Richard Devine Introduces Stanton's DaScratch SCS.3d

[AKanyon]

y u no ... sorry, i would love to have more lights on it, like, Launchpad is totally spoiled me, now i need more lights on devices...

[halldomain]

???????



[residentevil1313]

Personally this is crap, I'd rather have the feeling of actually using Actual turntable and feel the record playing

Dj Hero 3

[BassSeekr]

I've decided to dj as a hobby. I looked into this product all day and it just fascinated me! It came in the mail just yesterday. I played around with it in Mixxx and it was really enjoyable. I plan to take this hobby one step further and get a better DJ program, like Traktor Duo. But, seeing as the Stanton scs3d has a USB interface, what hardware and how would I connect this unit so that I may preview a mix, sample, etc through my headphones without putting it through the master? Thanks.

[nem0nic]

@BassSeekr Any off the shelf USB audio interface with 2 stereo outputs should be good to go. Behringer has a couple cheap interfaces that will do the trick for next to nothing. Native instruments also has the Audio DJ 2 interface, which is solid and east to carry.

[BassSeekr]

@nem0nic Thanks! The setup is simpler than I thought. So basically:  Scs3d to Laptop to USB Audio interface to Headphones + Speakers But how does one switch between the headphones for previews and the master with the audio interface? (i.e how does it work?) Thanks again!

[75tim192l4]

i have 1 question with the mixer, and 2 vinyl/cdj things work just like a normal set of decks? like exacly the same?

thanks very much

[fowmoufpunk]

But if one of my two USB ports is for a Serato mixer and the other is for an external drive, how can DaScratch figure in? Most laptops have only two ports!

[nem0nic]

In that case, you would need to get a powered hub. The SCS.3m controller has a 4 port powered hub built into it for example.

[allisinthepass]

not here gots 4

[Ryalt]

you can get external USB hubs that allow you to have more than 2 USB ports. Or if you went with the Stanton SCS.3M Mixer, it uses 1 USB port while providing 4 others, acting as a small hub of sorts.

[32JSE]

Well this is kinda cool, but not a vinyl.

[XRaDer360]

hehe.....i bought dat a week ago....kewl!!

i also use it with VirtualDJ !

[lkman4]

anything richard devine uses, im using!

[TrueBlueAstrax]

Interesting...

I'm a newb who'd like to learn how to be a DJ. Is this a good alternative to a turntable? It's a heck of a lot cheaper. (:

And is this product good for beginners? I'd like some equipment that's inexpensive, easy to use, but good enough to take to gigs if I ever get into that.

I'd prefer to use a PC to play, but I'm open to any suggestions!

[WhiskeyThieves]

Will this work on my Serato itch NS7?

[Brummy010]

DaScratch controller and a USB Mixer will be sick if you use it together!

[dalakeylakesho]

is it compatable with virtual dj?

[SonidoDelX]

Could you use this thing to scratch in ableton? Because if so, I'd defnitely snag one.

[SCSystem]

As of now Ableton does not offer waveform control. They would need to implement that feature and also make it MIDI mapable.

[Seguesound]

As SCSystem says, you can't "scratch" in Ableton out of the box, but there's plenty of plugins that you can use this to that effect. As the DaScratch uses Bome, you've really just got a cheap interface to map however you see fit. One thing you can do instantly in Ableton is use the unit to change the Start and End points of samples (Drum Racks, Sampler, Impulse) in real time. A lot of potential in that regards.

[caldwell5128]

i got my scs3d and i love it : )

[finnybanana]

what program do you use?

[poetikriminal]

price?

[xnavigator]

$299

[ProjectSmammi]

So you can essentially hook up a lot of the center touchpad stuff to any sorts of effects in software, right? Like, it's possible to hook it up to all sorts of vsts and software effects and the like?

[SCSystem]

Yes,

You can use the controller as an effects trigger be they VST or built in effects as long as the program allows Midi mapping to that area of the program.

[ProjectSmammi]

Beautiful. Then this is exactly what I want.

Thanks for the info!

[ProjectSmammi]

The beats at the beginning are too ill.

[stretchycee]

looks rather cool, i can't say its a win over a kp3 etc but its a cool little gadget.

[floiran]

wow! and i thought the Kaoss pad was advanced, this thing is like magic!

[1337gurke]

ok and why would the kaoss be minor to this thing?

[kruppyboy]

Amazing tool, but the music... only a "word": bleah!

[ProjectSmammi]

Ahaha, he sounds nothing like I expected from looking at him or listening to his music. I love this guy though, his music is fucking brilliant.

[dfrequency]

hi bro i can understand where is the pitch bend? please can u help me?

[subtenko]

Hi angelwing331! lol XD anyway, this thing looks cool!

[Imfromthafutur]

Get ready for the most fun you've had since you got your first 1200!

[cumhugs]

richard devine is such a pimp.

[zavengerzz]

Ah.. Ordered one...

I wish the macbook pro has 3 USB ports...

so that I can use two of those :(

[PegasusRPG]

Get a USB hub, dude. Plug that into your laptop, then your devices into that.

[betekvs]

It's a cool device, i haven't seen anywhere yet but it looks great, keep it coming Stanton!

[djdavidp]

do u need to have a mixer? or can it just be set up to the laptop. and also do you need 2 of them

[SCSystem]

In some cases, you can use one or two 3ds without a mixer and mix using the "upfaders" (the gain controls). Some people won't like working like this, though, so a mixer would be good in that case. It all depends on your style of mixing.

[djdavidp]

but like..if i hooked 1 up to virtual dj, i would be able to mix using like the mixer on the program instead of a real one. and i could use one virutal deck and one on the 3d.

[bentosan]

If 2 are connected via the magnetic strip is there a need for a second usb cable?

[SCSystem]

Yes.

[bentosan]

Doh, oh well, thats not the end of the earth.
