Sup fam. Nick is here in the office in NZ hanging out before his flight home. Ask him anything.

heya Nick hope kiwis treated you ok whilst here?

@thesifter yea they did. maybe 2 well to be honest. !

Who is the dude in your avatar?

feeling dodgy mate b4 flight , surely thats standard!!!

@samuel s it's this dude formerly known as eddie, now known as hercules .. he's in artist relations. on of the greatest men of all time

Is there any reason why Serato hasn't taken ahold of the requests for a MIDI interface (akin to Traktor's with parameters, multi mapping, etc)?

Also, when will Serato decide to implement an additional array of effects including a working gaiter and other effects?

And do you feel that as an artist that works with Serato, your input/requests will affect their programmers and new patches?

@dj4lmntz sup bro

i normally attach my goat cloak to my tackle too, especially when its cold.

@dj4lmntz yes 100%.. i've spent the past week down here with 80 people talking about amazing things, that i feel like we all want and need, and they are all very interested in listening.. i had to sign a form but i can say that i feel very excited to be working with serato now and that they are onto some really amazing.. crazy. innovative things right now.

Was that HOT roti curry too spicy?

@jermnz only time will tell

WHITE VINYL, When's that coming back?

We've got new FX coming for sure. Lots in the pipeline :)

Very wise answer.

i stole all the rest

hey nick & sam how you both doing hope all is good on your side..
can ask who you calling on the remote app
fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net
how was your time with sam any new gear coming up down the road?

@nickhook lucky guy lucky guy LOL. that would be awesome though, to grab a few pairs of those. especially if they re did them as performance vinyls

hey Nick - I need a new DJ name - can you help?

I'd like to introduce it at a gig that I am not ready for this weekend and was also wondering if you had any suggestions for the music?

It is a classic rock gig with grunge. I normally play ratchet hood rap and deep house.

Can you help me???

<kidding - gave you a typical day of new posts here on the serato forum> welcome...

i was callin a couple hoes that needed pipe... but they didnt answer...


me and sam had the best time.. theres mad new shit but its super secret. so i gotta keep my big mouth shut...... but extremely exciting and things i been really hoping and dreaming of for a while...

also fell in love with the DDJ SSX.

hajajjajaa... sick.. its my first time on here. im with it.

Who the --beep-- are you anyways?

just some idiot really

What's that book you've been reading? Any good facts?

ohh shit i was banging my head for weeks on which one i should get out of the 380 or SX i went for the 380 but felt like the sx should be the one ...

Quick ... Addition/ suggestion to the Serato team: would it be possible or would you consider putting a development timeline on the website. While I don't expect details per say, an idea as to when a new release (software, media or hardware) would be awesome.

you dont know who nick is and your in to music lol

What do you use to DJ? And did you contribute anything to Run the Jewels besides recording?

SX is the one for me. has all the feel of things i love (cdjs/ pioneer djm 800) so it kinda feels natural right away.. so much fun.

primarily turntables + serato--- was down here using the DDJ SX for a performance video and ive had alot of fun on it.. or cdjs and a usb.

i just engineered vocals and was a spirit animal on run the jewels but i used to play live with el-p in 2010 and he's on my record rappppin.

would of be cool if you done a live stream from serato HQ show the boys how its done..

Hi Nick!

Session view or Arrangement view?

Bye Nick!

ITS GONNA BE UP IN LIKE A WEEK. 6 CAMERAS AND SHIT.. WAS INSPIRED BY A GIANT BOTTLE OF MAKERS MARK.

HAHA!

we got that 75yr old Kevin Garnett in the post man, dude collecting boards and his pention right now LOL!

Word!

Werd sirens is my joint. Im still trying to figure out ableton but I get discouraged. Any advice on learning how to make music? Im fucking 30 already, I think Im too old for this shit.

DEPENDS... DOE.. ACTUALLY PUSH REALLY JUST BROUGHT EDIT TO A NEW REALM BUT USUALLY I LIKE ARRANGEMENT CUZ IT KEEPS ME THINKING OF SONGS

DRUGS

JR SMITH JUST GONNA GIVE EM ALL THE PIPE

hahaha. Yeah if that were true Id have a fuckin grammy.

ADDERAL

ADDERAL

So I was just playing around with my iPad, setting up effects and whatnot. I realized that you (Nick) were on so I left my booth, grabbed my hp notebook and turned it on frantically trying to get on the forum to check it out. This trick is updating. PlanB, went mobile.

which controllers do think got the nearest feel to a turntable?

nah man I have a prescription for provigil and that dont even work

not including the NS7

Was Up Dude,,,? When Installing Serato Remote,, Do You Download The App To Your Laptop Or Your IPad????

i dunno. im not too interested in a controller feeling like a turntable.. we got turntables for that.

If you buy it on your laptop you can just sync it to your iPad in iTunes. If you buy it on your iPad it'll just show up there man.

yeah i don't think I've used my turntables since i got a VCI-300

okok i hear you

the nets better sign Herc or something man?

This.

really tho. its a different thing than afrika bambatta playing records in the bronx and if you accept it as that its something that is very stimulating, fun and creative.

Huh??? I am tripping on all these Serato Mods and employees we NEVER see on the forum.

These must be the guys that are locked away - working 24-7 making sure the latest and greatest version of Serato Scratchlive will have all the new COOL features, be ROCK SOLID stable and kick Traktor square in the ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!











Bahhahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

What aahhh gwaarn?

Favourite up and coming artist to look out for right now?

Another Remote question: are their any plans to release this application for us Android users?

Yo Crate, what up son. Not at this stage sorry. Anything is possible in the future though. Have you seen that documentary Blade Runner?

BOOZER GONNA EAT ALL YOUR BABIEZ

ASAP FERG
BAMBANOU
SALVA
REDINHO
DOC DANEEKA
LED ZEPPELIN

Sup Nick!

How did you come up with your DJ name?

yeah for real.. the reason i asking is i used record from 1996 till about 2009/10 never liked cds and i feel the feeling you have playing records is 100x more then the controllers ive had so far with the ns7 being great but to heavy, ns6 great do almost to good the smallest touch it a dead stop and the vci is a cool small good for moving around but somehow a great toy ..

THIS FAN WROTE IN TO MY OLD BANDS MYSPACE AND SAID NICK'S GOT THE HOOKS AND OUR SINGER STARTED CALLING ME HOOK. SO THEN I WAS LIKE IM IN.

THEN I BECAME HOOKEMON.

TRYNA BECOME HOOKULES

BOOZER THE BIGGEST DOUCHEBAG SINCE THEY ACTUALLY INVENTED THE REAL DOUCHEBAG

$HABBA.

Everyone wants to be Hercules

MANY TRY BUT ONLY 1 SUCCEEDED.

Yep - We know they put in work - Big Props and I ain't mad at them - the new things like DJ Intro, Serato Remote, Serato Video, and Serato DJ and other paid Apps increase the revenue stream - creates some cash flow.

We all still love Scratchlive...

REAL TALK THO. WHEN YOU ARE IN NEW ZEALAND BIRDS JUST FLY INTO THE BUILDINGS LIKE ITS NOTHING AND CHILL WITH YOU

nick did you see a beta of the bridge for SDJ any where at back there??

I SEEN MANY THINGS BUT I HAD TO SIGN THIS PAPER THAT THEY WOULD STEAL ALL MY SYNTHS AND STUFF IF TALKED ABOUT IT.

sam send me that paper to sign i would to come see many things to..

Churr bro! Big set at Onra on Saturday, you killed it!

Bring me out to Gambia doe

ME 2 DOE.. TRYNA COME CHILL IN GHANA WITH GYEDU BLEY AMBOLLEY

LOL, doc... Nah. The movie yes.

So Android gets the shaft again. I get it. As a developer in my 9 to 5, we have a much harder time developing for said platform due to all the various screen sizes and somewhat different hardware internals.

Hey sam we all know nick is crazy already, what trouble has he been getting you & him into..

Hey, when is the cdj-2000 Nexus going to go native with Serato SL? Or is it already?

Are you excited to go home to your MIDI ported 808 Nick?

Did you get the 909 ported also?

ACTUALLY IM STOPPING IN LA TO GRAB THE LINN AND HOPEFULLY THE 808 IF ITS DONE.. 909 ALWAYS HAD MIDI AND IT WORKS WELL..

We were rapping on the street last Thursday night. Ate a lot of Ramen. Went on national TV and talked about throwing pipe.

ALL TRUE

OH DUH of course, I was thinking of the 303. You got wun of dem?

Already in there man. Scratch Live 2.5.

Thanks for hanging out Lashes. Keep puttin in work out there in Gambia.

we give each other a hard time brotherly love lol

ohh and nick not such it you seen it the HI5 i made you..
imageshack.us

Android does not get the shaft, you can use TouchOSC and pretty much do the samething if not more....... I use it to control Resolume and Mix Emergency.

Why has SV gotten no love?? I mean when it comes to video VDJ blows you guys out the water.

And what's the deal with all the wasted screen space?? When or are we ever gonna be able to see fx's and samples at the same time?? Ever thought of making those things modular?? Might as well make SV modular while were at........

Why can't I remap my controller with SDJ?? The mapping for the Mixdeck needs a overhaul.

I'll wait for some answers now....

yo chill..

MVC2 MONEY MATCH

Word. Thanks for the feedback man. We're not working on an update for Serato Video right now but we're definitely got plans to develop further at some point in the near future. Have you hit the Serato DJ / Serato Video feature suggestion areas at all?

Yes sir only to brushed away, although I think someone did pickup on the mapping part....

Well y'all have a good night I guess nothing is gonna be changing around here anytime soon, Thanks.

We'll we can't always implement all of the ideas and suggestions we get to be honest. We do listen though. We're out here lurking.

I'm fully aware of other wireless controller applications. I've used them as well. I'm looking at "native" applications as I was impressed by the overall simplicity of it - much like Serato in general.

Well its only as complicated as you make it. I mean other then the text and fx select you could create the same thing.......... just a 'working' suggestion is all.......

How do you feel about this apparent divergence between the EDM for EDM people and the EDM gone pop people? (Best personified by deadmau5 and Afrojack)

Hooks man this has been fun your laff s bro.

Street Shaman Nick Hook - what's the one song you can pull out at any gig, any city and be guaranteed a party?

Also, what are your top three favourite foods?

Great. Only a day late. Classic Bridge.

Sup Bridge!

cool idea! I'm too late, am I? :)

Damn European timezone missing everything

Hiya Karl! Been a while since I been on here ;)

Im curios Crate, do many other software companies do this that you know of?

I'll tell you mine. Ramen, Raviz and KFC hot n spicy.

+1 for Raviz

When I first clicked on this thread, I thought we had a new DJ TA$K on the forums.

Holla, sen~or!

LOL - me too!

Same here

If you were running a race and you passed the person in second place, what place would you be in now?
