Been DJing since starting on belt-drives 25 yrs ago.. when I started there was no guide or RU-vid, and I thought you had to manually count the BPM of every track, calculate the % difference in speed, then adjust the pitch accordingly haha! But just to say huge respect Phil and glad DJ Tips is doing so well - Your vids are awesome and no pretentiousness is even better. All the best mate 👊

@mikesterloc Год назад

As a kid of the 80s I remember stealing money from my mum and dad to hit up the record shops. I remember the first thing I did was to physically count how many beats per minute and mark it on the corner of the sleeve. Glad I don't have to do that anymore...although I do miss the early Saturday morning train ride into the city as a 12 year old. The world was so big back then. My 12 year old wont even walk to the end of our street...

@DanielleKingdjdinosaur 3 года назад

the layout is great.The pad section is nuts but in a good way.The hardware side which my thing is top notch.I doubt i will do much deep diving into the multitude of options on the screen but having the browser and wave forms right in front of you is great.

@georgeapperly6269 2 года назад

Just bought this mixer and massively impressed great bit of kit. One thing I’m struggling with is - is there a way to “move” loops. On the SX2 you could make a loop and then jump that loop forward or back. Can this be done on the S11?

@johnparker8270 3 года назад

Nice to see turntables getting features we as controller Djs had nearly 10 years ago with the original sx😂. Never really understood why they got rid of dual deck mode on the sx 2. It was a cool feature for 4 deck mixing.

@digitaldjtips 3 года назад

Yeah agreed re dual decks mode!

@giancarlo4756 3 года назад

i own the sx2, you can do dual deck mode by hitting both or the decks (1&3 or 2&4) at the same time.. ;p it was only the buttons that missing..

so Pioneer have finally updated the S9.Its well laid out has a very nice screen with one or two very cool features.Much of the extra whistles and bells might be more then i need and of course there is the Pioneer tax but unlike their flagship players this thing is a well laid out well thought out good looking mixer with some killer features.The big obstacle is price but it has been that way for some time.The limited edition of this is fab

@digitaldjtips 3 года назад

Yes agree re the limited edition, shame it is not the same price though as the regular edition.

@DJKISSchitown 3 года назад

I love the limited edition model also. The price is my dilemma too. Having access to deck 3 and 4 means blends can be easier to make on the fly. This is the feature that is calling my name. Along with smooth echo!

@jimc1499 2 года назад

I got this mixer last month after having the rane 72 for 1 year just for the multi decks. If rane does a software update for 4 decks will probably use the rane 72 more. Both mixers are top of the game. Pioneer comes out more expensive though

@MrBobDigits 2 года назад

Hey Phil! If I wanted to spin both house music and some scratching, is this mixer worth it? Or should I consider the 900 instead? I don’t like that there are not 4 dedicated channels but like the pad mode on the mixer for turntables

@digitaldjtips 2 года назад

You identify a definite point of difference. If you mainly want to mix, with a bit of scratching, and need those extra channels (most people truthfully don't), the 900 is the better bet - but you're right that having the controller (eg pad) functions is a definite plus for the S-series mixers.

@tallras1 3 года назад

Question Phil, how does the touch screen transfer tonthe Serato software, is it on the laptop as well, or simply on the mixer?

@digitaldjtips 3 года назад

The laptop shows the usual Serato waveforms, and if you choose to have Serato display its waveform vertically, then yes - the waveforms on the laptop appear similar to those on the mixer.

@huwwackman_excel 3 года назад

I can see some of these feature being implemented into the CDJ 3000, especially as it's processor is extremely fast now.. I knew Pioneer had the tech, they were just waiting to drop bombs.

That's a good idea. Obviously soon enough the CDJ-3000s will be compatible, but it seems strange that both Serato and Pioneer have made such a big deal out of this launch, yet there doesn't seem to be much urgency about the CDJ-3000.

No! Sampler FX shares the same button as the smooth echo. To activate it, hold shift and click smooth echo. It will blink and the sampler FX will be on. Having sampler FX set to master will only give you half intensity. Allocating it to A instead will give you more intensity.

No doubt this mixer is amazing...But to me its just overkill and complex.. Also we heard Pioneer say they made the CDJ 3000 basic because they did not want to confuse DJs with the unnecessary standard features available on all other DJ equipment and for that you pay more - But get this, with less standard features??? Okay if you say so Pioneer... Then how do you explain the overkill on this mixer? Just marketing I'd say...

@digitaldjtips 3 года назад

It is not complicated at all on the surface. It is actually a very simple mixer, by design - because it is aimed at performance / battle / scratch DJs who need to instinctively use mixers without a learning curve or complications. But those very same people also want to be able to differentiate themselves from the pack, so it has a HUGE array of extras that can be mastered, manipulated and dipped into as and when the DJ requires. This is a specialised mixer for a specialised use case - it is not meant for general DJing.
