Hey fellow DJs, Just started djing and I have a question about the sync button.

There is this effect a lot of DJs use where they turn a knob and then the whole song sounds like it's underwater. I'm guessing underwater sound = sync, but when I press the sync button, the song still sounds normal?

How can I get my song to sync?

Out of the last 3 Armin sets I went to, 2 were CHEESE as hell. Most latest one had a lot of good trance and really got the whole crowd going - something for literally everything.

But with that said, I've noticed in my life a lot of DJ sets from otherwise amazing producers where they just leave you unsatisfied and wanting more. Whether it's them skikping the drop of a classic song into some mid remix, or just not playing the genre they're known and loved for, or something else.

I don't think Im the only one that feel this way but just curious if I'm a small minority

So back in January, I discovered there is a whole world of DJ’s on the Twitch platform that have phenomenal talent.
I think that it’s so much better than listening to pre-recorded mixes because it feels human and live and there is community.
I must spend over 8 hours a day with twitch open, and I just wanted to share my addiction with you all in case you’re looking for something new.

A bonus is that most DJ’s seem to stream add-less too, as to not interrupt the tunage! (Sometimes they have pre-rolls, but that’s just 30 seconds and then nothing more)

I’m opening a new club dedicated to the techno community (DM for picture if helpful). Think dark smokey room, minimal lights, more on the groovy side. Inspo are rooms like Berghain, RSO (on a good night), Levenslang, FOLD, etc. bookings are aligned with Berghain sound (Danny Wabbit, Rene, Glaskin, Mac Declos, etc).

I need to announce this club early next week and we are struggling a lot on the name… it’s opening in a German speaking region and is small (100pax) and focused on the local crowd more than international exposure. English or German names both work. The club is under train tracks next to many other clubs in the “Bögen” area of our city. The whole club is arch shaped and very raw/industrial with exposed walls, etc.

Names we’ve played around with so far:
- Tunnel (NYC reference + we have a little tunnel behind the booth for chilling)
- Unterbahn
- Signal room / Funkraum
- Monitor
- Bahnwerk (though to close to Bahnwerter Thiel nearby-ish)

But nothing has really clicked. Any ideas?? Thanks all so much for the help! Trying to build something special for the people here :)

Also, why do people always throw themselves at you when you tell them you have a song on vinyl.

Recently got a great club residency, Thursday - Sunday... great pay, good hours... It is what I worked for the last year for, doing what i love for money.... but I have been so lonely recently, it sucks because my other DJ friends always have their own bookings... and my non dj friends dont want to just come to my club every weekend... and having my days off during the week sucks....

I suppose that is true of any weekend-focused job but it feels weird because I am surrounded by so many people all the time....

does anyone else relate to this and is able to share some advice / support?

Been looking into DMX stage lights lately and I’m confused about how big the real difference is between cheap fixtures and the expensive ones. I was browsing alibaba the other day and noticed some moving heads and LED PARs have almost the same listed features as the big brands DMX control, RGB colors, gobos, strobe, sound mode, auto programs, all that. Bt I’m guessing specs on paper don’t tell the full story. For people who’ve actually used both, what changes the most? Brightness? Movement? Reliability? Programming? I’ve heard mixed opinions. Some people say budget fixtures are perfectly fine for small events, house parties, churches, or beginner setups. Others say the problems start later with overheating, noisy fans, dead LEDs, weird DMX channels, or inconsistent colors between lights. I’m nt doing huge concert productions or anything serious, so I’m trying to figure out if paying way more actually makes a noticeable difference in real use. Would love to hear honest experiences from people who’ve worked with both cheaper lights?

I've been adding a bunch of flairs to some of you wankers; for when you post, comment, or share memorable things here on /r/DJsCirclejerk. Here's the down-low:

• You can't customize it yourself. It'll be tailored to your specific regardation.

• You might also notice a bunch of "I don't know how /r/DJsCirclejerk works"; that's a cone of shame because clearly the concept of /r/DJsCirclejerk isn't understood, which isn't really that difficult of a concept to grasp. I don't know if you were dropped on the head as a baby, have poor reading skills, suffer from dementia, or have been drinking motor oil for a while.

• /r/DJsCirclejerk still runs on BYOK (Bring Your Own Ketamine).

• All previous custom flairs are gone. It's a fresh start.

• Replying here does not guarantee getting a flair. They will be based on general interaction on /r/DJsCirclejerk.

hey there guys i have been djing for a while and i am wondering the best way to download tracks from soundcloud cause i hate having bad quality on some tracks and what else do i need to know about track sound quality?

All my DJ friends are sleeping in their cars and barely make ends meet. My parents pay for my rent and equipment. I have less than $100 in my bank account and just pay for everything with my dad’s amex. Would I loose “street cred” over this? Should I hide it so I’m not called an “industry plant”? I swear it’s just money and ZERO connections, that was all me and my bag.
