Crystal Method scratch

[TuningFreak23]

what turntables do you use?

[hitpoint3]

niiiice :)) which software do you use? Do you have any filmed tutorials for begginers? :)

[DJGrooveStyle]

@hitpoint3 This is of Torq, but lately I've been using Serato itch and Serato scratch live. I'm thinking about doing a quick vid showing the differences between the two....

[hitpoint3]

@DJGrooveStyle You can do that :) I'll deffinitely check it :)

[98menace98]

@DJGrooveStyle so i can use windows media player

[98menace98]

so u can use windows media player

[hitpoint3]

@DJGrooveStyle did u make the vid? i wanna see it :)

[98menace98]

i djed at a party and i had to use torq and i dont like torg doesnt even show you the virtual tables and i think it only uses itunes and i hate that

[DJGrooveStyle]

@98menace98 I know that it doesn't only use itunes. When I was using it I never did... but yeah, there's supposed to be an update, so hopefully the software's more stable now

[keeperbrasil]

I really like this

[xXxLax4LifexXx]

yours dont overheat??

[DJGrooveStyle]

@xXxLax4LifexXx Not yet that I've noticed? How long does it take for yours to do that?

[xXxLax4LifexXx]

@DJGrooveStyle 30 minutes of scratching

sent it back and now i have a t.62

[mangaloredavid]

pffff bad beginners.. (France)

[RosaAndAlberto]

Good stuff man. Planning on getting a DVS, might just buy the tt200's. I dont see the need to shell out lots of money to spin timecode. Those TTs seem pretty wicked. You rock em nice brotha...

[DJGrooveStyle]

@RosaAndAlberto Thanks! Yeah, they work really well, the stanton str8-150's are good I hear, too... There's lots of options for timecode out there nowadays, that's for sure!

[FeeLtheHertZ]

Yo man your performance is well wicked though work on your scratching technique and learn more, expansive skills such as crabbing and all of the other more complex styles which will enable you to get more expressive, but that's some original stuff you got going on there man.

[FeeLtheHertZ]

got skills man nice set

[gigabrid]

Good, but it stay in one style from start 'til end.

[dsmurf83]

good job man....it sounds real sharp and clean....flows good

[2007jhi]

dude awsome mate huge fan of torq and now u! well done

[27LPfan]

hey nice job man, keep at it!

[kileak79]

Ahh... that mixer brings back memories; I used to have that. Pretty neat one, nice and loose cross fader. :)

[4321cm]

hows the torque on these tt's is it just as strong as tech 1200's? I plan on gettin these w/ dj trim 4&6 & vinyl tht come with it + vdj pro. Great mix btw

[warfang222]

Thanks for the quick reply, i forgot to mention before, that was amazing <3 Crystal Method

[warfang222]

Would some one mind telling me in a short answer how he is playing the songs from his PC, maybe just like somthing i could google

[DJGrooveStyle]

@warfang222 In this video I'm using a DVS called Torq, which allows me to use my turntables just as they would be with vinyl, but I use special control vinyl that is coded to play mp3's on my computer. Google Torq, Serato, or Traktor, and you'll see what I mean.

[georgiew999]

@warfang222 THE CRYSTAL METHOD-NAME OF THE GAME

[fuez96]

Very good scratching!!



[Ehxon]

@Garbagemancool anyone who uses real vinyl is better than this digital auto loop auto roll garbage not just me in particular

[adro5266]

How do you have your sampler hooked up to your set up..thru midi or a seperate channel? What computer program are you using serato?..i have tt200s also and i also have a sampler(korg esx) just wondering how i can include it in my set up not including the simple way by putting it on it seperate channel, im about to get serato also

[TheDweed]

I'm scratchin' only with my chicken's nails on the back of my goats on my farm. I a fucking redneck fucker. hahahahaha

[Ehxon]

try scratching with a real record and not a computer. anyone can do that? then try scratching with 2 real records and only a mixer lol future noobs. and for the turntable questions get some technics ive had mine for 9 years now and never had a problem once. all other turntables are garbage.

[DJGrooveStyle]

@Ehxon Hey man, no need to hate. I started on real vinyl, and it's really not too different to have a DVS. It just makes gigging out lighter and allows you to carry more with you each night. I now have both tt200's and technics, and they are both good decks. There are a lot of options out there, and you need to find what works good for you. If you'd like to post some of your skills, I'd love to see you throw down!

[Ehxon]

@DJGrooveStyle they will be up very soon within a week or two just got a camera. and notice i dont need a computer program to line up my beats for me

[pussypitcher]

@Ehxon nope...i have the vestax pdx 2000 for about 10 years now. i never had any problems with them too

[Garbagemancool]

@Ehxon ur cool "i have the best turntables in the world and yeah dude i use records that makes me better than everyone" u know were in 2010 right?

[bmxerdude88gt]

@Ehxon this guy talks a lot of shit he dosnt even have any videos of him mixing wax

[FeeLtheHertZ]

@Ehxon LOL what a noob for what you're saying "all other turntables" technics aren't the king they once were buddy, and I own two MK5's, get real, and if you knew anything about DVS systems you would know it's exactly like using two real records.

[kcutz]

@Ehxon dickhead. post up qbert.

[samjaramillo]

@Ehxon your just jealous...

[jibberjabber1993]

@Ehxon your just a serious style gimp. big whoop nae one care go away and masterbate ;). some people dinny even need a turntable to scratch ;)

[kaveets24]

@Ehxon um no anyone can't do that. I don't think a computer makes anyone able to crab scratch

[Kifly95]

i'm getting turntables soon umm do turntables come with a needle or do you have to buy one seperate

[DJGrooveStyle]

@Kifly95 yeah, you hafta buy your own needles, but that's because people tend to favor different ones.

[TheBamboo412]

Hella sick scratching man. I'm lookin to step up to virtual vinyl. Right now I gig with a Vestax VCI 100 that runs Traktor at a couple bars in town. How would you compare Torq to the Traktor Scratch software? I was looking into getting the TT200's with a Vestax PMC 5 Pro III and the Traktor Kontrol X1 so that I would't have to be messing with my laptop all the time. Anyone have input on that setup? Anything would be appreciated, I'm all about learning :) Thanks

[Sockaci]

I am thinking about purchasing theese I would like to know if you ever had to get theese repaired? Or buy new stuff for? And sick ass routine you got there.

[soccerskillz19]

I know people ask you a lot of question but can i ask you how long you have had the tt200's? I'm curious on the durability of these tables because I'm interested in picking up a pair. and by the way, loving this mix

[DJGrooveStyle]

@soccerskillz19 I've had em for about 4 years now, still going strong!

[DJCULAR]

@DJGrooveStyle wow thats amazing i want some aswell if they last that long !!!! nice video aswell btw

[jsnki]

well fucking done! nice little mix

[EnjoyTheMorningView]

PUMP DAT BEAT!

1:39 Sick scratching(:

5 STARS...well done bro.

Long live Incubus.

[djdmc24]

can u use m audio torq software to dj parties? ima mobile dj... im preparing to buy numark tt200s and a software (was thinking serato) but can i have some feedback on this software? thank you!

[L2NProductions]

you dont have to do that crossfader to scratch. just scratch

[SooprMok5Dropkik]

@L2NProductions He is using the crossfader to chop up the sound. It sounds GREAT in my opinion.

[djnito21]

yo groove style how the Torque on the tt-200's im looking to buy them i just want to make sure they have the right amount of torque. BTW Good shit on this set.

[DJGrooveStyle]

Yeah I feel like the turntables have enough torque, especially if you put some good slipmats on them, like flying carpets or butter rugs

[djnito21]

Aight man sounds good.

[rolley05]

u wanna lotta torq get the stanton str8150s =D

best thing i ever baught :)

[GGAlice1]

what kind of vinyl is that, like is that a custom ordered record or is it a special dj sampler or just the original album.?

[hazzhall88]

Its the vinyl that comes with m audio torq software, basicaly its not a track ro anything on it, its just so the turntables and needles can relate to the digital tracks on the software

[DjBurgess08]

@GGAlice1 its a timecoded vinyl

[DJKrytykal]

@GGAlice1 It's timecoded vinyl called Torq, controlling a dj program on the computer. You just use the computer program and load a song on the deck, and you can mix with the vinyl. Really cool stuff, check out Serato and Torq to see more.

[Djmangoos]

hes faking ?

[djmauricio2006]

I wonder how he is able to use trigger finger to do that. ?

[JPhunk420]

fuckin sick scratch :). Thanks for showin how capable the TT200s are, im excited to pull mine out of the box now.

[bizrutal1]

Sweet remix. Love the song. You should put it out to the public

[daddydj1973]

nice!

[DJBerserk]

Serato is better. Torq is lame.

[emkplayboy6]

Hey which is better Torq or Serato Scratch?

[emkplayboy6]

are those the ttx200's? If os i used to have those! They're not bad! I have the ttx's now tho

[elmaspison]

thats the best set up that you can buy on a budget the rest is tallent, the only diff with mine is i have a korg padkontrol, but its all on the person using it, once youve used technics youve used them all

[hourglassx50]

very nice man.

[cibor1111]

mpd pads??

[Jimmylecroy21]

M-audio Trigger finger about 150

[Fexington]

You make mediocre equipment look and sound very good! Your skilled bud.... :)

[soekbeces]

what are you talkin about

that equipement isn't mediocre...

yeh... he got nice skills

[priyonjoni]

very good but you should record the audio direct so we can really hear everything with out all the clicks of the mixer

[bboylilsoul]

i love 1:05

[fitedfreak]

how good is the touq program??

[bxtchimcurtis]

i have a pair of these and i am plannin on sellin mine and i havent used them more than an hour how much do u think they are worth?

[danidgeridoo]

muy buen tema tiooo

te lo as currao

pero no me extraña nada con ese pedazo de equipo

sigue asi ;)

[falseambitions]

yo that was really sweet! nice set of gear too, clever choices.

[wesng84]

DOPEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[TigerBoy312]

Keep up the amazing work!

[BosseBrakskit]

BTW do u happen to to know the name of that beat-disc? i like the moves and perhaps its available to order from the web? Many thanks

[BosseBrakskit]

Skillfully done! I now consider if i should pickup my old dj moves again..been a long time ago

[SqueakerT]

Nice. I need some help...where do you get your records? A link and some suggestions for someone getting ready to start?

[DJGrooveStyle]

Well I honestly get my records locally at the record/music store... but lately it's been harder and harder to find battle records. If I were you I'd just google around for a records store online. There's a lot but it depends on what you want for what site you want to go to

[SqueakerT]

well I had been loooking around but i dont know what to look for, I would really love to get the qlimax records but idk where to get them and the fact that they are from the netherlands...i cant read shit on the website. Other than that...you think i could hook it up to a comp and use something like deckadance?

[DJGrooveStyle]

hook what up? Yeah you can hook up your turntables as long as you have the soundcard/box thing that the specific program requires. From there, all you need is timecoded vinyl. If you like dance music try dancerecords. com or beatport

[SqueakerT]

well i should be getting some cheapy tables soon, the gemini scratchmaster 5.0 for 150 dollars,thanks to my friends mom. I was thinking i could find a way to hook it up to deckadance but its sounding more complicated than i thought. But i will check out those sites, thanks.

[DJGrooveStyle]

yeah, also check out djforums. com It's really a great resource for just about everything.

[SqueakerT]

thanks for being online and helping me. I really appreciate it. You should check out the gemini scratchmaster 5.0 I think its an alright set especially with the deal i should be getting. Idk what happened with it. She hasnt called...damn i better get em.

[kamikazekakashi]

respect

d[-_-]b

[coi10]

hey i have the same numark tt200 with stanton headshell and shure m44g. i was wondering how did you set up the tonearm?? the needle always skips on me.. cant even do a decent backspin. when i pull the weight all the way to the back, the tone arm still points down.. is that normal? i cant make the tonearm float freely with the cartridge on... any help will be greatly appreciated.

[stormfrontrecords]

good job!! props!

[ddpsp]

Nice work.

[DJGrooveStyle]

honestly, it's up to your own personal opinion and what you plan to use it for. If I were you, just research the two things to death and then decide what you want and what works for you.

[bonnybity]

hey dude i just bought my torq conectiv but i recivve from the comp very bad quality on the audio do you have any idea what am i making wrong ?

[DJGrooveStyle]

not really, you may want to call up the help line for m-audio or torq.. Also check out their website for video instructions for your setup. Also, check your ground wires and connections first to make sure they are correct. Other than that I'm not sure, it could be a number of things. Be sure to check the website anyways, it's got a lot of good tips for the program!

Hope that helps!

[kieranmach]

what is that called the thing on top of the mixer and what does it do ?

[DJGrooveStyle]

It's called a trigger finger (made by M-Audio). It's a midi controller that you can use for a number of different things, including torq. I really like it a lot and find myself using it more and more in my mixes.

[dxtxn]

what speakers do you use??

[DJGrooveStyle]

In my room I have some cheap creative speakers, I'm gonna get some altec lansing ones. As for when I play out I use 15 inch jbl's.

[nismo8319]

i noticed that your torq screen is missing the mixer section. did you get your hands on the 1.5 upgrade some how? if not, how did you get rid of it?

[DJGrooveStyle]

it's been a while since I've done it, but here's a link:

torq-dj . com/forum/viewtopic . php?t=8171

Lemme know if that works.

[nismo8319]

thanks for the info but, i have 1.07 now and it doesn't seem to work. i contacted m-audio b4 downlaoding 1.07 and asked them about the mixer. they said i could hide it but, i guess they lied. i'm about to swith back to serato. i mean as much as torq has been screwing up latley and then their little lies and there new 1.5 upgrade that they are going to charge you for, i'm done. serato has charged for 1 upgrade and it was the video one, thats it. plus every v. worked. torq still has to many flaws.

[owhite89]

Where you live I wanna see you live!!

You should do some gigs and get some top of the line crap cause you will werk for numark someday. If you want to you should Get the TT500s they are really good man.

[dxtxn]

do you connect the m audio trigger fingr to the computer or to the controller???

thanks

[DJGrooveStyle]

the trigger finger goes right into a usb port on the computer

[sprayaa]

it's better if u put the sound direct from your mixer cause the cam mic is not so good ;)

then we can here your scratch better =)

keep practise

(sry i'm not english^^)

[djalbert2684]

hey good job man hey is torq better than serato im thinking about getting it but was not sure please respond good scratching skills

[DJGrooveStyle]

haha this is debated all over the internet! I chose Torq because of its built in effects, looping, and cheaper price. Many people have Serato as well. It's more expensive, but more tested, proven, and arguably more reliable. I think torq is good & it will get better with more updates. I use it on my mobile gigs. Ultimately it is your choice. Research a lot and decide. I chose Torq, I like it. Try both if possible and decide yourself. Hope that helps! check out djforums. com it's very helpful

[DjJikoku]

Nice Set

Do you preform anywere?

If not you definetly should!

[DJGrooveStyle]

thanks! No, I don't really right now. Currently I'm a mobile DJ, but I'm hoping to work my way into the club scene soon.

[izanmarvel]

Torq Conectiv Power!!!

Great Set GrooveStyle ;-)

[bonnybity]

nice video mate , are you using the same record on both turntables ??

[DJGrooveStyle]

Actually, the songs are run through my computer and manipulated using software called Torq

[bonnybity]

awsome , i got the same turntables(numark t200) where can i get that software i am from mexico so its harder to get stuff like that , that software comes with any other hardware ?

[comander2154]

Fucking Awesome Set

What is the name of the song that you used the sample

"My weapon of choice the turntables" called.

[DJGrooveStyle]

It's actually off of a DJ Rectangle battle record.

[kubsterr]

man u rocks!

[GRBuy]

Dobre! koleś wymiata i to ostro

[dharmaboy75]

This is fricken tiiight!

[poowill]

I can't stop watching, that is so tight dude! Keep it up!

[DJGrooveStyle]

thanks man!

[djscratchdog]

Nice Set!

You should use audio highjack to record your sets, then you recording will sound much better.

Keep up the good work.

PEACE!

[DJGrooveStyle]

good idea, thanks!

[KnowledgeProductions]

rocking torq too i see...good stuff...i like the mix it has potential ur cuts coulda been cleaner but i guess i can blame them more on your mixer..im sure ur shit would sound much crisper with a rane..keep it up

check my vids if you get a chance

[DJJurassic]

wat is that on top of the mixer? i'm thinking of getting 1 of those.

[DJGrooveStyle]

it's called a "trigger finger" by M-Audio. It's a midi controller that can work with Torq

[bizzyfingers]

i really like this... ive got torq but had problems with it. were you selecting your scratch tool with the mouse? why not just use your trigger finger???
