      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.

    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

    @RaquelFoster 3 года назад +4

    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
      @digitaldjtips  3 года назад +4

      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

      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.

      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

    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 🤷🏽‍♂️

      All DJs have a little idiosyncrasy, with me it is twirling my headphones cable!

      He uses Shure 535s, and they are not wireless, they are wired.
