Yeah, I started mixing in the headphones only. The neighbor just had a baby so I thought I'd be nice.

I try to have things as low as possibe beacuse my home stereo fell though my now broken window the last time i cranked it up with the bass, it also helped me with headphone to monitor cueing beacuse i really had to listen to what was going on, and you figure out what to listen for really quick when you strain your brain since the music is so low. but when everyone is out of the house i will crank it up just a bit more, I dont think its cool that people turn things up just beacuse the bass is making your crotch vibrate, less is more IMO

I was banging it about 5 minutes ago... but i live in a town house so the walls dont let too much noise through, and everyone is at work. People usually get off at 5, so usually at 5:30 i turn it off.

(I just ran out of time on one track so i was like fuck it and turned it off... Come into my kitchen = 4 minutes.... too short when the mix was about 1:30 seconds long. not enough time to look for another track and mix it in )

I hate it when that happens

fairly low volume when i'm messing around or my housemate and i are going 2 for 2. When we have a party though i get drunk and crank my shit up. Last big night (was a saturday) we had here we received one noise complaint at 11:30PM which we really didn't take seriously. The next noise complaint was at 3:30AM at which point i told the onsite manager he is like a brother to me while i put our garage door down

It's a 7 unit complex designed for students which most of the people here are. What the fuck is the go where the 9-5 mon-fri workers party harder than the students, isn't that what being a student is all about?

Funny thing is all we use are Logitech Z-2300's in the loungeroom or Z-680's upstairs in my bedroom. I've been looking at $2-3K worth of Powered PA gear lately... imagine what they will have to say about that?

As loud as I damn well please.

I used to have it as loud as possible to simulate a club environment. Now I don't practice anymore, so I listen to music at a reasonable level, which is still fucking LOUD.

Latest Mix

haha, i go so loud my windows shake, afraid they will shatter soon..
i live in a house and my neighbors don't seem to care.
but when im not in a blasting mood i have a shitty stageworks speaker i use as a monitor when i mix.

I usually have it thumping pretty loud.

It's a two story house and my DJ gear is upstairs but I only play it really loud when nobody is home.

What I did as soon as I setup my gear is turn the volume up loud, walk outside and to see how loud it was because I didn't want the neighbors complaining, surprising all you can hear is some bass from outside which isn't much at all.

So to answer it when I'm mixing I have it pretty loud, I can't mix with it on low volume, well I can but just don't get into it as much

Sometimes I notch it up to max volume here and play with hearing protection plugged in my ears. Just get get the feeling of playing in the club and getting used to my filters

My closest neighbors live like 100Meters away, and the other ones at least 300Meters. I live in the middle of nowhere. I love it when it comes to playing music out loud.
