    New Windows 10 "God Mode"

    Interesting conversation... I'm torn because I'm a huge proponent of taking local administrator privileges away from end-users in an enterprise environment but I would never give up my own local administrator access. I'm also always logged in with administrator credentials on my personal...

    Tracktor Time-Coded CDs questions?

    You can use Traktor offline; It has no online features whatsoever. Anything you can do with a normal CD you can do with timecode. The hot cues inside Traktor will be more accurate than the ones on the NDX-400s though so I would personally set hot cues in the software and use keyboard shortcuts...

    DJ Gear Criteria?

    I would pay for a membership to that site... Although I'm not sure I want to see what people have to say about me :D

    Mixxx

    An important thing to remember: a firewall will not protect you for a large number of the vulnerabilities that exist. A firewall does only one thing: controls incoming and outgoing traffic over a network. Most firewalls are an "open" or "closed" deal for various ports and there is no monitoring...

    Switching Websites

    If you move the site as it is and leave it running in the old location for at least 48 hours during the transition for any DNS that hasn't updated then no; It will not affect your SEO. No. If you change domains then possibly (if you don't use a redirect) but if you simply transfer the domain...

    New Pioneer controller... No computer/laptop needed...

    Cool... Waiting for the XDJ-2000s to be announced though because I like my modular setup and the XDJ-1000s don't quite have the build quality I'm looking for.

    Mixed In Key for Traktor

    I ran my entire library through MiK 7.0 and my assessment is "it works... kind of." It put a lot of cue points on snares instead of down beats, some of the cue points were in really weird places like the middle of a break, many were out of phrase (on a 2 count or such,) on quite a few of the...

    Question for Google Play buyers

    Dunno about in the US but in Canada the main one is https://www.mytitanium.ca/default/ and you can sign-up for them at MoneyMart and then do all of your reloading online so you never need to step foot in a MoneyMart again. (MoneyMart is one of those predatory 'pay-day loan' places but they have...

    Question for Google Play buyers

    There are pre-paid Visa cards that work exactly like a debit card (no credit, maintain a balance, etc) but they have a Visa number you can use for online purchases. They're similar to the $50 cards or whatever that you can get at a gas station but they actually have your name on them and are...

    Question for Google Play buyers

    It's probably regulatory / population based. The UK has like twice the population of Canada so more potential customers generally leads to faster roll outs. We still don't have half the features touted in Google Now, the new YouTube app that plays while your phone is off doesn't work in Canada...

    Question for Google Play buyers

    Hmm, I wonder if I can't see that option in Google Wallet because I'm Canadian. "Google Wallet" here is really just your Play Store balance but you can't add to it from a credit card or bank account only gift cards.

    Question for Google Play buyers

    I don't believe you can... Otherwise it would be here: https://wallet.google.com/manage/ under payment methods but you can only see your cards and balance no way to add balance. You can buy Google Play cards in 10, 25, 30, 50, and 100 denominations all over the place though from gas stations to...

    Question for Google Play buyers

    Not sure I understand. You want to add funds to your account instead of simply leaving the credit card linked?

    What Makes One A Real DJ

    I think it's even simpler... You're a "real DJ" when you feel like a "real DJ," but at the end of the day it's a useless label. More important labels are "mobile," "club," "open format," "turntablist," etc that actually tell people who might want to book you a little something about you.

    A video reply to the question about a DJ drinking on the job: By John Young #DJNTV

    I think you're right. Luckily as someone who doesn't do weddings I'm not to concerned with the appearance of professionalism. I don't need a steady stream of new clients I just need to maintain existing relationships. The tux one is an interesting one I'd never heard before. Thinking on it my...

    A video reply to the question about a DJ drinking on the job: By John Young #DJNTV

    In a bar/club everyone working is being paid and everyone with the exception of the security staff is typically able to drink. Bartenders, servers, porters, etc are all generally able to consume alcohol within some limit imposed by the venue. The video in the OP is slightly inaccurate in its...

    Cleaner Song Cuts

    The idea with art is that there is no "better," at least in my mind. Art is an expression of the artist and it is their message. It's perfect when it conveys the message the artist wants it to convey (to themselves, the audience doesn't even need to understand. Art is personal.) An example I...

    Cleaner Song Cuts

    My real issue with censorship in music is that it's changing someone else's art to be more agreeable to ones own personal biases which goes against the spirit of art. If a lyricist included a profane word in their song they did it for a reason; It is part of not only the message but also the...

    Cleaner Song Cuts

    Fair enough, and don't get me wrong I am perfectly aware that there are plenty of places swearing is not acceptable and my profane inclinations disappear in those situations. I spent years dealing with clients and I can assure you I never once swore when speaking to any of them; However, once I...

    Cleaner Song Cuts

    I will also apologize for being so long winded and also opinionated on this subject and if I cause offense to anyone. Profanity is simply an area of interest to me. It is a subject on which I have read the scholarly works and follow the sociological and psychological research (which is rare for...

    Cleaner Song Cuts

    You're correct which is also the same reason I started smoking (8 months since I quit) these days however I also use swearing as a way to suss out people I know I won't get along with. I've found the most hard-line anti-profanity individuals often hold other opinions and ideologies that I...

    Cleaner Song Cuts

    Children sure... but the fact you felt the need to include women is just a little bit sexist don't you think? The idea that women are delicate flowers who need the protection of a man is antiquated and far more offensive than any profane word in the English language. Not only do women not need...

    Cleaner Song Cuts

    I meant I don't envy the type of gigs where one needs to be hyper concerned about the content of songs and be afraid that even playing the Radio Edit might get them in trouble. That type of job stress is not for me. "I don't envy you," is simply a "better you than me" statement. Which i would...
