Been DJing with IPad/Traktor Z1 since 2015, for me the main advantage of the combo is the data output after every session, you get the tracklist rightafter, the library becomes intuitive so it suggests tracks that ive used. this could be a timesaver.
been able to "touch" the waveforms in big IPad screen unleashed a whole new creative side of mixing for me
I absolutely love that you're the one DJ that isn't affraid to try new things and take it to the big stage. Big respect!
Very nice! I would switch to my phone in a heartbeat, but as a wedding DJ it's much easier for me to use laptop due to huge library, tons of crates and also it's easier to type in search via laptop. When you DJ for 8-10 hours, you need bigger screen as well. So I guess it all comes down to what type of a DJ you are.
Great points for sure! That's a very different situation than mine. I have a huge respect for you guys.
@@laidbackluke thank you, sir! Keep up the good work! 🙏👌💪
Yup, this is awesome, full support behind this. I'm all aboard on this and can't wait to see the future of the " Dj rig "
I started djing on pioneer cdj 200. I bought back in that time a Stanton turntable as well to experiment and although I really enjoyed it I did understand that the time of turntables was over. After that I switched to laptop then to usbs on rekordbox and today I sold my MacBook and bought an iPad.
My point is that the new generation of djs cannot be ignored as the “cdj” generation could not be ignored and then the "laptop" generation could not be ignored.
I cannot recall how much money i have spent through the years for dj gear. Now my mindset is that i only spend on good headphones and a good portable controller that will connect to a device i already own.
keep up the good work.
I know you receive hate from some people but keep in mind it's hate from people who will most likely be using your gear in a few years.
Very well explained & great point that the dj software can always be quickly updated.👍
MY THOUGHTS:
I think the gimmicky spinning wheels (on all dj softwares) just take up too much screen, instead shrink them (but not the BPM, Loop or FXs) and move up the "prepare section" (rectangular box) right under the vertical Waveforms, so that the dj focuses on the next best song.
👆This would keep the dj engaged on what is the best song to mix next, have the need to play song ready for that event and have a visable emergency crowd saving song(s) ready to play on the fly,
extremely important for pro djs, IMO.
Keep up the future dj setup work. I think you are very close to cracking that code, L' s up!
Thank you Luke,🙏
-Mike Beats
nobody uses it anymore at least from what I see, but traktor had a mode that was only the browser and the waveforms, for playing with DVS it was the best with a 11" macbook air
Mike, that's a good point! And that's something I'll communicate with ALGORIDDIM after they launch the new version. Feel free to remind me in a few months if there's no movement!
Yap, thats me with Traktor and my 11´ macbook Air. just perfect!
Why not use one denon 6000 with internal ssd drive?
Since you request a mixer, for me makes more sense
Really interesting topic! I have the FLX10 and I just picked up the flx4 which I’ll be able to use my phone especially as a backup and who knows the future potential for dj-ing. Thanks for the video Luke!!!!
I love the portability. The size. Seems super easy to use. But why use the phone you use on the daily? Seems advisable to get a second phone, right? Like strictly for sets. Idk, personally, I'd not want to rely on the device that lives in my pocket everyday.
Great breakdown LL - feel the same about stems
I started using the original Traktor app on an iPad and a X1 mk2 and a Z1
Around 2014
It was for a regular but smaller Bar/club gig
I even did a NYE gig on that set up
The only issue I had back then was the IPad crashing or stuttering if I DJed more than a 3 hour set
But that was 10 years ago.
The power of phones and laptops are on another level
Since watching these vlogs on your Mixxon
I have dug out the Z1 and X1 for my radio show
Still using a laptop but it’s ultra portable
Traktor is solid for sure! And indeed, it's safe to say the phone/tablet/computer gear has evolved way more and will continue to evolve much faster than the "Flagship" setup type of DJ gear.
truly inspiring!
Thanks for the great stuff and your honest videos. It would be so interesting if you could show us your file management when dealing with local files and DJ Pro
Cool stuff, I’m all about it if it works for you. Quick note for the software squad, 1,000+ hours of performing on MacBook pros and USBs, RekordBox and Serato, since 2008, never, ever had a problem. Totally cool if you perform your best on this setup, but laptops are rock solid and more flexible than anything else, esp when you start using ableton, osc, touchosc, etc…
I've been exploring mobile "setups" since the Behringer BCD2000 came out. I was using it with a Serato box and Bome's midi controller to convert midi to keystrokes to control Serato. Since then I've had soooo many mobile setups including the Reloop Mixtour which I still have and love. One thing the software DJ manufacturer's haven't really cracked is being able to share with friends. It's the main reason why after all these years I actually started using USB's with reckordbox and an XDJRX3 - so I can get together with my mates and we can all jump on and have a mix at any time. For non pro DJ's, DJ'ing is often a shared experience with friends and the ease with which you can do that is completely unmatched with a traditional CDJ/XDJ USB stick setup. If I was a product lead at Reloop, I would be working on a improved ways for users to have shared experiences like you can with a USB stick setup and ways to integrate home/mobile setups into traditional club setups. eg: Multi deck-only controller with multiple audio outs that can be routed to club mixer or connected to a midi counterpart as a modular setup. Traktor's KX1 was a great controller but it needs mobile software and an audio interface to connect to club mixers. Meanwhile Pioneer continues to make cheaper controllers that emulate CDJ's which are now 30years old. Thanks for sharing Luke. It's refreshing to hear your views.
Man this comment is GOLDEN! I hope Reloop and ALGORIDDIM will catch this. And whoa, CDJ's are 30 years old now?! Super reality check for me right now. Thank you!
One of my favorite things about djay sw (that I gave a more serious look at since your videos on it) besides the really great autogridding (which always seems to be on point even with variable bpm’s on older tracks) is the loops and sequenced sample playback. Combine that with stems and it’s like having a simple version of Ableton in your DJ software. I really like that - it’s super flexible and fun. No other DJ software has that inside its offerings AND you can midi map it to a small Akai grid controller and you are good to go. Pretty amazing stuff.
I’m super interested in whatever new version of Djay is coming out in a few days. Maybe improved stem separation quality?
Bought the Mixon8 as well. I guess I’m all in. 😂 thanks Luke - you *are* an influencer now. lol. 🙏🏻
Rob, I'm so happy to read this! Yeah it's pretty incredible and I absolutely love the Mixon8. Dec 6th is the DJay update, I can't wait for you to see it!
That phone feature if you gotta to the bathroom! 💪🏽😁🤯
You could use a magnet charge stand to charge your phone while usb is plugged into a controller. Works great.
This is amazing and in a lot of depth.
I've been traveling and touring with the Denon Prime Go and a 512gb SD card. Everything on the Go is perfect for me. Plus I don't need the big jogwheels on the CDJs or SC6000s.
I have great memories from the Prime Go, good times! Thanks for sharing that.
Next video: #319 Djing with just my thoughts
This is such an awesome insight Luke, what features do you feel like you’re missing in your current set up or add-ons that you’d like to see implemented in the future? 👏🏼
I'm in constant touch with ALGORIDDIM and always firing suggestions their way. For instance, we got the custom colored Hot Cue points thanks to me ha ha. In V5 there will be more things I suggested. The Mixtour on the other hand, I have a bunch to say about that actually and that will be my next video. I appreciate you watching and commenting!
I do this same thing with my DDJ200 and the WeDJ app on my phone
Luke, thank you for your thoughts and explainations!
i am a vinyl\cd dj. but discovered Djay Pro recently and its amazing.
question: how do you get power to your phone on all your setups - dont you need an apple kamera adaptor with lighting charger pluged in all the time. i know mixtour has power adapator. but what about other setups?
That's pretty dope, dude.
nice topic luke..by the way nice varsity jacket..
Question, how neural mix work on the reloop rmx-95 and how are you using it … thanks
Very inspiring ! respect ! please make a review how you looking for tracks (etc in car) and adding into list. It’s very confusing how to save and synchronise track(files) as manageable as simple as can , in your phone. I lost myself with 50 first tracks :D You The One real life pioneer here ! Don’t hold back !
I absolutely love your attitude about moving forward- staying true your craft and your love for Djing and creativity. Much respect you are most definitely an inspiration.
Great video as always. Is that the Reloop rmx 90 dvs? You had the elite on your inboxing dream swtup video. Did you switch the mixer and if so how do you find the rmx 90? Cheers
I'm still thinking about djay pro needs to work with old 2000nxs to the new ones, currently only on mac
Stems restrictions are key for an iPhone set up. I don’t understand the reason for their restrictions? Right now it’s Tidal whom I am referring too. I sincerely hope stems are allowed in streaming subscriptions. If not, then a hard drive to house your library for the phone to use will have to be the option or back to the laptop it is.
I wonder how to connect "Reloop Mixtour" to a festival sound system, which sometimes exceeds 24kW+? is there a dedicated usb port?
just get rid of the reloop thingy and start to use only your phone at this point😂
Hi good morning Luke ,what minimum of requirements specification do dj on phone ?
This is cool, totally the future
My fear with DJ'ing songs on streaming services is the WIFI. Half of the time, the reception is spotty, whereas the venue's WIFI or your hotspot. That is why I could rely on my library on my laptop. I think if you have a specific set for an hour or two and no requests, you can get away with whatever music you have on your phone. In that case, you mind as well just DJ on USB sticks. I work at dive in bars, restaurants in hotels etc where I constantly have to read the room and have a very wide range in my library which I doubt a phone can hold.
Idk i wouldn’t say you’re limited with club standard epquipment. I personally started using the 3000’s with serato, woth stem support and everything and works flawless. Plus i got the added haptics of and comfortable size of a i industry standard gear
great video
It's interesting to see well thought out processes in using set ups. I've switched to Serato somewhere in 2009 which was late because the first final scratch options were available in 1999 or so.... To me it really felt like homecoming. Just use the laptop. set up your crates and life is good. I also like the fact you have so much options in using hardware. When bringing along a dj-sp1 or similar controller you can use stems properly with any flagship set up (uuuuh true story. couldn't use the 3000's upon release lol which got me stuck In a let's synch and hot cue set right there). I still love scratching in my sets way to much to give up on it. Am currently really cool with the rev5 because it allows you to not even use stems properly but you're also able to program your own transition records choosing which stems you want to use or create a transition loop.
Unfortunately the mix tour doesn't have those options but I like the idea of a portable mixer. I also liked the akai max series with dvs option. Small gear is fun to work with and forces you to be creative which is a fun proces.
Anyway keep using your set up because I like the insight of it. I'll translate that spirit into my own set ups...
Love this comment, thank you so much for sharing that sir! Wow, Final Scratch! Haven't heard that in a while! That Serato Box back in the day was a thing too ha ha. Thank you for watching!
Question what if you phone screen crack and you can't see anything on your phone do you carry a backup phone ,all electronics crashes or goes bad at some point.
I recall the first time I noticed dj pro ai pop up on my watch it was a moment of wow, it was so cool
I’d probably jump on the phone platform sooner but storage for videos, and better algorithms for stems on VDJ are only on laptops right now.
Dude you can screatch on an samsung Gear s2 neo watch smart watch while its bluethoot conected to your samsung phone. ive try that couple years ago.
REAL QUESTION. As somebody who jumps platforms a lot, how do you manage cue points from platform to platform?
It's not a lot ha ha, but I guess it's more than your average DJ. From Pioneer to Denon it was relatively easy, they had the software for that to just get those over. On DJay, I had to start from scratch. But, programming cue points on the app is super fast and you can do that anywhere since it's on the phone. And just to make sure you get it, with the various setups and the phone being the brain of it, it's just all there : )
The only issue I have with reloop is the connector is too short and you can’t buy purchase it anywhere not even @reloop
Off the topic question with your martial arts? You do primarily stand up or you do any ground work also?
This makes a lot more sense now that I know you're using streaming services to build your library
Hello… if you get Tidal premium Hi Fi… do the STEMS work?
Stems USED TO work in with Djay pro AI and Tidal... until a week ago, when licensing issues forced Tidal & Algoriddim to disable stems for streaming
Impatient de faire des mashups de qualité en live avec des stems HQ
J'attends ça comme un cadeau sous le sapin🎅🎁🎄
Does it work with iphone 15?
11:20 Suno/Udio Ai integration with stems. I’m sure ElevenLabs too.
Emergency Broadcast System Alerts must sound amazing on a festival system (you can' t disable them on US phones)
I also using Mixtour but with notebook and Traktor. I thinking to switch to phone, but i don't have iPhone, and the Android version from the Algoriddim Djay is a bad joke. What type of iPhone do you use for mixing? What type is enough? How much cost the Algoriddim Djay Pro for iPhone? I can't find the prices, because they using in app purchase.
You should be able to run CDJS through a Reloop Flux using Serato Control CDS or Serato Control Tone Wav files.
The future of DJing is not so much the phone but any interface that can be valid for DJing. Whether it's a hologram, some drones projecting an interface into the air, or you making some hand gestures while the DJ interface shows on the inside of your lenses: all that stuff is already technically possible and some of it will take off at some point. Heck, DJing might even become a psychic experience further down the line.
As a futurist myself, I can really appreciate this comment!
I understand why you have chosen the setup, and even I would consider using it, but there is something that does not convince me, the mixer. I understand that you need a device to control the songs on your phone, but I prefer the mixer to be a standard one, for the feeling, and because it has more than two channels (it doesn't have to be the Pioneer one, it can be a Xone, Model1 or whatever).
I would love for mixers to allow you to connect a device like the Xone K2 via USB and that's it, 4 tracks, a very powerful mixer, and the portability of using a mobile phone or iPad. I am also not seeing brands that are betting on devices like the aforementioned Xone K2 (and it is more than 10 years old), the most similar is the Traktor X1, but it does not have a sound card and on top of that it only works for traktor.
I think there are many people with a similar thought, it makes no sense to spend so much money on a flagship setup. Those who carry a laptop have it solved, but not on mobile phones/ipad. Hopefully in a few years the whole panorama will change.
Xone mixers have X-Link so a K2 can plug directly into the mixer as a plug and play device
An iphone 15 is far superior than alot of laptops out there . The A17 pro chip is the base structure of the M3 chip. Even the A12X from the ipad pro gen 3 is from 2019 far superior than 80% of laptops today. The ipad and iphone will clearly be well optimized in the next few years . Sad to say that . Any midi controller pretty much would be flagship at that point for a cheap price. Even the manufacturer are noticing hence moving to mobile devices .
That's what I'm saying, it's a system that I really like because it means connecting a cable and that's it, that's why I would like more mixers to have similar systems and also release more K2-type devices, but also thinking about mobiles/tablets.
@@schism480
THE NEW IPAD PRO M2 PROCESSOR IS A GAME CHANGER ESPECIALLY W 2TB STORAGE BECAUSE THE RAM IS ALSO INCREASED. DJ PRO WAS ACTUALLY DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR THE I PAD.
I love the set up for playing 1-2 hours of Electronic music only.
Curious with this setup. Is all the music you DJ with on your phone currently, and when you get tracks from other producers (IDs, not released) are they added to your phone? The reason I ask is, on my laptop I have so many songs and use stems/fx all the time that it stresses my laptops RAM, CPU, or both that it ruins all my mixes. Am also in the DDJ-SZ so very old controller ha
Half my music is on my iCloud, so when I get tracks from other producers, I just drag it into a folder on iCloud which I then can access on my phone. The other half of my set I stream off of Tidal, but will now be Beat Source and Beatport because of Tidal's stem limiting. I run this on an iPhone 14 Pro Max and it has no problem with the heavy lifting : )
Is you phone usb c or apple lightning
Is there any sacrafice, or sound quality loss wiith a phone compared to a laptop. Or on an all-in-one controller. Or is the difference so small it don't matter?
the sound quality comes 100% from the Mixtour controller itself (like 99% of DJ controllers it has a built-in sound card). Whether it's plugged into a phone, a tablet, a windows laptop etc. it will always sound the same. Mojaxx reviewed the Mixtour seven years ago. "RCA output is nice & loud. You'd be hard-pressed to tell any difference between that and playing off the CDJs " ruclips.net/video/2BCzwXo7aQo/видео.html
Idk i need three turntables and xone 92
This video feels like a reloop ad tbh.
Part of the attraction for me when going to watch a Dj is to admire their skill.
The more automation that is used detracts from that to the point where everything is so clinical and boring.
I’m here to rock the party!!!

Dj setup crisis = an excuse to show you more of my sponsor’s gear
In the end, where is the answer from the title to djing with your smartwatch?
It is true that software is amazing, but it also needs to come with some reliability concern - when your iPhone updates itself and Apple pushes a new iOS version to your phone, are you still 100% sure it works with all your gear? If you are on the road and a software update happens that breaks something in your DJ setup, what do you do? Most software companies are not used to building and testing mission critical applications and fully testing their code updates, they do the best they can in-house, and then they often use the public as "beta testers" for new updates they push, and fix bugs as the public bug reports come in. That type of ecosystem might work ok for personal laptops & desktops, but for mission critical applications like touring DJ/musician live setups and Tesla cars, it is much more risky and problematic for software updates to break something, so a different mindset is required. Also, how is your public experience with streaming music for your shows? Can you get a strong cell or WiFi signal everywhere you go to guarantee you will have the streamed tracks you want when it comes time to perform? How do you test and deal with errors in the beatgrids for all tracks you stream, or do you just wing it and adjust as best you can?
I think these features are a great addition incase something goes wrong, they are a great back up! Nothing wrong with having a back up. 🤷🏾♂️ if anything that’s more professional! I had CDJs already broken before I get to the club. CDJs are not the best. There are other better stuff out there tbh🤷🏾♂️
So far the only issue with those mobile setups - sometimes its crashing, in this case software update is important, however most of the time it works just fine with no problems, streaming music is not reliable and neuromix doesn’t work, all tracks definitely should be downloaded and processed with software like mixed in key…
As Denon heavily relies on software, your comment encapsulates my experience. While it's true that, for example, Denon boasts numerous features, the crucial factor is their reliability. They need to function consistently, not just for brief periods but for extended durations, perhaps up to twelve hours in my case. As a DJ with frequent bookings, I often play open format sets for at least six hours, sometimes even twelve. The appeal of Denon was particularly strong due to its excellent streaming capabilities, which aligned with my preferences. However, I encountered recurring issues such as bugs causing system crashes and occasional glitches that required restarting at least once per event. This proved to be a dealbreaker for me, leading me to switch back to the flagship Pioneer system. Since making the switch, I have experienced no problems. When dealing with the potential for laptop crashes, I mitigate the risk by using standalone systems and preparing at home. While no setup is entirely foolproof, I find that Pioneer's flagship systems outperform Denon in terms of stability and reliability, despite Denon's extensive array of features.
@@user-Chikotillo I used Rekordbox to import my music to the CDJs at the club and it didn’t work. Got errors so nothing is perfect! Use everything and learn everything!!
@@DJFlorilu I agree stability and basic functions are necessary but we need new features or DJing culture simply won’t progress🤷🏾♂️
Curious to see if you seen one of Deadmaus's posts on Instagram regarding getting rid of the jog wheel?
What should happen in my opinion with the "All in Ones" like Denon Primes and XDJ's ect is having the screens just be Tablets that you can attach separately so as Chips get more powerful and software develops to take advantage you can just slot in a more powerful Tablet to the Unit ect. Even the future Flagship stuff should do this imho like the next iteration of the 3000's.
This would be incredible tbh!
luke always pushing the boundaries of djing - big props. gotta love the flexibility of it all.
I really appreciate this, thank you so much!
@@laidbacklukeyou’re welcome, just keeping it real. can’t wait to see the day when you are djing live only on your smartwatch lol.
@@laidbackluke hi, it would be great if Djay was able to improve their looper section to allow us to add our own loops or sounds, like loopy pro. This will allow me to get rid of Traktor and move completely to Djay! I like laying songs and sounds in techno, making it my own and taking my audience on a journey… opening up the looper will be a game changer! Imagine dropping the drums on a track, then looking in my own sample drums, continuing this in the next track etc…. Can you please convince them to work on that?
@laidbackluke What DJ mixer do you request in your Technical Rider? I have downloaded the software you recommend
My concern is the longevity of the reloop controller. With club systems you dont have to invest any money to play. WIth this setup you have to buy the 300$ controller plus put wear and tear on your personal phone. Both dont last forever and will need to be replaced. Pioneer needs to hurry up and add stems so flash drives can be just as useful.
This is ridiculous - a 300 controller compared to other controllers is not a crazy price in the long run. ‘Wear and Tear’ on your phone? Your not abusing the hell out of it
@@alexducharme7236 you dont tour with your controller.
Why not use the Reloop Buddy and still have jog wheels?
For house & techno jog wheels aren't that needed. Especially if your tracks are pre beat gridded perfectly.
And changing decks at a festival or house equipment would be frowned upon.
@@HVYCHKNRADIO You wouldn't have to change decks. It would connect to the mixer with RCA just like the mixtour.
He will eventually DJ using a AR headset, as a Vtuber with AI. I'm calling it now.
I agree that club standard gear is limiting. Lack of stems, key shifting etc. The only “superior” part in the entire club standard pioneer kit imo is the effects part of the mixer and maybe the master EQ. It’s funny cause I have 2 different pioneer setups in my Amazon cart that I never pull the trigger on mainly because the lack of key shift. But now that I’ve been using stems, it’s even harder to justify. I think the reason I’d do it at this point is to practice using them if I was getting gigs in clubs that had their own setups. But yeah it would be like getting out of my 2023 Bentley and having to drive 1958 Ford Edsel.
I'm glad you can reflect on this like I do. And sheesh, the Pioneer gear is SO expensive!
I personally can't wait until we have djing like the intro from the old Harmonix ps2 game Frequency
Why apple? I have both systems apple and windows, but i had more problems with apple than windows
I like how you are ahead of the wave and using AI to your advantage. As a photographer, whenever I mentioned AI to my audience , it is met with criticism. I'm one to embrace technology so this is pretty cool what you're doing! What happens if you get a phone call during your set?
I'm happy you understand. AI is going to develop exponentially from this year on. Safe to say my Do Not Disturb is like a vault. Nothing gets through when I'm on stage! (Hopefully not even Amber Alerts lol)
@@laidbackluke yes this is the next evolution! I use to dj small clubs and I was using a traktor kontroller and the guys who used Cdjs hated me 😅😂 thanks for responding. 🤘
@@laidbackluke For sure AI is changing the landscape, case in point - the Crossfader FX in Djay Pro, watch the two EQ knobs adjust automatically during the Automix. As a newbie to the DJ world, I wonder if the solution is to be able to program each DJ's unique "mixing style" per song, genre, crate, etc. as a pull down option. If this is the way forward, do I need EQ knobs at all? The plethora of FX mix choices will only grow and maybe my value add is purely on the curation side - which is also being influenced by AI....hmm - what's a new DJ to do....what HW should I purchase....right now is DJAY pro on my iPAD and iPhone.
Regardless, the iPhone screen is a bit to small for me although the iPAD mini at 8.3" ($399 at Staples - Gen 6 / A12 Bionic) seems perfect especially since it support DJAY single deck mode for cue point prep. The iPhone does not support single deck mode which is strange but nothing is perfect.
Lastly, the jog wheels...where do you see this headed, is the screen a reasonable choice or are their evolutions here that we could expect to see?
how about DJing with ONLY A PHONE? Ever tried it?
Yes, the screen is too small! An I pad- not so small and thats what all the new AIO systems are implementing "the touch screen"
Its actually preference. I like to experiment but my preference is a format that will not get me gigs. And I dont mind that.
What needs to be addressed is the sheer misuse of power by the the currently dominating brand. There is evidence that around the years 2000-2005 certain mixers had inferior phono preamps to push things in a certain way. (Not naming brands, but I think you already know what brand this is)
Sorry man, I just dont feel this. I prefer to keep computers and softwares at the studio
Phone from now are as powerfull as old standard computer from 5 year ago, so basically no difference, except a smaller screen (and so less chance to get stuck in the "Serato face" while mixing). But with that setup, don't you miss the jogwheel/platter ? not that it's a problem for mixing, but I know people, myself include, like the sensation of moving physically something, and also having the possibility to scratch (even though it's not a necessity, more a "guilty pleasure" thing)
For the future, I see perfectly phone replace laptop, and smartwatch doing the same (when streaming track will become a standard thing), but on the hardware side, I hope company will evolve into more modular thing, like a box where you can easily make your system evolve (kind of like a computer) so you can add more power, change the screen, choose the kind of platter, so you don't have to change everything when you want to stay up to date with new technology.
I keep waiting to hear “what about 4 decks”
There is a 4 DECK MODE
Man, I just got a Denon prime 4+, now I have to buy all kinds of Reloop gear .... oh well, here we go ....
@laidbackluke I would love to air one of your mixes on our station Mix93FM. Who do I talk to make a proper request brother?
Traktor has Stems... wait... right, they pioneered the stem tech. Everyone else has been playing catch-up for the past decade.
You should vlog about catering and technical riders
Never understood the hate you are getting for using a Mixtour. I actually like seeing people try new equipment out. I wouldn’t use a phone (just because the viewing experience is smaller for me) but I would love to connect something like a Mixtour/Traktor X1 and djing off of that
damn i wish i could use my phone for djing but i use android and Djay pro ai is not available for android. yes there is the free version but i cant plugin my dj controller or other hardware
And doesn't have even half of the features of ios. The program was actually designed for the Ipad initially.
I still want to see a Phase added to the turntable setup
Argh yes me too! I need to follow up on that. Actual needles are so tricky!
There is very simple answare why the old pioneer dj stuff not work white IOS device. The hardware has no class combline soundcard. Compare to the same device where additonal drivers get installed.
The equipment keeps getting smaller and smaller at some point Luke will just be replaced with AI. 😉 #OnTheRoadToRetirement
Ha ha well over the last couple of days I've been reading up on AI influencers and what not. Not sure only Luke will be replaced but Damian too! 😅
@@laidbackluke I sure hope Laidback does not get replaced. Thank you so much for the comment! You made my year! 🙏🫶
Luke, great video, but have a few questions for you. Don't you miss scratching? I've seen you live do this cool transitions and tricks that only a platter can provide. And second question, what are your thoughts on the pricing, as rekordbox and other software comes with the gear and no need to pay more, (unless you want to), while in contrast using some of the features you like fro Algoriddim does actually incur a monthly or yearly fee, which to most hobbyist is not that accessible. Would like to know your thoughts, keep posting such videos! Tot ziens from Honduras!

You have paid for the gear right... So you did pay for the software as well, and quite some more money then many years of fees for Algoriddim? Or am I missing something here..
@@beatsandbuttons not in my case
My Ddj 400 costs less than the reloop
I’ve even found how people have integrated the use of stems in it
and what if you get a call while you're putting on music😃😃
DND
He puts his phone on airplane mode. So Cell and WiFi are off.
Расскажи это всё Тиесто и пол окенфолду. Reloop 😂
This video almost seems to sound like a response to Steve Stone @TheDJLab
I'm still using a laptop for my sets. It's kinda annoying sometimes that you need to look to your software just to make sure you're on track. But it is what it is. I'm still using Virtual DJ on my sets. I love how they manage to do side by side when it comes to performance with other softwares like Serato and Rekordbox DJ. I wanted to switch software but i'm more comfortable using VDJ as my main software. It's still a preference for me tho.
lol, Thats cool. hey, why not?!?!
so bad that Tidal restricted all users from using STEMS in dj software.....so bad for them of course because we can adapt to that anytime by using different streaming platforms.....but if you ask me Tidal was the best one so far.....until now
Pls come to malaysia :(
Ha ha the end of the video was incredible but I have make the same question to other videos of you I will make it once more:how about the sound quality??
The "sound quality" comes from the DAC, which is built into Luke's Mixtour controller (like it is for 99% of controllers). Whether your DAC/controller is plugged into an Android phone, an iOS device, mac or Windows laptop, the sound quality is all about the controller's DAC
... I should clarify. Not "only" about the DAC. It's the entire audio signal chain. DAC -> pre-amp -> connectors -> audio cable etc. Still, this is all the responsibility of the controller, nothing to do with the computing device.
@@therumbler I understand,but I mean about the sound quality of the mixtour,is for example similar to a flagship system or similar to a cheap controller?
@@LiMar28 I have the Mixtour. It's not a toy. By forgoing features like jog wheels/displays Reloop has put $$$ into the audio chain. Is it as good as a $2000 Pioneer flagship? Nope. As good as a $800-$1000 controller? Not far off!
Mojaxx from @djcitytv reviewed the audio quality a number of years ago (1 min 50 seconds is where he discusses the RCA outputs) ruclips.net/video/2BCzwXo7aQo/видео.html
You should check New Virtual DJ I suggest
Their stems are best
I know you're not a laptop guy
But it's worth the experience
Salute to you
