rotary mixers are fun. its a different experience than traditional battle mixers. I got a cheap one by subzero which is a cheaper clone of the omnitronic rotary mixers. Im sure the sound quality is not up to par as the master sounds but it sounds just as good if not better than my rane 72. i only paid about $300 for that subzero rotary. but i only pull it out maybe twice a year. so I couldnt see spending the pricey amounts for the boutique rotaries.

This was supposed to be a 20 year anniversary re-release of this mix but i fudged that up. only 19 years. but fuck it, i'm putting it out anyway. This was supposed to go with the '05 okayplayer reunion dvd. still dont know what happened there. but anyway, still a dope mix. I got skits on here, commercials. Tells the story of a broke dj. its on my bandcamp as name your price. yeah, its free, but all donations are welcome. https://tbear183.bandcamp.com/album/budget-mix

i never really experienced the internet until fall 1996. thats when i started college. I spent alot of time in the computer lab or the engineering labs. They had dedicated T1 lines so everything was fast. we were on netscape. everybody had hotmail. i think the search engine then was miss web. or something like that. then yahoo made it big. spent most of my time on graffiti.org and okayplayer. we had dial up when I got home in '99. that shit sucked plus i had to basically wait until everyone went to sleep because it tied up the phone lines. eventually abandoned the internet at home. only used it at work until around 2006 when we got a cable modem.

i been on the galaxy train for a while now. I got the s22. i use my phone more now than ever. but thats mostly because you need an app to do damn near everything. I have been considering checking out the pixel the next time i get a new phone. i never really got into iphones. but, my iphone experience is only with my work phones. and i just found out that these are pretty much just a basic entry level iphone. i dont feel like im missing out or anything. I just wish they would bring back the micro sd options. i didnt know that they got rid of the micro sd until i got this damn phone. so I end up burning up most of the storage on day one. my sd card had all of my music that has been with me from one phone to the next. but all that to the side. the 24 ultra does look good. im not sure i need all of that. im sure i can get away with a s24

so does this mean playstation prices will drop since theres no console competition?

So, sometimes my wife gives me these challenge mixes. This time she wanted all blue eyed soul. (i hate the term blue eyed soul but thats a quick way of explaining it) anyway, it took me a while to figure out how I wanted to approach this mix. I jump around from the 70s to present to 80s to 90s. not a straight line at all but it works. i got some steely dan, some hall & oates, phil collins, toto. moonchild. its on bandcamp as name your price. https://tbear183.bandcamp.com/album/set-trippin-in-pleasantville

sound clash!!! be sure to tell us how that goes.

oh thats pretty. does it come with rotary faders?

Thanks for listening and thanks for the feedback. Im glad you said it has a raw sound. Its supposed to sound raw. The crew formed during the pandemic when we were all at home. The beginnings truly was one of the guys posting beats on instagram as a reel and others would remix the reel and rhyme over the beats. I put a few of those reels in the mix. I think i might do a few quick videos to explain exactly whats going on with the mix and the crew. there is a disconnect. people will like the posts but they wont leave the social media platform and actually listen to our music. So please, share it with people who love hip-hop

All songs on this mix was done by my crew GRYSKLL. I got songs on here. Remixes. blends. freestyles that was only on instagram. Its a dope ride clocking in at about 45 mins long. The GRY Tape (mixed by T-Bear 183) by T-Bear 183

you can turn those taskbar widgets off by the way. right click on the task bar. click on task bar settings. and turn off the widgets. I hate those pop ups. always happens when im trying to click on something else.

what you guys think about this here? a DAW for DJs.

Me and my oldest son did this last weekend. He wanted to make a villain song. He taught himself how to play the keys. He did the bass line and the melody. I added the drums and cuts. He wrote the lyrics.

we only use edge to download chrome. That and the main employee portal at work only fully works on internet explorer or edge. besides that, I dont have a use for edge or bing for that matter.

its not good. but its not bad either. sounds like some shit i would have done in high school with the homies. great for for a laugh. brings back memories of old lunchroom battles and bathroom cyphers 😂

@Steve thank you for that. shits been driving me crazy for years. that widget came with some random update. never thought to google how to remove it.

i literally just started using win 11 yesterday. well, at least at work. the only thing i noticed is that the start menu and search bar is at the bottom center instead of bottom left. they moved that annoying weather and news update thing to the bottom left so it dosent pop up every time you try to look at the calendar or adjust your sound. this is just my work laptop so as long as it does what i need it to do im fine. I dont really know what all has changed from 10 to 11.

is stanton even making new products?

hmmm.. i didnt consider how that would affect using the spindle when mixing. i pinch the spindle to slow it down slightly. never liked the feel of rubbing my finger on the platter. this could pose a slight issue.

the spindle clamp doubles as a weight for those old warped records. mojaxx did a review and put a concaved record on there and made it playable.

my mind is blown with this table. i hate the price. but i love the features. i can see how the price is justified though. would be nice if they made a stripped down version. I only need high torque and the time code.

found that shit https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DqVhYKogwNwVzHDlMjaFq70LnY1hQcPn/view?usp=sharing

its possible that it was never opened up and has 25 years of loctite on the screw threads. try soaking the area with acetone or nail polish remover for a few minutes. a few years ago, i bought a precision screwdriver set that has regular grips on them like full size screwdrivers. those are a life saver, i can actually grip the drivers with my hand and not just fingertips. plus i can put enough downward pressure on a screw when they are on tight. they are by mastercraft. i got them at a hardware store. but there are loads of options on amazon.
