My cozy little corner DJ booth with a monitor set up behind my DDJ-FLX10 controller, along with monitor speakers and a plethora of fun little decorations and plants snuck in here and there. The controller is active and Rekordbox is on the monitor, but the playlist of songs is scribbled out because it's still a surprise!

Back behind the decks tonight working on a very special set for two very good friends of mine who are getting married next weekend... The pressure is on to fit everything I want into this playlist but man I'm super excited how this is turning out so far!!

Decisions, decisions....

I think I'm gonna set up a separate account soon specifically for DJ posting, since I want to get moving on streaming along with uploading to and promoting my Mixcloud stuff and I don't want to spam my timeline here... only question is, which instance do I wanna set it […]

Y'all I'm SHOOK

#Rekordbox runs in WINE now

WINE 11 just came out for Linux and for shits and giggles I tried installing Rekordbox to see what would happen and... it just... installed. And launches. Without error.

WHAAAAT

A screenshot of a Linux Mint desktop showing Now Playing (a Windows app used to provide an automatic song title overlay for streaming DJs) working with the native Linux version of Mixxx

One step closer to being able to stream my DJ sets on #Twitch! I got #NowPlaying (a Windows app used to create a live track name overlay for OBS) to run on Linux via WINE - and with a little symlink magic, it even works with the Linux version of #Mixxx!

Gods I wish I had any sort of music production skills because I want an extended club mix of Above & Beyond and Oliver Smith's hauntingly beautiful tune from this summer, "Here Before", SO BAD omg :dragnheadphones:

This is freaking *WILD* y'all! A friend sent this to me the other day, I've never seen a DAW that works like this before!

So now I'm giving Winboat a try... Kinda a last resort sort of thing because it requires you to install and run Docker (and doesn't set it up for you either) - all so it can just run a Windows VM for you lmao. At least it automates the Windows install!

#DJThoughts #DJBaral #DJs

The audio player part seems to work though, which is kinda weird! It also seems to want GPU acceleration too, but enabling the latest DXVK via Winetricks causes MIK to become very unstable. I tried Bottles to run it via Proton-GE but the prereqs wouldn't install.

#DJThoughts #DJBaral #DJs

I've gotten it to install in Wine 10.0 (it needs .NET Framework 4.7.2+ and Visual C++ Redistributable 2015-2022) and added a file, but whatever method it uses to access the filesystem kicks out a null reference error, so I can't get it to analyze anything.

#DJThoughts #DJBaral #DJs

What I wouldn't give for Mixed In Key to either have a Linux-native version or at least one that will actually work through WINE...

Resident Advisor recently sat down for an interview with EDM legend Paul Van Dyk about his legacy as one of the founding fathers of trance music and his thoughts on the state of the genre today. It's a really lovely listen!

There is something about the melody of this one that is just... Mmmf. Addictive AF! This song is 100% going in my music library!

I really wanna learn how to make music. Maybe now is the time to start getting serious about DJing and producing. I have MUCH to learn and it won't be overnight but I think it'd be a lot of fun and really, really rewarding. And I'm not getting any younger, so no better time than now! #DJthoughts

....these things get heavy as the amount of them adds up, lol. #DJ #DJnight #vinylrecords #DJthoughts #DJmethods

One of my favorite new #Trance songs here lately has been stuck in my head since I heard it last week on #ASOT1224... I wish it was longer, but Aimoon's new song with Ars, "Hyperspace", is a BANGER <3

Gods I love #trance music... The piano in the breakdown and other quiet parts of Daniel Skyver's remix of Fall to Pieces by Jonas Steur and Jennifer Rene is just *gorgeous* and gets me every single time! :dragnheadphones:

Aww man I should've brought my DJ deck to my parents' place... I didn't because I didn't have room for any speakers. But I forgot they have a stereo in the basement I could've used... Wouldn't be playing that loud anyway. It would have been fun to practice! #DJthoughts

I really need to practice a LOT more though, especially since I have the free time to do it now! I just get demoralized when I don't have all the tunes I wanna play. Maybe I should consider joining a streaming pool or something, but... I really prefer buying tracks vs streaming. #DJthoughts

Got a bunch of really good #trance tunes burning a hole in my cart on Beatport but I keep missing their sales :( They used to advertise and even send me e-mails during sales but I never get them anymore! Frustrating. #DJthoughts #EDM
