erm , not sure... i got it 2nd hand .. 250 USD .. so about 700-800 ringgit..?


Added on September 22, 2008, 5:14 pm
but if you seriously looking for a DVS .. i suggest rane serato as it's easier to get spare parts / service etc... in m'sia
mixvibes... ZERO support/spareparts etc..

aight, just checking to see what choices I got here wink.gif gonna seriously consider a digital vinyl in the near future, I miss mixing already... cry.gif

QUOTE(finecut @ Sep 28 2008, 02:54 AM)
is there any place offers courses on it?
*
Bukit Bintang there have a few places.

since I started a little cluelessly, I will share my experience and my personal views on getting started...

1st off, I don't think it's savvy to pay thousands of ringgits to a tutor when there is a huge resource on the internet on how to beat-match, scratch, read keys, etc. Just takes a little time to find those articles written by veteran DJs aimed at guiding beginners... I felt cheated when I realized all the material given to me by my tutor was just copied and pasted, then printed and renamed.

But bear in mind I'm not talking all tutors aren't worth the money, so far there is one that I think is worth your money ; as he covers traditional hardware fundamentals all the way to CDJ then digital softwares. But think about this also, by paying a tutor what are u aiming for ? You wanna get the basics down quickly with a guide right? Why not learn on your own 1st? I paid so much to understand that, we pay so that we have a a fixed schedule we have to follow in discipline as a step into this new passion/hobby, and also get access to higher standard equipments that we can't afford at that time.

sheet, type too much ; to illustrate me point, there are ppl who can DJ without even going under tutors ; but probably take longer when compared to those that went under tutors. I learned mixing from a tutor using his CDJ800 & DJM600 for some months, and as a beginner I felt clueless when so much access was given to me ; it's confusing, that's why I went ahead and saved some $ to get my own pair of traditional turntables. From there I then only understood what beauty both holds. But a proper tutor imho will teach u from the oldschool gears, so just find a good one ; or just don't bother.

Whether you wanna pay thousands of ringgits to a tutor and get the benefits of good hardware access, proper guidance into the fundamentals etc. Or you would just use that money invest in a set of nice gear, and get started. I can't emphasize enough how much you can get out from the internet nowadays, tutorials, articles, etc.

and like Choong said, Djing is ironically not a cheap hobby/subject... But anything that deals with music electronically is never cheap. Lastly, if I type too much or somehow offended anyone my apologies... since I don't usually type this much... doh.gif

carsonoel , where are you from ?

so this weekend ...... gathering will be on? again i'm sure xtothed would like it to be in the night ... i think it will have more feel .....

I'm from East MY, but family moved here cos my bro and me both study here anyhow ; and truth be told, back in hometown trying to even learn DJing is near impossible... all we do there is guitar this guitar that, drum this drum that, bass this bass that... so I end up in a band playing alternative in high school... but true passion is Djing ; glad I came here thumbup.gif

my car is damn old school, so driving down to KL is a bit of a concern... break down quite frequently le... bring tables somemore I worry, unless someone can arrange transport I don't mind pay a bit also blush.gif

Kind of interested in dj'ing though in hip hop genre. I read previous post that for starter is better to get Numark Battle Pak v4 isn't? So far how is the price going? Still maintain at 1.5k?
*
the last I checked was 1.8-1.9k what type of hip hop? just pure mixing or with the old school scratching fundamentals?

you can check out DJ Vajra in youtube then his myspace for his hip hop mixtape ; I recommend his Hydef mixtape, he blends scratching, beat juggling into his hip hop mixtape... if your hip hop is what I think it is, then you'll definitely love the mixtape. biggrin.gif

i'm from kuching, sarawak...and here dj/club scenes are no better at all.

i've visited KK earlier this year for away day...dont see any club named The Beach.
besides Bed was pretty famous...
i dont go there anyway, not like in 2006 where i still have interest in seeing pubs with live bands. now not anymore....

yea, I think its renamed to Bed already... it's famous because it's close to the shore I suppose, has an aquarium inside ; I wonder how the fish deal with the loud vibrations really...
