[DJSolidify]

[HARDDOG33]

you don't need this . there is a app for that . steve jobs

[Jtownballerz]

Is there a rewind button?

[BoltcutterCT]

0:33 DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN DA-DAMN DAMN (FUCK) DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN DA-DAMN DAMN (FUCK)

[elmojado03]

Is this only for macs?

[JRYAN34]

thats annoying as shit

[puppyro]

GOOD! Thanks. I buy one of these.

[Hoognard]

hey, so bascially my crossfader is what i would say loose. When i am playing a track on the right and when i apply pressure to that side, my crossfader will begin to freak out and either just switch back and forth from left to right, or it will go from middle to right. Its reallllllly killer, if anyone knows how to fix, respond plz!

[DJzanNAZ]

I had this for one week. This demo is accurate, it definitely works well when you get the hang of it. BUT - the video is only a minute long... in my experience this thing would crash on me every 5 to 10 minutes if I kept pushing it like he is in this video. Sometimes it would crash for no reason.

I now have an NS7, same laptop, works perfectly...

[GalaXy808]

Good,good?I'm planning to buy one

[laxplayer1199]

does this have a soundcard built in?

[djaysoftware]

@laxplayer1199 Yes, the Spin has a built-in sound card with master out on the back (standard black/red RCA connectors) and headphones + microphone jacks in the front.

[ederotero1]

[MrArthiom]

[stash459]

i just got the spin but i need the speakers with rca cables power speakers where can i get them please let me know

[MrArmen1157]

@stash459 musicians friend try the mackie mr5's there amazing

[AceFace200]

How do you configure the Vestax Typhoon so the jog wheels can scratch. been having a real hard time with that...

[ZenAtorDK]

If you turn the plate with your finger on the outside, is it then moer accurate than if your are turning it on the inside? I'm thinking about beatmatching...

Is the idea alike the pioneers, for example the Pioneer CDJ 800?

[djaysoftware]

@ZenAtorDK If you turn it on the outside you can pitch-bend (slow down/speed up the song) to align the beats. Turning it on the inside will scratch. Basically like a turntable.

[ZenAtorDK]

@djaysoftware So is it more accurate, or is it going REALLY fast forward, just when you turn it a little bit?

[djaysoftware]

@ZenAtorDK Pitch-bend and scratching are two different functions, so it’s hard to say that one is more accurate than the other. :) Pitch-bend has very fine sensitivity though and is perfect for beat-matching.

[playr105]

Can i NOT Get this for PC?!?!?!?

[MrBubbley07]

@playr105 nope

[GTI0404]

Can u use this with Windows by any chance?

[sammylangthefirst]

i cant decide between getting a spin or typhoon, which software do you think is better?

also, have you experienced and latency issues with the spin's soundcard when mixing?

[ProBiosp]

no pc?

[danielslota85]

can you spin any dance music like house/tech? or just scratch only?

What speakers are they on that movie?

[Hoognard]

mine wont scratch, it kinda just skips.. howw do i fix this? yours scratches...

[djaysoftware]

@Hoognard Make sure you are not in "jog seek" mode: the "tonearm" buttons next to the headphone buttons on the Spin should be disabled for scratching.

[Hoognard]

@Hoognard the reason why it wasnt workingn is because i hadnt set my turntable's sensitivity

[KentuckyFriedGrape]

Hi what equipment would you recommend for a beginner trance dj?

[AlLsTaRbAsEbAlL24]

does this only work with mac/apple computers?

[djaysoftware]

@AlLsTaRbAsEbAlL24 Yes, djay is designed specifically for Mac!

[DJYANDEL13]

eres una mierda para el scraks

[jeremymeehling]

nice job! i JUST got one the other day and i have NOOOO! clue what im going i suck pretty bad lol! i need some help!

[TheUpperground]

ya'll need to fix that digitized sound and this would be a nice tool for djs!

[Shupsta3]

[SoundProofProd]

could this controller work with traktor or virtual dj?

[Oalampritis]

[3150lilwayne]

VESTAX as numberone!!

[natanmorrodapinga]

What's a progan Name?

[imaymakeyoubleed]

i want one so bad its just i dont have the cash at the moment

GRRR

[Fuzi89]

what is the difference between vestax spin and vestax typhoon?

[feedyourspeakers]

@Fuzi89 nothing from what I've seen, just the spin is for Mac and tyhoon is setup for windows

[xerves7]

@Fuzi89 as far as I've heard they are the same thing. the color is different of course. but i think the typhoon is made for Traktor and works with PC's. its also like $50 more. if you have a mac i'd go with the spin because its made for itunes

[1CBRDUDE]

Does this unit have a built in limiter on the soundcard like the vci 300 and is the soundcard that good quality.

[bodioto]

What is your sensitivity on the turntable set to?

[DJMakeWay]

Can this be used with torq? I hate the exponent and this is way cheaper.

[BillTingzzz]

Will this only work on Mac then?

[wcwashington]

why does the apple store take 2 months to ship this... it is bad ass.. i guess i just answered my own question... they do not have enough in supply

[MrRogerio83]

this only works in a mac?

[MrIlja1996]

wow! so cool :D

[kfc667]

the main ways of gettin a virus is from using da net, visting porn sites or software/program crack/keygen sites, so STFU. for the last 8yrs i havent gotten a virus, malware etc and i dont even use internet security software. so relax.

yea yea, we all know the mac runs better dan a pc.

this mixer looks good like da typhoon......BUT ima still get da vestax vci-300.

by da way djrageman, real djs use vynil/turntables

[ianv13]

@kfc667 real djs know how to spell vinyl

[MeCinemaProduction]

epic fail

[DJvCitro]

Do you use a pc with this? I thought that it only works with mac?

Cool video btw (:

[pillefreeride]

save all the work and look instead of doing that shit haha :P

[MrSmoothgrooves]

shite

[1998Flo]

you dont need a crossfader to scratch ....

[h4x0y]

you´ve got a nice controller there, along with a nice macbook, just get urself a pair of nice studio monitors and the setup will be complete

[WhatEverMaaannnn]

It looks clumpsy to operate! It looks a bit too narrow between the jog wheels but otherwise quite effective.

[Navigas1]

this is so cool

[KidThatDoesEverythin]

pretty sick, so wait this only works on mac right?

[JeremyjsmSWVA]

@KidThatDoesEverythin yes

[ScorchinBeats]

no it works on pc

[JeremyjsmSWVA]

uhhh maybe if you mod it but its encrypted for mac

[ScorchinBeats]

not at all. I just plugged it in and the drivers installed instantly. all you have to do is download a map for traktor (or midi map it yourself) and it works perfectly

[MASTERCON12]

encrypted for mac? are you insane? it is just a midi controller styled and software supported for mac.

[drocha0743]

i gonna buy wat else should i buy so it works ?

[guitar453]

Some DJ's program, for example Traktor DJ

[jalva714]

lol wack. can you hear your song on cue? if not it should have been made by playschool.

[JeremyjsmSWVA]

@jalva714 yes you can via USB headphones or useing the built in headphone jack

[ajayhari87]

haha

[roweben]

Any chance that this will be available in Australia?

[Giovanniz4]

THIS IS AMAZING

[fleecefox]

Hi, it looks great, I'd really like to buy ohe, but I live in Finland... Why have you guys at vestax decided only to sell in the US and Canada? Aren't you interested in making money off the European market?

[djaysoftware]

The Spin should be available in Europe within the next 1-2 months.

[Xchypic]

@djaysoftware

Hey dude, i live in Europa, and i have used alot of time, and i will get it to Norway in 2 weeks!;D, but i just need a USB to get all it to work? , it works on any mac?

[djaysoftware]

The minimum system requirements are a Mac with an 1.8GHz or faster Intel processor. The Spin is simply connected via USB directly to your Mac, no power adapter needed.

[djaysoftware]

@fleecefox The Spin is now available across Europe from Vestax dealers. Check the link in the video description above.

[slovencelj1]

@fleecefox

vestax typhoon is on sale, work with windows too

[Calore1984]

@fleecefox

hi, if you want, in Ebay you can find this, from a retailer.,

I bought one there. it's new unused.. 

[EnglandMUCH]

well its true, and im on it right now and it's done it again. It's not the plug because my vestax spin stays on, so it's clear to me an new plug wont do anything. And it makes me mad to pay $250 for something that doesnt work properly.

[djaysoftware]

It works great for most people, there is most likely an issue with your unit or your software setup. Please contact Vestax customer support at 1-888-498-4788 or algoriddim support.

[rchelicopterfun]

This looks incredible.

Im worried about the laggy thing but i want it.

Apple store says 2-3 months and i need it in a week for a dj party. anyone else carry this in stock?

[djaysoftware]

@rchelicopterfun As you can see in the video, there is no lag when you Mac meets the minimum system requirements.

funnyman2345 below is most likely using an older Mac, which unfortunately doesnt work so well for scratching.

[rchelicopterfun]

perfect.

I want to buy it. But where? the apple stores says it will ship in a few months... I want to overnight it lol..

it looks amazing. I want it! BEST SOFTWARE

[EnglandMUCH]

bull shit. my mac is new and there isnt lag but sometimes it loses synch to my mac to where i have to unplug it and plug it back in. and you cant do that at fucking gigs. so fuck you djaysoftware

[funnyman2345]

DO NOT BUY THIS!!! i bought it and it is laggy as hell and half the time the controls stop working. If you buy this, you are getting scammed.

[djaysoftware]

What kind of Mac are you using the Spin with? Please note that the minimum system requirements are a 1.8GHz or faster Intel processor. If you have any other issues with the Spin (the hardware), please feel free to contact Vestax customer support at 1-888-498-4788 or algoriddim support (on our website).

[Xchypic]

Hi! Its this just USB ? No pOwer needed?

[JohnnieTech2]

Yes. It's bus powered.

[CMfilms09]

when i do a scratch it doesnt sound like that, do i need to adjust my settings?

[ADek0000]

vestax spin or reloop digital jockey 2 ie??

[wpql]

Vestax Spin Vs.hercules RMX any inputs?

trying to decide!

[alancruzr]

please someone help me to build the map for traktor scratch pro!!!

[jwilson3rd]

I bought 1,I'm not a dj but I've made a few song myself.

[tony609]

i got mine todayyyyyyyyy ohh my goddd what a waste of money (((

[DJbillyE]

Why so bad?????

[LiquidSun612]

great vid, i was thinking about getting one. but do i need a mac for it to work or what?

[JeremyjsmSWVA]

@LiquidSun612 as far as i know yes... cuz the software is for mac only but then again it is just a midi controller

[toujames]

Buy me one for Christmas.

[Brennonicolini]

THATS RIGHT djrageman MACs ARE JUST FOR PROs... REAL DJs ALWAYS USE MACs...

[casablancamicasa]

best review so far,please show us more!

[rockbandmidi]

On sale today in mac store $225 free ship..

Thanks for the quick demo how's th crossfader?

[DanceVideosX]

can you use other dj software like traktor pro and others with this?

or no

[Persianbmw94]

It's a midi controller so, yes you would be able to use it with Traktor Pro. However you may need to map it yourself or find a mapper online. (Eangolden may be coming out with one soon)

[GenralosityXL]

@DanceVideosX well u can, but its not as good, and actually no u cant =/ thers an Equivalent tho that looks better in my opinion called Vestax Typhoon, but u can use both with macs =) SO FUK U PC!

[DrunckyBrewster]

If you want to learn how to DJ and not look like a complete pussy don't buy this. This is like riding a Razor scooter instead of skateboarding. I think this sucka dj maker comes with free Shakira MP3's, body glitter and hair jell.

[gunwing]

and spend 1200+ haha!!!

[olesto]

is it any option to turn the blue lights off?

[kalif151byccrew]

wow you're so original.

[djrageman]

The only thing gay here is you and your piece of shit virus infected PC.

So keep you dumb ass ignorant comments to yourself.

Mickey Mouse DJ!

Real Dj's use Macs!

[bigbarcelona23]

real dj's use macs????

Really???

Last time I check real Dj's don't let their equipment dictate their talent. matter fact... that's how that one goes.

[Joelaye92]

@djrageman macs all day mate haha

[DjDadeo]

@djrageman

"Real Dj's use Macs"

Thats the gayest dj coment i've ever heard..... too funny and gay at the same time!

[BlackRainINC1]

@DjDadeo I agreee bruh cause when it comes down to it, real DJs use real turntables, real records, and a real mixer. Thumbs up from me, Dadeo!

[ThatGuyThatsCanadian]

@DjDadeo only pussies use macs!!!

[lillemau89]

@DjDadeo Real dj's only use a scratchboard, vinyls, speakers and a lot of flava!

[WhippyHD]

@DjDadeo

Silly comment but sort of true haha, Most well known Dj's use MacBooks, they don't lag at all or crash so i guess thats why.

[caroline2513]

@DjDadeo i like gays some days

[BastosBros]

sounds like the perfect deal for everything it does

[djscratchdog]

Great!

I like that you used my beat.

This is definitely on my Christmas list.

GO DJAY!

[redjohn2008]

Wow !

This is Awesome !

I need this!

[oasis512512]

awesome! i want one so bad

[JesseSinopoliTV]

can you buy this online??

[djaysoftware]

Yes, you can buy it at the Apple Online Store, or any Apple Retail Store. Check the link in the info section on the right.
