hehe, after such long time away from mixing ; it's high time already mates

and it's truly purchase of the year~

ops I meant in my previous post that Vince nvm la, you with GG edy ; tight stuffs

bought from lowyat DJ Krish, throw in a laptop for me as well ; but paying by installment now

halloween, can I get VIP pass?

k syok, i try drag 1-2 friends to experience hardstyle

me! but no money now HYAHAHAHAH!

2.2 for the SSL

very well so far, tried mixing hed kandi with dj kawasaki hehe ; still rusty but hopefully can record 1 small mix for u guys to listen

delay as in latency for the digital vinyl reading? I tried messing it up by doing the tips scratch, it's working perfect ; tracking's good

sure sure! I wanna try your VCI also, haven't really tried using that ; I realized it very handy for spinning tunes on the go

later I try again, cos so far no noticeable latency ; and the review they did on it that I read online also said that there were some lag, but its frequency is beyond our ear's audible range anyways hahahaha

no wait, its actually 3.9k plus the lappie ; its 2.2 for the SSL

djtutor.com, watch the videos on gears etc ; so you get a rather detailed overview of what you're getting urself into, there are two types of Djs as well, one that will start off with mixing, the other will start off with scratching/turntablism. the site should be enough to give u a super detailed view anyways, good luck mate!

just out of curiosity, how much does Fuzz charge to take you under apprenticeship? what's his course structure like?

not a bad pricing system, compared to where I started... on mixing somemore, not even touching turntablism basic. Good stuff, keep training

saw his mixology flyer in Echopark, I took my classes in SS15 there, called deck knights academy... crazy pricing.. now stopped 'cause I'm funding my equipment and doing self-exploration on the topic itself. Much savvy.

edit : which also brings me back to the point, whereby I'm more into turntablism. More over than mixing, since my mixing sense isn't up to average level yet... don't get me wrong though, I enjoy mixing too... just that the place I learned from back then don't have TTs yet, and I found out that the internet is a good place to start

I got mine from here, through vince , 2nd hand always a better option for beginning for me. But make sure you check everything, and the warranty issues

yea, where do you go for his lessons? might wanna check it out

anyways, add me in msn if u don't mind ; looking for people to scratch with, come hang out with us sometime

welcome, hehe

owh, now that you mentioned it ; you got me confused there until I clicked on the PLU club siggie bar, haha! Chillax mate, I'm sure we're quite open-minded here

morning morning, boring boring. Elder bro opened my door and let the sun in, woke me up again... time for scratching

I'm into scratching now, I always go to www.skratchworx.com for gear reviews ; but it's sorta more tailored to scratch DJ's need tho, but still a very rounded review nonetheless

better than us, all talk no show ; next competition if im good enough, i teman u join ; we go have some fun

got wan, come gathering we all show face there hahaha

personally, this is what I think.

1. You sign up for a course, so you learn and benefit from the veteran that is teaching you ; and of course, if you so happen to only have money for a course that particular time. It will mean that you can't get your own gear so you have to go to the studio and use the gears provided. Means you have to be super free to always hang out there, like some of my friends in my tutor's place did. One of them went there everyday. And of course the gears will no doubt be quite high-end. I learned how to mix on a pair of CDJ800s with the DJM600. That easily costs more than 3k.

2. Whereas, you get your own gear. It will be intimidating, and watching video tutorials can be quite pace-breaking. As you see the person in the video trying his best to explain and then show it to you. Whereas in a live 1on1 session you can start throwing questions, and there will be a live feedback from you tutor. But either way, it always feels good to have your own gear. Granted it won't be the top of the line, but! everyone starts somewhere.

I'd hate to really recommend either one, 'cause both of them have certain advantages like you've mentioned earlier.
