![]() Noticing it immediately, I'd go clockwise instead and wonder, "Why's it backwards?"ĭon't rely on visual cues, even if you're nervous! Visual cues on unfamiliar software may work backwards to what your brain is used to. But of course, that was slowing it down when actually it needs to catch up to the top deck. So my instinct was to go counterclockwise on the bottom deck. It looks like it's to the right of the playing top deck. But that's where djay Pro's layout worked opposite my "Right means counterclockwise" instinct:Ībove, I'm mixing in the bottom deck. Since I wasn't familiar with djay Pro and kind of nervous, naturally I looked for visual helpers to compensate. It was because at work we always used Algoriddim's djay Pro. Calculate the magnitude of the gyroscopic couple produced when the ship turns right on a radius of 300 m with a velocity of 2.2 m/s. The effective rotating mass of the engine is 900 kg with a radius of gyration of 0.5 m. Now, I work for a music company, so we have CDJs, DDJs, and Denons, and whenever I jumped on after a colleague, the jogwheels always seemed "backwards." But actually, it wasn't that. The engine rotates clockwise at 6000 rev/min when viewed from the back. * And if it seems like the orange bar is in any way related to the distance between the red and white lines on the beatgrid, it's not! It's relative to the beatgrid of the other deck. Slow it down."* Eventually I turned it off, but it managed to cement a bad association in me: "Right means counterclockwise." This orange bar leading to the right means, "The track you're mixing in is too far ahead of the other one. It was a combination of relying on software visual cues, and using unfamiliar software, that made it seem so.īasically, when I was learning on Native Instrument's Traktor, I found these training wheels called a "phase meter": It turns out I didn't have a different setting than my colleagues. ![]() tl dr - Yet another reason not to rely on visual cues! Realized though that the reason I felt like my colleagues' settings were "backwards" was something totally unrelated, and kind of interesting and a good lesson for beginner DJs.
