The Allen & Heath blender was about the size of my living room floor Best in the business id say that mixer - its the most popular too i think out and about in clubs ! *waits for Allie to talk about the DJM600*
not sure where its originally from, was a link on another message board the clips is from a swedish club night called mondaybar www.mondaybar.co.uk
must have an itchy CD, so he scratches it sasha and the boy wonder about 8 decks 2 mixers and an efx processor bet you that was entertaining
fuck - after watching that i started checking out the prices of those cd decks Just got rid of my old decks and mixer aswell - lol.
I've heard it's outstanding TELFY (I hope you read this you twat :evil: ) still owes me a copy, so I aint heard it yet, but it's sposed to be great
yeah he explains how he does here : 0. Intro This is me talking into my DJM600 over some weird sounds I'd prepared earlier (Blue Peter Style). I used the Echo and Hot Cues on the CDJ1000 to play in the different notes teasing in the melody of Edward Sheamur before letting it go into it's full glory and upping eq's and downing the effects. 1. Edward Sheamur 'Taxi Ride' (Universal) To mix Sunday Brunch into this without first making a break loop to put over 'Taxi Ride' I would've not been able to mix this the way I did as the two records are totally out of key. So I mixed the Break loop (Which I made in Reson 2.5) over whilst killing the bottom frequency on 'Taxi Ride' then I applied the echo on the 1/2 setting eased it on to create a build up then slammed in the Sunday Brunch volume as the drums commence whilst instantly turning the echo timing back to 1, it's lowest setting which creates a phasing sound over the break loop. I adjust the timing throughout the mix to give different effects and occasionally using the beat/bar buttons create builds. All the time I'm fading out 'Taxi Ride' until it can be no longer heard. I hit pause on the break loop with echo on a 1/1 setting as 'My World' comes into it's first break down for a smooth transference. 2. Sunday Brunch 'My World' (Nightdrive Mix) (Svek) This record isn't played on its own very much but the mix out stays quite subtle as it's only the mid range from the next track until the previous track breaks at the end and the other EQs are mixed in whilst the previous track is echoed out. This mix is totally out of key and becomes discordant but sounds quite mad. This mix would not have been possible without the effects. Thank you Pioneer! 3. Earth Deuley 'Spacial Gathering' (Unsigned CDR) Subtle distortion effect acheived by having the panning effect on its lowest possible setting, it creeps in as a fill a couple of times. 4. Natural Rhythm 'Your World' (Dufflebag) Mixed in as always with EQs. First mid then top and finally bottom as the previous track mixes out with the echo applied on a 1/1 setting as to overlay itself in a 4/4 time signature. I also use the echo effect as a fill throughout 'Your World' which creates a sweeping sound. Basically using the effect on an extremely low setting so the track is almost playing over itself to create the sweeping sound. I always take out some of the bottom end on these fills to keep the sound at the same level. On some of the fills I adjust the timing manually and slightly to get modulating sound. Also, I use the delays and the bass EQ alternately on the beats and hats to get mad fills that sound like drum edits (think double speed). This only really works when there isn't a bass line present or when the bass line is played in a very low key like on this record. A mix out again with EQs and echoes but changing the bar pace of the echoes to make drum rolls so I can introduce the next track. 5. Q6 'Out In The Shed' (Hallucination Ltd) Using the CDJ1000 hot cues combined with the reverse feature and some of the phasing/ fill effects (as described before) on the DJM600, I hopped all around this tune quite randomly. It sounds a bit bananas and you may as well forget about the time signature! At the second breakdown I use the reverse toggles rapidly over a warble sound (you'll hear it!). Again I use the delays and the bass EQ alternately on the beats and hats to get mad fills that sound like drum edits, quite noticeable this time round. Sean Q6 is gonna kill me & so will Pioneer for breaking their CD player. Live remixing anyone? I did feel this complimented the mood of the track which is off the rails! 6. lanoiraude 'j.j scenario' (Missive) After the mix echoes out, I mix back in the previous track in reverse (!) as additional percussion which ends at the breakdown. The mix out of this track is an echo combined with a deck stop so the slur sound you get when you stop a Technics carries on into the new track. 7. Animated 'Come On' (Deviant) Now this is my favourite bit!!! Scratching with a CD!!! Okay, first off I make a loop out of a continuous sound (the classic scratch 'aaar!') It doesn't have to loop in time with the track as it's a continuous sound therefore not really having a start or an end. Then I set the effect timing to the track playing, switch it to the channel with the CD loop playing and hit the transform effect on its lowest preset. Taa daa! By scratching the CD back and forth I too can sound like a DMC champion. Alright! All the mucking around has left me no time to mix out so I used the sampler to loop the current track to give time for a nice long mix. 8. Jigga-What 'Sleeping In' Over the break-beat in this tracks I try some real scratching whilst applying the echo effect to scratching so it blends into the track in time looping and fading out. Just-Feel-It (Repeat to Fade). 9. Echomen 'Thru 2 You' (Bushwacka! Remix) (Hooj) Actually a pretty normal mix. I could've done this on any mixer but wait...there's echo & EQ-ing stuff going on yet again but in a very Subtle way. During this track I use the Panning on it's lower setting slowly adjusting the timing to create distortion. 10. Maffia Soundsystem 'Fact Da Floor' (Moving Target Records) Here I use the transform to distort parts of the track by having it on low, low settings and adjust the timing manually. Subtle but sounds like it's meant to be there as there's already a similar effect throughout some the sounds. 11. Timmy S '..he's in the bar' (Surreal) Usual EQs and effects to acheive this mix. You've heard it all before already. 12. ODD 'Don't Look at Me' (Paul Rogers Dub) (Sumsonic) Here I sneak in parts of 'Space Manoeuvres' echoing in and out. Echoes out of time into the main breakdown. Sounds sweeeeet. I think. You tell me. I use a trusty old skool deck stop with an echo on to act as a sound effect to lead into the next track....listen out for it. 13. Bermuda Triangle - Tai Do 22 (CDR) I practically rearrange this track live using hotcues, echo and the revers toggle and I made my own extended breakdown using my infamous reverse toggle wiggle. Arcade game stylee. A warning, doing this is likely to break the CD player after a while! So, don't try this at home kids unless you can afford another one...
