Yeah !!that’s my first impression as well! first thing came to my mind. It’s fair enough though if you bare in mind that he has uploaded a full set up and mixing course on his website requiring subscription… so making this video for free.. we can’t tell it’s worth it for him 😢

@technology42069 2 года назад

other mixers (allen & heath eg) often have plenty of headroom built in to avoid clipping. Pioneer is digital generally so clipping occurs sooner/ easier in my experience. Depends on your mixing style too. i generally gain my tracks before I begin playing them as I often have very old tracks that arent as loud as modern mixes.

@ant73uk1 Год назад

an important thing to make sure you check when stepping up to this mixer is what the line outputs are set to (A, B, or thru). Any one who hasnt used a this setup could be confused when their FX don't come out

In dealing with the gain. What if the recording level is low on the next song you want to mix in? Cause i keep having to adjust the gain when it comes to tracks that have a low recording level?

@digitaldjtips 3 года назад

That's fairly normal, you could try something like Platinum Notes if you like to try and make your tracks more consistent so you don't have to tweak the gain as much between tracks

Not a controller its a full cdj setup. Each CDJ is about 1,000 off the lot plus 1,500 for the mixer.

@thatsmyjamdj 3 года назад

I really wanted to watch this, but the constant chipping in about controllers not having this and that…James Hype doesn’t play with a controller. It would be way better if there was one vid for cdj’s and a different vid for controllers that pauses when he says something and dub over with the specific things for controller users 🤷🏽‍♂️

@RaquelFoster 3 года назад

There are a lot of settings and it's nice to have your preferred settings stored on a thumb drive then make sure you load them when you're playing on someone else's gear. They didn't mention quantize. He has the CDJ quantize off. If you have quantize on that can make hot cues really frustrating. Quantize on the mixer makes your FX line up to the grid, but quantize on the CDJ makes your hot cues not respond until the next full beat.

@digitaldjtips 3 года назад

Yes very true :) We mention Quantize quite a bit during the course because it's not set and forget, James is constantly turning it on/off depending on the technique so he definitely doesn't just have it off

what dj controllers does james hype use..? i really want to achieve that level of using 4'decks still a beginner would love to no how it works do i need a specific dj controller that can connect external decks .. if so what controller what that be..??

@digitaldjtips 3 года назад

James uses a CDJ setup rather than controllers but it's entirely possible to pull off his tricks with a wide range of gear including controllers, in the course we have him pull off a couple of his signature routines on the DDJ-1000 and 400 to show it's basically all the same :) The DDJ-1000 would be worth a look if it's within budget, 4 decks by itself or you can hook up a couple of CDJs or turntables to it

You can find the original songs and find the pitch that way but a lot of times you can mix by ear. Doesn't always have to match pitches. It can work with 5ths and other harmonics as well. But it's good practice to train your ears as well.
