hey hows everyone doing?

anyone can help me out here.. lookin into mixvibes dvs pro, try to use it for 3 turntables, is it possible if i get maya 44 usb AND using the internal soundcard of my laptop as the 3rd channel (ie using asio4all etc) ?

and if anyone can tell me where to get evolution uc-33e here in msia that would be great.. (tried sinamex but they dont have it..)

lol im looking for uc33e but cant seem to find it around lol
been looking for it quite some time now

u can get it online from overseas for about rm550 but i wanna try it first before purchasing it...

or anyone got any suggestion for a midi controller to control 3+ decks on traktor?
it must have 3+ knobs for each channel though.. for EQing
and some extra buttons for other parameters eg effects etc

G'day fellas! I didn't realize there was a heap of aspiring muso's on this forum! This is my first post here btw. I know Sars and I've heard of Leng through foundationKL - congratulations on getting your tunes out to Portugal buddy wink.gif

If you all have any questions regarding analog / digital mixing platforms, please don't hesitate to PM me. I personally learned beatmatching through trying to manually sync my arranger keyboard to music playing in the background back in '99. Then I went from CD's to Vinyl, and then back to CD's (a somewhat weird transition pattern!). However, since 2005, I made the massive switch to Ableton with Max/MSP patches I wrote in Uni, and I haven't looked back since biggrin.gif I would like to say that in my opinion, I'd advise starting on traditional turntables / cd-decks (if possible) and learning the fundamentals of mixing, segueing and understanding principles of track structures before delving into the digital world... why you may ask? I'll elaborate more on that at a time other than 5am - Man I need sleep LOL

Good night all, this thread was an interesting read indeed smile.gif

any chance u've use any DVS before? which one is better? mixvibes, traktor scratch, fs etc

Serato is the most stable and responsive digital vinyl system I have ever had a go at and happily works on lower end systems in comparison to FS hardware + Traktor. However, feature for feature, Traktor does have a much larger arsenal of tricks (although the learning curve may be considerably steeper than serato's) Not familiar with mixvibes though.. Heard good things about miss pinky but just from friends, haven't tried it myself.
*
yeah mixvibes is the one i wanna know about most.. cause i can use MAYA 44 usb rather than fs or serato with its own interface, cheaper this way.. can just buy the timecoded vinyl and dl the software off the net heh

I'm in the midst of setting up a studio: 3 studios for your normal jamming and one room for recording which will be set-up properly with help from my bro-in-law (was ED of Warner until recently and has been in the industry for 30years or so.

Anyways thats besides the point. What I want is YOUR opinion of whether I'm taking a step in the right direction by having a pair of CDJ400s and a 2 channel mixer in all jamming studios my reasons being:

1) A lot of people want to become a DJ but lets face it, it can be costly

2) CDJ400s are cheap

3) Linkin Park etc all have DJ with turntables as part of their band so I'm providing local bands/youth the chance to experiment and who knows we might unearth some hidden talent

Yay or nay?
*
yay. where about's ur studio and whats the rate? really wanna try out those 400's..
what mixer r u providing? would be great if u could add turntable(s) tho.. got some vinyl i havent played in a while...

Speed - we're aiming to be fully operational by Feb which is about a month later than expected but I bought another company so funds were diverted plus location was hard to pick.

Wes - aside from the normal electric guitars, bass, drums and amps we're also trying to ensure that all the jamming studios have a pair of CDJ400s, DJM400 mixer and HDJ1000 headphones.

nice.. let us know when it's operational, wanna have a go with the cdjs, testing it out b4 eventually buying one.. really interested in its midi capability..

I don't forsee any additional branches as this is just one of my passion turned business. I have several other ventures running atm which are of higher priority. This is just something for those who want to spin but lack the means to do so

yeah would be graet if u provide a dedicated jamming room for djs, scratch or club

westokan , I'm using MixVibes Pro 6. It can support up to 4 turntable using one laptop but you have to get a 8 in -8out sound card. I'm using the ESI 4-in-6-out. So I can only run two turntables.

One thing good about mixvibes is that you are not bound to one price. You can have a very expensive setup which cost more than serato
or you can have a setup for only half the price of serato. So it all come down to your sound card. ESI u46DJ the company that has deal with mixvibes. another newer version to that soundcard is the U46MK2 which is a Mixvibes edition of the same sound card. better paint job, same spec.

www.mixvibes.com for more info.
*
yeah thats what im planning to have for a setup, mixvibes dvs and using maya 44.. just wanna know hows the sound quality and any issues with latency etc.. and if u know where i can get those timecoded vinyl locally that'll be great, or maybe a good deal online.. what's the best price for those?

cheers

westokan,I'm not sure where to get it in Malaysia. All I can say is it's hard to get. I even having problem getting the timecode replacement here in australia. I'm asking my friend to get it for me from US. I think you can try amazon.com for mixvibes. I think they now do post oversea.

erm maybe you would want to try torq. Sinamex is the dealer for m-audio torq. so easier to get support and spare parts .
*
yeah that's another way to go but i still wanna try mixvibes cause i just can get a maya44 for a good price and ive already got a copy of mixvibes dvs 6.. im gonna ask around if its possible to use torq's timecoded vinyl with this system.. ive heard djdecks and virtual dj can..

Dude,

I run female XLR to male XLR which is basically the master output of my DJM800 to my amp. Alternatively, I could also run to XLR to 1/8" using the same mixer and amp.

Most shops have either of the above, I got mine from Tong Lee for 900 a pair but DoReMi have them for as little as 30 bucks or so IIRC (this is for XLR female to male btw). DoReMi can also make for you (actually any shop in Jalan Pasar could but DoReMi is around the corner from me).

If you need help I could swing by your place or you mine to check each others set-up and wiring etc since this week is pretty slow cause of CNY so yeah quite free.
*
thanx for the offer but im out of town atm. The thing thats been throwing me off is that there's 2 xlr output (as u've read from the other thread i guess).. just tell me that I need only one xlr to 1/8" cable from ONE output, and i can get a stereo signal.. right?

What about using the RCA Master outputs on the mixer to connect your amp?

faulty master rca out.. that's why.. f*cking kastam screw my mixer on the way into the country, they opened it up and did a bad job putting it back together... so beware if buying a second hand equipment from overseas, u've been warned! hah!

it'll be mono i believe. in fact i just tried it and on my setup it'll run only the left/right channel which you plugged in
*
yeah thats what i thought initially, thats why i wanna find those xlr to rca cables..
but this guy from the other thread is making me pening about the signal that the mixer outputs..
cause im assuming its one L and one R cause there's 2 xlr 'holes'...
thanx for clearing that up


Added on February 11, 2008, 4:47 pmand a lil something i like to share with u guys..
recently i found a nice little tweak for those who are mixing using software (im my case, traktor) and want to have 2 stereo channel without buying those expensive multi channel soundcard..
all u need is to download asio4all and a usb soundcard (those flashdrive looking ones that u can get for 25bux).. what it does is using both ur internal soundcard and the usb soundcard at the same time so u'll have 2 stereo outputs (for mixing using external mixer like i do or having an extra channel for monitoring with headphones)...
if anyone is interested in this setup, let me know, ill elaborate more and give ya a step-by-step, quite simple actually
