![]() ![]() With my Leatherman tool I was able to remove the horn lens and discovered that the driver attached to the horn snapped off. I move all my gear to the back of the house / service hall area, right behind where I was going to present. As I unload from my truck, I pick up one of my tops and I hear / feel a rattle that wasn’t there before, nor should be there in the first place… So the day of the seminar, I’m moving in my rig. The breakout meeting room we were in did have in-house sound, but it was pretty anemic. I decided to bring in my FULL sound rig because, well, as a working DJ, I wanted to ensure the attendants got a nice full sound experience. Posted in DJ Gear, Uncategorized and tagged DJ Booth, Music Format, Vinyl, Vinyl Crates on Augby djnickjames.įor those who didn’t know, I was presenting a mixing seminar at the DJ Expo two weeks ago. The mere fact that he was at that club said it all: You went to that club to hear that DJ.Ī fter being turned out to pasture following a 16-year club residency, Glen Ervin finds himself gainfully employed as Promo Only sales manager, media consultant and staff writer. Just as you wouldn’t tell a plumber how to fix a faucet or your barber how to cut hair, you wouldn’t think of walking into a club and telling the DJ how to do his highly specialized job. The Sanctity of the DJ Booth – Not so long ago audiences expected a DJ to DJ. Nostalgia does not equal great sound, just nostalgic sound. If warmer sounding is what you’re looking for, a few filters, a little mid-range boost and analog speakers are all it takes. And as for vinyl sounding “better,” the lossless CD-quality files reputable DJ pools offer provide the same high-res 24-bit audio the artist hears upon studio playback. Vinyl – Here’s a dirty little secret you won’t see on the “Real DJs Spin Vinyl” threads spreading like Zika on social media these days: Even the best cared for vinyl will crackle and pop after repeated use. The only thing I miss about that is my money. Upgrading Formats – If my research is correct, and it should be because I didn’t do any, in the 1990s the record labels made approximately a bazillion dollars getting us to repurchase the same music we bought on vinyl on “indestructible” compact discs. Given my druthers (and my age) I much prefer the unbearable lightness of my laptop. ![]() Lugging Crates – I never weighed a crate of vinyl, but if I had to guess I’d say it fell somewhere between ‘are you kidding me’ and ‘call 911.‘ On the plus side, gravity did inspire me to pare my options down to well-planned playlists, the downside of which was that I could never plan for everything. Shopping for music – While I didn’t have to walk 15 miles uphill both ways to buy music when I was kid, I did have to make a 90-mile pilgrimage to the bright lights and big bins of Orlando’s Orange Avenue for the “good stuff.” It was there I would spend entire afternoons combing through albums, along with other preternaturally pale music nerds, some who are still friends today - none of who would trade the ability to download the newest releases from the comfort of their favorite chair for days gone by.įUN FACT: In 1985 a typical album was $9.98. Let’s take off the rose-colored beer goggles for a look back at a few things I suspect no one much misses - and the one thing we may all have to say goodbye to forever. My favorite go-to, inevitably: “DJing was better in the day.”ĭecide for yourself. Join me for a brew and odds are you’ll hear me go grumpy old man about my favorite pastime, too. Might be worth adding this to that FAQ troubleshooting note.Crack a cold one with my dad and he’d inevitably fall into telling you how the Designated Hitter Rule and the equally un-American embrace of expansion teams ruined baseball. To fix it, go to (Windows 10) Settings -> Network & Internet -> Properties Button -> Change the Network Profile from Public to Private. My home wifi network was incorrectly marked as 'Public' and the communications between Rekordbox and the agent was being blocked by the firewall unless I ran as administrator (note: another symptom was that I could not drag files from Windows Explorer to a playlist in RB!). Originally I found that running RB6 as an administrator worked, but after a bit more investigation I found the issue was with Windows Firewall. I've seen lots of other posts with the same problem and no real solution other than 'Raise a ticket'. RB failed to start with the 'Cannot connect to agent' error Īfter disabling a load of stuff (AV etc), reinstaling etc, it still didn't work. I've recently upgraded from RB5 to RB6.2.4 on Windows 10 Pro.
