i disagree.. u can easily mix without all those 'theory' if u have the ear for it, just like when i took up drums 10 years back, i found that practising it is much much more better than going to the class and getting the 'theory'... music comes from the soul bebeh hehe
eh bang.. his daughter only 3 years old la .... apa "ear" she has?

speed - haha its funny how u took my sarcasm seriously when there's a tongue.gif in the sentence.. do u see any other turntable in that video? i had to make do of what's available.. when there's no BMW around u gotta settle for a Proton rite? hehehe.. no seriously, i have nothing against cdj, i think its a wise choice especially for us with no access to vinyls.. but i still prefer the black disc (and im not talking about black cds hehe)

choong - same thing man, u gotta admit djing in general is pretty easy to catch on, there's no 'right' way of mixing and there is no 'notes' to talk about, u dont read those 'taugeys' to mix, do u? and tt isnt actually an instrument, is it? hehe and bar-counting and so on, from my experience and a lot of my other friends, its just a matter of  whether u are familiar with a certain genre, and after a while u kinda get the feel of when the track is coming to a chorus eg.. all tracks have pretty much the same structure.. same goes with 'keys', alot of top djs talks about 'key mixing', they dont actually analyse each and every tracks before mixing, with experience u can 'feel' which track suits better with the other.. as i said before, mixing is all about practice..

just my 2 cents worth which will be rounded up to 0 cent supaya jimat dan senang kira hehe
*
i rest my case la west... i doubt at the age of 3 years .. then can't differentiate those things ..

if possible can make it on a saturday ar?
depending on the availability of the gear at the 'chicken out out mouth' boy (what is his name ar?, takkan i call you guys by forum name meh?) i shall see if i should bring some stuff. so how many pair of decks are there? and how many ppl going?

so how do you guys go about your jamming session?
*
this will be a casual meet up ... everyone can play around with the CDJ and the turntables
no allocation of "TIME" for set etc
if u feel like spinning ... just spin .. but also let others some time to play with the gear
it's not a jamming session to prove who is better than who
it's like a ice breaking .. get to know each other thing ... and knowing gears..
so don't be so formal ..

however attendance should be informed .... we do not want to overcrowd the place and risk any theft by unknown "friends"
so yea..

hey Choong! finally i'm able to run virtual dj thru timecoded cd! yeah!
itu pun after few times reformat, install, reformat balik...almost takes me two days to settle the problem

now that i can use timecode cd, but why no sound come out from the mixer output oh?
how to set it up again?
*
is there any audio going into your mixer?
is those lights on your mixer moving?? if yes .. you might want to check your output mixer.. make sure it's plug into the right thing
if .. the lights is not moving .. means no input at all

no..
also no..no lights...

how to set input? coz all my input from cdj to maya, then to mixer.... tongue.gif

sorry i'm total noob doh.gif
*
without using the T/C ... can u play the song on the software player "without" the controller on your computer?
and if you don't see any light movement on your mixer ...means there is totally no input into your mixer ...

you might want to see this video ,
to get some idea


make sure your setup up is for "LINE" ... untick/un-set anything to do with "phono" which are used for turntable

so mixvibes is a vinyl cd emulation softwatre like the serato that plays timecodes which directs mp3 from the computer?
and the maya44usb is a soundcard much like the serato boc or the fs2 from stanton?
ic now....


Added on May 25, 2008, 1:43 pmhow much is the software ?
*
mixvibes is just like Serato
the different is ... serato = fixed price .... mixvibes ... the price is actually depending on your hardware(soundcard)
software probably about 200-300USD only but the soundcard will be the one to determine the final price
if you want a very good setup , then it's easily will cost more than serato but mixvibes is able to support up to 4 turntables in one notebook ..which serato can't..
mixvibes is always improving and updates are all free ...

maya44usb is just one of the lowest end ... (*beside built in Soundcard*) which works well with Mixvibes.

mixvibes is not a VINYL CD emulation software(*does not only apply to CD*) .. but it's more commonly know as DVS = Digital Vinyl System ..
all Rane Serato , Mixvibes , Final Scratch, Torq are categorize as DVS ...

there are pro an cons
serato = industry standard..easily setup... compatible with windows/mac OS .. expensive
mixvibes = upcoming big thing,can support 4 turntables, free updates, can be tricky setting up your hardware to work with mixvibes software ..(*driver issues/OS issues*)
FS/ ToRq = nothing much to comment.. don't know much about them ...


so yea ..

a good dj will have backup plans ... so even if they crash .. they will have a 2nd plan to make it up ..
mixvibes has an issue because it cannot be customise to use only one soundcard .. ..

the driver issue is because certain drivers work best for certain software... an upgrade to the driver might messed up the compatibility... just like graphic cards... if you update the driver, it might mess up your game ..

so give and take ....if you going to use a DVS system , make sure your laptop is only use for that .. you can't be using it as your daily laptop for your internet/movie/software etc and also your DVS system together in one .. because eventually it will crash on you ...

so u need a "dedicated" laptop for your DVS to reduce chance of it crashing ..

as far i am concern ... mixvibes so far .. never really crashed on me when i'm playing on it ... except when i tried to scratch video ...due to the compression and also codec .. it crash my whole computer.. instead of software..

ah that video, i thought i've seen them before....but only teaches me how to set up timecode vinyl to soundcard & mixvibes...

i dont catch up the part of music input to mixer...only into the software.
*
i can't remember i showed you or westokan ...
anyway .. just "replace" vinyl = with your CD T/C .... Phono settings to Line Settings ...
does your maya has a "phono/line" switch???

when you play your CD T/C ... does it emit a loud high pitch sound?
if you can use the mixvibes software to play the song (*"without t/c control") , then there probably no problem with your setup but the T/c ...
it's hard to explain in words .. i don't know how to tell you clearly in words ..

boleh pakai build in meh? i got 7.1 in my desktop, will that work?
*
even though it's 7.1 but it's still single output ..
minimum is 4-in 4-out .... unless u have two soundcard ....
another option is to buy a cheapo USB soundcard..
then you can use USB soundcard + built-in sound card...

most motherboards has their built in .. you can also add a cheapo PCI soundcard ...
