Some of this are coming of you Jessica? :huh:

I'm impressed...

 

I gave up to see potentials in 3DXChat as a kind of entertaining platform for DJ's...

I said in the past "slow but sure is it exactly the same like RLC and SecondLife" this Time is long over^^ :lol:

 

In the other Topic I said "DJ's should be role Models". What did you think will happen when 95% of the role models are Faker?

It's in my opinion the same as fake a female controlled Avi. It's not worth to talk about in a Adult MMO :)

 

The only thing you can do against this is to be a role Model and not be part of the same context...

Real djs have more opportunities to make music than just an MMO game.

 

 

10 Listeners who care real about your djing are more worth as 200 who think you fake. ;)

I wouldn't say 95% but it is a bit larger than many people would like to admit. I have always had issue with people doing this and I know some that have done it in the past and learn from mistakes. We are all human and do make mistakes. I know I certainly do. As long as we learn from them and move forward, I see it as an opportunity to make something positive from something negative. 

 

Also I do not support fakers in any way, shape, or form. The weird thing about this is that I will be looked down upon by many people because of this. There's a large number of people who do not share the passion for the music in ways that others do. It truly is a rare thing.

or 200 that are just there because it seems like the cool thing to do in that moment.

Ok 90% ^^ :lol:

That's true and I agree but you have to give everyone the chance to make his own mistakes and learn about :)

Are you sure? :lol:

If you use the stream source of an Faker or be a part of the same team you will always support them and at least you comes in the same pot whether you like it or not :)

I should also mention that what the fakers have trouble understanding is that most of these mixes from YouTube have post production effects on them that you can clearly hear and pick up if you have a decent sound system and know what you are listening for. Anyone that knows anything about mixing can hear these things and also recognize when extra equipment such as controllers, DAC, EQ, etc are needed to make certain transitions work properly. Unless you somehow know someone than can do a loop in 2 decks, a very slow fade, with high pass filter, and other effects at the same time such as flanger/echo, while also changing EQ settings, etc.   Well...I'd really love to see someone try to do a transition like this on only their PC  :)

I totally support you on this Jess and I will also now stay away from partys which have known fake DJs in their line up. Also all verified fakes will find a nice spot on my iggy list. I have to add just one thing about meta data. Some, like me, uses Serato DJ and so you will never see meta data in the stream since it does not support direct streaming. But there are other ways to find out if the mix is not theirs... also a little talk about the used equipment may show you if the DJ is real or fake.

Quite sure. I am not part of any "teams" or "groups"  I have done this in the past, but those days are behind me.  ;)

 

Edit: I choose to stay independent

What he means, if you play alongside with them even tho you are independent you might be associated with them.

 

Yes you always tell me it's about the music and to entertain people. But you know how I see it. Hence why you won't see my name pop up on some Events here. No matter how good and popular they are, cuz ppl clearly don't get what it is all about.

 

No I get it 100% but.. Achilles also did a large event in the past which turned out to be littered with fakes. Tho i'm quite sure at the time he did not know this at the time because I know how his stance on this.

 

I do not knowingly play alongside these Djs. I have in the past when I didn't realize but many DJ and organizers have been more active in verifying honesty ie: there are a lot more people know that seem to care about this. Even in the past, I did not play along side fakes. I have played along side people who have made mistakes and learned from them and changed their ways. I do not and will never condemn someone for making a mistake. Like I stated above, we ALL make mistakes and it we can learn from them and turn them into something positive, then that is a good life lesson.

Nope and I didn't care but finally I have regretted it :)

Firstly I thought to watch just about me and do the things correct as role model but then later I got the opinion of now because it's true that everyone who is honestly supports the drive of the fakes when he close his eyes and they do it together.

 

For example the first do it as fake, the second honestly and the third again as fake so is this person in the middle automatic in the same pot.

 

 

I've still the opinion ppl can do what they want in her rooms at least they have to agree with themselves to lie their friends.

As long I've the middles and the choices I'm not again a part of!

 

Everyone who knows me knows I will help everyone not matter is it a newbie or advanced member. I will help with partys, questions around of djing, music, servers etc but there is also for me a point where I don't understand fun...

 

No one needs to be perfect, I'm the last one who complains about music tastes, mixed or unmixed music, mistakes etc as long it is honest with legit content as a kind of own art :)

 

Behind a virtual border is there never the perfect method to prove it but we can try :D

I agree with all of this 100%

 

Lots of people know I am more than happy to help in any way I can and I have spent much time and many long nights helping people. I do get much enjoyment from it. I have tried to warn certain people about what they do and they ignore my words and simply think myself and many others are just stupid and don't know what is really going on. Even tho i'm usually happy to assist people who want to learn... if they continue the charade, it reaches a point to where I lose all respect for them and just give up on the idea of anything positive to happen from it all.

Sorry to interject, but you lot are super knowledgeable. I use Mixxx 2.0 but it keeps crashing and causing me and others problems - probably just because my computer is seven years old. Should I use the previous Mixxx? Or can you recommend another free dj tool. I don't want to pay as it's just a bit of fun for me - well ok, maybe a few £££!

I am not very familiar with Mixxx.

 

You can use winamp for free, you just need shoutcast DSP plugin and its very easy to set up. 

 

The full version of VDJ is also free but you need pro license to stream with it.

Thanks Jessica. I used to use winamp as it's so easy to use, but some songs have silly intros or fade to silence - eg Double Dutch by Malcolm McLaren (ace by the way) starts with a phone call to a radio show and Mixxx lets me choose where a song starts as this bit is a bit weird.

I used Mixxx for a longer time and never had problems with it so mabye its the PC. Winamp isnt really a good solution more a step back but if you want to use the free version of VDJ you could use butt for streaming which takes the sound directly from your soundcard and stream it. I use it for Traktor (bought it without knowing that it only works with Icecloud)

 

Here's the Lnk:

funny name but it works fine lol

It depends what you call "fake". Essentially what we are all doing is creating a playlist or set. You can get into beat matching and all that other technical stuff if you wish, but for me a simple crossfade is more than adequate and is more than effective with most genres of music, whereas beat matching only really works with electronic beats. I don't come to 3DX for a technical masterclass in DJing, I come to be entertained, I come to be socialise with friends, I am not some A&R person looking out for the next Skrillex on 3DX.

 

A compelling set can be like a story, it can have highs and lows, taking the listener on a journey, and a lot of that is not transitions, a lot of that is experience, of having a clear goal when you start your set, if you are doing it live then reading the crowd by monitoring local. What is also important is knowing music. I have a deep knowledge on a lot of different genres and have a big library and no exactly where to go to suit the mood, not mainstream stuff (although that can help sometimes), lesser known stuff and more obscure genres that make you stand out.

 

I create all my sets myself, however, if people want to use a mix from YouTube or wherever, does it matter? How does it affect you? Stop worrying what others think and just do your own thing. I really don't understand why the same people get so caught up on real and fake DJs.

You obviously did not even read my post :)

 

Here's the part I think you missed:

 

Now before I share my insight on this, please understand that I am in no way suggesting that in order to be a "real" DJ that one must perform live mixes. That is not what this is about. I also do many streams where I am not mixing, such as Lover's Lounge, or when I do occasional streams of pop, hip hop, etc. None of this is meant to take away from people who stream rock or metal or anything else that is usually not a mixed genre. I have the highest respect for all DJs who are honest and legit.

 

Having said that... 3dx currently has a growing trend of what I call "Fake DJs".  This is where someone will download a full 60 minute mix off YouTube or other sources and then play them at a party while posing and claiming the mix as their own or trying to fake that they are mixing live.

 

And does it matter if people use full mix off youtube and claim as their own.. YES it does. Is it better for someone to embezzle $500,000 from in front of a computer as opposed to breaking into someone else's house and stealing a TV?  Stealing is stealing, and claiming someone else's hard work as their own has it's own unique implications. It's literally a kick in the face of the entire industry. If you do not understand this, then I don't see how you can call yourself a DJ.

Can you clarify?

 

Are you saying people are actually admitting to x work being theirs (when it's not)? Or are you saying people are pulling music off YouTube and claiming to be a DJ?

 

In my opinion...

 

Producing of a song is art! Each Song is an Artwork...

The playing of songs in a separate compilation, Mixing songs together in a own Mixcompilation is another kind of Artwork :)

 

Both of them should be respected! No music producer deserves anything when his music is downloaded via YouTube. They doesn't do it to entertain humanity for free, they have to earn money with it.

 

A DJ does mostly just work with the Art of another people...

For an DJ is a Music Track the raw material for his work and without this material, the DJ has no work.

In my opinion should it for all DJ's be a role to support the producers of his raw material and get this Artworks on a legal way. Everything else is not respectful or supporting of Music producers.

 

To play a mix compilation of another DJ in own name is just a lie.

I do also not say that I am the artist of the songs I play and I am also not the painter of Da Vince's Mona Lisa :lol:

I did clarify in my post. and I clarified it again in my reply to Mulan.

This is more about people who are pretending to mix at party while people cheer them on. Anyone that spends the crazy amount of time to put together a proper mix understands how messed up this is. 

 

Also, I like you Athene and I promise i'm not trying to be shitty or point a finger at you but i very clearly covered all this down the last detail in my post but many people tend to not want to read anything and just jump into a conversation without knowing what was said in previous posts.

This is why it's usually best to READ what people post before you make a post yourself. Then threads don't turn into something different.
