      Mixed In Key has a help page that explains it, inside the software

    "Bishop of Salford Rave."
    I always thank God we didn't have smart phones back in the Day, how would we explain away to our Kids the utterly insane shenanigans we got upto at all of those late 80s/early 90s Raves in the UK. Utter Madness. Can you imagine trying to lay the law down to our Kids when all our escapades were all over TikTok and RUclips. Crimewatch LOL

    I went from an xz, to am opus quad, but now the AZ really has my attention... other than being able to use channel 3 as a separate line out, is there that much of a difference. I'm not rich, so I would obviously trade up, or sell my opus quad for this.

    • @digitaldjtips
      @digitaldjtips  13 дней назад +1

      I'd stick with the Quad

    I wanted to know, can the Numark mixstream pro go battery be swapped out after years of use? Reasons I ask I’m wondering if’s worth that extra money buying it…!

    Class as always - i have a FLX 10 and use a pc with a ryxzen 9 5800 and 64gb mem with a 4070 TI. Really powerful pc plugged into some Adam audio T8Vs but after about an hour of playing i get sound glitching and the audio sounds terrible until i reset reckordbox. Tried changing the buffer but it seems locked when im playing. Should i use the controller software to change it or am i better off with serato pro?

    • @PooFace2030

      It sounds like a audio driver issue.

      For me, I got sick of having a good spec windows laptop and still having to trouble shoot audio issues like this. I got a macbook and haven’t had one problem since.

    If you are buying a laptop now (and want it to last), I would go 32 gb...... 16 gb will be in the rear view soon. Technology is advancing at an exponential rate, it affects hardware and software. Ten years ago people used to joke that if you buy a new computer (or tv, etc) it is outdated by the time you drive out of the parking lot- that was ten years ago..... If you believe all the predictions- Soon it will all just be through the cloud, even video games- you will only need whatever hardware you use to access the cloud (w/e you prefer). If you look around, the small incremental steps toward that are already in place. Going to be a really interesting/ exciting decade coming up....

    • @digitaldjtips

    I bought a used 2020 i7 dell with 16gb ram thinking it wiuld be good enough to use with my Rane one. It was a piece of crap. It returned it and bought a m3 macbook air with 16gb. That thing blows through Serato with high fps, high res, lowest latency, stems and all the fx and looping and key lock. I check the system usage and it’s like im not running anything at all. I couldn’t be happier with a laptop.

    Why there are no good dj audio interfaces anymore? Even native Instruments stopped producing them. Pioneer is the only company i found still selling dedicated dj audio interfaces

    • @digitaldjtips
      @digitaldjtips  13 дней назад

      Because they're built into controllers nowadays.

    • @andersistbesser
      @andersistbesser 13 дней назад

      @digitaldjtips soso i am a professional dj since 1999 and i work with a laptop. Guys like me dont use big beginner controllers. Club mixer, traktor x1 , laptop. , thats it A good audio interface is essential. You dont even have room for big controllers if you come into the club. It looks like all those companies gave up the pro market and try to sell their controllers to kids. It really is a shame everyone is messing arround with stems and other unneccesary crap no working pro uses but u cant even get a good dj audio interface ... Native Instruments still selling x1 Controllers but no DJ card while not having avbuild in soundcard does not smell like "pro dj" either and i am a traktor user since version 1.0

    • @digitaldjtips
      @digitaldjtips  13 дней назад

      Not sure where you get that from - they've been making gear that looks and feels like this for a long time.

    • @andersistbesser
      @andersistbesser 13 дней назад

      @digitaldjtips the controller in this video looks exactly like denon prime and i do know the old pioneer controllers. None of them looked like this before prime. They had all in ones but the looked different most of them not even had a screen

    Can you please ask Native Instruments to release driver for Traktor S4 MK1 for Apple’s chipset please? This is the most ridiculous thing they made covering MK2&MK3 but not MK1

    • @digitaldjtips
      @digitaldjtips  13 дней назад

      Unfortunately, we don't really have the ability to ask and get things like this done, but I would ask them yourself if I were you.
