fink - pretty little thing

most mixers have effects anywho. i have never used traktor effects and its been about 2.5 half years. my mixer has echo, flanger, and high/low level passes which is more than enough for me. look in buy and sell for stuff. dflux was selling a mixer crundyy was maybe selling turnies... skank was maybe selling an SL1 (though it may have been in a pack only) also the audio 2/4/6/8/10 are the soundcards. i assume there are a few audio 8's around so dont worry about them being discontinued. i know someone in the gong who just packed his away and doesnt really like it

pfffft. and from someone who knocks controller dj's. you trying to break the chain of command! get back in line mate. : teef : disclaimer: no i dont really believe people who use turnies are better than people who use cdj's but i also dont believe people who use cdj's should speak down on people who use controllers

for now nek minute new thread, same debate nah nek nek nek nek nek minute same debate first we will need one on sync; then serato vs traktor; then apple vs pc; then cd vs vinyl; then sega vs nintendo; and then hd25 vs everything else again

but isnt 2 turntables the norm? for convenience sake ?! and what if im scratching and wanting to play a normal track at the same time... ? ill need 2 wont i ? and yeah, well, i cant do any of that stuff yet, because i don't know any of it, being a beginner i think i can handle the serato/traktor with turntables, learning the basics, - scratching, beat juggling, mixing in general. i reckon once i become proficient at that, ill move onto midi stuff. 2 turntables and a microphone.. haha yeah two turntables is the norm but as wazza pooints out due to the technology is not needed. i was down at the golden monkey in melbourne (live band and dj on thursday nights! check it people) and the dj there was using one 1200 and serato. what happens is once you have transitioned to the track you want you clone it onto the other deck and then specify the turntable as a new deck. then you load the next song (or some scratch samples) and then do the next transition. once done clone, and then repeat. having said this though, the reason why i learnt to use traktor without using any features is because i play at mates houses where it is straight vinyl.

oh and yes i have used both traktor scratch and serato. but keep in mind i only use my dvs as a carriage device to replace my records. so literally i search for the song i want, then hit ctrl+left or ctrl+right depending on which deck im using, and then i just mix as i normally would. so for me there is no difference in either (except looking for songs in traktor is easier than serato but i guess you get use to it). in fact when i first bought my intention was to get serato, but at the time djw had overstocked tsp so were selling at an awesome value (or so i thought but nek minit that became the rrp. fuuuuuuuuu ) i havent looked in a minute but back then tsp had a lot more features than serato. it is probably the same now even though serato has boosted its features since then. but the truth is you need to ask yourself whether you will actually use any of these features.

hey mate sorry didnt get around to getting back to you. anyways, the soundcards are external so no need to install into laptop. i use a standard mixer (reloop iq2). the certified mixers i spoke about have built in soundcards (both traktor and serato mixers are available). in regards to turnies the main thing to look for is direct drive. the amount of torque (ability of the turntable platter to reach speed from stop) is arguably also something to think about. but considering that tech 1200's which everyone gets a hard on over have less torque than your other OEM models, yet it didnt seem to bother the industry for many years, then i dont think it is as big an issue as people say. the OEM models as they have come to be known were all based on the 1200 and all come out of the same factory and are very similar to each other. so this includes st150's, some american audio ones, (search OEM in the forum i am sure the list will pop up) and sol is correct in saying you will really have to think about whether you will mix on four turntables, unless you going back to back with someone. HOWEVER keep in mind if you have a three to four mixer channel and want to bring in a controller to drop samples while also having the two decks, then more than two inputs would be desired.

just driving mate. when i get home ill respond proper

oh sol y u always say same thing why would it be what he would be using. if he has learnt on turnies, and the club has turnies, why would he use a cdj? huh..... and traktor works okay on my pc? yes i havent upgraded to 2.5 so cant vouch for it. but i think traktor has bugs regardless

oops yeah you do need soemthing else a sound card.cupes link above wil give you info for traktor scratch, which basically needs one of their soundcards (audio 4, audio 6, audio 8 or audio 10) or a certified mixer which has a built in sound card. and for serato you need a rane sl1, or rane sl3 soundcard, or one of the rane mixers with a built in soundcard and yip traktor scratch and serato work on cdjs. there are other dvs's: mixvibes, torq, reloop have one, and virtual dj also works as well i think. i believe some of these don't lock you into a proprietary soundcard, and you can use any sound card

haha did a quick wiki and realised i is dumb

EDIT: i am dumbass

while "digital dj" is subjective, i think the current slang is anyone who requires a computer to DJ. i have many a friend who had at one time referred to djs who use toys (cdj's) as digital dj's, as the CD was in fact going to a digital age. anyways, so either those that use controllers or just straight laptop and software or a digital vinyl system (see below) could be referred to as going digital. the latter of these, shortened to DVS, means they still use decks im not as techy as mr wazza or tubby or source; but in lay terms MIDI is just a form of communication between devices. a midi controller will send signals to your computer, and the software will interpret these as commands. you could actually configure any software to be controlled by any MIDI devices. its just about the ease at which you do this otay, so first up note there is traktor and then there is traktor scratch. what you are referring to is traktor scratch. tracktor scratch and serato are digital vinyl systems i.e. DVS. they are a software which will read timecode vinyl or cds. and yes this vinyl is "special". it basically has time clicks. the software will then play your digital music intime with the rotation of the vinyl (it does this by reading the clicks). so if you stop the vinyl, the track will stop. if you spin it back it will spin back etc. both tsp and serato also have other features but i wont blow your brain yes. again you can use timecode cd's just as above with tsp or serato. and there is another method HID. i dont know enuff about cdj's as only used twice but sure the others will help i dont know enuff about ableton, but yeah you can definitely make music using ableton.

cool, ill check when i get out of the great wall at work. hey chris don't forget to let us all know if anything releases. i did search beatport on my last haul and there was nothing i hadn't already purchased.

been a while knock on wood. But safari on iphone and ipad. But has not happened for at least a month. Ill keep this thread in mind if it happens again

rewind selecta! big in reggae, dancehall, and dub or maybe this oh wait that was replay, not rewind

hey tubbs. there def was a software only download option during the half price sale. but looks like all thats left is this software with timecodes pack$119USD http://www.native-instruments.com/#/en/ ... &page=2850 and yeah it says works with older interfaces

oh i just found my whinge fred it was from juno. viewtopic.php?f=43&t=5898&hilit=ohwl and yeah it said 10 days but dont worry till more than 28 days. i think it ended up taking about 20 it was this limited wax

i actually own that hoodie. copped off think-geek. most comfortable hoodie i own, material was tops! EDIT: eyes look smaller in this pic though and closer to mouth but essentially same design.

not sure if serial? they use to have a frogger machine in one corner and it was free well pretty sure it was frogger, maybe galaga but that would have been on a flatbed edit: though that was probably way back when you were in pre-school

do they still have frogger at 77?

you the mann cupe!

defkon, your man prob also sources from overseas rather than holding stock, at least for the most part. which may cause the delay. yeah most of my vinyl purchases are in person, only one was chev's (cairo) release i ordered from overseas. that one did take a while, can't remember how long but it was five days longer than their estimated (im sure i had a little whinge about it). for the life of me i cant remember if i bought from juno or a distributor.. but pretty sure it was UK based
