Hey guys! It’s been a very long time since I last posted here and my long awaited new mix has been uploaded to Soundcloud for you guys to have a listen to. Its 49 minutes long and contains 25 Electro & Prog House tracks that I love. I’d love for you all to have a listen and let me know what you think. Here’s the link –> https://soundcloud.com/djgeez3r/rocknrolla Thanks Guys. GEEZ3R

Thanks for the advice guys, appreciate the time taken to give me tips.

Hey guys, I have 2 CDJ 2000 nexus and I'm looking to add a mixer and I'm not sure if I need to get one of the nexus series (900 or 2000) or not. This would mainly be for a home setup and I may end up taking the gear to gigs down the track but my aim would be to eventually play in clubs. So I was looking for some opinions on what I should get. If my main aim is to play clubs should I splurge for a 900 nexus so that I'd essentially have a club setup at home to practise on? Or am I better off getting one of the cheaper options to learn on that wouldn't be too big a jump from the 900 nexus? Thanks guys.

Hey Mitch, I found the answer and yes there is a syncing capacity from the RekordBox app to your main Rekordbox collection, I found the steps on a Music Radar post. The steps are: 1. Make sure both your computer and the device are on the same network. 2. Click the Devices button and click the WiFi button in the bottom left and select OK on both the desktop and mobile device to activate the connection. 3. Right-click on the device and select Update Collection. This will transfer any changes made on the mobile device to your main collection. I'm gonna try it tonight. Cheers.

Cheers man. [THUMBS UP SIGN]

Sorry mate I only just bought them last week and haven't had the chance to play with them. Had a Traktor Kontrol S2 before that so this is a big step up for me.

So are the cue bank slots really just used to scroll thru the song but not really used like a hot cue? And the hot cues are used to fire off mid track to change how a track sounds but obviously used sparingly due to the limited amount (3) to set? Is that right?

Hi Alex, Thanks for your reply, I just got some CDJ 2000 nexus that I plan to use with Rekordbox. When I read about the 10 memory banks it sounded like those slots couldn't be fired off while the track was already playing, that's why I thought they'd be no use for me since I would need to be able to use them mid track. Or am I way off in my understanding there?

Hi Guys, I've been struggling to come up with a practical guide for assigning cue points for use with Rekordbox for preparing tracks to play with CDJ's. I come from a Traktor background where we have the luxury of up to 8 cue points to use, this gave me many options with my tracks and while there never was a need to use all 8 cue points it meant I could essentially remix a track on the fly by hitting each cue point. Over time I reduced the cue points down to 4 for a track breaking them down to the following: 1. Preset by Traktor to land on the 1st downbeat (there were times where Traktor would stuff this up but probably once every 100 tracks); 2. Point to mark where the mix in to the track would be complete (when mixing I would normally loop the 8 bars previous to this cue point and gradually bring the track in until the track hit the cue point at which the transition would be complete); 3. Point to mark the breakdown to either mix out or just a visual guide to show me when the breakdown was coming; 4. Point to mark where the mix out of the track would begin. Now that I am slave to Pioneer I only have 3 cue points to set and so I am a little stuck as to how I now set my cue points with a system for to use for each track. I believe that there is a natural cue point set at the beginning of the song so there would be no need for me to burn one of the 3 available cue points, am I right in this assumption? If correct it would mean that I could essentially use the same method I did with Traktor, it would simply be a matter of: Traktor Cue Point 1 = "Natural Cue Point set in Rekordbox" Traktor Cue Point 2 = Rekordbox Cue Point 1 Traktor Cue Point 3 = Rekordbox Cue Point 2 Traktor Cue Point 4 = Rekordbox Cue Point 3 Also, since I am in the process "rebuilding" my music library I have a blank canvas for setting these cue points and would love to know what you guys do with your cue points and if you follow a similar grading like I do? If there is a better method I would love to use it. Thanks guys I look forward to seeing your methods. Cheers, GEEZ3R.

Thanks mate, appreciate your help

Absolutely awesome post, I'm running with your setup on my mac now and couldn't be happier!

Hi Guys, Stupid question time, I come from a Traktor background where I used the Traktor DJ app to set all my cue points which would then use my dropbox account and sync all the changes back to Traktor on my mac. This was freakin awesome as it meant that I could prepare my tracks while sitting on my fat arse watching TV. I've now joined the dark side and have CDJ's and I've set up Rekordbox, now I need to know if Rekordbox offers me the same prep/sync functionality. If I prepare tracks on the iPad app with cue points etc will those changes be "sync'd" back to my Mac when I connect my iPad back up again? Or am I resigned to the fact that I will need to prepare all my tracks on my Mac and all that the iPad app does is give me the ability to play tracks on CDJ's from my iPad when connected via WIFI? Cheers.

Hey guys, I've uploaded a stack of my mixes to Soundcould and added the ADJF tags. One of my personal favourites is "Heisenberg", its a 60 minute firecracker of Electro and Prog madness. I'd love for you to have a listen and tell me what you think. Here's the link --> https://soundcloud.com/jpthegeezer/heisenberg As always any feedback is welcome, merry xmas ya'll. Respect, DJ_GEEZ3R

I added tags for ADJF and ausdjforums

Just started following on Soundcloud, I'll be tagging all my future uploads.

Yeah you're dead right, that was emotion talking. I've edited the post and remove the reference.

Thanks man, I'm gonna make this ar$ehole suffer, I've reported him to every internet authority going and the Malaysian cops want me to fill in a report and they'll nab him.

Wow thanks man really appreciate that!!!

Any time mate, I've been burnt big time and I've definitely learnt my lesson. Anything that sounds too good to be true and has the slightest ting of fish smell means that it's off in a big way. From now on my hard earned dollars are staying in this country supporting LEGITIMATE australian businesses in this industry.

Hey guys, I just wanted to share my most recent mix with the gurus and pros in this forum. I'd love to hear what you think of this 41 minute mix: https://soundcloud.com/jpthegeezer/eargasm-episode-2-27th-of

Hi, I'm looking to buy a set of 2 x Pioneer CDJ 2000 Nexus and 1 x Pioneer DJM 900 Nexus, new or used in the Sydney area. Happy to buy single units off different sellers to make up my own package. Please PM me so we can meet up and discuss a sale. No scammers!!!

I've got one, Equipment One Store in Malaysia. This dodgy f%#kwit has it all, customer reference in Australia using some way of diverting an australian phone number to overseas to fool you into thinking gear has actually landed in the country. They even have a fake freight company website to make you think your order is in transit and then they hit you with customs clearance fees, demorage costs, "DHL" costs the lot all through Western Union. I even had someone contact me who told me they were from an authority who were gonna arrest these people and wanted me to set them up with a payment and they took off with the payment instead. This bunch of scumbags have extracted a small fortune from me and I'm in the process of contacting the cops in Malaysia. Here's their details: The company details are as follows: Name: Johan Carlsson Company: Equipment One Store Address: Lot 6/7 Jalan Perpaduan Kampung , Puchong, Selangor, 4712, Malaysia. Website & IP: http://compatic.miiduu.com/ - IP Address 54.236.174.15 http://airaidlog.com - IP Address 185.28.21.36 Email Address: mc.djocky@outlook.com Phone Number/s: +60143649071 – Johan’s direct phone number. +601116677714 – Management Phone Number. Shipment Tracking No: 1381393273 - http://airaidlog.com/track.php DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM MALAYSIA, THESE GUYS ARE F$%KHOLES WHO WOULD STEAL FROM THEIR OWN MOTHER.

Plastic Funk - Need Somebody (Original Mix) 2. Carli - The Weekender (Original Mix) 3. Gee & T - Shake It All Night Long (Chardy Remix) 4. Ian Prada, Gregoir Cruz - Got It! feat. Gideon (Extended) 5.

Hi Guys, I recorded a 48 minute mix of electro house coming in at 128BMs and consisting of current tracks. I'm only really a newbie, I started in March this year but I'd love to hear your feedback as I want to keep improving. Track listing is on the MixCloud page: Thanks Guys & Gals, Geezer
