It works now! Buy the plugin, and after you install it go into the setup screen and type "SAMISGOD" in caps and it unlocks the SL-1 feature! Try it out! It only works on the full version so you have to buy it; the Sam feature isn't put into the demo version.

lol. there are a few threads on this already. you need to search. if you can't afford the 57 and want to use videos, look into virtual dj. i've demoed it with sl1 before and it works fine. not as nice as the serato video plugin but it will do.

hey diego. good to see you on the forums. if you really want to do video, $1400 should not be an issue. you'll make that back in 2 gigs. 3 tops. you'll have it paid off before you even get your credit card statement.

if you're just interested in spinning videos in your bedroom, get vdj.

HEY EDER, I'M GONNA DO WHAT YOU SAID AND IF DOESN'T WORK, I WILL BE PRETTY PISSED OFF. AS A MATTER OF FACT, i'm gonna call rane "serato" and get this verified.

eder, since you claim it works, give me the key, code, password or whatever it is for the video-sl and let me try it out, if it works then ill buy it.

the "Authorization Code" to be exact

little,
why not read the fucking FAQs to find your answer?

Don't know why ur cursing, all i asked was to give me ur authorization code from ur Video-sl so I can try it for myself and to proove yourself right.

funny thread

I'll give you my VSL auth code if you give me your social security #. deal?

Classic.

LOL...........that was a good one. i'll make a serious deal with you, give me your auth. code and i'll hook you up with videos. I have a huge connection with "Promo Only". I can get any videos I want for nothing.

And this goes for anyone that wants to make that deal!!!!!!!!

prepare to get banned.......

hahahha, oops.

LOL you have a huge connection with promo only but you can't drop $1400 for the mixer+plugin? Sounds like your connection is the shit falling off the back of the truck...

YES.........my cousin works for promo only down in Florida. I am currently using Virtual Vinyl with a Numark dmc2 controller to do video.......so why would I need to go spend $1,500 on a mixer when Video-sl "SUPPODISLY" works with the sl-1 interface?

"supposidly"

Virtual Vinyl is just as good as Serato but the only difference is that Virtual vinyl comes with both audio and video in 1 for $500.00 you don't need to spend $539 for serato plus another $200 for video-sl.

Hey "Little" slapnuts ... If you paid $500 for Virtual Vinyl then alow me to offer you a jar of vasoline for free. Virtual Vinyl from Numark is Virtual DJ permanently skined to the Numark skin. It cost's $150 from VJD .. add $40 for the Vinyl (if you lived in the USA 3 years ago)and your at $190.00 .. Wait ... you dont have the skills to use vinyl. My bad.

When you say Virtual Vinyl is just as good as Serato you need to check your skills. I have been a PC - DJ for over 10 years .. yeah 486 DX100 and Pentium 100. Kiss my ass. BPM Studio, PC DJ, Virtual DJ, and Serato. Now .. going from Virtual DJ to Serato is night and day ... It's on like realtime should be. If you cant tell the difference, then you couldn't mix Obama and Hillary at a democratic debate.

Why are you even on these forums? Go talk shit to people that dont know any better. Besides .. I know you wouldnt want to hurt your wrist bringing that record back and forth.

Go find a new sandbox to play in. I would hate for you to see me in a bad mood. If that happens I would suggest buying a big box of Kleenex.

PS. If your cousin really works for Promo Only and he new what your were doing / offering and saying, he'd kick your ass.

Now get out of here before things start getting ugly. Go push your buttons on your dmc2. I can say that especially because i still own (2) Dac 2 controllers but you problaby wernt born when they came out 4 years ago.

Well you might sound like your at least 6 years old so you might have had one.

BTW ... NO MODERATOR said SL1 works with Video yet. If you read it, show me the post.

Wow ... REALLY?

ok "madd matt"........number 1, virtual vinyl cost 500 because you also get an interface box just like the SL-1 interface and you also get 2 control records and cd's. It's the same as serato with a different name. So, I dont know where you get $190 from. And virtual vinyl is as good as serato. I use it when i do my music videos in the clubs and I have never ran into a problem yet.

number 2, my cousin doesnt care what offers i give and say cause he does it himself.

number 3, i will go push the buttons on my DMC2 and after im done pushing those buttons, ill push the buttons on my cdj 1000 mk3's and after that, i'll push my clear serato vinyls back and forth on my technic 1200 mk5's.

number 4, nothing is going to get ugly....your starting to remind me of an "AOL Tough Guy"

Last but not least, if you ever wanna battle on theTurntables, come to New York and I will personally make your 10 years experience look like you just started yesterday for the first time. And thats a promise!!!!

Eder said that............not me or a moderator. So go yell at him

hey LVMES, how did u demo it with the sl-1 it doesnt seem to work for me

little,

if virtual vinyl is as good as serato, why the hell are yo bugging us then?

ESPECIALLY when you haven't used Video SL yourself?

thats how much i paid for vv when i first got it. its is not the same as Serato nor is it even close. To be a top dj in NY, 1500 for a mixer should be pennies to you or maybe you are a bedroom dj/gangsta trying to stir up the pot here. Virtual dj has some great features but it don't have the main one and that is stability with vinyl.

I've been DJing since 1987 ... Been using a PC for the past 10 years.

$500 is still too much $370 is more like it.

Numark Cue is not the same as Serato with a different name ... Its Virtual DJ

I know what Eder said ... He isnt a moderator & yet you belived him. Thats your own fault for not reading the million post's about it already.


And I might just take you up on your little battle. I could go for a NYC trip. I'm due for another Trophy.

synergy.chillershotspot.com
synergy.chillershotspot.com

Plus I need to due some audio quotes for a few nightclubs there.

no shit it's virtual dj but when you buy the version with the interface and the records, it's called virtual vinyl..............and the only "top dj's" in new york are the radio station dj's. if your not one of them or are friends with them, no one wants to even look at you. I have spun with many of the radio station dj's in New York and people still hate and I had a radio station manager tell me that I Spin better than half the dj's that are in the radio industry....like i said New York is a state of HATE!!!!

Virtual vinyl doesn't have stability? maybe you should download the newest version 5.0 I use both turntables and a DMC2 Controller with it and never had a problem. i only use virtual vinyl for video and serato for audio.

Ive had Virtual DJ since version 2.1.6 .. That was back in 2004. The interface is just a soundcard problably no better than my maya 44. Plus I have the time coded vinyl for it. Which I also got 4 years ago. I have the newest version. So why do you use serato for audio then if Virtual DJ is soo good? Keep in mind that I went back to using VDJ a few months ago for Video reasons. And I couldnt wait to get back to serato.


You mean to tell me that the Best DJ's in NYC are the Radio Jocks?

Wow bro .. seems a few of my boys in NYC might have a problem with that.

9 times out of 10 radio dj's dont know how to mix and when they try its a trainwreck from hell. They dont need to know how to mix. Radio Jocks mostly need to be MC's.

You saying thats a staition managers says you spin better than most radio jocks is the dumbest thing Ive every heard. That proves nothing.

just to clear this up radio dj's are different from the dj's that play music and talk. dj's dont talk on the radio and mainly do no more then 2hr mixing.the radio personalitys dont spin,some start doing it later,but the best dj's can be the radio dj since most are battle dj's.

oh and mad that a cool trophy but not a dmc trophy,so it has no real meaning,just a best dj for the city you stay in.and most on here are scared to say anything wrong about serato,like their sponsored or get free stuff from them,truth is I've Been djing with virtual dj also with the serato box and it works frawless but Im not getting paid by neither but what the club owner wants is video so I had to do VDJ till serato video cameout.I brought the ttm57sl and mess with the demo video but havent brought the plugin yet cause VDJ works good.I brought the mixer cuz I was a battle Dj and always like the buttery faders.I see where most ppl dont wanna spend $1350 w/video or $1450 or $1550 for it when dj only wants $499. I think it was a bad mistake on serato part but thats them.I still brought the mixer mainly cause I can controll my laptop from it.not really for video since the cpu wasnt strong enought to run they said,and with vdj its no biggie.

Most Mix show Radio Jocks didnt start out as Radio DJ's either ... If they did they wouldnt learn as much as a DJ that started in a club. Bedroom DJ's dont get enough experience either and good turntableists didnt start in the studio. They were in the clubs too.

We did a club style Contest .. Not a DMC Turntableist Competition. We were judged on Mixing, Syle, length of mixes, In and out at proper times, Chord structure and all around accuracy of the Mix. We each had 15 minutes and 3 songs we had to play which we picked from a hat. 2 new and 1 old school. Whatever we put in between was up to us.


Yep ... I hear ya ... Thats why I went back to Virtual DJ Too ... i did a full Video install and had to start using videos again like i did 2 years ago. I started running Videos when VDJ came out with their video version.

I have no problems with virtual except no matter what I tweaked I could never get the latency to be as good as serato even running the SL1 Box with VDJ. Virtuals Timecoded Vinyl never felt like real vinyl. I have not seen anything that is as acurate. Seratos Timecodes on VDJ didnt help either with latency. And that didnt support needle drop.

I own 2 Nightclubs and my DJ's were not happy when I said they had to go back to VDJ cause now were runnin Video.

I consider the best DJ's to be the ones who can keep a floor and keep it rotated and keep people in the club that don't dance. And mainly keep the garbage from even wanting to come to the door. I felt the same way even before I owned my first club.

Were running Video with serato now .. I've spent a ton of cash as well but I consider it worth it to us. My guys perform way better on Serato and I have to admid I do too. It took Virtual DJ a very long time to get it right. But the way serato designed it with the Video portion completely seperate is such a great Idea and I support that. VDJ users were pissed when video came out cause at that time audio wasnt all that stable and then they added video to the mess.

Video doesnt run effeciently with serato yet but, I know that will get worked out soon. It took VDJ 3 releases till there coding was much more efficient to run vids.

DJ QUE............I thank you so much for backing me up. And yes virtual vinyl / dj does work flawles. I have the new 5.0 version on my macbook and it's the shit. there's more features for the video and there are fixed bugs.

Now mad matt, i see what u are saying about the radio dj's but "IT'S THE NAME" thats al these club owners and promoters are worried about in NEW YORK. If your name isn't out there, they dont want you. Ive spun with radio dj's that bring there friends to spin and the actual dj that was suppose to spin, just stands there and watches and get paid a shit load of money for doing nothing. he'sgetting paid for his name and what station he dj's on.

I guess I just don't belive that Its only the radio DJ's that get the gigs cause they are on the Radio. Like my good friend Corey Jasper spins at alot of places including Pancha and he's not a radio jock (occasionally an Internet Mix show but thats not the same). Then you have Siz and Riz that play different venues there but, I know they are also doing a lot out of town. But no Radio that I am aware of.

Then there's DJ AVA which is a Turntablist / Mashup Artist for the Vault. I know he was on the radio but not sure if he is anymore.

Its understandable to bring in a Turntableist into the club and have "everyone else do the work" If your a straight turntablist your set is usually very limited .. Your not doing a 4 hour shown ... More like a small exibition. Unless you can spin a club mix as well.

So I still can't belive that all the resident DJ's are also on the radio. Maybe bring someone from the radio in once in a while for a small set but most clubs still have residents that will do the beginning and end with a special guest in the middle somewhere.

I definatly know that the headliners have their DJ's play for a lot of the night. I mean, I've gotten invited to come up to NYC and do some shows with them so, I completely understand what you mean by that whole concept. But those DJ's wernt Radio Jocks but, they were the headliners.

I'm new..... does the SL1 carry all the vinyl inside it?

Dj Sizzahandz and Riz are just known as "mash-up kings" and sizzahandz has been spinning in this brooklyn lounge called "level lounge". I never really here about sizzahandz spinning in clubs in the city or wanted by any promoters. And About your friend spinning in "Pacha" i have also spun there with Dj Camilo of Hot 97.1. The club owners today don't get the big named dj's, the promoters get them. thats why to make it as a dj in new york, you gotta know people. If it wasn't for my cousin promoting all of these clubs, I think i would have quit being a dj cause thats how serious the competition is.

Lol KaGeN :o)

I've been wondering that all day. :(

I need $ so I can afford it. :(

of course it comes with the vinyl......if you bought it brand new, it should have came with an interface, 2 rca cables, 2 control vinyls , 2 control cd's & an installation cd.

Can I get the interface by itself?

I hope u didnt buy it used from someone and they only gave you the interface and nothing else. That would be kind of funny

if you buy it used from someone.. thats the only way

No. I mean the other way around. :( So, can I buy the interface by itself?

I just said yes you can. If someone is selling it used. Other than that you would have to buy it brand new and spend $539

I have virtual DJ. Can I trade it for SSL and get some kind of rebate or something?

... and if I get the RCA's at Radio Shack, will that be cheaper?

When my SL1 box stopped working 5 miutes ago... I opened it up looking for music, only had some stupid circuit board in there...

I use it as a toothbrush holder now.

don't open that box......are you crazy? what do you mean it stopped working?

i also use Virtual dj but i have the Virtual Vinyl version, the one that comes with the interface box. I use that for music videos.

Oh man. I hope mine doesn't break down.

If it does, can it be repaired at the place I buy it at? Oh wait, what if it's used. Rats!!!! :(

Can I connect Virtual DJ and Serato Scratch Live and play with both at the same time? I don't want to get rid of my Virtual DJ.

There should be no reason why it stops working unless you dont take care of it and bang it around. If it does break or stops working, you have to call Rane and tell them you need to send your serato interface to be inspected. If there is no sign of damaged or if it's a defect interface, they will send you a new one.

LOL.....no you can't use both at the same time. The interface are programmed different

Can I use SSL with Virtual DJ? I mean the program. Or Virtual DJ with the interface for Serato Scratch Live?

I'm so lost. :(

... and I read about a new program called ITCH or something. Can I use that with Virtual DJ or vice versa?

you cant use either or. you cant mix match programs with interfaces

How about the vinyl? Can I trade vinyl with programs? Like use it on both or one, or the other? Hope that makes sense!

no you can't....the vinyls are coded different......wow, u are trying to beat around the bush anyway u can

If that was the case, every dj would buy the virtual vinyl interface and use it with serato and then rane would lose alot of money

all because virtual vinyl is cheaper than serato

do you have an AOL Screen name?

I don't use AOL. I'm only 15. My parents don't let me. :(

So, let me get this clear. If I buy SSL used, and I can buy all the stuff separately, I still CAN'T use Virtual DJ?

Not even cracked or something?

No need to go in to panic mode.......

I stay at a Motel 6 last night and I play a doctor on TV.

Correct!!!! serato is one program and virtual dj is another. If you can't afford to pay for serato in full, there is an online company dj equipment cmpany WWW.AMERICANMUSICAL.COM they are located in New jersey and nevada. They sell serato brand new and if you have a debit or credit card you can make 3 payments instead of 1 if you dont have all of the money right now. Thats how i bought mine a year and a half ago

Wait a second guys. You're messing it all up. Out of the 4 people in this discussion, only one knows what he is talking about. That's me.

Cool. I have another question.

What about the VSL... can I use the SL1 once I get it to run video?

no.....you need to buy the TTMSL Mixer which cost $1,450

I know exactly what i am talking about

Does the TTMSL come with software? Or you have to get that separately as well?

serato is built into the mixer but the video is a seperate plugin which cost another $200

Oh damn. That's a lot of money! :(

Maybe I should get another paper route!

LOL........Rane is working on a version that we will be able to use the video with the SL-1 interface.................A-Swift, tell i dont know what i am talkng about

how old are you tony?

24 why?

i'm pretty sure i thought i knew what i was talking about when i was 24 too

Don't be hating cause you dont know shit about serato

Yeah. Don't hate on TONY LITTLE. He's helping me. :)


But, I still can't use the plug-in for SSL and Virtual DJ? I'd like to test it on there to see if it's worth the money.

sixxx is being taken for a ride and tony is the driver. or is he?

I think we're going in circles. :(


I'm lost again. Should I start over?

Sixxx is a nOOOb. Tony, tell him to use the freakin' search function for God's sake!

lemme break this down to you.........serato is one program and virtual dj is another. They are not compatible with each other. And virtual dj already has the video in it already.

Anyone want a beer? I have a feeling we're gonna be here all day...

We dont have to start over again, just start from the top of this forum and scroll down and read everything over.

Get latindj a Corona.......Thats what spanish people drink

OH. I GET IT NOW.

What about Torq? Can I use that with Virtual DJ? I'm trying to save money here.

si por favor...una corona! con sal y limon...

(only cuz I'm Mexican and Spanish people usually drink sangria)

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo LOL..........every dj program is not compatible with each other

He wants a Corona with lemon

I understand the money situation but u have to spend money to make money

I think I've heard that somewhere before???

This is frustrating me. :(


I barely had enough for Virtual DJ and now I want SSL cause I heard it's got

AUTO-MATCHING.


:)

Ok guys, I just got an sl1 and my mixer is a numark. I want to use video, So i bought some program from a guy on craigslist called video sl for serato. he said it usually goes for 1400, but he sold it to me for 700. I paypalled him the money and he sent me a program and some sort of codes. He said it works strictly with serato. I can't get it to work at all with my serato. Am i doing something wrong. Thanks, oh my mixer is a numark dxm 06.
Thanks

Gazelle

Virtual dj has auto matching, if you open virtual dj, you will see a button called "Sync" thats the beat matching

Let me understanding.. If I Virtual Vinyl that can does a video in Seratos? That sound fresh! So eBuy Seratos $500 + Virtal Vinyls $300 + Videoes SL $200 = $900. Why buy a mixers to Rane on $1450? THAT'S DUMB! HAHA

excuse me djpuma_gemini... wait your turn. DJ TONY LITTLE is helping me right now.



Anyway, but I heard/read that SSL has BETTER auto beat-matching feature than Virtual DJ. I don't like Virtual DJ cause it doesn't mix stuff right on its own.

:(

Dj Puma.....The TTM57-SL Mixer cost $1,400............Not the video-sl plugin. That only cost $200. You cannot use the video-sl with a numark mixer

*chuckles*

did someone say an improved autoplay?

Sorry mr sixx. I didn't know there was a wait. I just didn't want to get screwed with my purshase that's all. So did I get screwed. I might have to contact the guy and see if he has the 57 mixer by rane. Thanks

Rane needs to give me a job as a moderator.....lol Thundercat, you cannot use virtual vinyl with serato to use video

I explaind this to Sixxx already

There is no wait, I answer questions as they come

Dj Puma.......he was suppose to sell you the mixer itself.......he sold you the video plugin for $700 and it only cost $200

I'm still new.... and now I'm very confused. But I did save on my car insurance.

what's this about new autoplay? I need it when i take 30 minute breaks to bang a bridesmaid at the weddings i press play for.

Yes you did get screwed

maybe paypal will help me. I knew i should have stuck to mixing with my pc.
brb gotta call paypal. looks like i got taken, again.

Oh, I misunderstanding. Sorry. Thank you Tony!

There has been auto play for the longest time now...........if you open up your serato, if you put it in REL. Mode or INT. Mode, right underneath those 3 options you will see "AUTO" with an arrow on each side. Just press auto and it will highlight. the only thing is there is a short delay between changing songs. If you have your songs set on cue points, go into the setup, click on playback and select "Play from first cue point". That will start the next song a little quicker.

But Tony, I can't have that delay! They'll hear her scream during that delay!

That's not auto-beatmatching though. Is it? I heard auto-beatmatching was better in SSL.

LOL.......ur nuts sixxxxx.......that is auto beat matching

download the 5.0 version for virtual dj, there are more features and fixed problems

No. I meant in SSL. That's auto beatmatching??

Its the same shit

wait a minute. I thought Serato Scratch Live was for people with genital herpes, I have quite an itch.

am I wrong about this? what does DJ stand for?

Will someone get intouch with Rane and tell them to hire me as a moderator

Oh... so you're saying that the AUTO in SSL is the same as auto beat-matching in Virtual DJ? Awesome!!!

Yes...........it's called "SYNC"

DJ = disease on junk

omg tony is the man tell me more!!!!

Any other questions before i go?

DJ=Damn Jukebox (that keeps playin the shit I don't want to hear)

Yes. Do you know anything about ITCH? I want to know if I can buy that instead and if it's compatible with VSL and SSL.

were can i get virtual dj

I can has video too?

Nothing is compatible with SSL yet. The Numark Dmc2 controller and Denon HC4500 Controller will be the first to work with SSL. Then in late spring/early summer, numark is coming out with another controller called "NS7" take a look at it, I am deffinitly buying it, I already got it on reserve. WWW.NUMARK.COM

is VSL really free?

whurr cann I download VSL?? Does it work with my CD's, TONY?

What you wanna get is Virtual Vinyl, That comes with the interface box and the control records and cd's. WWW.AMERICANMUSICAL.COM you can buy it there

no VSL is not free, it's $200 and i'm sure it works with the control cd's

which system has better stability"?

Here is what Matt Damon taught me. When you sit down to a table full of poker players, if you don't spot the sucker by the end of the first hand, it's YOU!

is this you DJ Tony ???
www.mechanicalmarksy.com
impressive.

^^^^lol

Now I'm confused. Now I gotta buy CD players instead of the vinyl?

Well Serato is a little better because the way they made the program, it has a couple of more features than Virtual dj but as far as stability, I have never had a problem with neither one. You just need to have a fast computer with alot of "Ram". Thats whats most important

LOL.......I like the pic

We'll see how smart this guy is. Tony do you even know what RAM stands for?

When I started reading this thread I was like, "I HAS A VIDEO!" but now I'm more like "NOOOO! RANE BE STEALING MY VIDEO!"

no sixxxxxx.......if u wanna buy cd players then you get them or if you wanna buy turntables then u get those.....it doesnt matter

Duh swift. It's a dodge. Grab life by the horns?

lemme see if i can remember....i know the M stands for memory

My toothbrush holder just recorded a re-run of M.A.S.H

I'm so stoked, just call me Video Jockey Ape Shit.

Is it ok to use two different cd players? Like if I have one CDJ and one Denon? I know the mixer can be different, but is the control signal going to get screwed up with different decks?

Thanks Tony. You've been very helpful today. You should report all those who are buggin' you when you're only trying to help me.

Random Access Memory

STFU, sixxx... he can help all of us.

Your ram has horns?

my ram downloads porno....

you can use 1 of every single cd player ever made!!! it doesnt matter

i just found the address to wikipedia too.

a-swift must be impressed that i know what RAM stands for

Sorry, i didnt check on no website for it

And please don't report me TONY LITTLE. I was only trying to be funny. They already warned my to quit fucking with people so I don't want to get Kagen'd. Please don't report me.

im impressed on how much you know and how helpful you are

Don't be mad cause I know more than you.........read this whole forum, you can learn something

Kagen'd? Is that like a mac version of the blue screen of death? I don't want that to happen to my new mac! Don't Kagen me Tony!!!

Im 24, not 2 i dont take life as a threat

Awesome! I'm gonna get one CDJ and one S3500 and that way I'll be ready for anything! One will be for scratching and one will be for mixing.

i put your post in the wikifier and clicked "feeling lucky" and it landed me on the irony page. footnotes also linked to gullible.

Does the 57 have ram to store loops. Me thinks I need a 57 now for my video sl. Mr tony how good does a 57 work with video sl. Any benefits.
thanks.

Hey, I'm not a Scumbag dj like most of them are. Thats why I have alot of dj friends cause i'm not all about myself

I don't want to play music, just videos...can I just get VSL for $200 without those other softwares?

Dont get the 3500's.......thy suck for scratching. it sounds like a digital scratch, not a real one like the cdj's

I wish I had people in this thread that were my DJ friends...

the mixer itself doesn't store the loops, the actual software does

What if you use someone else's mixer? Are the loops still there?

well you need the serato software to use the video. you dont have to play music, thats your choice

the loops get stored into your computer. you can use your serato in Internal mode and still have your loops without a mixer at all

Dj michael basic, I think from this forum that you need to have the 57 mixer to use video, unless you just use quicktime for videos. I do it and it works great. Cant really mix, but the crowd really digs it. They think im so cool cause i have video, most of mine are ripped off of bet or vh1, but hey, it gets the job done.

So if the loops are on the computer, why can't the SL1 play video? Isn't the video on the computer too?

Instead of using quicktime, just get virtual dj for now. You can mix with that

Isn't it more professional to have the watermark? I mean, we're like sponsored by the music video channels then, right?

So if I buy a ttm57 mixer I can have video and DJ Friends?

that video plugin is programed for the TTM57-SL Mixer. They are working on the SL-1 interface

sponsored? yeah right

I thought the SL-1 already came out? Why are they working on it again? Is it going to be the SL-2 soon?

I get my videos from Promo Only........those videos are specifically made for dj's

so the sl1 will someday work for video, but how can u fade between videos with a off brand mixer
are they for sure gonna have the sl1 with video, if so, how long.

Thanks Tony, you're swell

whoever said that it works with the SL-1 is making that up

this discussion solved all my problems, we should have more people with such knowledge in this forum. keep on doing the good work!

Tony, I thought the SL-1 already came out...why are they working on it again? Is it going to be the SL-2 soon?

Dont know yet, it might be a while

What if you want to have dirty and clean videos. do you have to buy dirty and clean versions. That is pretty expensive, not like mp3's.

How long?

they only make videos for clean versions so you can show them on tv with no swear words in them

yeah, id liek to no to. Why get a 57 when I can just use my slI.

Is there a censor button for videos? Can we do that Cops thing and blur out parts? I got a cool idea for a new night at the club.

Oh, but what if you wanna get crunk in the club and drop some dirty ish. Do you have to play the video on one deck and play the dirty track in mp3 on the other and match em up. That's what I would do, might be hard cause my beatmatching sucks, but I don't see any other way.

i heard there is a censor button in SSL that covers the "dirty" parts in the video

i heard you can take the clean video and play the direty version of the track in the same deck. dont know how though. maybe tony does.

Tony, I just wanted to thank you for all the good info! Per this discussion, I just ordered a brand new 57SL, the SSL video plug in, an sl1 (for sound), virtual dj, 1 cdj 800, 1 dvj-100 (for mixing the video), 2 technic m5g's, and 2 dell laptops (I think I need the extra ram?). I spent my college fund but I think I can make that back like A-Swift said in about 6 months. I got it all for just under 20 grand. Is that a good deal? Oh, and I was wondering if you could help me hook it up?

holy shit latindj. thats a lot of money. i never said you could make 20 grand in 6 months. unless maybe you're DJ AM

I just got off the phone with the guy Shaun from Serato and he said the SL-1 interface DOES NOT work with the Video-sl

OMG! what did I do!!!????!!!

man you got shaun's number. you are deep in the game. how you get that?

swift, you said you could make 1500 in about 2 or 3 gigs so I just multipied??? is that wrong?

latin......you didnt have to buy the sl-1......its already built in the mixer

but you said you used it for sound??? I think I screwed up... :(

that TTM57 Mixer is made for everything, sound, video, etc.

But the guy on the phone said everything you told me was correct, except that the 1400 price for the 57 was "per channel". He said he needed to charge me 2800 if I wanted stereo sound, which I did, but he gave me a good deal and charged me only 2500.

Money?????? You all need to think about this. Being a dj in an "off the book job" lets say you wanna stop being a dj someday, what job or pention plan do u have to back that up? This is only a weekend thing for me but I do also have a real job

tony, do you really dj in clubs? do you really spin videos with VDJ at clubs or just in your bedroom. what clubs do you spin at? just wondering

hold on..........thats bullshit the whole mixer it's $1,400 and change

I practice at home and then on the weekends i spin in clubs and lounges

What are you talking about? He said I need both channels for stereo? Am I being taken? Dammit!

where at? what city? what clubs?

Yes i use VDJ only when i need to do video. if im not doing video then I just use serato

yes you are being taken......there is no such thing and paying per channel

I dj in New York city in many clubs and lounges....to many to list

I set up a roth IRA and maintain a divested portfolio at about 10% bonds, 40% large cap, 20% small cap and 20% international growth stocks. It's just that the $150 per set doesn't go very far. That's why I'm thinking about dropping some money on video to really step up my game and get that IRA moving!

Whoops... forgot the additional 10% in mid-cap companies.

are you spinning videos this friday or saturday? if so, what clubs?

i'm actually taking the weekend off, i'm going down to Atlantic City to have some fun

Aright people i'm out........i'll be on later

U did say you can make back the 57 in 2 or 3 gigs. not 20 grand. sheesh mr latindj, you should read the whole forum b4 jumping the gun.

I'm back... what did I miss. Damn!!! 70 posts in an hour? Wow.

THANKS DJ TONY LITTLE for all your help!

I'm going to vote for you to be a MOD. I hear that's how you can become a mod around here. :)

I'd like to take this opertunity to thank everyone especially Tony for being so helpfull today. :o)

He's got my vote too.

It's about time we got someone here sooooooo full knowledge.

I hope everyone got all their questions answered properly and in an orderly fashion. I noticed a couple people were trying to cut the lunch line on Sixxx, That wasnt very nice.

Tony is only one man. It would have been nice for a couple others that had half the knowlege to make an attempt at helping the others.

Sorry mr sixxx, I didn't mean to cut, I just had a hard pressing issue that needed to be relieved asap. Time to scour the internet for 57's and videos. VDJ here I come.

Tony is back!!!! Here to help with your problems and concerns

If anyon has a myspace and wants to request me, click on this WWW.MYSPACE.COM

Scantless........

Tony, I called the dude at the shop where I bought my stuff and he said I'm actually getting 2 mixers, one for showing videos on the left channel and another for the right channel. I think I'm ok now right?

Cool! Damn latindj, that's a good question.


I have another one though. I have gemini turntables, do I have to buy gemini CD players if I want to use CD players? Or, is any other brand OK?

I was thinking of buying Numark CDJ's too. What do you think DJ Tony Little.

I need your input please.

Thanks!

sixxx, i might actually be able to help with this one. i think you can use any cd players, but you have to unhook wires or something between songs since the turntable makes things so quiet.

www.bananas.com

That diagram might help, although I'm not sure what all of the wires are for. I had my friend set mine up.

Thanks cubicle. But, the colors on the wires don't match my wires. :(

Maybe the picture is wrong.


HELP TONY LITTLE!!!!

latin......he's an asshole in plain english he trying to scam u on money

you can use any cd player that you want but the best ones are the cdj 800's or 1000's

This guy is selling me a cdj 1200'. mmmh.

He said for $600. Is that a good deal?

yes.....that is the video plugin. when u are using the video, a screen opens up with 3 boxes one for channel on(left) channel 2(right) and the center box will show the video that is playing at that moment. underneath those screens will show a crossfader. when you are using the TTM57 Mixer, if you move the crossfader from left to right, the fader on the screen will move with it. the fader on the screen can also be moved left to right by using your mouse without moving the TTM57 crossfader

no such thing as a cdj 1200 there is a cdj 400, 800 & 1000

Oh damn. Maybe I read it wrong.

I'll check and get back to you.


I have another question. And, sorry for bugging you since you're also helping others...

Do you know much about turntables?

yes i do......what tables do u wanna know about? give me the name and model

Hold on... let me look them up. Check out my profile. I think the information may be there....

Wow, somebody in this forum that ACTUALLY knows what they are talking about, seems this Tony Little dude knows his stuff.

I am new to this Serato video stuff and have a question if I can jump in?

sure........i am like the Grand Wizard of serato

Anyway, back to my stuff. Did you check out my profile DJ TONY LITTLE?

The question I have has to do with that Technics 1200. For a minute, I forgot what the name of it was.

Ready for it?

yup

I just recently moved from the West Coast and I learned to DJ from a well known DJ out there called DJ KaGeN (Baddest mutha on 2 turntables) and I am still learning.

He says Serato and the Video plug in will ONLY work on Windows computers but I already own a mac. I am saving to buy a Dell as per DJ KaGen's instructions but seems I have to buy a 57 mixer, two turntables and the Video plug in plus a DELL computer running Vista to make this all work...

I will go broke because Serato Video doesn't work on Macs. Can I just get the regular Serato and run it on a Mac until I can save and get the Dell for video?

The video does work on a Mac......For someone to be the "baddest mutha" he doesn't know what hes talking about. I have a macbook and I have the video -sl

DJ TONY LITTLE,

On the Technics 1200, can I put my Shure M-44's at a 23 degree angle?

Sixxx you nOOb!!! You should know that will NEVER work...

you dont have to just buy turntables, you can buy cd turntables or whatever you are more comfortable with. But you do need a TTM57-SL to use video

Really, he told me that the Video plug in only works with Windows and Vista. he says macs are "toy computers" for people who know nothing about computers, they are not for professionals who really take stuff seriously like Djing.

Wow, so I can run Video Serato on a Mac, I thought it would be incompatible, because you know they don't make much software for Macs.

What do you think is better Tony Windows or Mac. I really want to do this DJ thing, but I want to be taken seriously. People see me DJing with a "toy computer" like a Mac they may not hire me or take me seriously.

There are 3 ways to angle a m-44. 45 degrees to the left straight and 45 degrees to the right. if you are looking at the needle and have it directly in front of your face, turn it 45 to the right. That is the best for scratching

macs are good as long as you upgrade the Memory chips "RAM"

I have 2 gigs of ram in my Macbook and I never have had any problem

Position the needle going counter clockwise

Oh damn. You ARE the Grand Wizard of Serato... and now of the 1200's. :)

Thanks for the info!!!!

I'm gonna try this when I get home.

Also, can I do that on the Ortofon Concordes?

You mean you had 2 gigs with your Macbook in Rome (Italy?)?

Or what does Ram mean then?

LOL.......funny Ever look at the specs of a computer and it would say for exapmle: 2.0 ghz processor 60gb hardrive 512 mb of Ram Ram is what reads the files from your hardrive. The more memory, the faster your computer will be

You can not the that with Ortofons cause they are made straight. you can't pivot the needle on a Ortofon

Oh I never really noticed.... now that you say...

So when I make my RAM double, will my PC go twice as fast?

And while we're at... why do I need 60GB harddrive? Can I get rid of the hardrive, buy Ram, then my computer will be faster and I dont need a harddrive!

Is Ram also for the Mac or only PC? I heard Macs don't need Rom! Is this thrue?

Good info. Thanks!

Can I do it to this one? Someone told me that these are cool needles and I might get some but good thing I asked you before I buy.

www.djdeals.com


These ones aren't straight.

And you ddint explain whats up with those 2 gigs you have with your mac... where do you have those 2 gigs? I would like to watch and listen.

Nik39.........of course you need a hardrive, where do think your files get stored on your computer? You need Ram (memory) in any computer. without ram (memory) your computer wont read your files. And yes if you upgrade your rame your computer will perform better

Sixxxx...........you can do it with those Ortofons but you would have to buy the Technics Headshells. If your going to use serato, the Shure m44-7's are the best for the serato vinyls. they are better for scratching and they dont ware down the vinyls like any other neddle would

If your going to use Video-SL, it requires that you have 2 gigs of RAM cause video files are much larger than audio files so they will take up alot more space on your hardrive.

Good info. Thanks.


Oh wait, even with the 45 degree angle?

The RAM chips are inside of your computer, very easy to remove and replace. I have 2 gigs in my laptop becausei want my computer to perform better and not crash while im spinning in a club or doing a party

Yes even the 45 degree angle but make sure you get those Technics Headshells

Wow, 2 gigs isn't very much to store Music. I have downloaded about 1 gig of music from limewire so if I have 2 gigs of Ram in my Mac, I would almost be out of room. I guess I will have to get that Dell, it probably has more room to store music.

Some guys were telling me about this site called Crooklyn Clan that has all these cool songs that already pre-mixed but you have to buy them (only like $2.99 but you get two songs already mixed together so it is still cheaper than one 12" vinyl). I'm not used to buying my music when I can get stuff from limewire for free but 2 songs MIXED TOGETHER already for $3 that is a deal.

I'm sure my 2GB will fill up fast. Damn, I need that DELL anyway.

LOL......you are so confused. Gigs of RAM is totally different From Gigs to a hardrive. Having 2 gigs of RAM mean that your computer can read 2 gigs worth of files at the same time without the computer crashing or running slow. My MacBook has a 250GB Hardrive in it. I have almost every song from Crooklyn Clan, just dowload LIMEWIRE (Basic is free) WWW.LIMWIRE.COM and you can download everyone of there songs for free

i'm sorry WWW.Limewire.com

No... I mean GIGS like GIGS wher you spin!! Am I misunderstanding?

What else can you load from LIMWIRE? Is it free? How many songs you have?? How can I get cooklyclan mixes free??? Hooke me up!!

you can download everything from limewire, songs, music videos, etc. If you search under AUDIO, Type in "Dj Sizzahandz" you will find all of those crooklyn clan mixes

as a matter of fact, I create my own mixes like crooklyn clan does, if you wanna hear and example go on my myspace page www.myspace.com

there are songs on there that I remixed myself. it's basically the same way crooklyn clan does it

Hey, I had a friend come over for a session back in october (no homo) and he had those 23 degree angles on his needles. What a tool. He goes through vinyl as much as hef goes through hoes.

I like to put a penny on my needles to keep the needle in the groove. thats what my old school homie told me and it works. needle never jumps the groove.

I got a 160 gigs of ram in my mac, shit is so fast. Or is it harddrive I don't know. the apple guy sold me all those upgrades. I told him I want to run video sl and he had no clue what it was, but still gave me all those upgrades.

Mr art payne you can get externals with gigs and gigs of ram. I have a Lakie 320 gigger and it holds all of my 10 gigs of music. I keep the extra space to allow the harddrive to spin faster so it will access the files quicker.

Damn. Lots of good info on this thread.

Why didn't anyone mention limewire before? Damn. You're good DJ TONY LITTLE.

Can you show me how to beatmatch? I know you have mixes on your myspace but do you have video? Or maybe audio of one of your mixtapes?

Thanks a lot!

Yeah, I heard guys talk about external drives, in fact a friend of mine was going to sell me one but i didn't have scuzzy on my Mac (he spelled it SCSI but pronounced it scuzzy). I only have UBS ports and firefox ports on my Mac and the one UBS port is used by Serato.

I wonder if I can get a UBS to scuzzy adapter so I can use that 10GB drive dude was going to sell me. It was only $75, that would be a deal compared to the 2 gig Ram prices I have seen.

Yeah scuzzy is real fast.

this is almost as good as the technique 1250 thread

Mr sixxx, the way I beat match is I hold both turntables still and let them go at the same exact time. If one is off I adjust the pitch and then try again. takes about 1 minute but, when I'm real good I can do it in 20 or 30 seconds.

IT'S 160GB Hardrive and if you bought everything from apple, you got robbed big time. they overcharge so much it's not even a joke. I bought all of my upgrade from Staples and paid $145 for my 250gb hardrive and my 2gb of ram

Can I also get that scuzzy on my PC?

sixxxxx. ........there is a video on there that I remixed. go back on my page and where it says that I mix videos, right underneath that is the video i remixed. just click the play button and you can see it

Oh ok, I got a 160 gig o byte harddrvie and 2 gigs of ram. Sorry, I don't know pc's very well. Can I use my home computer for djing cause it has several harddrives in it. My friend built it for me, his name is Ryan Dell and he has the name on the side on the computer. I swear he showed me his ID

why would you beat match like that? all you would be doing is creating a FLANGER sound effect

as far as I was aware, a computer only needs 1 hardrive. unless you run out of space and need an external for back up

Well, My drive letters are C, D E F G. my harddrives are c d e and my dvd burner and cd ram is F and G. Here are the sizes.

C 74 gigs
D 186 gigs
E 279 gigs

Don't know why he put so many in there, but i told him I want a lot of space for music and videoes whenever I get them.

THat is how I line up my beats. I let them both play at the same time and watch the waveforms on the screen. Thats what its for right? When one goes faster i chagne the pitcher and try again. Once they are aligne tehn I fade to only one track and let the crowd, or my girlfriend in my bedroom hear it.
She says i suck, but shes not a dj, so she really don't know anything. Whore.

i cant believe you guys are still messing with this dude

You might have just 1 hardrive and he could have Partitioned the hardrive into 3 sections, thats were you get the letters c,d,& e from. or maybe he put 3 hardrives, take off one of the side panels of your computer and look inside

Can I use that scuzzy if I get SSL? Does it work with my virtual DJ?

Thanks. Ill check out that video you remixed later.


Thanks for the beatmatching tips. I'm gonna try that along with my 45 degree angles tonight.

that is beat matching if you are doing it with 2 different songs, if you are using 2 of the same songs and beat matcing you will be making the FLANGER sound effect. What serato wants to do is beat match by itself by just pressing a button and let the program mix it on its own without you physically mixing yourself

Also, I have another question. Have you heard of a Jazz drive? Is that for music only? Or, can I do videos? If I do either, does it have to be only Jazz music? I don't want to mess up any files I get from limewire.

Thanks for the info and sorry for asking so many questions. I feel dumb but I wanna know.

I have never used scuzzy, i dont wanna use scuzzy so i dont know if it works

Never heard of jazz drive

Tony, I don't think puma's method is working for me...I have a hard time because I have a cd player on the left and a tt on the right and it's hard to release them at the same time...plus I can't hear both of them on my headphones either? What am I doing wrong? Is there an easier way? Can serato just line them up for me so I can spend more time reading my crowd and talking to hot chicks like a cool dj?

If anyone wants to check me out, go on my myspace page WWW.Myspace.com

i'll make it easy for u, start the song on the cd player then start it on the table. once you got both playing, just push the vinyl until you match the beat from the cd side.

ok. let me try...but I yhink it won't work cuz the sound from my cd player is waaaay cleaner than my tt, but I will try it ur way...

if your having trouble reading a crowd, play a song that is pretty long so u have time to recover yourself

I already let the songs play all the way through. I can tell people are diggin my style cuz they keep looking @ me. I think I'm a pretty swell dj.

they could be looking at you in the sense of "what he hell is this dj doing? he sucks"

you shouldnt try anything new while your spinning in a club. try practicing at home first until you get it right

ha ha ha! ur funny! I like ur sense of humor but I know people like me cuz they always give me money to play their songs.

word of advice, if someone gives you like $5.00 to play a song, dont even play it. if someone gives you a $20, then play i. Thats what i do

I just found a watch I want
crave.cnet.com

thats a phat watch....only if it had a serato record on it

Wow there are some thick women in NY. I had no idea. Thicka than a snicka like meech. haha I made a funny.

one time, the bar owner even paid me 25 bucks to play for a b-day party on a sunday afternoon. usually he just buys me a couple of drinks. he told me I'm getting better each week and if more than 20 people show up, he'll give me 15 bucks an hour! woooo hoooo!

That would be REALLY COOL. I have trouble beatmatching so if I could just click a button and have the 2 records just magically line up, that would be sweet.

I wonder why they didn't think of that. It is really hard to keep the records on beat.

most of the time I get a dollar per song.

for $15 and hour, I wouldn't even leave my house

When I spun in HB once, this blonde chick wanted me to play the boots with the fur song. I told her she gotta pay and her boyfriend beggged me to play, well actually he gave me a buck and squeezed my arm real hard and said play it for the lady. So, I did, haha score sucker, one extra buck for me.

but that's double what I make selling shoes at jc penney m-f???

see when I spin at different clubs in New york, I go home with a minimum of $250 and more

omg! u must be like dj AM or something! I knew u knew ur stuff. I'm gonna check out ur myspace again ok? I want to get to that level someday. Wait! ur better than AM cuz u spin video with VDJ and he can't.

Tony you should be a MOD.

I've learned more today that I ever had on this forum before. My parents may buy me a new Mixer for my 21st birthday so I can go out and spin in the clubs. I want a 57 but we can't afford it. The two gemini turntables I have really set me back.

WOW, MINIMUM OF $250, Hang on I wanna show this thread to my parents.

I was going to go to college but I think I can make it as a DJ. That Kagen guy says I have skills, all I need is that Dell and and some practice. I have been hanging around this guy named DJ Johnny M since I moved and he is teaching me how to spin all this old school stuff just like Grand Master Flash used to do except we use Serato.

DJ Johnny M is so sweet, he can still play real vinyl and he even has an antique REALISTIC mixer for the TRUE DJ sound quality.

He says he can beat ANYBODY in a Battle. He tells me about this big battle he had over the Internet and he wiped some Mexican guys ass all over the turn tables. I guess the Mexican guy had all these video clips in the battle but Johnny broke out his REAL VINYL and kicked his ass.

I LOVE hearing that story about how Johnny M beat that guys ass.

Man I want to be a professional DJ sooooo Bad.

That doent mean i'm better because he doesn't do video. There is no such thing as "worlds best dj" there is always someone out there that is better than the other person

but you must be on his level at least...right? that's a lot of money per night.

No the guy he battled took little video snippets of sound from DVD's and imported/ripped them into Serato. Then in the Battle, he would play the audio snippets just like a battle record. It was kinda sweet but DJ Johnny M whipped out his real vinyl and mopped the floor with that guy.

DJ Johnny M has NEVER lost a battle - dude is just that good,

I bet you have some really cool video mashups. Can I dl them from ur myspace?

dj art..........on my myspace page, there is and old school hip hop mix that i made. it was mixed live in a club I spun at last week. i recorded it and put it on my myspace page. it's 13 minutes long and it's titled as "old school hip hop mix" click on that song and listen to it. it's all old school hip hop.

click on this link www.myspace.com

I have a video mash-up on my page, check it out

dude, that justin timberlake vs michael jackson is the shit!

Thank you..........that was hard work making that

Nice mixes on you myspace page Tony. Do you have the Numark X2 turntable you got on the background of your page? How is it? Also, did you buy the V-SL already because I see you have that logo on your message box thingy. That's too bad if you did because I got them authorization codes you need. Found them on Limewire....

Good info everyone. That whole stuff about battling is cool. I wish I could win a battle someday. :( But, I can't even mix right so I'll have learn first.


Im going to bed, but I'm sure i'll have more questions in the morning.

Thanks again DJ TONY LITTLE for being so helpful.

lol, Sixxx you're killing me!

Hands down this is the "thread of the year"

I downloaded the V-sl but I cant open i cause i need the code. I tried searching on limewire for the codes, i couldnt find anything

How do you search for codes?

Dj Art........I wanna see Johnny M beat Dj Spinbad. I highly doubt he would.

Johnny M or CB as we call him nowadays would win ANY battle (regardless of outcome).

:)

CB as in CB4?

lol


I have another question DJ TONY LITTLE. Hit me back if you're on.

Spinbad is pretty good...

but DJ JOHNNY M says his one rule for how he lives his life - NEVER ADMIT DEFEAT!!!!

He is truly a DJ legend...

go ahead sixxxxx.......

Spinbad is pretty good? he's got the fastest hands in New York. He started out as a battle dj and then went to Radio and clubs

dude, you're not kidding. he's so highly regarded, he won't even talk to us on this forum anymore, but we've all got a special place for him in our hearts around here.

^^johnny m that is...

Yo Tony, I keep hearing this term "microwave dj". Right now, I've got my american audio cd player and stanton tt set up in the kitchen, pretty close to the microwave (that's the only space available in my small apartment studio). How do I use the microwave in my sets? Right now, my laptop sits on top of it, while I practice my fades, but I can't figure out how to use it in my sets.

One of my turntables is acting up and someone told me that I could "recalibrated".

How do I go about that?

Is this what they mean?

i79.photobucket.com

no thats not it......first off what is the turntable doing?

he's making a joke cause you got ur stuff next to your microwave in the kitchen

Hey! What model is that? I have M5Gs and they don't have any of those buttons. I wonder if I got shafted.

I have never seen those buttons either especially on a mk2

I think that's an MK2M... but I can't be sure.

Looks more like the new Technics model. 1200 A-KIE-M2 edition. I think it is limited or seomthing?

this is the best discussion in the whole forum !!! Thanks Tony for all your help, i didn't know you are an expert for turntables also. I live in germany and we don't know so much about that sh#t. Can you help me with my weight? Sometimes i spin only, sometimes i try to scratch, so i thought, 45 degrees for scratching and normal position for mixing, so i turned my needles about 22.5 degrees, which looks cool, but i am not sure with the weight. Somebody told me, to turn it and use with 2.5, but i have problems with mixing, i have a pic added. please help...
i251.photobucket.com
i don't know what's wrong, i have a bad sound..

DJ Art Pumpin Payne you might want to also go to college and DJ at the same time. I'm a Mechincal Engineer for Lockheed Martin and I DJ corporate events on the weekends. I pulled in 30g's last year as a DJ. With my day job I'm easily making over 100k a year. I think your parents would buy you the mixer if you agreed to go to college. You can DJ all the college parties which would be very cool. Just a thought.

Smooth, I think you ahve to use 45 degrees, not 23, that is what TONY LITTLE said, and he really seems to know what he is talking about. Glad we finally have someone who knows the deal.

*thumbs up*

yeah, i have to try it, but i thought i scratch and mix 50/50 so i chose the middle. i think i have problems with the weight. did you check my pic?

Smooth B...................The needle right, thats the best way for scratching cause the needle is more stable. for the weight, what the hell is doing in the front? put the weight in the back where it is supposed to be. when you put the weight on, keep turning it until you can't go any further and set the Anti-skate to "0"

TONY, but I think if you scratch it is good to have weight there in the front! Good looking out Smooth!

yeah but a good DJ told me, to turn the weight to the other side but if i play "real" vinyl it sounds distorted, with SSL the sound is ok

Absolutly not!!!!!!!!!!!! you will break your needle and damage your vinyl because there is way too much weight in the front.

Just do it the way I said and you will see

yes......but the weight on the back of the tone arm where it is suppose to be abd turn the weight around so the numbers are facing you and then set the anti-stake to 0

oh man, you're right, this is my 3rd needle this week, i was angry with my dealer but it seems it's my fault. thanks man, keep on doing this great job!

if you can, take another picture and let me see what you did this time

Ya know .. It's the little people that make the difference. With their great big hearts and souls. It's good to be in such a great online community. Together we can and will become all we can be.

if you say the weight is the problem i removed it and now i use some coins, it's seems to be much better !!!!!! this trick i got from a pro, try it !

i251.photobucket.com

pennies are better, good job smooth

are you sure the needle is ok? i don't want to damage something...

Damn it. So that's what I was doing wrong too. Some guy at GC told me the same thing about the weight. Good looking out DJ Smooth B.

:)


Tony, I have another question.


Someone mentioned something about microwaves and now I'm thinking that maybe they meant radiowaves. I'm confused. Can you clarify that for me?

I thought u were supposed to use quarters. :(

Uhm... twizzle, I don't think this belongs to this board.

lmao

DJ TONY LITTLE...

Can I do the 45 degree to this table? My friend wants to know. I don't have those tables... but he does. Notice the cool tonearm.


images4.thomann.de

I had a job interview today and the interviewer asked what do I do for free time. I took out my iphone and showed him this thread and he said so you dj huh, and i said yeah, but im getting help cause I like to learn.
He said maybe if i get hired i could do their picnics and stuff.
I told him that would be nice, but I have to charge them, cause that's what we dj's do.
I told him Im pretty expensive at $15 an hour for gigs.
He said great.

I think he wants to hire me now.

so, the weight is working fine now, but i have another question: my records only plays about 4 minutes, but i have a lot of songs with longer playtime. Maybe i washed them too hot, how do you guys so this? it's annoying, when SSL jumps to the INT-mode every song i play. Do i need new records?

i251.photobucket.com

I heard those little ones are good for baby scratches.

You're not supposed to wash your records in hot water.... something to do with warping... but I see shrinking is also an issue.

i put them in the dishwasher on the lowest temperature... is that a problem?

Potscrubber Mode really gets the dirt out of the grooves.

im not little, i'm actually 5'10

Smooth B..........take off the pennies, it looks rediculous. Put the weight in on the back and push it forward till it can;t go anymore. make sure the numbers on the weight are facing you. set the anit-skate to "0"

sixxxxx.......it;s not the turntable, is the headshell of the needle is what allows you put it at that angle

if you say it's better i'll try it. a lot of my friends making jokes with me. i really want to learn it. thanks

there are 2 sides of the vinyl a 10 min and 15 min. when it reaches the end of the vinyl, it does jump into internal mode but the song will still be playing. as the song is still playing, put the needle back to the beginning of the record and it will jump back into absolute mode or rel. mode

Ooooooooh. Now you tell me!!!!


So, it doesn't matter if the tonearm is straight or S shaped? I can do it to either as long as I use the right headshell?

I think I'm going to have to sell my Virtual DJ if I want to buy the SL1. The 57 is nice but I think it's out of my league. :(


Anyway, is there a way (if I ever did get the 57) to use it as an SL1? I"m just curious. Would that work?

i heard about this, but mine will play only about 4min. mine are smaller i guess, have you heard about a problem like this?
i251.photobucket.com

Yes that is correct

The SL is already built into the 57

I never knew serato made those records and every dj store I have ever been in, never once did i see them. U need to buy the original vinyls

you mean they fooled me ?

DJ Smooth B. is a midget, so I think he got them at the DJ store for midgets.

I know the SL is inside the 57. What I meant was if, say you can't use the 57 as a mixer, can u use it like you would an SL1 and hook up another mixer to it?

I like my numark mixer.

Good question. I saw this brought up in another thread.

We know we are wrong Steve Dub, that is why Tony is helping us to get better and not do dumb noobish things.

Nope. DJ TONY LITTLE is always right. He's been providing lots of good info.

Thanks again DJ TONY LITTLE!

Yeah, Sixxx... that's why I like my SL-1 because I can use my Denon X1500 with it. But when I get the 57 for video, I'm not sure what I'm going to do. Maybe I'll hook up the Denon into one of the channels on the 57. That would give me like 10 channels!

Vote DJ TONY LITTLE for mod in 2009!

Vote DJ TONY LITTLE for mod in 2009!

I made a new mix.....it will be on my myspace in a few minutes

Cool. Ill have to check it out so I can learn how to beatmatch.

Do you ever use songs with extended intros? I heard those can help me. If so, where can I find them?

U just have to be creative when making your own mixes

The new mix is up on my page its called "Give it to me remix" WWW.myspace.com

i do. I use funkymix. They are so sweet. they have scratching too, like its really me.

sixxx, Okay, I knew cold water will make mine shrink, but hot water? I always had the feeling like mine liked warmness and hotness... :)



Hey, no more p0rn on the forum please, DJ TONY LITTLE

i'm out for now, be on lata

sixxx, Okay, I knew cold water will make mine shrink, but hot water? I always had the feeling like mine liked warmness and hotness... :)



Hey, no more p0rn on the forum please, DJ TONY LITTLE

What an awesome Remix! DJ TONY LITTLE for President!

Yo Tony Little, I was just wondering, how did you get your name? Are you an excercise geek or something else???

damnit.... my mac is broken... Tony can you fix it???

You seem to be the jack of all trades here.

Whats wrong Kagen, I'm not that savvy, but I do know the difference between ram and harddrive gigs now.

Me too ... seems to me there is a microwav fix for it. I think I read that about a mile back.

Tony, maybe you should change your name and start over again.

No. Tony told me the microwave is just peeps crackin' jokes...I'm glad he told me cuz I almost put my cv's in my microwave to make my mixes hot!

now tony at least doubled his clicks on myspace :-) vote for him, lets do 10.000 clicks in a few days !

i dont have his myspace address

www.myspace.com <-- here you go

Thanks TONY LITTLE for all the new info. Hit the board up when your back. I've a few more questions - about mixtapes.

lol----lol----lol

i've just looked at the video mashup tony did on his myspace and i'm considering telling him that when you do a video mashup, you would normally use the VIDEO from the song that has the words in it.

the justin timberlake VIDEO with the michael jackson acappella singing completely different words is, well,.. interesting.

roflmfaoatpm!

bwhahaaaahahaa :)

HEy wait.. you can see MJs video later. And it is totally in sync all the time!!

Good Work Tony!!

Ok, someone explain me... why do so many "professional" artists upload and host their pics on some shitty free space like tinypic, imageshack etc...? I mean not a temporary pic, but a permanent pic ... someone explain please.

Politics my friend, politics.

Tony Little - Tinypic.com There are special relationships involved.

Ohhhh, I see. So Tony LITTLE gets paid to promote tinypic.

Ah, now that makes perfect sense. Thanks Matt!

Np Bro ... And your right nik39 .. It does makes perfect sence!

Tony here!!!!!

It's about damn time!

I do have a social life.......I cant just be on the computer all day long

Me too but, I needed to take a Betty Ford day today.

whats that.........lol

LMAO........tiny pic does not pay me to promote. That would b nice though

Betty Ford Clinic ... Where all the stars go to dry out for about 30 days cause it's the cool thing to do.

hey, it's my buddy DJ kagen. I told him about this smart guy here named Tony Little that was helping everybody.

Kagen has a problem with his one of his 3 Macs. He told me that his G5 Powerbook has become undependable and crashes every 5 minutes with a Blue Screen and has tons of Viruses and Pop ups.

I told him if ANYBODY can help this sharp dude on the Serato forum can named Tony Little.

Kagen sold me his DELL when he bought the G5 Powerbook because he knew I always wanted one so I feel bad now. He may want me to give him the DELL back but I have gotten so used to it.

DELL makes great computers and Windows Vista is the SHIT!

DJ TONY LITTLE, do you know stuff about mixtapes? I got a couple of questions.


Do you know how to do intros? I wanna make a tight intro but don't know where to start.

I want to too. I am going to pull the audio from ahmad back in the day for the word puma as in when he says, "puma shoes with the fat laces." Throw someone saying dj in front of it, but after that I have no clue. Ive heard people have many beats of little snippets of lyrics on theirs, but I don't know where to start.

when he bought his mac, it should have came with a software installation cd. tell him so save all of his files on a external hardrive and re-install the Mac-os software again. once its done, his computer will run like its brand new

Yo Tony...I installed Leopard on my Mac but I think I want to go back to Tiger because it seems like SSL takes longer to load now. How do I downgrade to Tiger without having to install all my apps that I installed while I was using Leopard. I got the Video-SL working and I don't want to chance it and lose my authorization code I picked up from Limewire. What do you think?

You have to re-install the tiger again. if you didnt delete the code from limewire, it should still be in there. I sent you a private discussion, look at it

you're gonna get warned or banned for asking

tony when I put the needle on the record it makes a high pitch noise what is that?

also, when I am trying to use the left turntable, on the computer screen the right one is the one playing the track, why?

uuummmm...are you serious?

yes. do I have a defective serato box?

maybe Tony has a brother...

I need help. Where is tony?

I think he gets the point. On a real note, my friend keeps asking me if people can really use video on SL-1 and I have the 57SL so I can't try it, can you?

huh?

no you need the 57.

I got the 57SL. I'm asking if anyone has really use the SL1 box for video?

you cant. you need a 57 for video.

Make sure you plugged your rca's in the right way

sometimes when you are plugging your rca's in the interface, you make mix up the connections by mistake. I have done it a thousand times, sometimes i still do it.

and make sure when putting the rca's in the interface, they have to be in the "Line" outputs.

do you mean if I plug it into phone rcas it will work correctly?

oh line.

is that another word for master outs?

put your left turntable in "Input 1" your right turntable in "Input 2" then from channel 1 of your mixer into line 1 of your interface, then from channel 2 of your mixer into line 2 of the interface.

YES.....There are phono (Thru) outputs and line outputs.

I just had to come in her and say thanks again DJ TONY LITTLE. The 45 degree angle is working great on my Shure needles.

Thanks again!

yup, i fixed my weight, i'll never put my records in the dishwasher again now i have to learn beatmatching or i have to wait till autoscratch

is this the thread you guys were all talking about? i still have no idea what these meetings are though.

Hello, is anyone there?

yep

Ok just making sure.

I just started using Video-SL on my Atari 800. Little Tony, are you out there? I have some questions.

Oh man ... and just when things were getting a little stale around here.

Anyone know for sure if the sl1 will eventually work with the video plug. Ive been doing video for some time with a numark dvd 01 avm02 and monitors as well. Cool se tup but i gotta carry dvds. Im itching to buy the rane mixer but i still havent got over not waiting for the rane mixer. Dont want to buy it then come out in two months. Also, has anyone had luck running virtual dj with sl1
thanks

Someone else have at this .. I'm tapping out.

i wouldnt count on it anytime soon. i'm also saying it will suck unless it comes with a dedicated interface for crossfading videos, controlling effects, etc. its not all about forcing you to buy a new mixer, that mixer has controls for working with video. an sl-1 does not. doing all that shit on a keyboard, along with all your ssl shortcuts is gonna get mad confusing.

you can keep hoping for SL-1 support but i'm personally hoping they don't do it. they're getting enough grief for video already, i can't imagine what they will get when all these guys try to use video with no controls and complain about all the keyboard shortcuts they have to use or worse, they just skip those features and only have basic videos where you have to manually crossfade between videos using your keyboard or some janky midi setup.

+1

Yeah you might be able to play the vids, but you won't be able to crossfade them or have any transition effects like 57 gives.

exactly. everyone seems to think a midi mixer is a replacement for the 57 and they should just make video work with midi.

thanks a-swift. I have read the threads and there is a lot of conflicting info. Seems like you what your talking about. Although i do have numark avm02 which is specifically for video. I run serato on two channels and dvd players on the other. It is pretty cool with some cool efx, and two crossfaders which can work together with video and music or seperately like if you just want to run visuals. Howevever i gotta carry around dvds and i cant scratch video. So i got a video mixer that i paid about 6 bills for, so as far as having a video mixer I got it covered....On a seperate note ive heard people are running virtual dj with serato, is this really possible?

Unoficially if you got the asio drivers you can do it.
Not sure how well it works though. Never have done or attempted to do it.

SL1 Box and VDJ works very well especially if your using like a dac 3 controller. Dac 2 responds a bit slower but still works well.

You can use VDJ's Time coded vinyl on VDJ with a SL1 Box but ...
Put it this way ... "There is nothing like Serato"

The ttm57 will work with VDJ but, Not the time coded vinyl. (As of 1 month ago. This may be different by now.)

thanks for the info matt and puma

VDJ works great with an SL-1 box. And you don't need a "VIDEO" mixer for the Serato video. The video mixing is built INTO the software itself. So a video mixer does you no good. The 57 is a controller for the video mixing built into VSL. That's the point I think people are mixing. Then they say, well a midi mixer can do everything the 57 can do and more.

I say, anyone who is saying that has either never used midi for application control (other than simple triggers and such). MIDI is a *really* simple protocol and has no way of implementing some of the basic shit that the 57 already does. You're NOT gonna get the entire midi protocol changed in order to get the 57 functionality over midi control. Ain't gonna happen.

Take a really simple example, a line fader on a midi controller. When you start up your application with a line fader set at 50% and you look at your application, most likely the control that fader is controlling is set to zero or the default. The application has no way to request, over midi, what the state of the fader is. You have to MOVE the fader in order for the application to know where it is.

Do the midi people understand why this is important?

A-Swift you da man. When's the next time you're going to be playing video live? I would like to come out and check it. I would of asked a long time ago but I didn't know you were from CA.

Get em swift!

A moderator would probably have the best answer so maybe he can help with this question. I currently use a sl 1 box and mixer to Dj. I want to stay current with the newest in technology when it comes to mixers, video, and production equipment so my question is also my dilehmma. I want to upgrade my mixer to the new empath and continue to use the sl 1 box but with the introduction of video-sl it seems as if thats a bad move if i want the new video capabilities. Is their a definite release date of a video-sl version that will work with the box or do i have to purchase the ttm-57 to take part in scratch video. I need some info. What should i do?

Im not sure if it will ever work with the SL1. I just bought a 57 and I love it.
I don't think they did it as a ploy to sell more 57's. It just seems too hard to do all that you can do with video without the 57 being incorporated into the mix.

If you want video now, I'd get a 57. I honestly don't think they'd give a release date unless it's real soon, but as I stated earlier the features will be limited.

lack of actaul info for the amount of posts - almost bein 500 i thougt i slept and it was here already!
this vdj is soudin like its gona be the only thing 2 keep the itch down until it drops for the sl1 or i get maself employed n get the £800 for the 57...
was sorta hoping it wouldnt be much of the 57 functionality coz as u sed about the vdj - all the video mixin seems 2 be program based just controlled from the 57 , but SL picks up differentails in levels through the sl1 so i thought itd be kinda the same script ( select preffed effect -be it linear tiles) as the video plugin runs seperate although alongside so when u load a paired video/audio it recognises the cue and there u go.. with some keyboard shortcut additions of course n some other control record corss compatable functions..
i mean the 57 is a quality peice of kit , and the sl1 looks slick - i dont wanna get stuck carting around some duffus add on for ma macbook ( check the vestax vcm 100)
just when things started 2 get simplistic again...
also take it from earlier requests for auth codes that 'in theory' if i was to install 1 on my macbook and 1 on my pc id be ok aslong as 1 of them was to stay offline?
i like having the pc with its almost jamp packed memory for tryin anythin and everythin out and puttin only whats essential onto the laptop...
really though , should i be focussing on saving for the 57 more than a realistic release of a sl1 compatable video plugin?

Cheers to all the long time thinkers
Chad

that really take me 10minutes to type? haha well least i know theres still no deffinate answer....
just cant stop thinkin about the plugin - it was an awe filled moment when ma mate brought down his new 57, ten foot screen , good beats and a crazy porn juggle..
gonna see when he next fancies a jam :(

fancies a jam? i like it. i need to get out of the US.

Pardon, waht?

wtf? is soon-2 rockin video now too?

guess not then - sorry it was like the early hours and id done ma best 2 read all the posts since i last had a scope on here , im takin ma sl1 for more than its worth i guess then, but workin in partnmershipwith a mixer surely - im just meanin when u join the track with the video, and internals pick up ur high picthed where the hell its at on the record or cd noise its as easy as telling them both to play ( easy not the ideal word) but u tellin me this goes right over ur head?
likewise usin extra keyboard shortcuts and the extra control sufaces on teh vinyl to navigate through the video plugin options such as crossfade effect( bout the only option that matters for it now)
keep in mind iv not really slept since either so if this still makes nae sense then sorry.

n swift , if uv got a 57 ur always welcome over for a jam , sesh , call it what u wish- ma cuts will be worthy of self harm but thats coz m still rockin ma djm600(s)

Im here..........whats up

Guys who is this new moderator? I gotta few issues with my 57sl.

Guys who is this new moderator? I gotta few issues with my 57sl.

tony is not a moderator. just a helpful guy

Make that very knowledgeable and helpful guy. Thanks DJ TONY LITTLE!

Hi Tony, glad you are back. Man people have been having problems for days since U have been gone.

TONY LITTLE"S HELP DECK IS OPEN - The doctor is in!

I know man, he seems to know everything about everything except SSL!!!

he was able to help me figure out I had my rcas plugged in wrong. Now I can rock shows with only minor dropouts.

Tony, I really wanna be a world class dj, how do I get outta South Africa and spin all over the world like others??

Really?? I got many dropouts I'll check my cables too, my virtuall decks are spinning anti-clockwise too, what can I do?

a 45 degree angle on your needles may be the solution.... :P

Hope this makes me a world-class dj too!!!

Thanks to you guys I'm now on a flight to NY, (sixx and Tig'ol bitties!). Too bad Tony aint here, been hearing some great things about him!!!

Unless you know people, thats how you become big in NY. If I was you, i wouldn't actually get on that plane yet.

Drop outs is caused from your USB Ports on your laptop/computer. Has nothing to do with wires/cables.

Try adding more Ram/Memory to your computer or laptop. That will help big time.

Well I'm still at the airport, they won't let my SSL thru anyway. Next time perhaps, thanks Tony!

Well I live in South Africa and my dad has many rams, I dont think he'd let me use his livestock. what now?

like eder said. grab life by the horns.

this thread

so funny

so sad


seriously though, I was disappointed at first that video-sl doesn't work on the sl1 right now. But after toying around with virtual dj I can see why it's much better to "just" use the ttm57, as it seems nearly impossible to mix records and simultanously use an extra midi controller to create something that's worth looking at.

TCV on VDJ Blows

(no homo)

threads aswell as dead , time better spent busking and saving for a 57- or i guess wait for something in the news-
As for most of you's , well im sure all the jacking off you consider time well spent

Help!!!! I wanna play music videos just like JJ Jackson and Martha Quin.

Which joystick port do I use for the TTM57??????

I know it's a joke, but there's a plugin in VDJ to use a playstation controller.
That sounds pretty fun actually, haven't tried it though.

you can do that in serato too. just use a game controller to midi translator. or game controller to keystroke translator.

Now that i have a new 57SL what am I to do with my still new SL1 Box. Any suggestions?

I just hooked up my DDR dance pad to Serato... I'm fly like that.

you never plan to do a gig where you cant bring your own mixer? never plan to multi-track a serato recoding?

lots of reasons to keep an SL-1. if you dont see any, then sell it on ebay.

Is anybody using their Video SL on gigs yet and if so what kind of display do you use. Projector, plasmas, etc. Do you use it in the clubs and plug it into their setup or bring your own display in.
Is the video-sl something you use to make your local warehouse party a little cooler or is it a functional peice of nightclub equipment.
Is it worth it to purchase if your a Dj in the nightclubs and lounges that usually have thier own setup or is Video-Sl the best way to enhance your mobile DJ service or personal performances.
I guess i just wanna know how and what kind of DJ's are putting the new VSL software to use.

i use it in full blown clubs. i plug into their switcher and you see my videos on a whole bunch of screens through the venue.

I've done clubs with it (straight into their video switchers), at frat house parties (projectors with screens) and at high school dances (projectors with screens). They all work perfectly.

think I just made the biggest mistake; bought a macbook yesterday, anyone out there using one for vids, if so what are you specs?

Yup. 2.0GHz, 2GB ram, 250GB internal.

I'm using a macbook for vids. 2.0GHz core 2 duo. 2 megs of RAM (or goats)

It runs perfect.

return it

sixxx...you got 2 megs of RAM??? How do you do it? haha.

I followed DJ TONY LITTLE'S advice. :)

hahahaha

2 Gigs (not club gigs) :P

LOL, I'ma upgrade me then! thanks ladies.

noob. With TONY LITTLE's help, I can spin 2 different club gigs at once!

hahahaha! my laptop's atually on its own in the club as we speak...

is Tony Little THE TONY LITTLE, the physical trainer from back in the day?

damn, i just wanted to check the myspace from TONY again, but his account was deleted. -> www.myspace.com

WWW.MYSPACE.COM That Is my new myspace.

dope!

lol

DJ TONY LITTLE,


You need to change where it says to "I NOW SPIN MUSIC VIDEOS"

to the standard which is.....


"TELETUBBY IN EFFECT"

sixxx i think "TELETUBBY IN EFFECT" is slang only cool DJs would know. i'm not sure his customers would know it or not. i use it on my myspace page though.

Yeah. I use it on myspace and also on my business cards.

I also printed t-shirts.

god this thread has saved my life. tony did you ever think of starting your own web site where people like us can have a direct line to someone as knowledgeable as yourself? you could post articles, tips & tricks, and all that good stuff. I would definitely visit that more that scratchlive.net. the people here are useless.

damn.... you guys are so shallowed

The SL1 can be used for videos.....











just not with serato.

i rock VDJ. i rock with VOB files. DVD quality. low CPU utilization. ON A PC! let's see you do that with serato.

oh yeah, i do all that with my SL-1. now what?

lol

I just pooped. Forget Obama, Tony Little for Prez!

I don't know why but this was just to FUNNY!...lol

WWW.myspace.com check it out

Tony, why you using TMF videos in your mixes? I thought you said you got all the hooks ups for videos...or did you mean the cable guy hooked you up with all the music channels on the downlow?

I'm pretty sure thats the way the vids came from Promo Only. We aren't on a level high enough to question DJ TONY LITTLE.

TONY LITTTLE YOU ARE AWESOME I SPENT 1 HOUR READINGG THIS THREAD I HAVE BEEN HAVING QUESTIONS ABOUT SSL AS IVE HAD IT FOR 6 MOTNHS CUZ STILL CANT IT TO WORK RRIGHT!

MUSICS PLAY FINE THROUGH LAPTOP BUT I STILL HEARING A FAINT BEEP FROM MY NEEDLE. IS MY NEEDLE GOING BAD? I NEED TO KNOW SOON IM PLAYING TONIGHT FOR A JAMBOREE

TONY LITTLE WHERE ARE YOU???

WHERE ARE YOU SPINNING AT THIS WEEK I LIVE IN NYC AS WELL AND REALLY WANNA SEE YOUR SET THANKS

Hi guys. I just read this whole thread, and I think most of my questions got answered except that I use PCDJ Red. Can I use the VDJ control vinyls with my gemini TTs and PCDJ Red? I already have tons of music stored in PCDJ red and I don't want to get torq. Will this work?

I made that before I started getting my videos from promo only........ask before you assume or make smartass remarks. And that goes for everyone else.

I may be spinning @ Gypsy Tea Nightclub on W.24th st. btwn 5th & 6th aves...........not postive yet, will get back to you

I got new music on my myspace page.......go and check them out

www.myspace.com

You didnt answer my question about the beeping through my needles. Please be kind and help me as you helped all of the others!

i tried the 45 degrees angle and it didnt stop the beeping and i think it broke my needle!

DJ Tony, did you see my question?

Tony Little has time to answer everyone else's question but not mine, looks like i may have to cancell the Jamboree

^^ Mine too! Damnit Tony Little, I need your help.

you guys need to get OFF tony little. give the guy a break. why dont you answer some of his questions instead of always asking him questions? do you think he gets out of bed every morning eager to come help you newbies figure out how to use serato? i seriously doubt it.

like this sixxx guy, what is this guys problem. is he a total newbie or what? sixxx here is some advice, give tony little a rest and read the manual for once. this guy is not your personal serato support.

that goes for the rest of you too. read the manual and give tony little a rest.

But the manual doesn't say which joystick port I should use on my Atari 800 to hook up the TTM57 and play videos like J.J. Jackson and Martha Quin. And Little Tony never answered my question.

Do I have to upgrade to a 520ST?????

Does martha quin even have any videos? I'm older than tony and I don't know so i doubt he knows.

Oh my god TONY! I just had the most AWESOME idea. I'm gonna share it with you but please don't steal it and make all the money yourself without me. Matter of fact I have a patent on the idea so you can't steal it.

Obviously there are a LOT of people who are clueless when it comes to serato so WE should help them out and start a hotline! I'll handle the business aspect of it, and you can work the phones,.. I mean if that's ok with you. Can you imagine how much money WE could make? Here is the kicker, the name, number and website could all be:

1-800-ASK-TONY

I am patting myself on the back for that idea right now. I've had some pretty good ideas in the past but nothing like this. Imagine the possibilities!

ummmm... Shocked.. Well that's one word that ocmes to mind. Naw.. How about WOW!!!

Dis thread is likings a book, read a book playa i own dis lil club in lil fauchemeier deutsch if yous hoe wanna get more gigs holla at a pimp - Gramschatzerstr. 43
97261 Güntersleben
Germany

I wanna battle Tony Little.

I hear a new Gatorade commerical coming on "i wanna be like Tony" he's greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeat

(Damn i vomited in my mouth)

be right

LOL

Man I had the idea of a help site for Tony a few posts back. Damn it A-Swift.

Where the fuck is tony? Off selling gazelles or something?

say his name 3 times and he'll arrive like beetlejuice

nice fuckin model

i hope he hasn't taken my idea and just ran with it. i'll be pissed.

Dj Briguy................Saturday March 15th i'll be spinning @ Gypsy Tea nightclub

Check out the flyer on my myspace www.myspace.com

OMFG!!! The beetlejuice thing worked..

You can you your control vinyls with the gemini's but not with PCDJ.........Those vinyls are only coded to work with VDJ

Dude... I heard you are the guru on this Serato stuff. Im over here in Iraq right. But i can figure out why these damn platters don't move on my CDJ's. Is there a way i can place a marker on them like you do with vinyl? Also, if the platter doesn't move are they broke? Man i'm sorry to overload you with questions. but nobody here seems to know. Im thinking about moving back to denon's cause i know their plater moves.

CDJ platters don't spin...........Only the Denon cd players like the dn-s5000 dn-s3500 the platter spins

but how do i mark where it's spinning on the inside? I keep losing my place when i'm trying to scratch. Screen is too far to look at (sigh) i guesss i should have gotten the Denons..


walks away with head down....

Thanks Tony.. you still rock

stay with the cdj's...........they have a real scratch effect just like a vinyl. The denon's have a digital scratch sound effect which isn't real like a vinyl.

what cdj's you have, the 800's or 1000's?

1000's

Hey Tony..

So i'm looking at the decks right. I see where it says rev and fwd by the platter. How do you pitch bend with them. Im tired of using the pitch control to adjust the speed? Any tips?

well anyway that doesn't matter if your using serato with your cdj's cause with the 1000's you can save 3 cue pionts to the cd player itself and on the serato you can save 5 cue points.

Mark your cue points on your serato program itself and they will automatically save. you will never have to do it again from the cd player itself.

the pitch control is the only basic way unless you have your cdj's connected and you spin the platter to try and catchthe matching beat from the other player.

can i spin the platter using serato?

if your cdj's are connected to it then yes........but not using Int. mode

Little Tony, what about my questions??????????????????

cool. Thanks man. Keep em hating

i'll answer them tomorrow..........gotta go to bed, got work early

I must have a problem then cause, my CDX's are spinin in real time. I try to stop em but it only stops the music.

There is no problem, he thought the platters on the CDJ's spin like the Denon's

TONY TONI TONE
any word on why my needles are beeping?

Are you talking about when you put the needle on the vinyl, before you actually load a song into one of the decks you hear a long, continuous beep sound?

ya something like that... i think my needles died because it makes the same beep noise that a dead person makes in the hospital. someone told me that is serato's way of telling you to change the needles????!?!?!?

if you got the platter spinning and you put the needle on the vinyl, don't load a song into any of the decks. If you hear that long continuous beep sound, that means it's setup right. After, load a song into the same deck that the platter is spinning, if you don't hear the beepp sound, your good to go

just make sure all of your rca wires are connected in the right slots. When you connect the wires from the interface to the mixer, make sure the wires are plugged into "line" in the interface box

i hear music fine but i still hear a beep through the needles... like if i turn the music down on my boombox i can still hear a beep coming from the actual needle, not through the speakers. are they dead? :(

no they are not dead........i would recommend the Shure m44-7 needles, the last longer on serato vinyls.

If you can't hear the beep noise when you crank up the volume, then your needles are fine.

Yo BriGuy............I'm spinning @ Gypsy Tea nightclub on Saturday March 15th. It's Located on w. 24th st between 5th & 6th aves.

i already use Shure m44-7 needles.

i see you said that SSL has auto beat match. Where is this feature i cant find it!

Dude, what am I supposed to do with my PCDJ red?

SSL has Auto Beat Matching.. Hell naw. Yall been holding out.

@Tony.. Ok so the platter on my CDj 1000's spin for pitch bending, but how can i make them spin all the time. I think they're broke :-( (sighs) I got took for a ride. I know i should copped the Denon's

The Pioneers DO NOT Spin....the digital screen in the middle of the platter is the only thing that spins, not the platter itself.

Get rid of it

There isn't a digital screen in the middle of the Denons.

I made a mistake, I ment to say VDJ has auto beat matching, not SSL

damn Tony. you killin me. I just wrote a nasty message to Sam cause i thought my SSL was defected... I hope sam understands. I was pretty heated..

Yo Young Herrera. nice set on sTickam. Do yo have to have 2 laptops in order to get on live.

I still think my cdjs are broke.

TONY LITTLE do you ever broadcast on stickam? you should broadcast live from your club this weekend

+5 bump

We need to clone this guy - he's the only one who helps us jabronies.

I think my slipmats are crooked.. wtf.

I'm not a jabronie, i'm a fugazzi.

yo ltizzzle, thanks. Yeah 2 laptops, one for broadcasting and one for ssl I need all my ROM for making sure I can see the waveforms clearly so they don't jump around or stutter. which one did you watch?

you was playing some house i think bro. But fuck that. My cdj's are broke tony i don't care what you say. My cdj are suppose the spin damn it. I saw Young and his spin. Why can't they get their shit str8. Come on tony give me something. cause i'm bout to send them back due to half ass spinning.

ok Yeah Young i think you it was house, but you was working those denons. nice mats by the way. My pioneers are broke... (sigh)

my CDJ's spin. I think you'rres are broken TIZZLE. Call Pioneer

you forgot to lube them... your loss, my spin freely all day long, and night, and while surfing porn..... unstoppable...


but my slipmats... are fuckin crooked.

See Tony.. Even Briguy said my CDJ's are broke.

ya ur CDJ's are broken, TONY has no idea what hes talking about in regards to CDJ's. All of them should spin.

briguy is right. they are supposed to spin. but you might have the kind of cdj with no moter installed. seriously LTIZZLE. check to see if they are the ones with moters in them. if they dont have moters in them, they will spin but you have to make them spin with your hands. if they are the real cdjs (not the fake knockoffs from china), you should be able to use the side of the wheel to bend the tempo too.

trust me on this. i usually spin on turntables but i have been on REAL cdj many times.

I would take apart your CDJ to see if the motor is there. Some of the screws are hard to get off so u might have to go to home depot and get some spare screws.... some may need drilled out!

mine are perpetual.... I'm not going to call NASA either... no way.
