[rid1nlow]

LOL funny as hell!!

[az09peixe]

What LP'S did you used?

[daillmeskin]

@az09peixe Looks like a Crowd Control battle record. That's my friend DJ Nick Nack's label in Austin,Texas. Cool!

[exhaustiv]

10x for the video, i will try to keep training to get this suggestions right.

[senatoradam]

Mild salsa doesn't cut it. It doesn't sound warm enough.

[MrPhillee1982]

Salsa. hahaha. 

[chuckles1252]

if ur right handed, do u put ur right or left hand on the crossfader?

[Vlatko1337]

@chuckles1252 i'm right handed and I used my lefthand on the crossfader, but I can also scratch the other way with the other deck and use my right hand on the crossfader to, it's all about preference, some people like there dominant hand on the crossfader, some like it on the record, give both a try and see what your more comfortable with.

[timprutsen]

Cool videos. Im looking to start dj-ing soon as well just for fun. I learn alot from watching DJ shiftees vids. I was about to buy the American Audio VMS4 last week but I saw the Traktor Kontrol S4 and I fell in love with it too. So I decided to save up some more. Im gonna get the S4 next pay. Cant wait!

[DubSpot]

@albertpanit if you haven't seen it check out our videos on the Kontrol S4, we've got two on our channel now and a third one coming soon.

[el1te1984]

@albertpanit Def go traktor or anything itch!

[STrainJerk]

Lawsuits, Terrible...

Props Shiftee

[valley1234]

I want to give you my money

[DeeJayEndo]

If your just starting to DJ and have a laptop I would say your best option is to use the Traktor Kontrol S4. It has 2 decks built into it that can control 4 decks in Traktor. It also has a 4 channel mixer (with EQ's and filters) and soundcard built into it, and has buttons for browsing, looping, FX etc. It will save you from having to buy 2 Turntables, a mixer, amp, and dj software & hardware since its all of these in one, and would allow you to be able to take your dj setup anywhere.

[martojay]

@DeeJayEndo Av been waiting for months to buy some equipments and I fell In love with the Traktor Kontrol S4. I cant wait to get mine next week

[kwidg87]

for anyone than can help. im looking to start dj-ing and these videos are helpful but with equipment I mainly see the 1200's and the ttm 56 or 57 mixer used by the better dj's. would it be reccomended that i just save up and buy the best gear first or are there cheaper alternatives to start with that offer the same or at least comparable performance to the technics and ttm?

[DubSpot]

@kwidg87 If your just starting to DJ and have a laptop - try the Traktor Kontrol S4 which comes out in November. It has a 4 channel mixer (with EQ's and filters) and soundcard built into it, and has additional buttons for browsing your collection, looping, effects etc. It will save you from having to buy 2 Turntables, a mixer, and dj software & hardware since its all of these in one, and would allow you to be able to take your dj setup anywhere. -- Endo

[FeeLtheHertZ]

@DubSpot I have to disagree if you're starting off get a pair of used Technics or Numark TT-200's (Techs are better tho) and cheap beginner mixer, the S4 is a controller, and isn't anything at all like using pure vinyl which is what classic DJing started on, so if you're starting start w/ the pure basic form in it's purest form which is two decks and a mixer, if you find you like scratching then don't even think about the S4, if you want to mix only and like portability then look at the S4.

[DubSpot]

@FeeLtheHertZ that's sound advice, the problem with technics and a mixer at this stage is price. If you can find a good deal on some used stuff then it might be a good fit but for new equipment it's going to be MUCH more expensive.

[lkrux]

@DubSpot i tried lots of midi stuff and all that..i find myself going back to turntables. idk it just doesnt feel the same..i miss it:(

[MEKON17]

@kwidg87 i just keep to bedroom DJing, and i have the most fun in the world with 2 vinyl turntables and a mixer that cost 100 quid in total! and yes, i scratch. Its not the gear - its what you do with it!! Buy a skipless scratch record ("superseal" is really good) so you dont have to worry about good needles. Make your own slipmat out of some slippy plastic so you dont have to worry about crappy torque. Then just have fun - if you one day upgrade then you will be 10x better with expensive gear!

@djdooban...thanks heaps mate..these are what i needed! I am actually improving now! Thanks again

[JSBeatTheRest]

DJ Salsa.. i mean Shiftee rules :P

[ruslanio]

Haha, Shiftee is hilarious.

[MrKook78]

Hi Shiftee, I am having troubles getting anything like the correct sound - is there a record you suggest that has suitable sounds for scratching?

Thanks in advance

[djdooban]

@MrKook78 yo dude, go buy super seal on dirstyle records.... skipless and got most the usual scratch sounds you hear so you can practise.

[roerchharo87]

Dj Shifee is super funny! and his music is sick. all around great Dj

[lenzeppellin]

And I would avoid this unless you're doing something insane... hahaha 1:16

[Raener]

[hijump60]

Great Video! Nice scratching and nice Video Editing!

[djwelly]

Good tips shiftee! Delivered with the usual humor!

[Tumkan]

shifteee, actually i have to say that these tips you give might sound basic, but for people like me who dont live in a country where turntablism is widespread, and have to learn all by myself, its a great help :-) condradz on the dmc 2009 by the way... PEACE!
