tlg, i was thinking 'heavy, forceful, funky' for the first half. i like your vocals and the amount of them, nice positive touches but always on the right side of realness imo. the only hiccup i thought was the gerry read track, no strong reason, just mixing in and out of the lo-fi-ness which ymmv. durr's 'ruthless' is totally otm.

does anyone know how to use echo properly on DJM700 (for build up before a drop)? I played with the settings (the ms and the beat thingies) but it all sounded like crap. everything clangs uncontrollably. also, how to do the freeze (trailing) with echo? you know, the one that makes a song goes like "i wanna dance with you-u-u-u-u-u"? thanks in advance.
― dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Friday, 13 December 2013 13:09 (ten years ago) link
i use that freeze effect a lot, but in traktor there's a freeze button on the delay unit.
― the late great, Friday, 13 December 2013 15:24 (ten years ago) link
yeah, I used the freeze button on my traktor controller, but on CDJ-mixer setup I do that by turning on the effect and then hitting pause. not very practical but I'm sure there's another way.
― dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Friday, 13 December 2013 17:14 (ten years ago) link
that's the real way to do it...not just pause but cut it out w the faders or switch the input to line from phono or whatever.

ah, I see. still can't figure out how to do stutter/echo properly though. with traktor I just turn the knob up and it sounds good. with djm everything clangs. do you have any recommended settings, dan? I mean the ms and beat thingies.
― dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Saturday, 14 December 2013 05:00 (ten years ago) link
I'm just some Allen and Heath rube whose never used a DJM, but as a wild guess (since I was thinking this the last time I watched someone DJ): Is there a tempo-tap button or something (like on that big flashing orange button) or a way to adjust the filter to the BPM? If it's clanging it's because the timing's off; there should be some way to register tempo.
― Fiddler on a hot tin roof (ed.b), Saturday, 14 December 2013 05:18 (ten years ago) link
yes, I can choose the beat for the effect, like 1/2, 1/4, etc.
― dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Saturday, 14 December 2013 05:21 (ten years ago) link
but I have no idea which one should I choose and what's the best timing (it ranges from 0 to x000 ms).
― dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Saturday, 14 December 2013 05:22 (ten years ago) link
but choosing from those times doesn't imply being in sync with the music. As mentioned above, there should be a tap temp. So long as it's in sync it'll sound "right", then the timing is just a question of the effect you're going for.
― dan selzer, Saturday, 14 December 2013 08:51 (ten years ago) link
Aha, it worked. Apparently I just need to choose the beat and don't tinker with the timing.
One more question about cdj: do you really need to nudge the wheel further away when beatmatching compared to controller? Or at least compared to traktor s2 which is the only controller I've tried.
― dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Saturday, 14 December 2013 15:22 (ten years ago) link
You don't have to do that with traktor s2?
― dan selzer, Saturday, 14 December 2013 19:52 (ten years ago) link
for example, when mixing with traktor I need to nudge the jog about 2-hour (imagine the wheel as a clock). but with cdj, with the same "distance" between the same pair of songs, I need to nudge it 6-hour.
on another note, about the freeze effect, I failed to make the song trails. it just goes like "it's not over-er-er-er" whereas in traktor I can make it "er-er-er-infinity". any idea how to do that with a pioneer mixer?
sorry for ruining the thread btw, but this kind of thing is allowed on ILX right right?
― dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Sunday, 15 December 2013 00:12 (ten years ago) link
just to be clear: "it's not over-er-er-er.. (the song stops)"
― dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Sunday, 15 December 2013 00:13 (ten years ago) link
I don't know the specifics of the effects on the pioneer. I never use effects. Having it freeze into infinity is not something delay can or would do, so if the Pioneer doesn't have such an effect, it doesn't have that effect and that's the end of that!
Likewise, "nudge" amounts are totally dependent on the whim of the manufacturer. Maybe it's adjustable on Traktor. In my experience it's not adjustable on the CDJ, though I haven't used the new generation much. Like anything I imagine it'd different on each unit and you just have to get used to it. My guess is if it takes longer to nudge it, then the Pioneer is giving you a higher quality/more sensitive incremental approach, and one that's the industry standard.
― dan selzer, Sunday, 15 December 2013 05:57 (ten years ago) link
Yeah, just need some time to get used to I guess. :)
