Vj remixvideo and traktor12/25/2023 The YouTube tutorial is really problematic because it's no good at all for scratching a song. And there are even some tutorials and small patches out there, but as I look at them, none of them are quite what I'm looking for. So I look around and find Pure Data and GEM.Īnd I see lots of questions about scratching, how to do it. So, how should I scratch? My controller came with DJ'ing software and there's also some freeware, like Mixxx, but none of this has video support. If I had Max/MSP/Jitter, I could have changed that, but that's also way expensive. But it turns out that you can hook up MIDI controllers to every control except the turntable, so that was a no go. Pinky since you can hook up MIDI controllers to it. They sold out before I could get one, but Vann's was selling it for $70, so I decided that that was good enough and bought one. Well, about a month ago, I saw the ION Discover DJ controller was on sale at Bed, Bath & Beyond for $50. Pinky system is probably a very good system with the right equipment, but I don't do this professionally, so I don't want to spend the loot on a system.Įarlier, before I bought Ms.Pinky (about two years ago), I had also looked around for a cheap MIDI USB DJ controller and not found one. After reading a little more, I came to the conclusion that my signal from vinyl to computer just wasn't strong enough, so I would need maybe a new needle or maybe a different turntable and I didn't really want to spend the money experimenting. The absolute mode I couldn't get to work at all. The relative mode worked well, but sometimes would skip if I scratched too vigorously. This worked decently, but I had a lot of trouble really getting it totally on point. And so I spend the $100 on the Ms.Pinky vinyl plus software license (now only $80). It was marketed as a DJ turntable, but I knew that it wasn't really serious since it had a belt drive, but it came with a slip-pad and the USB connection meant that I wouldn't need a preamp. But in looking around, I found the Ms.Pinky system and after a little bit, I found a USB turntable on Woot for $60. I am not a DJ by trade, so to get a system like Traktor or Serrato with their video modules plus turntables plus hardware plus a DJ mixer, soon everything gets really expensive. As I was researching, I found a number of different systems. However, I haven't wanted to spend the $2500 for a DVDJ. First my story: (you can skip down to END OF STORY if you want)Įver since I saw Mike Relm go to town with a DVDJ, I've wanted a system where I could scratch and cue video.
