DJ Riva Roma - House TenMinMix

[MrEddy500]

Hi. Can you tell me what u think of this mixer please? im thinking about getting one. Are the faders smooth from bottom to top? i mean is it a steady increase or are they quiet till the last quarter of the way? (if u know what i mean) Cheers :)

[ivankozlov19]

Steve Angello - That Sound. so amazing:)

[QuantumBasis]

Nice mixer, you need some turntables!!!!

[emoslap]

[6oIVAo9]

[iamroma]

[dionizas]

not impressed at all.

[ionenergiedj]

olav basoski feat mc spider-like dis-I love this song

[migginsmoose]

notice the korg electribe on the right hand side, whip out the dnb ;)

[jonnybruchi]

why is your crosfader only on the right sight ??

[lo1818]

Because he has both channels assigned to the right side and is using the volume faders to go in and out of each channel. Common amongst Dace sets.

[ionenergiedj]

because its desactivated...i have a urei to

[Negraindiacubana]

I love this song at the end who is that.

[kutingo]

[DJGio1991]

[nacs900619]

no mames wei ases pura pendejada mejor escucha underground U.C y aplikate ijo

[bigcanofspam]

pretty tight mixing dude. IMO u should try making sure that the tracks don't clash harmonically if ur gonna mix them together, a couple spots were kinda chaotic in that sense.

keep up the good work tho!

[alexdombi]

Plsssss guy`s Tell me tha name of the song "we gona make u move like this..we gona make y smowe like this.. we gona baunce u up and down..." PLS TEL ME SOMEONE THE NAME OF THE SONG !

[Ljuckes]

This mix is awesome!! I know a couple of peeps who would love, where can i download properly??

[devilmdma]

somebody help me answer this.

'can the blue LED's on the cdj 200 be turned off or on?'

[fkenjoi]

Not really. They're normally on regularly when there's a CD inside, off when there's no CD, and when there's an effect on they blink. Nice mix roma

-Fellow DJF member kudomonster

[TimTrance]

why would you want to?

[revolutioner51]

take the cdd out itll be off ;)

[toinesocool]

great tune at the start. steve angello quality xx

[junglishithead]

loed the 2nd! and ofcourse the legendary Supermode!!!:D

good mix

but i think i can do better lol.!

[karadismc]

look the BLACK PIRATE cds up on the right...

shame on you dj

but your remixes are SUPER

keep oN

[iamroma]

You don't know what you're talking about. I buy my music online from sites like beatport and djdownload and burn my own CDs. Most DJ music is not available on CDs anyway. I've switched to using DVS now, so I don't even need CDs, except as backup. Next time, think before you comment.

[karadismc]

sorry

[msherris15]

good mix, I liked the tunes! - I agree with a lower comment though, don't keep sticking the tune back into the mix after the song, the odd times its good though... hows the mixer aswel? I just ordered one today..

[juanchicjb]

name of firt track? please!

[BrandoB]

ok mix.. but please top turning up and down the volume after every mix!!... slow down.. smooth transitions... its ok for some songs... but not all. Good choices.. liked the mix.

[laoninja123]

Man i should have got cd Turn tables

I got the vinyl itch so i'll be usuing serato

Nice work keep it up

[laoninja123]

Yeahhh bay areaaa

[djxrme]

Nice mixx.  Like the transitions...

[rubixdesign87]

I really like it.

Good jod and continue like that ;-)

[JackOmoe]

Fantastic! I already got one CDJ 200 and the DJX-700 but a second CDJ 200 is to expensive =) But good job!

[jaycool9]

i got djx-700 as well. Good mixer but it has its faults in places. Very good video and must be a good candidate for the comp!

[sorinleinad]

SUPER DUDE !!!

[luisstone]

hEY ROMA... I lIKE YOUR MIX MAN!! GOOD JOB...

[luposcam]

hi..how do you feel with urei 1603???

[iamroma]

It's a good basic mixer, well built, nice sound, etc. If you need a mixer with 3-4 channels, no EFX and reasonable price, it's worth considering.

[1xi0n]

how much did you pay for it? I'm considering it or a DJM-400

[iamroma]

You can find it for around $600.

[iltochini]

Hi! good work, I have a question...Can you use the Electribe as EFX unit with the Send/Return?

[iamroma]

Yep, you can, although I found it adds a bit of noise to the signal and a lot of the effects it has weren't really designed to be applied to the final mix. A few of the effects, like delay and filter are pretty good though.

[ed0kun]

thats sick dude.. i really want to get tables.. do you have any input/preference/pros-cons for turntables and CD-DJs?

[iamroma]

That's a big topic. I suggest you go to DJforums dot com and search the forums for more information, you'll find a lot of threads on this topic.

[carlosclad]

hey man great job. whats the name of the last song around the 10min mark? Im seriously thinking about getting into djing...any adice you could through my way would be great.

[varde23]

the mixing is not that good.sorry:(

[ahucklesby1]

r u kidding its fantastic

[kemo909]

the mix is okay...track five is one of my favorites...original is by Bronski Beat -- "Smalltown Boy"...

[mabscotland]

u look like the guy off toy soldiers and u talk like him llf

[iamroma]

I must say, that's the best compliment I've heard so far. Thanks :)

[maxxeclipse88]

Did you teach yourself how to DJ? Or was it something that you took lessons for?

I too would like to become a DJ, and was wondering if DJing is something that comes as a instinct or something that people can do just by learning. And what you recommend is the best set-up?

I've seen some gigs where DJ's use 4 CDJ's and I never thought it would be possible to manage so much mixing. What do you typically do?

The mix is great, very well put together.

[iamroma]

You can definitely learn yourself, using YouTube videos and DJ forums for guidance. It helps if you know music well, have a good sense of rhythm, maybe know some music theory, but it's not a requirement. Don't worry about mixing of 4 decks, you won't be doing that for a long while, or ever. Just concentrate on mixing 2 records at a time, that will provide plenty of challenge for a year or two.

[iamroma]

As far as equipment is concerned there are two many options to list. I suggest you go to DJForums dot com and ask that question (in the beginners section). Don't forget to specify your budget and the style/genre of music you want to mix. Good choice would be 2 CDJ-800s or 400s, and a decent 2/3 channel mixer, something like Ecler Nuo 2 or 3. Avoid effects like a plague for at least first 6 months, they will only interfere with your learning.

[konabeeZ]

type 'ellaskins' in search

[djnemesis06]

very good my friend!!!

[hendigras]

Hey:) belive me or not,but I,ve got the same style as you:) Best wishes and all the best sets:)

[mattyhorrocks]

hey dude! Good work. Think u could give me a brief low down on the CDJ-200's?

[iamroma]

There have been a lot of good youtube reviews of them that would provide better information. However, if you have any specific questions send me a PM. BTW, I've switched to CDJ-800s.

[Muruder]

Suono da 5 mesi e ti metto nella sacca...stai proprio inguaiato

[petelabeat]

Not bad man! This is not quite my style, but I liked it! Keep it up : )

Are you happy with your mixer by the way? I`m thinking about getting one myself. Want something a bit different.

[laudatidj]

stai rovinato

ma ke musica suoni

e poi tecnicamente mi sembra ke stai sui piatti da 1 anno massimo

[Ravenstryk]

at 7 mins ya kinda lost the pitch but then you swung right back into it ^_^ great job :D

[Maudio13]

nice mix..check out my vids.

[orkosporko]

complimenti ;)

[sansec89]

why do you use the fader to one side its better in the middle and mix with effects try

nice mixing anyways

[iamroma]

I use up-faders to mix, a lot more control that way, not quite as good as rotaries though. Both channels were set to side B of the crossfader, I have an EFX unit, and I assign the EFX to crossfader A side, so I can use the crossfader as a wet/dry fader. I didn't use any EFX in this mix though.

[blasterowner]

People this is fake i can see the mix panel is not Same

[iamroma]

Huh?

[arsenalkosice]

kkt

[pados]

Dude ur mixing is terrible no offence, u have beat matched out of time and u already had it ready!! get some cdj 1000's, practice then post again in a couple of years! u will be embarrassed when u see this in a couple of years, trust me.

[iamroma]

Well, thank you for your opinion, check out my new mixes, you might like them better. And no, I will never be embarrassed, we were all beginners at some point and improved. Besides, I do this for fun, I have a career excelling at something else. Peace.

[hypercatjohn]

Take no notice, if people spend too much time listening to the ten seconds you're mixing for, rather than the actual tracks you're playing, then that's their problem. Good luck!

[compert]

dude no offence. more expensive equipment doesnt make a better dj. i wanna see u mixing.

@iamroma. nice stuff. keep it up

[djexoticfinest]

can you tell me do u use ur speaker system for big partys. like in weddings and stuff or do u have a different set for big partys? please reply to me i would like to know! thanks!

[iamroma]

No, my studio monitors and subwoofer would only work for smaller -indoor- dance parties (maybe <20 people dancing) or for occasions where only background music is required. For other occasions I would rent or borrow a bigger sound system, depending on what is needed. Given that this is only my hobby, and that I don't do many mobile gigs, I didn't yet buy my own bigger sound system.

[xNiTrOg3nx]

hey i like the transition for the last som]ng what is the name of that mixer good work

DJ DIESEL

[iamroma]

Thanks. I use Urei 1603 mixer.

[fermixx]

four band EQ? that's madness!

what about this mixer, i found it for 458 euro, and it seems pretty interestinggg

in addition, urei is well known as a good mixer constructor

[iamroma]

It's a 3 band EQ actually, but the EQ is really good, it almost sounds like a filter.

[fermixx]

so the 5 knobs are 3eq's, gain and send for fx units, arent they?

[iamroma]

Exactly :)

[OyezstrakerHoofdrc]

your mixxing isabit off, technically not that great yet, Your track listing is good. Focus on your mixing mate. your mixing has prob got better since filming this , im just giving some constructive critism

[kobrabog]

where i can find some your remix??

[iamroma]

I haven't uploaded anything to my website yet, but I am working on it, please stay tuned. Thanks.

[ilkayacar]

bırak bu dj ayaklarını ...!

[iamroma]

What does that mean?

[ricosuave20]

nice mix bro but u couldve mix more than 5 trax bro i mixed 9 in 10 min...keep it up tho

[iamroma]

Check out my new mix, I've got 7 transitions in that one. Also, it's not just about quantity, there's more to DJing than quick cuts from one song to another. Thanks for watching :)

[BrizzyBrizz]

you answered my question with your tracklisting I never looked at duh

[BrizzyBrizz]

dirty brother whats the track that drops around the 3 min point .... grimybassline business love it

[michal620]

Hello

I like very, second track:)

technical - good

tracks - good

[iamroma]

Thanks!

Dziekuje!

[ShawneeNYC]

Nice mix.. Good song :) Shawnee Taylor

[DJLEE12345]

hey nice setup m8 and like the mix verry smooth transactions between tracks,whats the make of that mixer it looks great, 5 starz:)

[iamroma]

Thanks. The greatest thing about posting videos on Youtube is comments like these, very inspirational.

[NickBrown4]

Mixer looks nice to use. Dan next time we go down to htfr (if u ant got the mixer by then) we can av a look at it and see what it rly is like

[langerz38]

ok buddy thanks 4 that youve made my mind it :) i wanted the new pioneer djm 700 and have started to get the money 4 it however my bank account seems to disagree with me lol cheers bro

[iamroma]

Glad to help. But, if you have a chance, give a try before you buy :)

[stonerfield]

Just the vid I was looking for... Currently working on my EQ skills... Picked some up points from your vid. ^^ Great mix.

[langerz38]

i am concidering buyin the erei mixer?any comments to make before i purchase the bad boy?

[iamroma]

Great sound, and built like a tank. The channel faders are non-linear with steeper curve at the top, and they are fairly tight (but smooth), works great for mixing. The cross-fader is an alpha fader, similar to Pro X Fade, just not as good. EQ is super, and the cueing scheme is one of the most flexible I've seen. Overall, I highly recommend it.

[dclambert]

What no Vinyl???

[iamroma]

Vinyl is yesterday's news, but that's a matter of hotly debated opinion. Most entries here use either CD players or DVS system, like Torq or SSL. I've recently upgraded to CDJ-800s though, which have vinyl emulation (not the real thing, but it will do for now).

[moviemanacct]

cool vid. hey i am from the bay as well. pm me if you every want to get together and mix some music. i'm a house dj, use pretty much the same equipment. letm e know - peace

[Viktordj]

troppa confusione...

[iamroma]

Thanks for you comment, but what do you mean by "too much confusion"?

[00Gerome00]

Hye , thanks for your comment ! . Very good playhouse mix man !GREAT !!!See you ....

[fuego3131]

Very nice mix.

[McLiga4]

good mix m8, but... you're nothing without EQ =P TrY an UREI of the old ones, a 1620LE ;)

[iamroma]

I have tried it, it is sweet, but I like my EQs :)

[silvialain]

Very nice tunes in this mix , great mixing :)

Good luck

[JonAvalon]

Nice job Riv!!

[djaykuta]

GREAT Roman!!!!

[mehike14]

Nice mix :)Good flow and tracks :):)

[harveyHB]

DJF !! DJF !!

diddnt get a new entry in to the competition... will do next time though.... nice mix BTW

[xlordjamesx]

Thanks for your support man, and nice mixing.

House House House!

[iamroma]

Haha, House rulz!

[MrRoboto2000]

Great songs! Loved the mix! Keep at it.

[reinohh]

Nice mix. Nice toons. Good luck on the comp.

[BPMDETECTORPRO]

Nice mix...when you do your up fader actions when on the exit, sometimes you can also slowly fade them out using eq (middle) or trim, so it just does not end abruptly...that is how I do them on exit on my last vid...good luck with the comp

[iamroma]

Good idea, I'll try that.

[Afrobrit]

Nice one - love that groove!

[rjdrowley]

I like the music you play, ive always wanted to spin house but i cant afford it and the genre i usually play both on vinyl...Songs are great, i love Supermode! Mixing spot on ;) Keep them coming id love to hear more, oh and your mixer looks AWESOME!!!!

[iamroma]

Thanks! And what you do mean you can't afford it?

[rjdrowley]

I'm only 16 and getting multiple genres on vinyl is just too expensive for me as i do not earn enough really...but im trying to save for Serato or Torq to combat that :)

[iamroma]

I see, good luck with that. I'm actually thinking about Torq as well, it's a pain to burn and organize all of my CDs.

[latinoplayboy123]

to rjdrowley.... ay dont go pc ive been dere done that... to many complications for what its worth... things like midi controlers and buyin software drains your wallet... if u think vinyl is to much go cds...better sound quality den a comp... an mp3 is a compressed music file taking away sounds to make the file smaller. so jus b aware of that and that djin software runs mainly using mp3... then comes the computer problems but thats a story for another day... practice n enjoy ;)

[iamroma]

Many DJs use SSL and Torq successfully, it's not a problem. You don't need any extra controllers, just your TTs and a mixer. Also, most people can't tell a difference between a CD and 320Kbps MP3 file, which is what online DJ stores sell (you can buy CD quality WAV files too). Of course, low bitrate MP3 files, below 256Kbps, are not recommended. All this doesn't matter for YouTube though, since YouTube uses 128Kbps and below for audio.

[latinoplayboy123]

u 4got bout the sound card with 4 in and 4 outs which gotta hav good sound quality. maya44 usb sound card does the job but not the best audio... with serato u get a sound card so dats all good... wif a pc u got more of a risk of loosing music through over use of ur harddrive and ur cpu with its constant use. always keep a spare hd handy... also wif pc djin u lose the feel of REAL djin... its jus not the same.. if uve tried it u know wat i mean

[iamroma]

Good advice about the spare hard drive, definitely need to have a backup for your music. SSL, Traktor Scratch, and Torq Connectiv all come with a good sound card built in. I am not sure I agree about "loosing the feel of real DJing" but that's a matter of opinion I guess.

[grishashvili]

Nice one, let me know when you spin in San Francisco :)

The only thing (IMHO) I hate it when DJs make big pauses with only little beeping and ticking in the background, for example here 5:39-6:01 there is a very long pause. Again, this is only my taste, I will still come to your party event! ;-)

[iamroma]

Thanks for checking it out. Yeah, I don't like these pauses too much either. But this "shock" vocal just did it for me.

[BPMDETECTORPRO]

I don't think he did a loop over the break at 5:39-6:01 so it is part of the music.

[djexentrix]

nice work man. what mixer is that you're using?

[iamroma]

That's a Urei 1603. It's awesome for mixing House, and about anything else where long transitions are common. The EQs are sweet and the sound quality is very good. Cue section is one of the most flexible that I've used. You can probably find a PDF manual online for more info.

[UltraDeMontreal]

Good luck Roma, way to lay down an opening track.

[iamroma]

Thanks. I didn't do that great for the last two tracks, but, oh well.

[DJPWN]

that was fun ! great mix.
