SolDios Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 ok so first!One, do you like my Dj name, Sol Dios, no dj just sol dios its original! yayanyway, also Im looking to get the newmark mix track pro, but I cant seem to find any store in aus that sells it for under 400? but all that's different between the mixtrack pro and mix track is no mic or headphone inputs (and usb sound card)is there any way I can hook these things up to my laptop so they work with traktor or virtual dj?

eggssell Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 hi sol dios. so a tequila fan or an armored core fan.do an intro in intros as to what music you into, whats yer favourite colour and all that.in regards to the controllers dont really know much about them but a few people here do so just wait a bit.but googling it is $409 (not much more than $400) at store dj, and im sure they are a bit bing lee these days, everything is negotiable. i dont think ive ever paid full listed price, even just for cables...https://www.storedj.com.au/products/NUM-MIXTRACKPROalso it says it comes with vdj LE, so i would say yes you can get it to work traktor and vdj, it is likely just a MIDI controller Quote
SolDios Posted March 15, 2011 Author Posted March 15, 2011 wow thanks! ive seen some on ebay for 300 from the states :/ but im not sure about buying from over sea'soh and armored core fan :3 but I ment original as in for dj names Quote
eggssell Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 i buy heaps from overseas but have never bought dj equip so cant tell you what its like or point you in the right direction. if you wait long enuff one of the big 3 (store dj, dj warehouse, lights & sounds) will be on sale (if they aint already on sale check em). it doesnt go a month without a sale!

Cupe Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 but seriouslyi think this guy's legit, just youngamirite sol dios? Quote
SolDios Posted March 16, 2011 Author Posted March 16, 2011 mmhm 16, but being young doesent mean I dont have a eternal love for music! id die without it and as for sync, I like it, just because Im new to dj'ing, but honnesly what does it matter, as long as you and your crowd loves what your doing! thats the main rule of being a dj for me Quote

SolDios Posted March 16, 2011 Author Posted March 16, 2011 uhh, I think its a fair point man :S Quote
lloydc Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 uhh, I think its a fair point man :Ssorta, but you should really learn to beat match on cd players or turntables at some point down the track.besides, sync button is boring Quote
Gandy Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 welcome to the auto sync generation where anyone with a laptop can be a dj! Quote
awesome88 Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 give the guy a break, he is asking reasonable questions for what he knows, and how else can you learn?so what have you decided on doing mate? Have you seen anything you want to save towards? Quote
lloydc Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 i'd suggest saving toward the kontrol S4 or the denon 6000 controller.They cost more than double what you're looking to spend, but they are well worth it IMO cause you'll want to upgrade down the track anyway.An even stronger suggestion would be to try and pick up a few second hand CDJs and a mixer to play with, and learn that way.

You don't have to get pioneer. Try for denon or even reloop. I started off with reloop cd players and a mixer to learn beatmatching, and i think it was the best way. Learn the basics on cd players+mixer then decide if you want some cdj's or move to a controller.... but you need to learn the basics first.... which is hard when you are being tempted with a sync button and looking at waveforms.

lloydc Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 I went back to playing with CDJs the other day, cause I handn't done it in a whileI forgot how much fun it wassync = boring Quote
awesome88 Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 yea, when i first got my mc6000 i used the sync for a while... but same thing happened to me, i just felt like i might as well be pressing play on a cd player, so now i use it like any turntabe/cdj and mixer Quote
lloydc Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 it made me start to think about getting 900s or 2000s and using rekordbox.I hated burning cds, and traktor is a little on the robot side... kinda makes you feel a bit like a jukebox Quote
awesome88 Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 hmmm i still love the controller.... and the option of a sync button for when i'm fucked bahaha Quote
SolDios Posted March 17, 2011 Author Posted March 17, 2011 mmhm I know newmark is suspost to be shit, but I still really like the look of the newmark mixtrack pro but that would be upgrading from my audio-line all in one mixer. lots of people seem to hate on controllers, but they appeal to me, mainly because where I work (place that sells fried chicken, soz cant say name of it because of social networking agreement) pays $6 an hour :/ and it means you don't have to burn lots of cds, or keep constantly transferring things to a usb.If I had more money, Id probably get the Denon DNMC6000Oh and so far ive had 3 gigs at bday partys! they went really well and everyone had a great time!gandy, by the way, am a dj because I love music, not because its cool and not because of the moneythank you for sticking up for me by the way Quote
