DJ Spinna on Traktor Scratch

[Tsparks315]

no doubt bro lol

[utubeDiode]

so is that mixer also a midi controller or is it setup with two audio outputs from the soundcard?

[rickybirikkino1]

the king!

[BenjaminBixby]

Wow...very impressive. He's so comfortable with everything.

[KarameloKaramelo]

nothing special really.

[cmangy]

It bugs me when people see a computer being used live and automatically assume the computer is doing all the work and creativity. It's a tool, like a turntable, a guitar, or any other instrument. +Sick video

[ScorchinBeats]

I know, right? It just makes DJ'ing quicker and more efficient.

[EbbySUPREME]

@cmangy : agreed!!!

[druha10304]

god damn

[kharydiaz]

What MAC OS, do you use DJ Spine?, Is a macbook o powerbook? and version the traktor?

Tnks

[opakatze]

No, normal TTs with Timecode Vinyls.

[Frankiej020]

are those MIDI turntables?

[doemaeries]

@Frankiej020 no, these are timecodes

[sweepee123]

is that a vestax 08 the spinna is flexin'?

[EJIS1979]

great video.

[sliikz]

SERATO SCRATCH LIVE ALL THE WAY BRU BRU

[Tsparks315]

@sliikz Thn why are you watching the Traktor scratch live vid?

[sliikz]

@Tsparks315 because i can watch anything i want without any of ur dam consent

[Tsparks315]

@sliikz lol i never said you needed consent so untangle ur G-string there mary, im just saying you look like an ass when you say stupid things like you did ^_^

[sliikz]

@Tsparks315 hahaha no well in my view i just prefer scratch live iono other apps confuse me thats why so it might of sound stupid but its just my likes

[turntablewiz]

can someone help me? new to this dj stuff. just purchase 2 numark cdx. want 2 learn how to blend in one song to the next, so i can keep the crowd dancing. does this program automatically do that for you? please help.advice is real good.

[peeringthrough]

You still need to know how to DJ. The program won't beat match for you.

[dreeezer]

in fact you don't have to be present at the party, the program does it for you!

[bensolloway]

@turntablewiz I cant even begin to tell you whats wrong with that statement.. 

[write2kc]

For all the dudes posting negative comments about this video...here's a thought for you.

First...you have no idea if this was the very first time Spinna laid hands on this setup.

How would you like it if the first time you worked with any hardware or software...some one jumps to conclusions about your skill. You boys better get a f'n clue if you don't know who DJ Spinna is. Do some research. Go to his MySpace page an see the legends he works with that YOU don't . Think again b4 reacting.

[Khultan]

@write2kc  God bless you. : )

[heyyyfalcooone02]

This sucks ass

[RebelSoul1979]

Total Ignorance pal.

[heyyyfalcooone02]

not really.....I know the difficulty of what he is doing, it just wasnt good though. You cant tell me that this could have been alot better.

[RebelSoul1979]

I dont know bud, I thought it was quite good. He not a turntabilist in the sense of q bbert, but he still has good developed scratch skills.

[heyyyfalcooone02]

I agree with you that he has some good scratch skills and he is good with a pair of turntables but this set just wasnt good

[RebelSoul1979]

Agree to disasgree, but there's many who think its agreat clip, but lets face you're not hearing/seeing the whole gig to define the set.

[heyyyfalcooone02]

yeah well if its anything like this then, no

[RebelSoul1979]

Mate its the music that counts, its not the mixing and tricks that counts, its the music he plays and its good music.

[heyyyfalcooone02]

You must be kidding me.....If that was the case then everyone could go to a club and DJ! Then why do they even have DJ's....If the mixing doesnt matter then why dont the clubs just setup a CD player and press play rather than paying a good DJ to play???? They hire the DJ to properly mix the tracks and make everything sound nice and smooth.....unlike this video that I just watched where nothing was smooth at all. I know he is scratching and shit but it still should have been better. Thats all

[RebelSoul1979]

Dude your missing the point its not about mixing, its the tunes that important, anybody can mix and once they get good can do it really well.

Mixing isnt the be all and end all is the music that counts.

Some of the best dj's aren't even that good at mixing, but the strength in there style is more than enough, and the flow they create, Larry Levan wasn't a technically good dj but the way he played his records created something more than the sum of its parts.

[heyyyfalcooone02]

Well this video isnt called "Cool Tunes with DJ Spinna" is it? This video wasnt posted for the music. It was posted by Native Instruments to show us someone who uses Traktor Scratch and what hes doing with it.......and its NOT THAT GOOD!

[RebelSoul1979]

All tractor scratch is showing is that you manipulate mp3 in the same respect as vinyl e.g. scratch, juggle, and beatmix + some extra's effects, double copies etc.

It is GOOD he's not q bert, q bert is more a turntable instrumentalist i.e. he's treating it like a instrument.

Spinna is using the techniques to create a flow to his set.

[heyyyfalcooone02]

I already knew that.....I'm just saying, the flow wasn't good!

[RebelSoul1979]

Mate you dont have a clue.

[heyyyfalcooone02]

I do cause I use this shit everyday. He doesnt suck, just this 2 and a half minutes that I'm hearing doesnt sound as good as it should.

[RebelSoul1979]

What do you mean you do this everyday?

[heyyyfalcooone02]

I mean I turn on my mac, my technics and my mixer everyday and play, I know what it takes to do this and that spinna is a good dj but I just wasnt feel this at alll!

[RebelSoul1979]

Then have a bit of respect mate, this is actually good.

As I've said before and you understand it, we'll agree too disagree and leave at that.

[tygaelement]

weh u dreadlocks deh?

[holabobobo]

cool

[BlackRabbit18]

what kind of mixer is that?

[ginsud]

vestax 08 pro

[BlackRabbit18]

oh ok thats what i was thinking

[mojosdjco]

what songs is he using at the beggining of his mix

[SufiDog]

The first minute is "Free your mind" by the Politicians.  It's on one of the famous Ultimate Breaks & Beats records (#21).

[omnipotentspeck]

WTF are you talking about? His flow almost completely falls apart 2 or 3 times. Terrible.

[deepaintpish]

Get a fuckin grip like you could do better

[stewartnell]

The scratching sounds flat and electronic on time code discs rather than vinyl

I can tell the diffrence scratching on vinyl sounds fresh with open highs.

[BobbySignal]

Best producer I've heard in a while.

[gusivey1]

Check out the Mr. Madd Remixes on Youtube!!

[thedominio]

spinna is a genius on beats. he has is own unique style

[thanilche]

could somebody tell me if you can use scratch as an external soundcard too?

[Technics147]

thanx Eurosoe88

[eurosoe88]

Tecnics 147:

You can definately hook up CDJs to traktor scratch. It comes with 2 vinyls and 2 cds with time code.

This is the craziest hardware yet! I owned the original Final Scratch, and this one is 1000 x better!

Nice vid BTW! You got mad skills!

[Technics147]

can you hook up CDJ's with traktor scratch?

[decalpha1]

whats up man nice scratching are your decks linked to Traktor or are you scratching vynl

[bigmelo19]

[deepaintpish]

Aint that a vestax mixer

[dhhf01]

DJ Spinna is the MAN!

[Hady85]

WHAT MIXER IS THAT?

[copperheadretro]

Not a %100 but looks like some sort of RANE mixer.

[Hady85]

thanks

[braeae]

Vestax PMC-08 Pro

[kaspariito]

flawless

[groupesechs]

amazing. does traktor work with ssl's interface?

[deepaintpish]

He really does put a lot of DJ's to shame utter quality man.

[Questbx1]

amazing just look up a track on the lap top and never remove the vynl[ make the djs lazy]

[Dj0lan]

What's the name of the first song?

[disconnexions]

The Politicians - Free Your Mind; a classic break beat.

[scottybuckets]

its a MacBook Pro or Powerbook (cant tell if theres a isight on top)... works great with mac's... my personal choice

[matiin54]

is that a macbook?? if it isnt, is it good with macbook anyways??

[henrygee69]

Dang! I got a Macbook Pro + I love Hip Hop...Tell me what time of turntables+mixer+hardware+soft­ware do I need? Most of my perfomances are backyard boogies and afterhour sessions at the house. Suggestions?

[Chimo88]

Ask an DJ Froum !

[henrygee69]

that's f$#@n' bright Idea!

[DJrradon]

get traktor dj studio 3

[djprycey18]

[LemonAndYoghurt]

Ok. what are the breaks he's scratching?

I know the first one, and the second, but the rest?

[Conscious]

Hmmm Traktor Vs. Serato

[LzI]
