tried traktor before. thanks anyways

well, DJ is cool, i think of learn it some day; on last few post someone mention it was RM1500 alredy can get whole basic equipment.
i kinda confuse wif the dj equipment, sometime got keyboard, electronic-drumset, lotsa speaker and amps. Anyone can give some advice on what to buy and where to buy for a DJ beginner ?

def_lok,

If you want to sell your items, please do so at the Trade Zone Forum.

Thank you.

DJ beginner? 2 turntables and a mixer.
That's the basic. Read the previous post on what you should get.

Drum looping machines, Samplers, Keyboards (or controllers) are more for the "musician" DJ.... ie. creating their own songs via digital instruments.

Stop watching those Linkin Park videos and start watching DJ Jazzy Jeff!

what is "final scratch" ?
btw, i saw ur last few post, u got ur turntable alredy ?

FinalScratch® is the ultimate way for DJs to combine today's digital technology with the analog control of the past. By using FinalScratch with your existing turntables or CD player and mixer, you can control and manipulate digital audio files (WAV, MP3, etc.) the same way you always have-using your hands to cue, mix and scratch with the exact response and feel of real vinyl.

same here

Actually, I'm using the Numark Battle Pack!!!
Like I said, bought it for RM1500!!!

Final Scratch is a great tool if you want to save on your record collection, but I strongly suggest getting a How-To DJ book that comes with 2 vinyls to practise.

If not, go to a record shop (there's a couple behind Bukit Bintang, behind Lot 10) and get a "Breaks" Vinyl and ask if they have any vinyl's with special FX or speeches.... you really have to ask around. It's going to set you back about RM80 bucks a Vinyl, so be prepared to spend cash.

Another option besides the Final Scratch is the PCDJ scratch. All it comes with is the software and 2 special vinyls. The rest, you have to use a PC soundcard that has 2 input/output or use 2 sound cards. For example, use the built in soundcard on your motherboard + a PCI Soundblaster card. The PCDJ Scratch will set you back about 1500, compared to the Final Scratch that costs 2500. But I find Final Scratch more repliable, stable and also it comes with the ScratchAmp, which means you just hook it up via Firewire or USB2.0. No soundcard configurations whatsoever.

u sure can get it with 1500?
where u buy?

Bought it from Sinamax

Ok.... you need to disc so you can continuously play your music throughout your set. Like I said, for club DJs, one disc will be playing while the other disc is being cued up. When the DJ manages to match the beats of both songs (By listening through the headphones on the Cued disc, which of course must be muted through the main output), the DJ uses the crossfader on the mixer to "fade" between the two songs, creating an almost seemless music track. The DJ then replaces the disc that WAS playing with another Cued disc and repeats the process.

A Hip-Hop DJ might work in a couple of ways. IF they are using 2 of the same disc, they would again play and cue one. They will usually cue a solo or space between which is what we call a "break". Normally, I like to cue up drum breaks during a song. Sometimes it lasts only a few seconds, so what you do is you cue up the exact same place on the other disc and quickly switch to the other track, rewind the FIRST disc back to the start, crossfade BACK to the first, rewind the SECOND disc back, crossfade again..... you get what I mean??

And of course, there's the scratching method. What I'll do, is I'll play a beat (can be a full song or just part of it) and I'll cue up a Sound FX track, maybe a line of dialog or a certain note and will manipulate the disc to keep repeating the track over and over again; ie. scratching. The crossfader is used to cut out the "backscratch" sound (The reveral sound the vinyl makes when you pull the record back), so it sounds like a quick cut of that sound FX.

Will post up a sample next day of some simple scratch techniques.

the vinly disc rm80 per pc quite expensive, how many vinly does a dj needs ? i saw some video they usually collect many of them. btw where is sinamax ?
nice info up there (although i not very understand hows it work), keep the good work up !

The very FANCY shopping mall. The one where only really rich people shop.... because it has like Dunhill, Prada, Louis Vuton and all that designer crap. Technically, turntables are expensive too!!! So feel lucky to be part of it!
