woot , got dj thread xD
Hello peeps

TT's mainly for decorative purposes only
Only utilizing the D-vinyl2020 Controller + VDJ
Need to add a compatible ASIO enabled soundcard cos the Dvinyl one not stable ....
Guess a cheaper alternative is another Prodigy + Kernel Streaming / ASIO2KS ...
Least ive tested it & its stable

Get FinalScratch 2.0 At Sg , Roughly Costs about RM 2700 ..

But u can save more if u use Atomix Virtual DJ .

VDJ download Package FULL = RM 500 ++
USB MAYA44 2in/2out = i think about rm 700++



Voila , Something Similar with Stantons FinalScratch .

If u dont like VDJ , U can try MIXvibes too

MIXVIBES
VirtualDj

------------------------------------------------------

Somehow Im using VDJ + D-vinyl Controller
The original D-Vinyl software is buggy & the vinyl simulation not good .
Too much delay , Around 20ms ....

------------------------------------------------------

pornstar . Best get a 2nd hand decks .
Technics or vestax . It will last longer compare to budget decks if u really gonna stress your TT's under max performance like turntablism .
Yet best carts is Shure's 44-7 , 100% anti-skip . Reccomended for Scratching
But price around RM 150 each just for the replacement stylus

Virtual Turntables are just softwares .
But theres an option where u can use a controller that supports the software .
DMC1, DAC2 and DAC3 / Hercules DJ Console Mk2 to name a few ...

These hardware acts as an external controller which performs more profesionally compare using just a keyboard ..

Virtual Turntables also can become real by using a Soundcard which supports IN/OUT Asio And also the Special timecoded Vinyls where the data / source can be picked up from a normal turntable to the PC . Timecoded CD's also available if u want to use a CDJ .

-------------------------------------------------------------

If someone wanna start Mixing / dj'ing , Id suggest stick to software's first + a compatible soundcard .
After that get a Mixer . A basic one will do just for home usage .
Enough for someone to practice Dj'ing / mixing as software just performs like a CDJ
MP3's also an advantage where u can easily obtain your music

But if u into turntablism , then i cant help u ...
Without Turntables , I wonder ....
Using a mouse to scratch

" VDJ Supports Webcam , Wave your hands " Its True ....

Basic - ly a controller does is to simulate everything that u can do in our PC .
Just that its External & its a hardware . Compare by pushing keyboard buttons .

Mixer & Controller is 2 both different things .
But they have something that u can use with Traktor ..

Its a controller + Mixer



The Mickey Mouse Console LINK

There are 3 versions -
1. DJ Console MK2
2. DJ Control MP3
3. Hercules DJ Console Mac Edition

------------------------------------------------------

Mixer = Mixer
- Basic Function With 3-EQ + Gain ( Hi / Mid / Low )
- Channel Upfaders
- Crossfader

Controller = Controller
- Play / Pause / Cue
- Pitch Adjust
- Pitch Bend (-|+)
- Jog wheel

This Product is like a Basic CDJ & Basic mixer for beginner or professional use . Built in Both .
You can also use the Dedicated Controller With another Mixer if u want

Vinyl Simulation only can be done with Proper hardware / Turntables / Tabletop CDJ's .
Using These controllers are only for simulating CDJ's , Good for mixing / Club use .
For scratching , you still need a Turntable







The Stanton TT's looks sweet . But if u planning to go mainstream , Better stick to industry standard or something similar . Newer TT's may have more functions & can help u at home . But when you are out performing , You may need to use thiers .
You will be like
But u can always have an option to bring your own gear , but competition is standard . Either Technics or vestax ..

The Mk5 costs about RM 2800 Retailing here .
But i got mine from a friend's - friend ( some rich brat ) at about Rm 3500 a Pair + behringer Dx626 Mixer + Voltage Transformer (Heavy duty)
I got my own carts for about Rm 500 ++ , because the one comes along with it putus . I wonder how the person scratch
The TT's & Mixer are from Japan , Runs on 115V . Both Items are Mint in condition as the person bought it just because he watch too much MTV
And he mentioned " Linkin park "

Nah , im noob in instruments .
I dont even know how to scratch .
Im basicly into club & technical mixing .

The hardest part is not mixing , but its your music tracklisting & cuepoints .
To make things more interesting , My mixes are tight as i only takes 1/2 of each music .
Most of my time spent Analyse my music & setting right cuepoints
And btw , Im playing electroclash . More complicated than any other dance music

Hmm , Got hooked into dance music since 1999
Between :-

1999 - 2001 - Mainly commercial house / club music / Cheezy stuff
2001 - 2004 - Hanged awhile into Progressive / melodic trance
2005 Till now - Got Influenced into electro / electroclash / electro house

Got my gear between 2003 , It was MK2 that time .
Then came along the D-vinyl2020 in 2004 to get Mp3's playing .
But since then not much time to play with my gear cos busy working .
End of 2005 only change to MK5 , and recently got hooked into VirtualDJ software .

Never performed live nor played in any clubs , Im still noobie
Just need some time to prepare my set's & i guess i can get going

Wow good stuff , can use cheap Soundcards

There are also some other softwares that u can use a Non asio cound card to get Low latency
ASIO2KS
ASIO4ALL

But somehow i prefer ASIO2KS , Although its discontinued , But it works well with the softwares i use

Not sure about that , Try google

Yet the ultimate machine is here XONE 3D
Compatible with ableton / Traktor OR any software's that have midi features .



Superb mixer + USB soundcard + Midi controller
Price - 2699 $USD

VirtualDJ needs a Soundcard to work with it ,
Among the best ones are Maya44 . which retails around 6XX ++

In garage sale there is one Juli@ and also Maya 44
No $$ yet . huhuhu

Then you will only have Outputs , Not enough inputs if u want to simulate vinyls Or cdj ,
Only able to use the programs + saperate audio channels where u can connect them to an external mixer .

Currently im using Prodigy 7.1LT , Need to use ASIO2KS to make it work .
But the asio2.0 does not work with VDJ , but traktor & others works well

A better soundcard = better quality in terms of audio , Best if performing outdoor .

Yesterday im browsing for some gear and i came upon this MAWZER
The MAWZER is the only MIDI controller on the market allowing an infinite customizable combination of controls.

May you work in the Audio field or as a VJ, the MAWZER will help you do the job faster and easier. Simply plug *MODULES* in the Backplane, assign midi controls in your favorite software, and you're ready to play.

The MAWZER is build with ruged materials,enclosed in a flight-case box for maximum reliability in your live experience.







Universal Controller . Can be used for any software with MIDI support
