Comment on Mac Pro sound defaults to internal speakers after restart or shutdown. by Dan

This worked for me on my late 2009 iMac, after restoring from a Time Machine backup the volume level was resetting after each reboot and this fixed my problem. Thanks!

I love it, thank you. I use to play the TTD when it came to market and kept playing OpenTTD on linux for years, but now that I switched to Mac there was this real issue of finding it compiled for it. Appreciate the effort.

Nice! Actually we both did the firmware upgrade since you can always downgrade to an older version. So far no problems.

Hi Bas and Marthijn!

I am happy to announce that I have also bought a Reloop DJ 2 Interface edition, actually at the same pace as Bas bought his Controller ed. They gave me a good price (not much more than what Marthijn paid for his), with the advantage that I have an unused product with a full year warranty.

I am really enjoying it so far. I upgraded to Traktor pro, to unlock even more functionality, and I downloaded a forum posted midi map: http://www.reloopdj.com/forum/index.php?topic=938.0.

One question still: did you guys do a firmware upgrade?

Comment on Mac Pro sound defaults to internal speakers after restart or shutdown. by Michael

You are my freaking hero!! I cant tell you how many forum posts I’ve looked at about this for months. They all only have the first part (remove the folder) which doesnt resolve the issue, but recreating it did finally!

Thank you!!

Comment on DJ and mixing video tutorials by Bas

Bas — Sun, 31 Oct 2010 15:30:36 +0000

Indeed, I think we can all agree on the controller fitting best for people with already two sound cards and the interface for people who do have a single soundcard.

Comment on DJ and mixing video tutorials by Marthijn

Marthijn — Sun, 31 Oct 2010 15:26:29 +0000

Bas B, I paid 225 eur for a 3 months old interface edition on marktplaats. In my opinion the interface edition is best price/value if you need a midi controller with sound card. I think you don’t need the features of the master edition when dj-ing at home.

Before I forget I bought the Reloop Digital Jockey 2 Controller at http://www.budgetqualitysound.nl/ for 179 EUR

Comment on DJ and mixing video tutorials by Bas

Bas — Sun, 31 Oct 2010 15:01:09 +0000

Hi Bas B. Thanks for your comment!

As an answer to your questions, I do like the Reloop Digital Jocky 2 Controller. It feels quite smooth, the faders operate pretty accurate. My custom midi mapping made it even work better.

Before I bought it, I never tried it out. Marthijn and I really did a lot of research and figured out this was the best option for our budget. Marthijn bought the interface edition btw. I did not since I already had two audio cards available.

The master edition is in my opinion a waste of money if you just do some cool DJ stuff on your pc. You really need to keep in mind when you use this product in a stand-alone setup.

If you have any more questions regarding the Reloop Digital Jocky 2 feel free to ask!

Comment on DJ and mixing video tutorials by Bas B.

Bas B. — Sun, 31 Oct 2010 12:50:31 +0000

First of all, thanks for the blog post! This comes in really useful!

I have been thinking about buying the Reloop Digital Jockey 2 myself for quite some time now. I am still hesitating between the Interface and the Master editions.

Some questions for you, Bas; how do you like the Reloop Digital Jockey until now? Where did you buy it? And were you able to try the product out, before you actually bought it?

Finally; Traktor came with its own Traktor Kontrol S4, which is really, really sweet!

http://www.native-instruments.com/#/en/products/dj/traktor-kontrol-s4/

Since I think I will not use 50% of the functionality offered by this product, and it is quite expensive as well (899,00 EUR); my first choice is still the Reloop Digital Jockey 2 (Interface edition).

@Jurgen
To be honest I’ve never really tried. A friend told me it worked with Viscosity and it worked for me. If you got it to work without, please let me know

Comment on OpenVPN on Ubuntu server for OSX clients tutorial by Jurgen

Jurgen — Sat, 11 Sep 2010 11:12:32 +0000

Thank you for this very well written guide, got it working perfectly!
Anyway i am wondering if it is possible to connect to the server without viscosity?
I am not really familiar with VPN’s and there are several options i can choose from when connecting to a VPN through the default OSX network preferences but i am not sure which one to use.
It works very well with viscosity though but i would love to know the logic behind using it instead of the default OSX vpn connection preference.

Thanks for the fix! I have had that nagging little message since I had a failure upgrading over a month ago, that subsequently was fixed through a manual upgrade. Love that it was such an easy fix.

Comment on Getting started with Android development using Eclipse by Peter Peerdeman

Peter Peerdeman — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 22:52:40 +0000

You should try enabling debugging mode on a physical android device, connecting it with usb and try running “adb logcat” again, it’s very interesting to see all the debug messages and activities on an actual running phone!

Also, you can debug applications on a real device if it is connected. Create a new android debugging profile and select “manual” in the target tab. You can now choose your connected Android device when you hit the debug button, omitting the emulator!

Comment on Start Subversion (SVN) automatically when Ubuntu server boots by Michiel

Michiel — Mon, 31 May 2010 11:17:42 +0000

Erm, SVN doesn’t have to be started automatically? At least not when you’re using the default methods (like http – which needs an httpd of course, svn+ssh and such; the latter I’m a fan off). It’s just files, no daemon involved

But anyway, svnserve might be useful indeed.

@Ben Better late than never: The command is "../vars" instead of ". ./vars". So there should be no space between the dots.

Comment on Practising pentatonic scales on guitar by Bas

Bas — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 22:10:51 +0000

Currently only playing Position 1 and practising the scale as shown in the video tutorial. I still need to figure out how to use the positions when playing in a key.

So if I let say play in key of C to know where to grap Position 1 for example.

Comment on Practising pentatonic scales on guitar by Peter

Wow nice research and practicing! Do you know all the pentatonic block positions on the neck yet? That will really help you rip out a shredding solo all the way over the neck I’m practicing the different scales now, maybe we’ll cover those next time, looking forward to it!

Lucky you! I could not get it to run in Vista. I though by installing Windows 7 I might have better luck. This is not the case, I’m on day two of trying to get this to work in Windows 7 so that I can do my homework and for the first time, it looks like I won’t be submitting an assignment this week! Lets see…. A Microsoft prodict that won’t run on a Microsoft OS….. what’s wrong with this picture?

@Bas
I see – it must be something in my exports file that needs me to reverse lookup. Thanks again for your time and tutorial. Before the VPN we were using Logmein on an XP box to then get on to our Linux NFS share to transfer files from our office to the workshop – grim.

Comment on OpenVPN on Ubuntu server for OSX clients tutorial by Bas

Bas — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 10:49:15 +0000

I did as far as I remember not modify my /etc/hosts because I always use the VPN ip address of my server, even when I am at home I still connect my VPN. So Viscosity always connects to my VPN ip which is 10.0.8.1

Comment on OpenVPN on Ubuntu server for OSX clients tutorial by vektor

vektor — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 09:03:38 +0000

@Bas

Thanks – worked it out now. I updated etc/exports and added the OpenVPN server IP to my share. Now I can cmd+k and mount the NFS share. The only small snag is that I *have* to use my mac etc/hosts file to map server IP to the serverHame. If I dont do this I get an unable to connect (username/password error). So every time I connect, I have to make sure I’ve got the right IP (either normal LAN or OVPN IP) in my hosts file. This was an issue before open vpn – I just never had to worry about updating etc/hosts.

Are you able to connect to your ubuntu box without mapping in etc/hosts?

Comment on OpenVPN on Ubuntu server for OSX clients tutorial by Bas

Bas — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 21:00:00 +0000

You should mount using the VPN ip. So something like 10.0.8.1 or something similar.

Nice howto – got OpenVPN working thanks to you! But what next? When I’m in my office I normally use cmd+k to mount my ubuntu NFS share. How do I mount that same share in finder over the VPN? am I missing something obvious?

Help much appreciated!
