Hi, lifelong Shure M44-7 (Ortofons for live here), I've gotten a pair of Grado DJ200s as a gift from a guy who's out of DJing. Has anyone had experience with these? Is it just me or is it a cue nightmare? Spin it back and get a bounce back a few grooves. Regular 1200s with no tonearm mods.

I have to say I feel like there's been an uptick in just pushing the BPMs higher, at least in my neck of the woods (Berlin + Eastern Europe). Playing trance tracks in techno/house sets has been a thing for while now, but 135-140 being jacked up in techno nights feels like a thing now too. Industrial Strength is playable again! Reminds me of the old late 90s tech house in the UK where every single track was played +6-8%, Terry Francis Essential Mix a good example of that.

Papa Was A Video Toaster posted:I've seen a couple DJ sets using PT-1210 for Amiga. But I am not in posession of any Amigas. Renoise works, it can play back Amiga MOD files ezpz, can also go the WinUAE route. Here is the .mod from the De Profundis demo running 1:1 in Renoise. Sometimes there might be some minor inaccuracies, but for the most part it's consistent.  Question for any vinyl DJs: for DJing purposes, I've been a Shure diehard for quite some time, but after my replacement stylus has broken yet again, I think I'm gucci to switch over to Concordes. I can get a good deal and discount on any of the V2s, anyone have experience with the Club? That's the one I want to get, just heard it has a tendency for the stylus to gently caress up fast. I mix only by riding the pitch and don't do any scratching or a lot of backcuing, wondering if it's worth considering the Scratch one as well though. For the Elite - I have an audiophile cart already, so pass on that. Mike Cartwright fucked around with this message at 01:02 on Sep 10, 2023 |

The master/cue system is on purpose, but some 92s have issues with the cue and bleed, I've had an issue at a club where turning cue all the way to the right would blast out master and cue at the same volume, a bit weird. So could be a mixer issue. I really like 92s.

Papa Was A Video Toaster posted:What is the hardcore referred to by 909 Worldwide etc? It's not quite happy hardcore. Reference track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nI7EHQVzZlc To be honest that just sounds like nightcore you can find on odd YouTube vids with anime girls on them. Happy hardcore sounds something like this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSIXapIQJYA

qirex posted:Hardcore is like metal in that there’s one million sub-genres and they’re extremely regional. True, you've got the early European stuff from Belgians, pre-hardcore I'd say. :P https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohyDlngOekQ Then the Dutch guys/Rotterdam doing their stuff - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgQ8nGjEEwo Then you got Lenny Dee with Industrial Strength stuff - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvBypzYKo8Y And the UK.. I mean, there's regional divisions within early UK hardcore too, but I guess this is a typical track - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rv9kPTdk4q0 Yeah, you're right, I don't want to go further. Hardcore has many facets. >

Splinter posted:10 years ago I used to have to order small batch vinyl releases shipped from the UK (to California) to get certain tracks that weren't released digitally on either beatport, juno download or even SoundCloud (just for me to rip to FLAC to use digitally). I have a feeling you would've found the vinyls for the tracks you want in your searching if they existed though. in UK DJ culture yea jungle/ukg/grime/dubstep etc. etc. have had a dubplate culture for ages. used to be acetates, more rare lathe cuts of unreleased stuff. nowadays still happens, at least for the prior mentioned genres you get VIPs of tracks. sometimes they get released but usually shuffled around between labelmates/DJs/friends etc. - tbh happens a bit less in the underground house/techno scene although certainly there's edits that are kept for yr own usage or secret weapons. tracks can go like.. 10-15ys before you find them tho. just recently a track I was searching for since 2009 was a b-side on some swedish pop single that was pressed with a house remix only in italy. found not on discogs, but in.. italy. price? 15 cents. : ) anyhow, algo threw me a mark n mix hadn't seen in ages today. might have caused me to spend 3h flipping back the decks vertically and scratching 7s. serious workout. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lue98yn0KOQ Mike Cartwright fucked around with this message at 03:41 on Jan 10, 2024 |

abuse culture. posted:I would pay real money to have someone organize my insane folder structure and tag all my poo poo with genres and moods etc. I also tried one of those programs that claims to do that, but it was so fuckin janky and bad Will sound like a boomer here, but as a mostly raised on vinyl DJ that prefers to play on CDJs when I play out, I've found that reducing the amount of stuff you have + just relegating some tracks to an archival drive works as a treat. if I play out, I like to keep a rule that I'm not bringing more than 2x the tracks on digital as if I would have brought vinyl. end up with like 200 tracks max per gig, works for me when I'm getting overloaded.
