overit Posted January 17, 2013 Author Posted January 17, 2013 ok, I added a few tunes to the end of my practise routine and I guess they are causing the issue.I'll go back to imovie, edit out the tracks I think are causing the issue and reupload.edit: I got a minute: Quote
Mitch Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 To me that looks / sounds coz i can't scratch at all really.Sorry I can't give a trained ear's opinion, regadrless of that I enjoyed Quote
overit Posted January 17, 2013 Author Posted January 17, 2013 cheers mitch That's the scratch dj equivalent of going to gym. Having not been in about a decade, ouch....waiting for a dressing down from wrx fiend tick tock tick tock, oh hang work... hnnngggg Quote
wrxfiend Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 mate, there's no way i'd be giving you anything but props! If you haven't practised in ages that shit was goooood! i've never tried any type of controller, so i can honestly say, how the fuck do you scratch without the feedback of the platter??? good breakdowns in the juggle too, i know how hard that is. nice flares and transforming. hit that reverse switch and get your hamster on!i like the wave cancellation when playing the same track at once, gives a wierd effect.hope to see more from ya boi!have to record one tonight and see what i can muster up. Quote
overit Posted January 17, 2013 Author Posted January 17, 2013 Wazza my bludder always so good to hear from you And yes fiend! I'm made up u noticed my flares! To me that is New technique lol. Hamster clicking will follow once i'm happy with the flare. Using a controller takes some getting used to but u get overit innit. No diferent to changing car and getting used to a new clutch etc. The hard bit is going back to vinyl and remembering!Thanks heaps lads. Means loads. Nxt vid hopefully from my school room. I'm fitting carpet thjs morn and furst official booking this aft. Ps will prob start a new user id to link my school to adjf, has to be under 18 friendly so cant have any connections with off topic Quote
overit Posted January 17, 2013 Author Posted January 17, 2013 FIEND: just thought:What you have to remember about using a controller is that there is absolutely no chance of the needle skipping.This means it is more like learning how to drive on god playstation simulator after you've learn to drive a real car.You can wreck it, be as heavy handed as you want, be lazy (well lazier than a vinyl turntablist, not as lazy as a press press dj), and still get away with it.PLUS: you get hot cue buttons, so if you do want to jump back to a cue point you dont have to pick the needle up or do mad rewinds to get back to your first beat.PLUS: you get master tempo so any pitch wobbles dont get heard if you need to nudge dramatically.So all in all using a controller has a lot of benefits, which could be called "cheating"... but then again you do lose the precision of a 12" platter, plus as you so rightly said: you lose that all important feedback from the platter working against you.Tools for the job mate. You choose them coz you use them. I like them all Quote
eggssell Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 nice one mate! Loving the vocal play bit. Quote
wrxfiend Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Yeah the beauty of serato with vinyl is cue points and no skipping aswell (only in relative mode tho)I can def see benfits with a dedicaded controller eh.When i can afford a new mixer hopefully it will have cue point buttons on it? Using laptop keys is shite Quote
Scottie Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Does the novation dicer work with serato? Might be worth looking into Quote
overit Posted January 19, 2013 Author Posted January 19, 2013 i'm pretty sure you can add any midi controller to serato?I use traktor and itch so not 100% sure, wazza would know.but if you can then any cheapo controller would be enough to use cue points.AKai lpd-8 is real simple but works for me.dicers also cool as scottie says.So you dont have to buy a real expensive midi mixer, you can get a normal mixer and add control externally.

Mitch Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 dicer's are designed with mapping for serato - and they attach onto the side of your decks nicely Quote
DJElev8 Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Yep definitely a different thing doing routines with different digital controllers.Nice routine, some solid techniques in there.I've been scratching since '99 and had turntables since '01. Seems this forum doesn't have many members that are dedicated scratch DJs but I'm sure there's still plenty of interest surrounding the art form.Glad I found this board though - will put up examples of what I'm into once I'm set up to do so.

overit Posted January 20, 2013 Author Posted January 20, 2013 ^ cheers man,hoping i'll be able to post some vinyl vids soon too. My poor technics have been mothballed about as long as you've been doing this lol!BTW: I posted this in the wrong thread really.When you post mixes/vids etc they should really all go here: viewforum.php?f=104 Quote
