Turntables #6

[killerinstinct555]

Well I love this and all but i have the m.202 mixer and don't know how the hell to get sound from it. i'm new and i read the manual and all but it really isn't helping me much.

[GiftedKillz]

ima Buy this . Does it Matter What Mixer I Have ? i had the mixtrack and was running off traktor LE without the interface . so what can i do to waste less money ?

[DJGPR2]

OMG very cool scratching! do you like your mixer? can i replace the faders with the regular ones?

[achildbyfire]

@DJGPR2 the mixer is decent, the main fader is a little scratchy sometimes but for a beginner its good. it'll last you a couple years and if you want to change out a better mixer after that you can. I'm not sure if you can upgrade the faders in this one.

[KushNasty]

this is the shit

[312BEAST312]

Ey wat records r those. They sounded dope as hell

[kar2592]

this mix is dope! u smashed it! i always had an interest in djing, jus wondering how much did ur set cost and how did you learn...u said it was self taught...but issit like thru vids or frens or experimentation. im considering buying but not sure if i'll be able to jus pick it up myself...thanks

[DNYLNY]

you're a good turntablist

[harris2836]

With these turntables is it possible to use them for hardcore and dance music and that?, I dont no shit about this but im thinking off buying some and teaching myself to but i just need to no if you can use them for dance and stuff :)

[achildbyfire]

@harris2836 you can use these tables for whatever vinyl you wanna put on them, or use an mp3 to vinyl program like serato or traktor scratch. usually that type of music people tend to use cds instead of vinyl because of the amount of music they tend to spin, its easier to burn cds instead of finding a ton of vinyl...or like i said use mp3s. but to answer the question - yes, you can use these tables for everything basically.

[harris2836]

@achildbyfire So For using my own MP3's and that what will i need to buy? thats good for beginners. Like, Use CDs that i can burn my own mp3s onto and be able to scratch and mix them, id rather do that but im not sure what it is i need to buy =/. Thaaanks duude :)

[achildbyfire]

@harris2836 well you can either buy CDJ's which use CD's to mix/scratch. I've never used one so i dont know much about them. Or you can go vinyl and get an mp3 to vinyl program. they usually come with everything you need; basically just the program, the time coded vinyls you'll use, and the interface to hook them up to your computer. vinyl just seems a lot more hands on because you're actually touching the records and manipulating them, its very fun. but like i said, ive never used cd's though.

[Nickandbobbie2007]

buy this is for the dj skip proof scratch records theyre by dj sy i use em theyr perfect

[DJSCREWBIE]

sick

[DJSCREWBIE]

I'm buying the dj lab 3 basically because of YOU! I have a few questions.

1. Did you teach yourself?

2. Do they sell records mainly for scratching that just have like one word on them like fresh?

Your sick and u inspired me to get the dj lab 3, thanks man and keep up the sick style!

[achildbyfire]

@DJSCREWBIE yes i did teach myself,

I taught myself a lot of instruments though

so im somewhat musically inclined already.

and yes they sell scratch records specifically,

look for "battle" records or "break" records

or just scratch records and you'll find what

you're looking for.

thanks for the comments man.

[MrDarealsaint]

thinking about buying these are the namus ibattle

[ARKREPPIN479]

That sounds like Fit For A King

The intro from Chamillionaires Southern Royalty

[Luutthaslut]

[SamuraiJonez]

Dude, gotta say, your vids are whatitdo. I've been threatening to buy some tables n a mixer for well over 2 years now. Seeing these vids really has really inspired me to make a purchase. Preeshate it holmes, stay up.

[achildbyfire]

[BloodyFingerz]

[notjoelaporta]

This is friggin' TIGHT! Where did you get the vinyl with the nintendo music? That is incredible!  I'm picking up my first dj setup soon and that is something I have to get my hands on.

[Huntito]

damn man that was legit!

i'm pretty sure i'm going to pick up the DJ Lab 3, how do you like it as a whole set?

[hemhemimakatekobum]

Awesome scratching by the way I like the word scratches they sound real good.

[achildbyfire]

thanks much man, just keep practicing...thats all you can do to get good really.

[hemhemimakatekobum]

I've got the same setup but I'm nowhere near as good at scratching and my tables sound like ass.

[danielek33]

I like it. I consider the purchase. (My English is bad: P) added to Favorites

[danielek33]

Stanton Dj Lab 2 ??

[achildbyfire]

dj lab 3 actually

[Mistadobalina420]

this is my favorite of all your videos, shit's dope!

[achildbyfire]

thanks much dude!

[eddy4vaio]

where you buy yours vinyls?

[achildbyfire]

internet, local shops...

[mikehonda23]

when u make more vids man? watched all your vids u get better each time. upload some more lol

[achildbyfire]

thats a good question man haha...been slackin' lately.

ill see what i can do.

[musicG3]

Man you Killed this

[Agent766]

Wow you're amazing! I'm gonna have to get those...

[goyuri18]

nice scratching :)

ive got the same turntables..but on some parts on the vinyl i have got a little bit of distortion in my sound. how much weight did you put on your tonearm ?

[armyofme4340]

How long have you been scratching for and do you have an tips for beginners

[achildbyfire]

uh ive had my tables for like 2 years or so now but i dont use them on a daily basis...so i havent been scratching for a really long time i wouldnt say. I think for a beginner its important to understand a little about music and counting beats and bars and measures. if you can do that it will help you as a DJ...also i would just start simple, dont try to copy dj qbert right out of the box, yer gonna be lame at first, theres no way around it. just start simple and build off of that.

[Cupra123]

name of the scratch record (on the right) please?

[achildbyfire]

left table: arcade breaks

right table: hee-haw brayks (im addicted to this record)

[achildbyfire]

thanks much man.

[JoshiStudio]

DUDE THT WAS AWESOME!

[jmckinley]

What's the web site where you get your break records? Great vids!

[achildbyfire]

turntablelab . com, ebay, or local vinyl shops.

[jmckinley]

What would you say are the 5 essential break records?

[achildbyfire]

i'd highly recommend "hee-haw brayks" by DJ butchwax as it has a huge library sound on one side of it. it has every sound ive ever heard scratched basically compiled on one side...any other break records seem hit and miss as they all have some parts that i could find use for, and some that i cant...although im not all that knowledgeable/skilled at it so im prolly not a whole lot of help. any break record will have something you like and can use. try turntablelab online to preview vinyls first.

[sheisajunglerr]

i love this video so much, love this beat so much, good job on this one, i want to learn so bad, my cousin has turntables, but he won't teach me haha

[achildbyfire]

well thats not very nice of him, haha....thanks for the comments.

[oB33TLEJUIC3o]

I try to watch this one day...

[achildbyfire]

iiiii dont understand.

[oB33TLEJUIC3o]

I try to watch this once a day...bad English

[achildbyfire]

ahh okay i got ya. thanks, i appreciate it.

[lope58]

I'll have a stanton dj lab but you are very good in the turntables... i like it ;)

[PIEIPISIIIX]

( -_-)NICE (-_- )

[KrnJetli509]

do you have to have speakers to hook the turntables up to?? im not sure how it would produce the sound.. =P

[achildbyfire]

i have my turntables mixer hooked up to a little console mixer that you might see in a music studio or something. then that goes into my computer and everything hooked to that comes out of my computer speakers...so thats what i use for speakers. i explain it a little bit in my djlab.3 review video.

[tacit2367]

Man, amazing improvement compared to your first video. Keep it up! Dope! =D

[achildbyfire]

yea i have mine hooked up through my computer basically, or i use headphones...you could really get away with using any sound system for any price, it just depends on how much youre looking to spend and if youre going to be doing parties and what not...you could go with some desktop monitors or go with some big wattage amps and speakers...its whatever youre going to be using them for, i just use mine for fun so my desktop speakers are good enough.

[nfmstuff]

where do you get your records? I just bought used 2 stanton str8-100 decks and a stanton RM-3S mixer for $460 you think that is a decent deal?

[achildbyfire]

i just check ebay or theres a couple local record places still around in my area...and yea 460 for two tables and a mixer sounds like a great deal. the mixer looks better than mine by far.

[nfmstuff]

do you mainly but albums or singles? singles are easier to mix with right? since they have acapella and instrumental etc

[achildbyfire]

yea, when i was first searching for records i just tried to get a lot of hip hop instrumentals and/or acapellas...then i got a few scratch records and some albums also...i have a little bit of everything. but yea, if you wanna mix you definitely want instrumentals and acapellas.

[nfmstuff]

how long did it take you to get beatmatching down? i know it varies depending on time spent and the individual, but i'm just wondering in your case how long before you started gettin the hang of it

[achildbyfire]

um i would say i took to turntables in general pretty quickly. i have a good feel for music and writing music and everything like that so as far as realizing the tempos of songs and being able to match the two kind of fell in place pretty easily. but ive been around music for a while now and i seem to be a fast learner when it comes to it. if you can count the beats in music (basically 4/4 timing) and know how long the breaks are (4 bars, 8 bars, etc.) then youre half way there id say.

[LeakieLeak20]

Yoo man this track is dope, would love to see more of your tracks

[hemhemimakatekobum]

your scratchings really tight now you've improve alot and like you say this is when the camera's on. I would imagine like most people your best is when the camera's off and when you're more relax.

[achildbyfire]

thanks for checking out the vids dude.

[DaveChorowskiMusic]

yo were did you get that record and does it have the ahhh sound

[achildbyfire]

the record on the right has the ahh sound (obviously since i used it in the video.) im pretty sure the record on the left doesnt have the ahh sound...it doesnt have any scratch sounds i dont think, its just beats. google turntablelab and thats where i got my scratch records.

[4ndre4s13]

how do you get so high sound quality in too your computer??

[achildbyfire]

i explain my setup in the review i did, i should make another video explaining my setup more completely i guess, i take my table mixer into another mixer then into a usb interface...so its all internal, i dont use my camera's audio pickup for the vids, then i edit the audio track over top of the video track...so its more crisp that way rather than using the crummy mic on the camera, that may answer your question...

[4ndre4s13]

yea i know...... theTechnics SL1210MK5G is over 400:(

But you are amazing, respekt;D

[4ndre4s13]

the turntable is perfekt, I mean that it is just two outher turntables that is better than the t.80:P It is just the mixer that is not so good;D get a new mixer, and you are ready to be the new DJ :D

I think the stanton str8-150 deck and theTechnics SL1210MK5G Deck is better;D

[achildbyfire]

thanks for the comments man, yea the mixer isnt awesome, but its sufficient enough...dont have the cash to be blowing just yet on a better one!

[anatomylesson1]

what site do you buy your records off of

[achildbyfire]

turntablelab

[DjfireX]

Sweet that's the turntable I was looking at. Thanx for reviewing it btw. Also nice mix with the Zelda game.

[coilgunner2]

Daamn...I need an mp3 of this! Keep scratching!

[datbacker59]

it gets dope at 2:12

[Kieyavk]

Nice..

I need those arcade breaks,but my one of my tables just broke. I like your videos...

you look hot :)

--Kieya

[KeithBMI]

Great stuff!

How do you like the Stanton T.80s? I want to learn to scratch and I'm thinking about picking up two.

Thanks.

[achildbyfire]

yea, for the price they are they cant be beat for learning...they're pretty solid

[KeithBMI]

Thanks. I found your review right after I posted that... Durrrrh.

[adrianavalos909]

can you use a laptop with thoes turntables?

please get back at me thanks

[achildbyfire]

sure you can, you could either change the rca output on the mixer to be a laptop size headphone jack...or get an interface to plug yer mixer into and plug THAT into your laptop...basically he same way you hook them up to a pc...theres prolly also some other ways as well. bottom line -- yes you can hook them to a pc or a laptop.

[dennissudirdjo]

I've seen all of your video, it's f'in awesome..just wonderin' where do you get some of your records like the arcade breaks and superduck breaks..do you go to a local store or is there a good online site to go to

[seanmurray90]

i watched 1 of ure old videos//and u dident lie.. u got soooo much better... im lovin the game breaks.. so fuckin dope.. i need 2 pick it up. .

[classact1010]

great video, one of my favorites. i'm an oobernoob, and this might be a dumb question, how do you mark your vinyl? well, what do you mark it with. thanks much

[achildbyfire]

i use stickers, usually the little round or rectangle ones you get when you have a yard sale...the ones you right the price of shit on or whatever...you can either put them on the inside of the record to kinda let you know where a certain sound is, OR you can put the sticker straight on the vinyl (on the grooves) right BEFORE the sound or break you want. then place the needle where the sticker is and slow the record with your hand to let the needle skip to the exact groove where youve marked it.

[pakaganja]

oh nvm i saw it on the right lol

[pakaganja]

what vinyl did you use???

[choneythief]

Are those the stanton T60's?

[achildbyfire]

naa T.80s...its the djlab.3 setup

[ChilleyHippo]

Wow, that was just amazing. I'm a nintendo fan too. Anyways, how long did it take you to learn all this?

[achildbyfire]

i dunno, ive had the tables for around 6 months prolly.

and yea, i think the two beats are pretty serious haha
