As you can see the 'Home' is now automatically the forum. I noticed that the homepage 'News' section was really just gear reviews. The 'Reviews' have since been removed and all gear reviews will now be posted on the forum (including all news updates). There is now only a LEFT SIDE bar (Right side has been removed and the blocks have been moved to the left side). Basically, the forum is now the homepage area for ausdjforums.com and all info blocks are now down the left side column Anyone have any thoughts? Like it better this way? Hate it, and want the old way back? Feedback please! ___

The V-Machine is a compact VST/VSTi hardware playback module built for performance keyboard players and DJ's. It is one little beast that can't be underestimated once loaded up with your favorite VST instrument and effect plug- ins. Take your plug-ins on the road or into the studio and access them live without a computer. Multiple plug-ins can be pre-loaded into bank/preset memories for immediate access. Combine VST and VSTi plug-ins into chains, splits, and layers to create extremely rich and unique sounds. Full external MIDI controller support allows users access to available loaded plug-in parameter controls such as virtual dials, switches, and faders. Infinitely adaptable and powerful, the V-Machine is set to become a truly indispensable tool. Features - External hardware host for Windows plugins (VST instruments and effects) - Banks, presets (incl. chaining, layering, splitting) can be edited with the V-Machine or the host software - Create synth layers and chain them with effects - Connect nearly every MIDI-Controller to the V-Machine - Multiple VSTi's can be combined - MIDI learn functions included - All effect and synth chains can be switched latency free - USB-Ports for copy protection dongles - Use software samplers and stream its content from any USB drive - Sensor to adjust the display's contrast automatically Technical specifications - 1 Ghz CPU - 1G IDE flash disk - 512 MB RAM (only needed for storing the naked .dll files!) - 24Bit / 192kHz DAC Connections - Audio Line Out (2x TS 6.35mm): Line level -10dB - 1 x MIDI In (5-pin female DIN) - 1 audio input (1x mini jack 3.5mm stereo) - 1 x USB Type-B (Slave) : USB-MIDI Class Compliant - Headphone out (3.5mm stereo) - “Kensington” style lock aperture - 2 x USB Type-A (Host) compatiable with USB-MIDI and USB Mass Storage Class compliant devices - DC IN : 12V Regulated Software All SM Pro Audio V-Machines ship with a control configuration software compatible with Windows, Mac OS X and Linux (future support). Users can load up their favorite VST/VSTi plug-ins on their computer for auditioning, sound-set creation, and bank/preset memory assignment prior to transferring to one of the V-products for stand-alone use. Simple intuitive software makes sound and effect creation a breeze. Transferring your plug-ins to the V-Box, couldn't be easier: A speedy USB transfer to the hardware units (via USB cable, USB stick, or USB harddrive) takes care of all required user data, memories, and of course plug-in transfer. Once in the main unit... you have freed your plug-ins from the computer and have instant immediate access to your instrument and effect sound creations on a dedicated hardware unit. The V-Machine has banks, presets and channels. In each bank you can run unlimited presets and within one preset you can have up to four channels and up to two fx channels. Each channel can load up to three plug ins and each fx channels also has three plug-in slots. Even the master channel can hold up to three plug-ings so you can run up to 21 plug-ins in each preset! The right screen shows you the native plug-in interface (only one plug-in gui will be shown at a time - this picture is for demonstration purposes only) or you can switch to the controller mode, where you can assign all parameters of the plug-in/s. And remember: Now you can play all your favorite Windows plug-ins (dll-files) on Mac and Linux.

LONG BEACH (November 7, 2007) – Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. Professional Sound and Visual Division, the leader in Pro DJ products and the innovator of the CD turntable, unveiled the latest addition to its family of CD turntables, the CDJ-400. The CDJ-400 combines a sampling of features found in the different levels of Pioneer’s CDJ series with the simplicity of a standard CD turntable, including USB1 integration and MP3 playback, MIDI support, scratching capability, scratch jog effect and a variety of looping functions. “We’re making it versatile and easy to get more control of digital music mixing by developing products like the CDJ-400” said Matt Dever, vice president for Pioneer’s Professional Sound and Visual Division. “We’ve made the player very affordable for DJs. The CDJ-400 is packed with features that are ideal for different levels of DJs, from the ‘newbies’ to the professional DJs who want to better manipulate their DJ computer software.” USB Integration and MP3 Playback The CDJ-400’s cosmetic design is simple and compact yet elegant with all of its various controls and features located directly on top of the unit. A USB port found on the face of the player allows DJs to play their MP3 music collection from a wide variety of portable music devices such as thumb drives, MP3 players or external hard drives. With the use of a multi-function selector knob/button and its large, bright, dot-matrix LCD display, locating and accessing of files from these types of music devices as well as MP3 music files on CD and CD-R/RW through the CD slot are done with a turn and press of the knob. DJ Software Compatibility and MIDI Control With more of today’s DJs utilizing different DJ software for their performances, the CDJ-400 is also equipped with a PC mode. In this mode, the CDJ-400 is a native controller for software such as Pioneer DJS2 computer software and SERATO® Scratch LIVE3. For example, the movement of the pitch slider on the CDJ-400 can control the pitch slider on the computer software and no timecode CD is required for audio control. The player can also act as a MIDI controller where the user can assign virtually every button on the player to trigger functions of various DJ software programs. World’s First Scratch Jog Effect A highlight and an advancement of the CDJ-400 is its scratching capability. In addition to traditional “vinyl” mode scratching, Pioneer implemented the World’s First Scratch Jog Effect. Three highlighted buttons, each assigned to a special effect, Bubble, Trans and Wah, creates unique scratching sound effects that can be enabled by the DJ on the fly. A “hold” button was also added to retain the different effects throughout the session or until its release, which can also be triggered at any point of play. Additional features in the CDJ-400 include: • Digital Loop functions: A variety of loops can be created for additional audio effects o Beat Loop: Automatically creates four beat loop based on the beats per minute (BPM) of music currently being played o Loop Divide: Rhythmically divides the loop in halves to create different patterns o Hot Loop: Restarts the loop seamlessly from its entry without interruption of the music • Digital Jog Break: In CD mode the CDJ-400 contains three effects, Jet, Roll and Wah, which further enhances the audio by simply rotating the jog dial. The same buttons for the Scratch Jog Effect are assigned to the Digital Jog Break which are accessible at any point of play • Tempo Control: Four tempo modes, ±6%, ±10%, ±16% and WIDE4, provide additional speed control with a resolution of 0.02% in the 6% range • Cue/Loop Points: Up to 10 cue/loop points per disc, for up to 920 discs can be stored in memory • Jog Indicator: A break in the red halo illumination around the jog wheel provides instantaneous feedback to the DJ • Customizable Jog Wheel: The top of the jog wheel can be removed enabling the user to add their own customized image • Digital Output: A digital output is available for a direct connection for clearer sound to a connected mixer • Resume Function: The function takes effect if a CD is ejected accidentally. Once the DJ re-inserts the disc, it automatically starts playing from exactly the point where it stopped The CDJ-400 will be available in January 2008 with a manufacturer suggested retail price of $750.00.

The Technics SL1200MK2 is probably the most used piece of equipment in the history of the DJ-scene. It is a reference to where competition is measured. Even when a new CD deck is introduced people will always compare it's performance again this legendary turntable : Technics SL1200MK2. I've made modifications to my SL1200's in a rather complete way : Lead's Technics SL1210LTD. Normal people would only mount a deckplate over the body of their turntables. This is a non-permanent way of coloring your decks. SL1200 or SL1210? Let's get ride of the rumors for good : There is absolutely NO DIFFERENCE in technical performance between the silver Technics SL1200MK2(or MK5) and the black SL1210MK2(or MK5). The only difference is the color of the aluminum housing. Actually the black version was meant to be for the european market with it's voltage selector beneath the platter. Nowadays all SL's have a voltage selector which makes both deck absolutely equal. History of a Legend This is the historical timeline of the life of the Technics SL12xx series. There is a lot misunderstanding about this and some younger people might forget. The Technics SL-1200 is found side to side with DJs everywhere. Power Switch To turn the SL on and off, you rotate the black disc on top of the Stroboscope (left side). Rotate it clockwise to turn the power on, counter clockwise to turn it off again. Stroboscope Light and Dotted Rim The engineers have designed the pattern of the dots on the rotating platter in a very clever way. The dots give a visual indication of the speed when the platter rotates. Check for the index just below the stroboscope itself. When the dots don't move in a ring you can find the speed in the index. When the dots are 'running' in a certain direction the speed of the platter is just below or above the speed in the index. Play/Pause With Play/Pause you can start the rotation of the platter, or when it's rotating you can brake it. After you hit the brake the platter will usually stop within a quarter rotation. This is an adjustable setting inside the SL and it might not be set right on every deck you'll find so don't rely on it that it sound the same everywhere. 33 1/3 and 45 RPM Selector With these selector you have to choose the playing speed of the platter. Most 12" vinyl records with 1 track need 45 RPM, all others 33 1/3. Although this is no hard rule you could use it as a general guideline. Pitch bend trick when on 33 1/3 RPM Some people use a little pitch-bending trick when the 33 1/3 RPM mode is selected. When a track is playing you can hold down the 33 1/3 RPM button and at the same time press the 45 RPM button. The speed will increase to 45 RPM but when you use it with tiny little pushes you can perform an un hearable positive pitch-bend. Weight The position of this counter weight sets the pressure on the needle and is measured in grams. The black ring (with scale printed) rotates separate from the rest of the weight so you can easily set the 0-point to the right place. After you mounted your needle and element you'll need to balance the arm. Just put the needle somewhere in the center of the platter and rotate the weight to change it's position back and forward. When you reach a complete balance the arm is in horizontal position, just floating around. Now hold the weight and turn the ring with scale so the 0 lines up with the marker line that is carved in the arm. Now your 0-point is set, rotate the weight (the scaling will move along with it) to adjust the needle pressure. When moved towards the base of the arm, you'll increase the weight. Read the number of grams from the scale. Usually 4-5 grams will do the job. More Weight? Keep it in balance. When the weight is in it's most forward position and you need more pressure you can take of the weight, rotate it 180 degrees and put it back on. The scaling will now point backwards. When you move the weight to the front again you will have a few grams more. Anti-Skating This knob adjusts a spring that can give the arm a force outwards. To make the correct setting put on a record with a nice blank part (mostly found near the center of the records, or between 2 tracks). Adjust the force so that the needle and arm keeps their position. The higher value you give the Anti Skating, the more force outwards is given. During a set I sometime make adjustments to the Anti Skating, sometime some records seem to need it. Tone arm Height The height of the arm is dependant of the type of needle you use. Every needle has his own specific height. You can find this in the instructions that are enclosed with the needle. Unlock the Mechanism To adjust the height you first need to loosen the lock that hold the mechanism. Look at the right back side of the arm section for the lock as shown here. Adjust the Height Rotate the ring with the scale printed on to adjust the height of the arm. Read the height with the read marker (red line). When the mechanism is unlocked, you can adjust the height from 0 to 6 mm.

Durability is the most important aspect of a high quality pair of headphones - will they stand the test of time? Yes, thanks to the compact folding design, ear pads made of a tear resistant material and special screws that hold the cord in place, making it simple to replace the cord should the need arise. Additionally, a black vinyl-carrying pouch is supplied to keep these prized headphones looking like new.

Soft Touch Housing Designed with DJs in mind, the housing can rest against the shoulders for stability and comfort. Stereo/Mono Selector The selector allows you to mix right and left channel signals for single ear sound monitoring, this comes in very handy when you play tracks where the producer sweeps the melody or percussion from left to right. Cord Assembly Available as service part and is very easy to replace: Lift the coushen gently of the shell. Then unscrew the tiny screw in the shell and remove the metal plate. Now you can change the cord and put everything back together again.

The Pioneer DJM-400 offers a host of beat effects and an in-loop sampler that offers a new level of flair for creative remixing. Built around the same digital processing technology and high quality components used in Pioneer’s DJM-1000, the new unit is a reliable and robust performer with exceptional audio quality. Although the smallest mixer in Pioneer’s range, the Pioneer DJM400 packs a wide variety of effects for creative mixing. The effects, that automatically detect the BPM of the music and sync to the beats include some familiar sounds which are processed at 24bits for the highest quality sound. In addition, by using the newly-adopted Beat Select Button, the Pioneer DJM400 automatically sets the effect time linked to the BPM for more intuitive play and responsive remixing. The intelligent 96kHz/24bit sampler automatically detects the tempo of a track during playback, sampling it for four beats, then loops the sample. As the sampled audio is in sync with the beat of the track being played (no matter the tempo) the DJ is given more time to be creative. Samples are automatically beat matched and up to five samples can be stored in memory. The DJM-400 has been designed with as a perfect partner for the MP3 compatible CDJ-200 both in terms of style and function. When combined, these units create a small, portable yet powerful and robust DJ setup that offers exceptional versatility and performance. Specifications: Sampling Rate 96 kHz A/D, D/A Converters 24 bits Internal Processing 32 bits Cross talk 78 dB Frequency Response 20Hz ~ 20kHz Distortion 0.005 % Signal to Noise Ratio line 97 dB Signal to Noise Ratio phono 82 dB Power Supply AC 220-240V, 50/60Hz Power Consumption 13 W Dimensions 223 x 304.7 x 106.8 ( WxDxH ) Net Weight 3.2 kg Input Specs & Terminals CD/Line 2 + 2 (RCA) Phono 2 x (RCA) Mic 2 x(Phone Jack 6.3) Faderstart 4 x (mono mini JACK) Output Specs & Terminals Digital 1 x (RCA) Coaxial @ 48kHz or 96 kHz Master Out 2 x (RCA) +2 dBu / 600 Ohm Headphone Monitor Out 1 x (Jack 6.3mm) +8.5 dBu / 32 Ohm The DJM400 is designed for high sound quality. Analog sounds are sampled at 96kHz. 24-bit which is the same as a lot of studio equipment nowadays. The actual mixing is performed using the same DSP as that is used for the DJM-1000 and the DJM-800. This ensures that the mixer delivers a clear and powerful sound. As the DJM400 processes the signals fully digital, please also use it that way. Meaning that you should not see the RED OVER Led's burning full time. Just keep them flashing as maximum (not constant) level. Use the first yellow LED as a good reference to what you put your gains to.
