Your doing it right mate, if all else fails, go one ear on and one ear off and beatmatch to the master output, it can work well enough if you practise

What should I get? final thread decision
CapFive replied to SolDios's topic in Beginner DJ Tips & Tricks
I totally aggressive with fool, the industry will eventually move towards digital, best to get ahead of it, I would go a ddj-s/t1, then at least if you ever have to play on a cdj, you will be comfortable, we can only advise though sol, you must decide in the end... but do yourself a favour and start learning traitor or serator while your saving, do as many tutorials as possible -

I'm sure we have all heard it before, your heaphones are you most important piece of equipment you will buy. this got me to wondering, why is this so? howcome the heaphones are so important? here are some things that you should look for and the reasons why it is so important. first of all they are the only line between you and the booming speakers that are going to confuse your cueing... you need something that will be able to cancel out those low and high frequencies, the different between a ok set and a great set, is canceling out the high frequencies. this is the reson you see almost every DJ out there with over ear heaphones, buds just wont cut it, they cant cancel out enough noise, because it will resonate though the small gaps in your earhole. but there is another reason why over ear headphones are used, the simple method of air pushing to make bass, the foam cup creates a little boom box over your ear, and as the bass hits, it creates a sound cusion for it to bounce off, giving that true feeling and sound of REAL bass. for this reason dj headphones compared to others are only ever going to be over ear styles... whats the difference between normal headphones and DJ ones you say? well... im glad you asked jimmy... im glad you asked... you see DJ headphones has a whole different make-up to a normal heaphone, without going into too much detail, they are designed to hit those so-called "guilty-pleasure" frequencies, which define a track through the cymbals and bass drums, and which help ayou keep tabs on the rhythm even if the melody is drowned out by other sounds, the headphones accentuate those levels so it is easier to control them. i know what your thinking now, "but i see those ear-bud ear cancelling headphones everywhere, can i buy them?" NO! you don;t want total cancelation, beacause you do still need to keep an eye on the master output, you could be cueing up your track and then the music has been off for a minute and you would never know... lol so try to go for something that has a good bass driver, is a cup over ear style, and msot of all, make sure you actually listen to them... remember everyones ear is different, some people like a bassey headphone, some like a bright high end heaphone, don't just buy a set off the internet... because you may regret it as for recommendations? i can only recommend what i have used... but have a gander at thsee Skullcandy SK Pro these are a good start for your first set, unless you wanna be serious... they do the job, but only JUST, only buy these if you REALLY dont have the money Sony MDR-V700 probably one of sony's strong points is sound, they make a decent set of cans, these are good for the extra cash, nice and solid and IMO VERY comfortable Sennheiser HD25's i currently own a pair of these, and im finding it hard to move on... these little babies have been industry standard HD 25’s and the headphones of choice for professional DJs for many a year for one main reason, every part is replaceable without having to buy a whole new pair... They also have really good isolation from outside noise, making them ideal for use in extremely noisy environments, and their rugged build construction means they won’t break easily. they also have a 3m long cable, for those times when you wanna jump down on the dancefloor and have a dance while your DJing... maybe not... Sennheiser HD-215 these are good if you can't afford a pair of HD-25's. Excellent isolation from outside noise, a rotatable ear cup for one-ear monitoring and a detachable single-sided coiled cable (3m), the draw back is they are pretty chunky... Allen & Heath Xone XD-53 they sound fantastic and with an incredibly wide frequency range (5 – 33,000 Hz); their large (53mm) drivers produce deep thumping bass, punchy mids and detailed crisp highs without distortion. A detachable cable would have been the icing on the cake on an otherwise near perfect pair of headphones, which is the one reason i didnt buy them... i tend to destroy my cables pretty quickly... But i think one day i will upgrade to these, they have wider range which i would like to have

bootleg recording is an audio and/or video recording of a performance that was not officially released by the artist or under other legal authority.[1] The process of making and distributing such recordings is known as bootlegging. A great many such recordings are simply copied and traded among fans of the artist without financial exchange, but some bootleggers are able to sell these rarities for profit, sometimes by adding professional-quality sound engineering and packaging to the raw material. Bootlegs can consist of recordings of live performances or material created in private or professional recording sessions. Changing technologies have had a great impact on the recording, distribution, and varying profitability of the underground industry. The copyrights for the song and the right to authorize recordings often reside with the artist, according to several international copyright treaties. The recording, trading and sale of bootlegs continues to thrive, however, even as artists and record companies attempt to provide "authorized" alternatives to satisfy the demand. The word "bootleg" originates from the practice of smuggling illicit items in the legs of tall boots, particularly the smuggling of alcohol during the American Prohibition era. The word, over time, has come to refer to any illegal or illicit product.[2] This term has become an umbrella term for illicit, unofficial, or unlicenced recordings, including vinyl LPs, bootleg silver CDs, or any other commercially sold bootlegged media or material. Some recordings' releases - while appearing to be official - may in fact be unofficial. Through crafty packaging and desktop publishing, even the layman can create official 'looking' CDs. In the 1990s, so-called "import" CDs were actual bootlegs made available in many legitimate music stores. Most of these imports were from Italy. The Italian bootleg operation was shut down in the late 1990s, but several companies still manufacture silver CDs. Japan still has many bootleg labels, such as Highland, Empress Valley, Beelzebub, Godfather, Tarantura, and Tdolz. These bootlegs are difficult for the layperson to find, but experienced collectors or the internet-savvy can find them easily. Most artists consider any release for which they do not receive royalties to be a bootleg. Some releases while they appear official, are in fact unlicenced pirated copies.[citation needed] This is often the case with artists whose recordings have either become public domain or whose original agreements did not include reissue royalties (which was a common occurrence before the 1960s).[citation needed] Many bootlegs consist of private or professional studio recordings distributed without the artist's involvement, including demos, works-in-progress or discarded material. These might be made from private recordings not meant to be widely shared, or from master recordings stolen or copied from an artist's home, a recording studio or the offices of a record label. A number of bootlegs originated with FM radio broadcasts of live or previously recorded live performances. However, the most common type is the live bootleg, or audience recording, which is created with sound recording equipment smuggled into a live concert. Many artists and most live venues prohibit this form of recording, but from the 1970s onwards the increased availability of portable technology made such bootlegging increasingly easy, and as this technology has improved so too has the general quality of these recordings. The alternate terms ROIO or RoIO, an acronym meaning "Recording of Indeterminate Origin", or "Recording of Independent Origin", and VOIO or VoIO, an acronym meaning "Video of Indeterminate Origin", or "Video of Independent Origin", arose among Pink Floyd collectors trying to clarify the differences between counterfeits, illegally made copies, live bootlegs, and "ROIOs", meaning recordings whose legal status was difficult or even impossible to determine.[citation needed] The term has spread beyond Pink Floyd fans but its recognition and usage depends largely on the individual community. It is also sometimes used to denote a Pink Floyd recording of any kind.

WTB: Used Pioneer CDJ2000s and DJM2000 (Or DJM900?)
CapFive replied to Jarrah's topic in Buy & Sell - Gear
ok here is my 2cents, there is no point buying the latest and greatest gear as soon as it comes out... 2 years down the track you will be left with old gear that is no longer industry standard and you will think "why the fuck did i spend $6000 on this shit" you will be forever chasing your tail and burning cash trying to keep up with the club gear... just remember, THEY MAKE MORE MONEY THAN YOU!!! the highest i would ever go in 1000's or maybe no higher than 850's and djm 900. they all have the same functions that your basic dj uses, and if you get to the point where you are a resident at a club with 2000's it won't take you long to learn the extra's, pioneer are VERY good with keep their gear easy enough to transition from. and if your going to mobile DJ, again, spend the money on speakers, lights, and protective shit as well as stands, this is the stuff that will make you money in the end, not looking cool and having 2000's, your average party goer has no idea that pioneer even make mixers... they usually think a CDJ is the name of the thing that a dj uses...
