That's the same one cap was talking about in this thread - viewtopic.php?f=8&t=7176 Looks like pioneer are trying to enter the beginner DJ market.

welcome bro

I learnt on a Mixtrack Pro, they are a pretty good beginner controller. By looking at a photo of the total control (however never used one) the mixtrack pro has better jog wheels. Also, the mixtrack pro is fully compatible with traktor pro, you just need to purchase the upgrade from traktor le, so don't let that turn you off it. As I said, haven't used the Total Control, but did learn on the mixtrack pro, and when i was looking to buy a controller it seemed the best bang for buck. Hope this helps

cheers street

Street just listened to you mix man, was diggin it the while time! Cool use of some different transition techniques and samples thrown in.

Very true, mixtape is very different to live mixing. You can mix like shit and the crowd will still dig if you play the right stuff. You can mix good and not read the crowd and they wont like it. Its all about feeling the energy. Which i can tell is what your about. It's just as / if not more important than the mixing

Just went and skimmed through this,, definately wasn't bad or anything. Just could do with a tidyup in some of the transitions. Beatmatching in some spots, phrase matching i picked up a bit out in one or two. When i listen back, some of the 3 deck mashup mixing actually worked well, and others not so much. But that more comes down to knowing your tracks well than anything, and you stated you didn't know them that well. The three deck stuff can work, but you gotta know the buildups, drops etc. in the songs well. Which it worked for some, others it sounded a bit too full on. But also what cupe said, people hear a slip up early and they bias against you the rest of the mix, which isn't really 'fair', but that's just how most people work.

hey man haven't gone back to re listen but i'll say what i can remember: think the main issue the mix had was you tried to have too much going on in some spots. This caused it to not have as much as a flow as some of the other mixes. beatmatching wasn't as clean as some of the others. This is just what i remember, as i said haven't gone back to re listen, but hope that gives you an idea?

So after owning my CDJs for three days, thought i'd record something. Still fine tuning my (very basic) skills on the CDJs, they are tad different to use than the old mixtrack. Mix is a bit rough around the edges, I didn't know all the songs that well which probably didn't help. There is quite a few stuff ups etc. but got told to upload anyway. So here it is. Your thoughts on it would be appreciated. http://soundcloud.com/mitch_fudd/harry-goes-electro-mix Tracklist: Hedwigs Theme (Electro Remix) - Touch Bass Fight Club Is Closed - Dada Life Louder (Inphinity's Electrostep Edit)(Feat.

welcome bro

Just listened man (only on laptop speakers though). Transitions sounded good. There was one around 20 mins that got a bit out of hand but besides that was real good man, enjoyed it makes we wanna start practicing mixing dubstep lol

im on 2.0.1, never had any issues whatsoever. 2007 MBP. But i was only using it with midi not timecode. But this version is stable for me

Welcome bro

sounding good man

Hey man, capfive already made a thread about this new controller in the mixers & boards section, check it out here - viewtopic.php?f=8&t=7176

Ah k cool, I live down on the Murray river, wagga is like a 3Hr drive for me lol. Shows how big riverina is I guess

Hey man , welcome. I live in the riverina too Where abouts are you from?

^this better explains it

From what i gather, main top end controllers to choose from: NI S4 Pioneer DDJ-S1 (and T1) - good if you want a layout similar to CDJs Numark NS6 - foolish can give you more advice on this one Denon DN-MC6000 Allen & Heath Xone DX Check out this thread - viewtopic.php?f=8&t=7247 Capfive ended up buying the Denon. Looking a bit over 800 for these though

jog wheel adjust. so when you are in vinyl mode it changes how fast the song 'accelerates'? (not sure how else to describe) back up to speed. can change from instant to practically never

you got a budget man?

*Dubstep - before Johhny corrects you

picked up my new gear today. Temporary setup like this until i go back home next week. Will take pics with a proper camera when i set it up at home with monitor stands etc.

This thread has some gold in it regarding running a club night. viewtopic.php?f=72&t=585&hilit=club+night is the place your getting a club, coz could you use their licences for stuff ? I have no experience with that though. Read tomy's stuff in that thread

eggssell, you can't take the power cord out the back of the djms, so you can't replace it
