@DamianNeate Why would it? He can't base his set entirely on loops, samples and effects for 3 hours straight. Of course he has a track list, and from what I've heard of him so far, he's got great track selection.
@lewisformosa1 You can do some of them, but the EFX-500 doesn't have the sample memory of the 1000. You can loop four beats/one bar on the 500, eight beats/two bars on the 1000. I've used both.
@BurganBrian Thumbs up mate. I see a lot of 'laptop djs suck' comments from people who dont know what on earth is goin on.
For the uninitiated, ableton is NOT a dj software. It can be customized to do that- Like if you used your fighter jets to lift water from the well or something. I do agree it has made the scene over crowded with anyone and everyone tryin their hand at djing. But its not about the tools. Its about the ideas (given that theyre original!).
There's always a way around everything - in this case for a lack of money (for pricey equipment) and for a lack of skills (ie. Zabiela's after-a-lot-of-long-hours-practicing skills). I wanted to spice my sets with cool FX tricks like these, but couldn't afford the gear, so I started looking for a way around it - and guess what - I did. and it works perfectly for me. Hint: you can create edits on your computer before hand! ;)
I don't even use turntables... Scratching is more of a hip-hop thing, and you don't need turn-tables to beat match any more. Actually, for dj's of other genres they can actually get in the way (although they are useful for those who are already use to vinyl).
@tylerfolio actually dude i don't know what you use to beat match but they are usually incredibly unreliable. plus you have more freedom with vinyl for controlling your music, especially if you have a serato or traktor setup, and a controller for effects can add even more.
plus i scratch dubstep all the time, not just hip-hop
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i agree yes this is a cool affect but being a dj isnt jsut effects a monky could get up there and do that thats just pressing buttons being a dj is abouteither scratching, producing, or beat matching now those are actual skills not just pressing buttons at certain times that mostly is just the devices doing the work
hater!!! hes just trying to show u some of the stuff u probably dont know how to do!!! who says this video makes him the shit? or taht he only uses effects!!?
dexter3b - wake up out of that dream. how dare you dream of being a dj! how dare you!
listen m8 you dont need 2 spend 3 grand on decks. Just get yourself some CDJ400 or CDJ800 decks and a DJM 600 mixer. You should be able 2 get them all in good condition for about £1500 maybe less. You dont need all these fancy effects. 99% of a good mix is down to the tune selection anyway.
guess its best to get our own equipment first before looking for dj gigs at clubs? I have been using the numark total control. its a usb interface and after I make the switch to the cdj800 ima be crazy on that thing X)
i beg to differ.. i work clubs.. i dont have my whole setup yet.. i was lucky and learned on the clubs kit but its kinda crap. that helped in a way though cause if you can mix with our POS setup then your good to go on anything.. the problem in my opinion, and dont feel insulted by this, is that i dont think you will be any better if you buy better gear. catch my drift ?
@djtyme2008 Oh good point! I got my first gig next month but just not at a club (im mobile djing right now) Im about to buy all the lighting and stuff and thinkin about buying the cdj 400s or just save up for the 900s and use my Numark Total controll +laptop for this gig
@duskball629 for me this is way away from djing. For me playing like this is more controllerism than djing. It is a skill to be able to beatmatch, and its a skill knowing your units like this guy do in his performances. So stop saying this is shit djing. Start to understand that this is a new way to manipulate the magic of the music. Time never stops folks, don't be to conservative. Recognize the value of oldschool and open your heart and your ears for James Zabiela!
DJing will never earn you money like Zabiela's unless your as good as him. You start off playing in shitty little venues and earn yourself a reputation working your way up. I dont mean to ruin your dreams but if you think your going to get a set of CDJs and get over £12,000 for playing an event straight away, then i think you need to wake up out of that dream! haha
no one did, so dont try being clever. it was a comment of advice that if you are wanting to get into DJing, dont set your sights on playing at that level within a year of getting yourself some CDJs like most people do and then they sell them the year later because there not playing in ibiza!
Dont try being clever? Why wouldnt i? If it was a comment of advice then thanks, but it seems like you are pro and dont like ppl that want to try djing and if they dont like it sell their gear. So what? It`s just like everything, you need to try. You won`t know if you like apple before you try it.
its not that at all, this is where your age is coming into play. my point was people spend over £3000 (not you) on equipment thinking they will get it straight away and be playing in clubs within a few month and then when they arent they spit their dummy out. i have nothing against eople who want to try DJing, ive taught my mates how to beatmatch who wanted to learn and let them use my equipment when ever they want. hey use it yourself if you want!!!!

The music should come first. The money is secondary. If all you want is money and fame from DJing than I think it will be very hard for you.
