Sound Systems Discussion, please read first post

[gt4tified]

I know! But its a topic which includes Dj Systems and Pro Audio, so ppl in this topic can see *euipment 4 sale* in the same field of interest which they are in!

We had agreed earlier on to not clutter the thread with FS stuff because we wanted to keep it as a discussion. I am sure we all have stuff to sell, and if each of us posts what we have and all we do is keep bumping, then the jist of the thread will lose its focus.

That said, it would be appreciated if you would kindly remove your FS post.

I have too many ongoing projects that need funding and I would like to supplement my income with some gigs. Does anyone know of any semi-upscale to upscale clubs/sports bars that require the services of a good DJ versed in all types of music? Gig must be weekends only though...my day job is quite demanding during the week.

I’d rather just a gig where I can walk with my hard drive or laptop and play on the house system but if need be, I can walk with my own players and digital interface.

If you guys know anywhere hit me a pm please? Thanks!

anyone ever used Eminence loud speakers in there dj sets, wat was the outcome...

[Kasey]

I used eminence 12" Kappas in my monitors for a while. Sounded great. Also used the Kilomax 15" in some JBL single 15 scoops and was very pleased with the results. That was some time ago.

IMHO Eminence is a great brand thats affordable.

what is the best 15" powered monitor i can get for $3000
behringer. gemini. mr dj ?
and where

[pugboy]

how many "dj's" here can actually beat mix etc ?

it appears that most dj's nowadays only good at sliding mixer side to side
in one quick motion

[SmokeyGTi]

^^ I learnt to mix on 1200's. then the old school gemini, denon and numark cd machines..

I still have a cortex dmix 600 home that uses mp3's but has no sync function so you still have to beatmatch. It does not give bpm readings either. I still use it from time to time for that old school mixing feel.

it's a shame that a LOT of people who call themselves DJ's only know how to mix when they have a sync button with their software - without it they can't do squat.

[DJ Q]

^When I was younger I always wanted to learn to mix with records or on those numark CD machines... but no one would let me touch their stuff

Eventually learned to sync using the original PCDJ Silver.

I once played in a party with literally two CD players. No Pitch Shift. No Hot Cue.

Play, Pause, Stop. Luckily I had a crossfader.
I just think Virtual DJ makes life so much easier, especially since the demand for a DJ that scratches and puts on a real show is really low.

I'd love to eventually use some Technics....

i guess u saw my ad ? - viewtopic.php?f=11&t=413105

my advice is to load up some songs on a flashdrive & go to each seller for a demo

i will gladly demo my Mr. DJ box for u in my store ....

[Samo]

I use VDj....with Hercules rmx, most times i dont use the sync...even if the program sets the pitch for u, stilll i adjust it. Habit i guess.
Serato with 800's, well normal beatmatch..no sync button there..

I remember doing parties with two discman...the trick was to know upfront what songs would mix. (besides dancehall within the same riddim of course)

[DJ Q]

Anybody have Technics and don't mind me passin through

Also learnt on 1200’s. My first pair of tables was a Numark DD50IV or something so....not bad beginner tables. Eventually I bought myself a pair of 1200MKII’s and put them away in a nice numark coffin. My first dual CD player was a Denon DN2000F and I’ve been pretty loyal to the Denon brand ever since.

The Pioneers are nice in their own way, but I’m quite happy with my DNS5000’s. What I need to invest in is a good Mixer, perhaps the DNX400 or DNX800....would have preferred something smaller like the DNX120 but more loaded. Looking also into Vestax, Stanton and American Audio options.

[ruffneck_12]

DJ equipment just so damn expensive

I really wanna learn to scratch like this ( start at 2:36)

if its within your budget, check out the A&H Xone22 or the ttm56 or 56S

[SmokeyGTi]

a big part of me does want to learn how to scratch like that but as cool as it sounds for the majority of gigs that i normally do its not required so...

i have a old Nikko with a slip mat on it...i should bring out some old school dancehall 45's and try meh hand!

[DJ Q]

Here's what I want to know:

Is this possible to do live?


I know it's a game but I want to know if it can be done.

I don't think so because they had an unusually HIGH number of samples.
And also they stop the beat to scratch a portion and somehow when they "press play" it magically continues from where it should be.

In addition to that you juggling two acapellas and two instrumentals!

Can anyone do it??

[ruffneck_12]

^

you can have just the beat on one deck and the other deck with random vocal samples to scratch with

might have to prepare some stuff before hand doh

[Kasey]

of course it can be done. ALOT of practice + proper preparation.

[DJ Q]

^Nah it's not like that.
You can have the beat loaded as a sample and scratch with the two channels too.

But in this case they scratching EVERYTHING.

I'm a complete noob so there might be something out there that I don't know about... jsut wondering if the remixes in that game possible to do live.

Wouldn't mind learning some of them

Hey Samo, i'm thinking of purchasing Hercules RMX, is it any good? And can you pull songs from your Serato Playlist with it?

[SmokeyGTi]

^^it'll work fine.

as to your other question, the hercules comes with VDJ.
i'm not sure what format serato saves the playlist. if it's a pls or m3u file i believe VDJ will open it.
