Hey there beautiful people,

I'm a novice music producer falling in love with the dreamy, introspective sound of Giegling more and more every day.

I was wondering if there are any good tutorials or breakdowns that capture this sound. I'm finding it surprisingly difficult to search for, because there doesn't seem to be a clear genre name. Depending on who you ask, it's described differently, and searching by individual artists hasn't been very successful either.

Some of my favorite tracks:

Map.Ache – Seis

Dwig – Orange Evening

Leafar Legov – Cenote

Traumprinz – Padallaxis

L.B. Honne – a Means a

Traumprinz – aaAngel for M (this one is so special)

I'd really appreciate any tutorials, production tips, or even genre names that point me in the right direction.

I’ve been collecting music for years through recommendations, DJ tracklists, Soulseek and various rabbit holes.

The thing is: I barely know most of these tracks.

Recently I went through roughly 3000 tracks and quickly filtered them down to about 600. I only kept tracks that gave me an immediate positive reaction and that I could realistically imagine playing at a future party.

The catch is that I still haven’t properly listened to most of those 600 tracks either. I probably know less than 5% of them well.

I’m also fairly new to DJing. Up until now I’ve been much more of a collector than an actual DJ. I’m only now trying to seriously build a library and learn my music.

My goal isn’t to have thousands of tracks. I’d rather have a smaller, curated collection where every track earns its place.

Part of me is wondering if I should almost start from zero.

Even 600 tracks feels overwhelming when I barely know them. On top of that, I still need to listen to them properly, tag them, organize them by energy, genre, color, vibe, etc.

I’m worried I’ve simply reduced a large pile of unknown tracks into a smaller pile of unknown tracks.

Would you continue working with the 600, or would you start a fresh library and only add tracks after you’ve properly listened to and vetted them?

If you were in my position, what would you do next?

• Keep reducing the 600 further?
• Stop deleting and start listening?
• Build playlists/crates?
• Rate/tag everything?
• Learn tracks through mixing?
• Start from scratch?

How would you turn 600 mostly unknown tracks into a library you actually know and trust?

Hi everyone,

I’m currently at home recovering from burnout, so returning these items to an IKEA store isn’t really an option for me right now.

I noticed IKEA offers a pickup return service, but it looks like I would need to create a separate return request for each order, which would mean paying the collection fee multiple times.

I have several larger items that need to be returned from the same address at the same time, so I was wondering if anyone has experience with IKEA combining multiple returns into a single pickup and charging only one collection fee.

I also have one item that is assembled and in like-new condition, but I no longer have the original packaging. Has anyone successfully returned an assembled IKEA item without the original box?

I’m mainly looking for real-world experiences before I contact customer service.

Thanks!

Does anyone know of a Garmin app/widget for the Vivoactive 6 that can endlessly alternate between different timer intervals throughout the entire day?

What I specifically want is:

• a 45 minute timer
• vibration at the end
• automatically switches to a different 15 minute timer by itself
• vibration at the end
• automatically switches back to the 45 minute timer
• keeps alternating between those two intervals forever until I manually stop it

So I do NOT want to manually restart or interact with the timer every cycle. I want it to continue automatically and only vibrate at the transitions.

Ideally it:

• runs quietly in the background
• works continuously all day
• doesn’t constantly keep the timer screen open
• is simple/lightweight

I’m using it for pacing/energy management rather than workouts or HIIT.

I already searched the Connect IQ store, but there’s so much there that I’m struggling to figure out what actually supports this.

Any recommendations?

I have MDD Snake on to sequence some stuff. But it keeps clogging/changing even though I have it turned off right now. It says "Change in MDD___Snake" in the edit history.

This makes it impossible to cmd-z and get revert stuff. Anyone got a clue how to work around this?
