  • YouTube's ad problem just got worse: Users now seeing 90-second unskippable ads!

  • Nebula exists. Curiosity Stream exists. PeerTube exists. Odysee exits. The people I value on YT already have footholds on all four. More will arrive soon enough.

    Exactly my thoughts too.

  • I fully made the switch 6 years ago, and that was after using Traktor for 10 years, and various other software from 2005 to 2010. I think I've used Serato Scratch Live, M-Audio Torq, Virtual DJ, Serato Itch, and etc.

    Part of me leaving Traktor was me being fed up with Microsoft (as they were becoming Microslop). I saw the trend with what Windows was doing, and Windows 11 broke the 'camel's back' for me: ads, TPM requirements, forced updates, surveillance, and etc.

    Traktor was also pushing me to leave their software too: dumb release of MK3 controller series (except S4), subscription model for Traktor Plus, now they're in financial solvency, and so on.

    So, I jumped onto Linux, and started using Mixxx around v2.2.4. I've known of Mixxx since the early 2010s. I just never had a reason to leave until 2020, but it was probably the best decision I made. Using Open Source software has helped expanded my DJing, especially in the file organizing part of music files.

    Bottom line: If you depend on a software company to DJ or do anything with art, be prepared for when that company takes a dive and quits being a company. I didn't want that dependency, so I jumped to open source.

  • when freestyle mixing with random song this helps save you so much times

    It does, right? I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels that way.

    But I think I'll move forward with selling the unit. It's definitely a fun one, but I'm not a fan of the FX lay out when compared to Traktor's units.

    Plus, I have touch screen laptops, so that could suffice for now. I just hate how laptop screens bounce when you touch them, haha!

  • Mixxx 2.5.6 released

  • To be honest, ever since the 2.5.2 or 2.5.3 release, I feel like they made some good major updates.

    My favorite one: complete overhaul and rewrite for the timecode support.

    The previous timecode system was pretty bad... Like, beatmatching and accuracy were pretty bad, but also, it sent a very weak audio signal and made my audio output sound pretty bad.

    2.5.6 is the last release before 2.6

    What systems specs do you currently have?

  • Majority of my devices are at least Ryzen 2xxx, that includes desktops and laptops. Ever since the release of Vega, I was blown away at their APU graphics. It definitely surpasses iGPU.

    I know dGPU could be better, but I preferred the (resale value) of Ryzen devices.

    However, I still use Intel 4th ~ 6th Gen laptops that I pick up for free, or had from 10+ years ago. Great for indie gaming still.

    I generally hold onto devices because they work perfectly fine with a SSD. Even though they're not "blazing fast" or cutting edge.

    Everything runs on NixOS.

  • Folks that DJ on the fediverse: What are your thoughts and recommendations so far?

  • So, you'd create a PeerTube channel, but probably minimal visuals, yeah?

  • anyone still active here?

    Jump

  • I just subscribed.

    Seems to be other Fedi-verse spaces on Philippines as well, so I guess subscribing to them all would keep me in the loop.
