Glad you like it ;)

Nice set,David!:)☀

[@davidmahner]

Thanks man :)

Best to turn off multicore & enable to use more RAM for best performance 'for now' in extensions settings. Pioneer/Rekordbox need to add an option for core allocation or priority splitting between threads. Pre sets. For example enough left to process basic tasks the rest to analyse. Using all cores/threads for analysis just maxes every CPU & leaves the basic tasks (playing back tracks & mixing between other channels)CPU unattended & causes pops & audio issues due to the 100% CPU load on analysis. Making the above adjustments solves the issue. But yes, it would be good to use a CPUs potential, just needs better implementation.

Nice Mix

[@davidmahner]

Thanks for listening

[@johnwatkins8102]

Great mix, what's your opinion on the build quality on your controller. Does it feel cheap? thanks

[@davidmahner]

Thank you! No it doesn’t feel cheap it’s definitely pro level but there’s is still a slight difference in quality when you compare it to the pro mixer and players from pioneer or even an XDJ XZ or XDJ RX3👍🏻 but it feels a lot better than the FLX6 oder FLX4!

[@CMDavis11]

Ive had my FLX10 for about 2 weeks now and its awesome to watch you mess around to have good reference on some things i could possibly utilize in the future, so thank you for that, stems are alot of fun. I didnt hear too much stem audio bleed through from this like i do on some of my recordings, do you experience that?

[@davidmahner]

Thank you so much man. I think it’s such a shame that Rekordbox has probably the worst stem quality to date. Serato, ADJ, Virtual DJ.. the competition is just so far ahead. But I guess they will at least catch up some day because they also owned Serato DJ and when they do it’s gonna be awesome. Because Rekordbox for me is the best and most stable and most amazing dj software out there 😉 no dropouts, no crashes.. just convenience.. but stem quality is really bad 😔

[@iansky]

good work. keep it up!

[@aaronthespeaker]

amazing

[@davidmahner]

Haha nice in depth analysis bro thank you for that 👍🏻 I hope they improve stem quality as soon as possible but hopefully without needing even more CPU power or RAM 😔 but I don’t know how they could achieve this

[@djchase206]

VDJ and Djay seem to do stems realtime. Pioneer needs to get their act together. Nice mix BTW

[@Aliceroom_11]

Set show

[@rsoxygenrs4614]

süper

[@davidmahner]

Thanks!

[@williamfunch-hansen6623]

is this improvised? or is it a planned set?

[@davidmahner]

It is improvised 👍🏻

[@williamfunch-hansen6623]

@@davidmahnerwow. Thats really good. I hope i Can be as good as you one Day.

[@letitbe978]

hows the jog feel? is it good like cdj 1000 or 900?

[@davidmahner]

Yes it’s really good like CDJ 1000, 900, 2000 etc. It’s mechanical 😉

How are you finding the FLX10? really can't decide on that or the RX3. How is the responsiveness of the FLX10? Any lag issues or problems from a operating system perspective? have a 2015 Macbook Air and apprehensive about whether it can run it or not. Just factory reset it so should be sweet in terms of performance.

[@davidmahner]

I think your decision should consider if you want to dj with a laptop or without in general. Personally I would go for the RX3 because it can control rekordbox dj software as well as it is able to run completely standalone. The FLX 10 needs a laptop and software. I'd only suggest the FLX 10 over the RX3 if STEMS is an absolutely must have for you and you wanna go nuts with it. But be aware that for STEMS your Macbook needs much power under the hood. Not so much in Rekordbox than in Serato but it still needs power. And as I had the FLX for a couple of time I can give you an inside that when you use the STEM functions on the FX unit it changes the Sound of the Audio Signal and it doesn't Sound good anymore. Like even if you are not actually using an Effect, turning on or of STEMS in the Fx unit removes also frequencies of the running tracks. I hated this as a perfectionist 😄 so I hope you find this helpful ;)

[@sinancavus]

I agree on this very good comment, pin-point. I got flx-10 instead of rx-3 a cpl of months ago, mostly because of the stems and also having a 4 channel mixer (a bit the dmx output, couldnt get any lighting compatible yet though). However, recently i am thinking mayne i should have gone for the rx-3. As obvious now, i dont find the stems quality widely usable on rekordbox yet, havent tried serato yet though. It is very hard to find tracks that stem seperation works fine. Again as David mentioned, turning on/off the "fx part select" button, changes the track quality even though fx button is off, bugging me as well. Might say dont turn it on if you wont use it but sometimes you just cant do it at the same time so it needs to be ready upfront. Also i experienced some issues when i first got it like turning on any stem on any deck, was killing the other deck on mixer, although volume faders are up, deck playing, no sound. Went to warranty for this reason with a detailed video but they couldnt find anything wrong and suggested i use a ups for clean electric voltage and frequency, solved the problem. Have 6th gen I7 notebook with 32gb ddr4 ram with nvme ssd, not enough power. Yesterday had to re-start recording a set at 30th minute because of a 1 beat time glitch in rekordbox. If rx3 had a 4 channel mixer i would immediately upgrade to it since it can control rekordbox as well if you want to. Also sometimes it is just too tiring turning on the laptop, opening the rekordbox, making sure no other software running to disturb rekordbox, after a long work day. Sometimes you just want to be able to switch on the standalone unit and speakers and readg to go for a short relaxing session.. Was too long but i hope was helpful, cheers ✌️

[@Aminrcom]

Which one do you suggest to me? Flx10 or rx3?

[@davidmahner]

RX3 for sure ;)

[@sakuraihiroki04]

Why?

[@antoinesoulier7453]

Merci pour la vidéo après le mix n'est pas du tout au point.

[@davidmahner]

It is live mixing of new songs I didn’t know so well and stems are difficult as well 😉 so this happens :) but I wanted to show the mix anyways although it’s not perfect

[@DJGE74]

Muy bien, pero sin ofender, no hagas scratch en un sesión hasta que hayas aprendido., por que la estropeas.

[@genkhi-ficulturebeat4325]

che tristezza...il mondo del dj infangato 😢
