  • Did you know that the beginning of this video was used in a Painkiller track called "Roll Feature"?

    /watch?v=g4q45grKhFE

  • Is Joe still sponsering you as u have over 123,000 views?

  • Awesome tip man, thanks, just got my DJM400 and cant wait to try this feature out! thanks...

  • you have mutch equipment isn't?

  • "robot?...Face" Love it.

  • Can't you just do that using the loop features on the cdj 400??

    why does the mixer want to throw in features that you can get on cdj's?

    im guessing for vinyl turntableists.

  • @paintitblack01 You guessed right bro!! I'm using this mixer with my Technics 1210's & I'm loving it! Getting cdj 900's in about a month (still in the process of saving up 4 them) & I cant wait!! By the way peace out & keep spinnin to all dj's. My guitar playing buddy keeps giving me stick 4 not playing a "real" instrument. F**k him!!

  • @paintitblack01 the instant loop feature is not available on the professional CDjs . b/c its not accurate. the mixer is better at detecting bpm down to the millisecond. the 1000's (club standard) dont have the instant loop, they have cue points

  • @paintitblack01 The ROLL effect if slightly different from a LOOP. Sometimes the effect is also called a Loop roll, so its kinda confusing. Although u can loop with cdjs, once you leave the loop, the cdj takes you straight back to where you left off, ie AT THE END OF THE LOOP. The roll (or loop roll) also loops the music, but when you disengage the effect, you jump to the point in the track where you would have been had you not used the effect at all. Sorry for the caps, tryin to be clear :)

  • Also forgot to say I love Jonathan's videos as they always feature tracks I know/like. This one's a tuuune!

  • 3:21 awesome! :) lovely little effect this one.

  • thnx for the tips man :)

  • how much does that hardware cost?

  • what song is this??

  • EAT AT JOES!

  • what songs was used?

  • cool vids

    My fav on the djm 800 is the loop also, just so many cool things to try out.

    Cheers

  • can i connect this mixer to my PC to mix songs from it?

  • yes its possible

  • whers joes lol

  • hey man !!! i want to ask you smthing !!! reloop is beter than denon ?? plz answer !!! thnx

    denon, allen and heath, pioneer an ecler are some of the best mixer

  • absolutely wicked

  • just got one of these on ebay for £255. looks pretty sweet, would you recomend it ellaskins?

  • amazing review ellaskins ;)

    i'm just changing my setup and i bought a djm400, but i don't have a manual for it so that is helpful :P

  • hi guy !

    one thing, does the plate come with the sampler included?how is it called the plate, and how much it cost?

  • by 'the plate', are you referring to the thing that's playing the music, on the left hand side of the mixer..? if so, then no.. that's a cdj. basically a cd player that a dj can use in conjuction with a mixer (the thing he's using a roll effect on). you need to buy them separate to the mixer

  • jonathan ma name is anthony i am a mobile dj too!!but i was just wondering how much equipment u have man??!!!! i been seen couple of your videos and it seem like u have a hole warehouse right there man!!!haha

  • duh duh duh duh duh

  • great videos! very informative :) I have ordered the mixer and waiting for it to be delivered :D

  • One track Mind feat. Angie Brown - Good for you

  • thanks for this video!!!!!!

  • why does it have to be set to four?

    if its set to auto will it not sort itself out anyway?

  • EAT AT JOES

  • LOOOL

  • nice job!! ;)

  • abla español verga

  • Cómo se puede ser tan inútil como tú...

  • hey guys just a question for any djm400 owner...

    i bought a djm400 recently and noticed today as i brushed my arm along one of its corners i got a slight electric shock. it also happens around the screws on the top plate. anybody else get this or is mine faulty?

  • You probably just have static on your clothes.

  • sounds faulty

    i've had mine for about 6 months n nothin like that has happend to me

  • Question: Do you need a cd-player?.. erm, i saw your cd one with the blue around... does you need that to hear the music and mix it with the mixer?.. please awnser .. :)

  • You need to have a pair of cd players of turntables, and a couple of speakers.

    Tables, mixer, speakers. The basics of the dj kit =p

  • Or a midi controller, laptop and an external audio card :)

  • well, but its just getting interesting when changing time! ;)

  • Eat At Joes?

  • does this mixer have a basic beat counter function for mixing vinyl ?

  • beat counters are for thoze who cant be arsed trying to mix

    kno your records and you wont need bpm counters

  • amen.

  • yeah, yeah yeah i thought we'd get the dj police along :) most studios use them, if you are mixing 3 sources then you often dont get time to find the perfect pitch. They are usefull to have if you want to attempt complex mixing and not have to focus on just getting the beats in time

  • excellent reply by krash..

  • amen!

  • For anyone who owns a DJM-400 I found that the robot feature is pretty useless. Until i was fooling around with it I discovered a decent use to it. Put the Level/depth all the way down with the tempo set to 4 - 1/1. From there, turn on the effect (you won't hear a difference). Furthermore, Use the Beat/Pitch buttons (+/-) to change the pitch of your music. It changes the pitch of your song with the but keeps the tempo the same. Downside = sounds quite "digital"...

  • Cheers dude. I've had my djm400 for about 2 weeks now, all the effects are sweeeet! I hadn't found any use for the robot one tho!

  • I have the DMJ 400, it's a very good mixer and I hammer mine.

  • Ive been spinning for a long time, and I find these tutorials excellent best in the business.

  • ROBOT ? ....... ? LOL

  • "you got the robot ... ?"

    *** expression is priceless ***

    LOL

  • amazing

  • isnt the quality shit when the db go to 4 on the master level?

  • no its great, pioneers use studio stuff or something makes it -16db so theres a lot of space before clipping occurs

  • so much soul :) you are the best instructer mate i love ya lol!

  • anyone know the song used in this vid?

  • Hello mate its called Good For You and its the Main Mix and on the Soulfuric label,wicked tune if i say so myself ;)

  • Thanks a bunch Mikesw15! :D

  • I have the djm400 and that's defiantly my favorite feature as well. Even better is after a sample is "rolling" at say 1/1 time, you can increase the time to 1/2, 1/4 ect... and you get that build-up effect then drop the beat. Amazing little mixer!

  • Looks like DJM400 is a good purchase. I love the Vinyl Mode and want to purchase a cheap CDJ, hence is CDJ 400 good?

  • i heard that cdj 400 breaks down after little time of usage, but - if it won't be used in extreme conditions and u will take care of it, i think it's good choice.

    if my english is poor, sorry for that ;)

  • Well said. I've tried the CDJ400 and if you are thinking on using it for many gigs and what not it may break down. I own a pair of the CDJ800Mk2's and they feel much more forgiving and reliable. CDJ 800 and 1000's are the tanks of CDJ's.

  • Lets try it on my own djm =)

  • hi lad why in sum of your vidioes does it have eat at joes ??????????? plz get bak to me on dis question ?

  • Thanks Man, you are the best tutor.

  • thank you

  • can you controll the X Y parameters when using the affects...for ex when using flanger can you keep it at a high note or put it to a low note and keep it there with the dial?

  • do you really like joes i do just that theres no joes in mexico so only every time i go to the U.S

  • Yes what is the track playing?

  • That face when he says robot!:P

  • Haha, lovely!

  • buying this for sure..> whats the song name?..its soo tropical .. i like it ;)

  • the djm400 has a few things that the djm600 does not..the 600 is not the 400's superior..impossible, how cud it be,wen the 400 has the new in loop sampler and the 600 dusnt...the 400 has the fader start function which is awesome..the 600 does not have phaser,robot or roll effect..the djm400 is the best 2 channel mixer on the market..the djm800 is its 4 channel superior..the djm600 is outta here!!

  • you probably alredy know but you didnt show it in the vid but when the roll feature is on if you press the up or down keys on the beat thingy then the roll will go at 1 beat, half a beat, then quater beat and so on :) lil bit of info :D xxxx.....still want tht god dam mixer:P

  • eat at joes?

  • hey.. i got a question... what does the djm 400 have that the djm 600 doesnt have?

  • Simplicity...

    the 600 is the 400's superior so there are no features that the 400 has that the 600 doesnt.

    but i find the 400 alot easier to start on and unless you're dealing with 4 channels you wont need the 600

  • cuz i bought a djm 600, but i am disapointed because thers no roll feature on it.. but i guess thats the only thing

  • + the phaser and the robot effects.

    i wanna buy a mixer this week and i have this dilemma, dont know which one to choose, the 400 or 600...

  • i was in that position 3 months ago but then i realized.. you will use those 2 extra chanels later on for sure, and if you ever need those other effects, you can allways buy them separately... plus you can change the picth on the 600

    the only thing that is tempting about the 400 is the 4 sample/loop bank.. the 600 can only hold 1 sample/loop at a time

  • "buy them seperately"?...

    please explain :)

  • you buy a korg effects pad or something similar like a Tweakalyzer DFX69

  • i wanna learn play whit mixer,but i don't have engouh money to buy it :( good videos ;]

  • that is mint, wicked tutorial boss, im gonna buy that mixer now, WOOO

  • thanx for the Tutorial.. respect!

  • I've got it!!!

    Great little mixer tho, ever flick the channel or cross fader while the echo is on??

  • eat at joes is from loony toons

  • its also from the RESTAURANT called JOES CRAB SHACK

  • yea but they copied it from loony toons...

  • hmmm. whatever

  • EAT AT JOES

  • yeah yeah! Joe's Crabshack is the best. like the ad says: "Ya gotta go eat at Joe's"

  • but i don't want crabs

  • hahahahahahahahaa omg im rolling on the floor laughing and crying

  • ur a dick

  • no, u r cuz im talking to sum 1 else: ElPresidente101: yeah yeah! Joe's Crabshack is the best. like the ad says: "Ya gotta go eat at Joe's" TheSchimmi: but i don't want crabs ElPresidente101: hahahahahahahahaa omg im rolling on the floor laughing and crying

    .....arrogant asshole

  • im talking about my conversation with TheSchimmi u stupid assholes. im not making fun of the guy

  • eat at joes ??? wtf

  • joes crabshack? mabey he like it.

  • FireStrater is right. The sampler is almost useless unless your doing drum and bass.

  • 500$

  • whoops meant to say 'people who SPIN' drum and bass

  • completely irrelevant for people who don't drum and bass, jungle, dub, breaks, or basically anything without the horrible 4-to-the-floor repetition of house and techno.

  • i can personally vouch that this feature is great for chopping up dnb, jungle, dub, and breaks. if you can't figure out how to manipulate features, it just means you aren't being creative.

  • D&B kicks ass; it is not irrelevant.

  • How much does this cost in american money? lol

  • go online and find out lol

  • aye mate, your videos are great... Hope everything is going well for you.

  • i meant to say for 'channel selection' in the headphones for mixing..soz.

  • hi.. im interested in the djm 400, however i cant see if it has a fader or toggle to select the channels.. or is its just a simple channel 1/2 cue button... regards.. greg..

  • go check out my videos ive been using this for months now i love it

  • Hey jonathan, what kind of speakers do you recommend me to buy? im looking for speakers with alot of sound but small...

  • How much does the DJM 400 cost on average?

  • i got Mine in march and it was about £350 then i think it might of gone down now.....

  • thats too much money its... 450$ in usa

  • im going to eat at joes

  • maybe the djm-800 is better but it's 3 times the price of the 400!

  • true true im guna sell my set up and just get a good old set ov 1200,s and a decent mixer thats good for scratchin and just stick to terntablism without effects and mixin just tricks and vinyle

  • on the djm 800 u got a rev roll does the same but backwards reverses the sound its crazy the 400 is like a mini 800 i heard someone say but the 800 is better i think after watchin all the vids on here i learn more about it yep yep it is good effect deffonatly use it at the end ov a mix on 1 channel then fade out wen u want with 800 u could use colour effects to do that even better

  • Man learn how to put together sentences and how to use comers and full stops.

  • Does one mean commas? comers?

  • Its not idiot proof! i managed to mess it up :P

    here is waht happenes: im playing a track on a cdj, the auto BPM is on, and when i press the effects button on, the loop starts, but over some tim the loop and the music go offbeat, so i try to speed up the track on the CDJ the loop speeds up too, so i try without auto BPM count, and its not working, what should i do >.>

  • Thats a problem that I think won't be solved in some time, the problem is the effect system just stucks to the beat it reads, and the system reads beat per beat, doesn't have more resolution. Lets say the song is 128.3 BPM, so the mixer will read "128BPM" and the song will be out of time no matter what you do if you keep the sample going. If you speed up the thing it will speed it up according to the CDJ percentage, but it will be according to the first BPM reading, so it will be off beat.

  • this is the same as echo at 1/4 at full.... .. i would like to post a video for you... and show u how its EXACTLY the same!

  • I have two questions about the DJM-400. First, do the EQs kill all the way? & With headphones plugged into the mixer, can the EQ adjustments be heard in the headphones.

  • Yes and no

  • yes to both questions

  • i love the mixer.. I WANA WIN :D:D

    btw.. wats the "eat at joes" for?

  • Eat at Moes!

  • I hope you'll answer this question cause I can't wait to find an answer from somebody. I've seen several demonstrations with the DJM-400 mixpanel, but every single one of em use CDJ's. Is this because you need CDJ's to use all of the loop functions and stuff or will technics sl-1200 suffice? I don't know how the recording of the loop and all works and the beat change blablablabla, so yeah, do you need cdj's or are tt's compatible with all of those effects aswell?

  • tojamirophan, you can use any music source, cdj/ vinyl turntable , mp3 player , casset player , all you need is music!

     j

  • amazing! any idea how it works then? it's like a computer?

  • tojamirophan, it will sample the music being played through the chenell and once sampled it will then loop it, with ref to the other fx , all the mixer does is change the sound as it comes into the mixer and playes it out through the output and then into the speakers .

     j

  • I have the djm-400 and i use my technics with it! its great. Yeah like ellaskins said u can use any source of audio!

  • to lenomshalingo, this mixer is the next tenminmix prize, so it's not mine! j
