  1. Hey Steve, make sure the traktor button on which ever deck is lit, then hold shift and press the traktor button again and it will put the deck into live input. This will let you use effects & record vinyl records from within Traktor. Hope that helps!
  2. Yup, she's endored as well as Mix Master Mike, Jazzy Jeff, D-Styles etc... Not sure how she made the cut... http://serato.com/icon
  3. Thanks! Love that beat, will cut for days on it.
  4. Hey, I downloaded the link but It opens up into a flash player, basically I'm confused how I can record this and cuts at the same time on my computer. Is it possible to get these in mp3 format or something so I can play in on my deck #2?
  5. The xfader only cuts vinyl if the curve is adjusted all the way to the left so I think I need to recalibrate.
  6. Picked mine up today on a whim, fucking love it! Huge upgrade, never knew DVS was so cool, finally glad they started making all in ones so I didn't have to buy the software and stuff seperate. I tried playing with vinyl but the xfader was not working as well as dvs. I dunno why I'm sure I will figure it out. To busy cutting with my new badass mixer! I have never used a good xfader it's finally good to know what it feels like, and I'm pretty sure you can tweak it in the software? I'll have to check the manual! Peace guys! I basically bought this after reading this thread/a little bit of research so thank you!
  7. Thanks for the responses, I've had turntables for a couple years but only really did the basic scratches like baby/forward/transform/chirp. For probably 2-3 months been going hard trying to learn all sorts of new scratches and trying to get the basics really clean.
  8. Hey guys, I've been putting in lots of practice on my timing(still lots of practice to go to stay on beat) and learning some new moves from people on this forum and I can already tell the difference personally, but I'd appreciate any feedback on how and what I should improve. http://soundcloud.com/migvelaz/scratch-session-11-15-2012
  9. Voted for Rock Well, my kind of beat to scratch to.
  10. Well.. I think I'm sold! I was thinking of holding out for one of the new rane's but realistically they are way to expensive for me to just be using it inside my own house. Will be buying soon!
  11. Read this whole thread. Never used DVS but have been wanting to give it a try ontop of my regular vinyl, and I think I'm sold on this mixer if you guys are confirming it's all good to scratch on, I think i'll be able to live with stiff line faders. I know most people use laptops to run the software and everything but is there really any negative to using a desktop computer for a DVS setup besides lack of any mobility what so ever that I'm not thinking of? Edit: And if someone could just elaborate on control vinyl. "A special 'scroll track' allows you to select your next tune using only the turntable- with no need to touch your computer." Does this feature work well? Choosing tracks right on the turntable sounds really awesome.
  12. Can't give any constructive feedback since I'm no where near your level but I thought it sounded awesome! Keep practicing!
  13. Awesome cuts! How do you like the new super seal? Saw it at the record store was tempted to pick it up. Is it just scratch samples or some beats too?
  14. I don't really do that to find the BPM but I "ride" the pitch fader to make sure my blends are nice and clean in a hip hop transition.
  15. Hey I'm Miguel from Ottawa, Canada, work in a call center for a credit card company & am going to school for accounting. I spin hip hop mostly from 80s, 90s and underground & I do a lot of scratching and recording mixtapes etc. I'm saving up for a DVS but not in a rush to go out and buy anything yet, so far I only use vinyl records(original copies only aside from scratch records) and am constantly adding to my collection. Love collecting records as much as actually DJing . My most rare/expensive record would probably be an original copy of Operation: Doomsday from MF Doom. Although I've had turntables for a while I'd describe myself as intermediate/still learning since I'm only starting to really try to improve & have only just begun recording myself(I sound shitty! lol). Look forward to improving the cuts/mixes with you guys!
  16. Voting is closed but I would have voted for Cirkut, was really impressed with the skill level in all files though, good work!
