I've been adding new tracks into my crates, and I can't help but favor the original or album version over the single, club, or extended edit.
As a DJ, you tend to favor extended or club because it gives you more time, it's designed for the dance floor... but I'm now at a cross roads where I prefer the album or original version.
If you ever felt this way, feel free to share your examples.
I've been using Traktor gear since 2010. It's not the only gear I use, but it's the majority of equipment I have. The only time I've ever used search bar touch strips was on CDJ 2000s and up. I don't have a pair of CDJ 2000s, but when I DJed at other peoples' events, I'd notably use them to quickly preview tracks while mixing. This would help me know if the next song I want to play was the right song, or had the right energy.
About a week ago, I picked up a Numark Mixtrack Pro 3. I didn't need it, but the seller sold it super cheap, and I figured I could "flip it" and sell it off (seller said they had issues; I fixed said issues).
I decided to play around with the controller, get the idea or the feel for the unit. I'll be honest: I was impressed. The build quality was much better than I imagined, the lights were something I appreciated, and out of all features that were lacking in my Traktor gear, touch strips to skim through tracks were very useful for me.
Just like on CDJs when I was previewing incoming tracks in my mix, I'd use the touch strips to jump around in the songs, and it saved me quite a lot of time. In Traktor, they have "beatjump", which is a nifty tool, but it is a lot of "twisting" the knob, even when you set the beatjump to a higher rate (16, 32, and etc.). The fact that a touch strip can jump through a track in one push, saved me from constantly twisting knobs.
I'm not sure if this justifies me holding onto the controller. I could possibly sell it still. But I was just surprised that touch strips would have had an impact in DJing live events, to the point that it makes me question which I preferred to use.
I understand the sentiments against AI, tech oligarchs investing in data centers, and etc.
But could local LLMs, be used to empower people, and ignite more startup projects?
I use an LLM to draft all sorts of writing. It's not perfect, but it's an easy way to flesh out my ideas in an outline or rough draft. Other open source projects like "openclaw" is a great way to create a personal assistant.
Neural networking is here, and isn't going away anytime soon. It'll probably get better over time.
Should people be thinking about "how I can use local AI to help me" than "anti-AI"?
As the title states:
How long have you been living in PH as an expat? What have been your pros and cons?
I'm seeking recommendations of audio interfaces that work well out of the box with Linux. Meaning little to know configuration and tweaking needed.
Also, feel free to share audio interfaces that don't work well out of the box, as a warning for those to be aware.

I'm looking to start a PeerTube channel, incorporating some DJ livestreaming and other content, but I've noticed that folks haven't been consistent on their posting.
Some folks have posted live streams from 7~5 years ago, but I don't see anything that's consistently monthly or regular. Why is that?
Also, do copyright music infringements apply if I were to play a mix that has that type of content?
Folks that already DJ on the fediverse, via PeerTube or otherwise, what are your commendations and thoughts?

I was just curious, and I have some interest in it.
