CHANGE OF SET UP ?

[MisterMeaner]

Hey everyone i want some advice!. So i have just sold TSP and still am running 2 cdjs. Now i dont know what to do next?. I was thinking of purchasing Serato? Or i wanted to look at getting a midi controller ? what does everyone think ? Though i love cdjs because i love to scratch on them and flip tracks in ? does anyone do this with midi controllers? the disk is far to small so i wouldnt think anyone would bother, i may be wrong though

[Gandy]

if your decks are pioneers, look into rekordbox, its amazing ive jsut recently converted to it.

[chrismak]

Why would you sell TSP and buy serato?

If you like your cdj's then just stick with them. Midi controllers are good if you are a mobile DJ and want to keep your equipment light & compact.

What exactly do you want to achieve?

[LabRat]

Just burn a million CDs lol

[MisterMeaner]

well i got a regular thursday night gig and i hate lugging all my gig around such s hassel!!!!! but i also want to start mixn vnyl.

[MisterMeaner]

Gandy tell me more about this rekordbox ?

[MisterMeaner]

i dont have 900s or 1000s 2000s:(

pretty sure if you have 850's or 350's as well you can use recordbox to prepare USB sticks for sets as well.

What CDJ's do you have ?

you don't even need usb sticks, you can connect your lappy as well

Is that with timecode though? I thought only the 900's and 2000's had LAN connections for use with recordbox? And the other models you had to just use USB sticks or timecode discs with serato/traktor

[Jaz]

To my knowledge cdj850's and 350's can be used with record box via USB lead

the LAN connection your thinking of with the 900's and 2000's means you can LAN connect 2 players together so that you only need 1 Usb stick...eg, the leftdeck has the USB stick inserted, both the left and right deck take there music from that 1 Usb

[Mitch]

I was under the impression that the LAN cables went from the CDJs to a hub, then hook the computer into that hub?

I didn't know you could hook them together directly.

By the looks of the diagram in this page here, you can use one USB device in a CDJ and use lan to connect everything up to the DJM 2000, and they can all access that USB.

But I don't own one myself, just been looking on the net.

sorry, just realised you were talking about 350/850... you're right with the 900/2000s but not sure about the other two. I will look into it

[MisterMeaner]

i have 800 mk2 and 1000s mk3

[Mitch]

well in that case you could:

-buy serato and have a timecode setup similar to what you had.

-sell your CDJs, and get something such as the 900's and use them with recordbox.

-burn all your music to CDs

[OxyKon]

The 900's and 2000's are an awesome setup to have, the 900's are cheaper with a few less functions but practically do the same thing, I've got the 2000's but haven't used the recordbox, I've heard great things about it, if ur wanting to start playin vinyl u have to deside if u get serato or deside to start forkin out the money on 12", serato would e the cheaper option their, specially if u don't like lugging gear around

[tommykesh]

Serato pretty good alot of scratch dj's breaking into digital rave about it.

But I have had a few glitches when using it on cdjs, nothing that re inserting the cd dident fix.

ez mate, I know this thread has followed the path of cdjs but if you are still considering a controller chk this:

have you seen this thread about the NUMARK NS6 controller?

http://www.ausdjforums.com/modules.php? ... pic&t=6280

I have one of these and am well happy with it.

MY history so you know I'm no child: Started in vinyl 1989, moved to cdjs 1997, added traktor to CDJs 2004. Gigged clubs, bars, functions and on tour with live bands... beatmatching and always done cuts as well as basic transforms/juggles but am not turntablist. Was waiting for a lightweight controller to be invented for years so I could reduce weight of kit but not alter style of djing.

watch the vid by cerla:

So Cerlas vid is great but just so you know you dont have to be superhuman to work a NS6 here's the draft so far for my entry in capfives comp. There's some scruffy mixes and some real dodgy bits (especially the intro, it's only a draft) but hopefully you'll get the idea of how the NS6 works on four decks and how it sounds.

Jim adjf comp 3 by more foolish

and here's a short vid I did when I first got it. again it's scruffy but you can see exactly what's going on.

it's a srs option mate.
