hi all, wanna ask you guys if you know about DK Academy and do anyone know where it is or any contact info... I had the website once, but now for some reason I can't locate it any longer. It'd be great if any of you can help me out, thx!

hmm, I want to get some hands-on lesson with Djing ; I'm an animator and I really want to include Djing and making my own tunes for my portfolio in the future so let's say I want to learn but I don't want to spend 3k+/- on gears yet since I'm still totally new to this, where would you guys recommend... preferably somewhere near Sunway.

I tried a few sources already, but they are either quite far or just not free..

much appreciation

yea, I know about this guy as well ; thx for sharing, let's say if I'm taking the self-taught approach here ; what gear would you advice I get as a beginner? thx

yea, Im currently learning how to use Cubase. Mind telling me what you do with your whole gear ? Aside from performing, isn't it sound manipulation you guys are messing with?

thx

I love sound manipulation a lot too, so do you think I should get a decent gear to start with? or attend lessons?

I want to make this a side hobby as well, mixing music

this is why I would wanna get some hands-on 1st, spending 5k as a beginner 1-shot doesn't make sense to me.

thx for the info aights! Appreciate it!

cool, mind sharing some of your tunes? Interested in the genre you mix out.

heyo guys, eversince I've asked for advice from here I've already started my DJ courses with a fellow DJ ; and I'm being trained using CDJs 1st, is this alrite?

I was thinking I should know the basics of the old school way of spinning before the CDs... What you guys think?

And let's say I went to Singapore, where is the best place to get gear?

thx

heyo guys, I'm going to ask another question that is quite a noobish Q...

but it has struck me that CDJs are a more savvy deal in the long run, CDs are everywhere... but I'm very interested in turntablism. So should I get just 1 turntable, and 1 mixer ; just to train on scratching.

I heard from my DJ friend records are $$$$pricey and hard to get locally, not impossible... so what you guys think?

thanks in advance

cool, going to read up more on it now ; thx mate

hey, hey, quick Q.

I'm seriously considering getting just 1 TT and mixer for scratching practise only, since I'm still practicing on CDJs at the moment ; where can I find a decent priced 2nd hand Technics or any that you guys would recommend for scratching abuse?

I'm open to all suggestions, bear in mind I'm a student with limited funds as well. So can't go tooo far overboard with cool stuffs yet. But looking for a good long term TT for learning the fundamentals of scratching.

thx yeh

heyo all, just got my TT a few days back. hope to learn from all soon.

thanks again XtOtH3D yeh, appreciate your advice and help


EDIT : oyea, not sure if you guys are interested in DMC stuffs ; scratching, beat juggling stuffs. DMC finals malaysia running from 28th-29th in Ruums, anyone interested?

dang dude, your statons are quite high-end too ; I live 10 floors up man, kinda lazy too hahaha lemme at least have like a 3-5 mins mini session 1st ; if not go there nothing to share I bet you're still better than I am dude, I just started scratching on 22nd after I got my tables ; still getting the hand of setting up the tonearm for scratching

wow, the sales thread offer is dirt cheap... might sapu hahaha

nice opening, just found the piano a bit too loud in front. Maybe a bit of reverb will blend it noicer haha just my 2 cents

I 2nd that, I want a CDJ too really, but I have to own a TT and slowly earn my way to CDJhood

haha you got me wrong Choong, what I meant is your model is quite high-end ; read some reviews on it, solid ones. I know its troublesome to carry from place 2 place too man, never thought Technics weight that much when I went to Notti's place to get them

dont degrade urself man, seen u juggling ; looks fun haha just enjoy what we do can already

haha, recorded my practice session, dont laugh k... I took out intro only, thats the only watchable excerpt... 5 days into scratching only, so plz have mercy.

where do u guys go for the gathering anyways? I try lend my friend's cam go record the gathering hahaha

Just attended the DMC thingie... saw DJ Reeves again ; you guys have to give him credit for attending and trying out in front of a crowd man. Not easy.

Plenty if not more than half messed up in front of the crowd... Only 1 will win, and I'm sure I know which one. The standard gap is so obvious tonight... He owned the 3 min session edy...

Lucky you guys didn't go... Think you guys sure - - cos at the end of the semi-finals got some local dj perform... not that kick also, then some African rap-band started singing "stop smokin' mah weed." - - saw many ppl left... I left to get air too

anyways, it's so late now. Tido now. Cheers

ps : at least get to see female DJ (quite chun looking laaaa) battle. Dj Dirty Little Secret I think... IIRC la...

pps : will try upload photos for you guys to see, friend bz take vid and photo.
