Vestax VCI-100 MIDI controller with Mac DJ software "djay"

[TheTayuco]

stop waisting ur time on that dj software!!! virtual dj is way better try that one or traktor or serato not that SHIT!

[DJShortgino]

does that software come free with any mac book pro?

[hancuffs]

@DJShortgino no

[10minuteguitar]

@DJShortgino No, its fifty dollars.

[DIELANEULE]

wannabeeeees! save the vinyl

[LutzakVideos]

should i buy this or the spin. i am a beginner

[Bassmastajazzyj]

This seems to be a better choice since its cheaper and you can use all the music on your computer, am I right? Cuz all of that DJ equipment is far too much money for me.

[reivaj516]

I love serato.

[djscratchdog]

Keep on practicing you will get better my friend..

PEACE!

[djwillie]

terrible...u sux my friend

[DJrainwater]

[DylanDam]

learn to deejay mann

[EnglandMUCH]

the guy controlling it actually sucks pretty badly

[barracuca]

para hacer eso no lo subo al youtube, y menos para mezclar esos temas así de esa manera tan cutre.

[vietboi04]

how much would one of those mini turn table be?

[jangle2000]

They just released a new MIDI controller for djay for $250 called Vestax Spin. Check the djay website.

[daveynielsen]

Damn dude this is way tight , nice work!

Where did you learn to do that??

[mvelizsur13]

headphone jack to rca's will give you sound you need a usb adapter for que play sound

[captcomputer]

For external speakers.. how do you hook them up?

[LonelyVietz]

@captcomputer rca cables thru a power amp then from power amp to speakers :)

[maoriboy298]

its awesome how you put daft punk in it

[FORZA101010]

is this better than the ITCH and the vci-300?

[DJBlaze2008]

You can be a great dj without all the expensive fancy gear, but no one will take you seriously till your using the big brand names. It's a political thing! Every dj has their own style and opinion on gear. Just continue to love the music you spin and the rest will come with time and experience. I don't want to sound like I was contradicting my original post from the last 2 posts, but it really depends on how good you are when your experienced till then the toys do help a lot!

[blacklistmember]

you are totally right my friend

[DJBlaze2008]

Oh and if you want to be a DJ Producer you need to get gear from Allen & Heath (controllers, mixers), M-Audio (Torq), Pro Tools, Native Instruments Mashine Controller, A Couple Mac Books, Stage Monitors, Studio Monitors, Etc.

To start out maybe play around with FL Studio, Re-Birth, Reason and use a keyboard midi controller with a couple touch screen monitors. That will put you on your way to achieving the skills and having the gear. Then you just have to meet the right people.

[DJBlaze2008]

Who care's about what gear you have! I can spin with traktor, virtual dj, serato, torq, dual decks, cdj's, etc. But I can also mix 2 records together with no software for visual assistance. It's not about the gear! It's about the skills the dj has but more importantly it's all about the music!

A good DJ can spin with any gear and sound good. Besides this is a demo video on the new mac software with a vestax controller. So who really cares what skill he has or what gear he's using.

[bfelic032]

agree man its all about the skillz and the love for music..ive been trying to get started in music production/mixing and creating tracks..and i dont know exactly how to get started tho. i mess around with garageband and shit but it just seems frustrating cuz i dont know what to do lol. im 17 and looking for any advice on how to get started in this career and to fulfill my love for my music. i would appreciate any comments!..thanks

[DJBlaze2008]

To be honest, it sucks but your beginning abilities are limited to your financial situation! It all depends on what gear you can afford. I don't know what gear you have now, but I recommend using Serato Scratch Live with either Technics 1200's or Pioneer CDJ 1000 MK3's with a Pioneer DJM 600 or 800 mixer. Thats the setup that you want. But if you need to go cheap, go with American Audio products till you can afford the other gear. Use Abbleton Live or Pro Tools for music creation with Mashine.

[DJgyapjas]

well, it depends on what would you do. To start DJ ing (mixing) i reccomend you to use VirtualDJ it' smart and with keyboard shortcuts you can make good mixes. If you take it seriously you can advance to Ableton, and buy a midi controller ( total control, Westax, m-audio...) Ableton is good at pre mixing and making mash-ups. But if you want to create your own beats you should download reason or Logic and buy a midi keyboard. don't buy expensive stuff even Deadmau5 started with fl-studio

[SBxMarc]

If you dont have turn tables and

wanna DJ use

"Virtual Dj"

this program is crap..!!

IF you have turn tables Get serato scratch Live

GLAD I COULD HELP... IF YOU BELIEVE IM RIGHT

"THUMBS UP">>

[Wakeupsleepyhead1984]

ya i can use traktor 3 BETTER with no mixer. If i knew u i'd kick ur ass and take ur setup

[mariomario1981]

u fail sirr....small criple fail...the opposite of big game win bitch!!!

[putino]

what is the name of the loop you have on the right side?

[Dan1jel]

i use Djay and i like to know where u got that bass loop, or things like that one your using?!

thnx

[Kaliber35]

If I saw you DJing like that I would laugh my ass off. Actually, Im sitting here next to my 1210's and DJM 800 with Serato in shock that you have this in public. Learn to beat match. At MANY points scattered in this "mix" you trian-wrecked.

[FreestylerD]

relax dude, dont hate just cuz ppl cant afford expensive ass equipment. I agree that this kid sucks but i get gigs using a laptop

[rawdney88]

i use ableton on my mac and i'd make u look like an idiot with my mixes. if you want to scratch then spend a grand for all i care. but mixing wise u dont need shit but talent and ears.

[munchryan]

Kaliber35. You probably dont even have 1210's or the 800. Your just a sad little man sat on here trying to belittle people with big brand dj brands, Good on you. This video was not entitled "OmGzz Im dA B3st DEEJAY Evaa" Its quite clearly just showing us a demonstration, so calm the fuck down you weird man.

however i am so gutted you can't get djay on XP :(

[munchryan]

*Big name dj brands

[MarkoRa87]

RICH BITCH thats all i have to say :) spoiled kid

[WorldWideRomance]

well if he's a dj, then he's not necessarily spoiled, it would be his job. lol.

[MarkoRa87]

sry i was making a comment on Kaliber35 x)

[DANCESwithMUPPETS]

i need to find headphone that convert to usb. any ideas?

[ArcticProductions]

Just google headphones usb converter they have a bunch on Amazon

[TheKoukiMonster]

whats the name of the base beat playing the whole time?

[Sterosukkerz]

thats just a normal loopdont knew the name but not a song

[LiamMoloneyMusic]

Nice Mix its really good and thank you for telling me where to get a controller for Djay I really want one

[Bkzking33]

will djay work with any mixer and turntables hooked up to your computer?

[Bkzking33]

how do u hook up the mixer to the computer?

[jangle2000]

With a cable. :) It has a USB connector.

[taeskyhigh]

so you can basicly do it like serato take the rca plugs and plug it to the sound card that ends in a usb plug and hook it to your mac?

[Konkaver]

How hard is this to learn?

[jakovd]

medium hard. :)

[lamoncio68]

good mix man, hey I can't figure out how to pre-cue, I have a macbook pro and a dj io sound card, any tips on how to do it, what did u do on the settings?

Thanks.

[mrsunshine1991]

i luv it... i have djay on my mac, but i just don't know how to do some stuff like that...

[zmbluesjr]

man that's tight! I wish I knew how to do this kind of stuff...

[DellDee]

nice mix man!!!

[jangle2000]

There was a karaoke booth right across which was playing during the first minute of the video so you might want to skip that.

[robertorodriguezBE]

@jangle2000 DUDE, please stop.. That's some bad mixing right there...Make sure your beatmixing is in control before you post something.... Ugh.
