Hotcues
Since everyone's been waiting ever so patiently for this release, we decided to slip a bonus in for you. Mixxx 1.8.0 Beta 2 adds hotcues, which are cue points that start playing when triggered. These are handy for impromptu drumming and remixing because you can trigger different parts of a song quickly. Although our default "Outline Netbook" skin doesn't yet show the hotcue positions on the main scrolling waveform display, the hotcues do show up in the smaller waveform summary.

The keyboard shortcuts for hotcues are Z, X, C, and V on Player 1, and M, <, >, and ? on Player 2. Now go chop some beats! (Update: Forgot to mention that using the Shift key in combination with the above keys clears the hot cues.)

Audio Playback Plugins
The new audio playback plugin framework lets you to install third-party plugins that give Mixxx the ability to playback extra audio formats. Sometimes support for an obscure audio format is difficult to maintain or may be legally encumbered in certain jurisdictions, either of which would preventing us from supporting it. However, third-party developers can now add support for extra audio formats to Mixxx at their own discretion.

The Mixxx Development Team will not distribute audio playback plugins that carry legal uncertainty for us. The responsibility is solely yours to ensure that you are legally entitled to obtain and use any playback plugins provided by a third-party.

Although we don't have any official audio playback plugins available yet, we'd like to invite developers to post their plugins on the Mixxx Add-ons wiki page.

The Road to 1.8.0
Over the next month or so, we'll be wrapping up development of 1.8.0. We've still got many bugs to fix (and could use your help), but we think this latest beta release is a big improvement over the previous one. Give it a shot, and please report any bugs you find! Enjoy, and stay tuned for more news as we finally approach Mixxx 1.8.0.

DJ Tricks - 3 Top DJ Tricks

DJ's that like to perform tricks are always on the look out for new tricks and techniques to
perform. If done correctly, DJ tricks can be look and sound very impressive indeed! In this
article we will talk about 3 DJ tricks you can learn and implement at your own will.

DJ trick 1 - How to play a record backwards.

This trick is more suited to a vestax PDX-A2. What you need to do is take an ashtray a little thicker than the cartridge on your turntable or deck and position it upside down & centered on the slipmat of the turntable. Take a piece of sticky gum and stick a record centered on top of the ashtray, what the gum does is it helps hold it in place. Flip the cartridge upside down and then screw it back onto the tonal arm. You need to also weight the tonal arm so that it has the tendency to spring upward instead of down. When you have that done, start the record and slide the tonal arm underneath the record as far as you can towards the ashtray and it will play your record backwards. Its a pretty cool trick when you get it working.

DJ trick 2 - Add your own drum record

The second trick you need to do is have a record playing on one deck and set the tonal arm on the beginning or the end of the record where no music is written. Then have the record
stopped and tap on the record with your finger. What happens is the vibration from your
tapping on the record will sound like a base beat. Just tap in beat with the other record to
fatten up the base or add your own percussive touch. Its tough to get it first off but with
practice you'll be good at it eventually!

DJ Trick 3 - Use two of the same records to achieve a reverb or delay effect.

This trick is pretty popular and I've seen lots of DJ's work this off to a "T". What you need
to do for this trick is take two records of the same song and get them in beat with each
other. You want to make sure that the songs are literally over laid exactly on top of each
other. So... assuming that you have that in order, take the base out of the record that you
are about to mix in and bring the track in. Once this is done, slowly blend the pitch very
delicately and you will start to hear a reverb effect! For the delay effect all you need to
do repeat the procedure except slip the record out of beat and then fade in and out for a
delay effect.

There you have it. 3 cool DJ tricks for you to get cracking on! You may not get these at
first, but practice makes perfect. Now go get em DJ!

Magma Digital DJ Switchbox .V2

The new MAGMA SWITCHBOX .V2
makes it easier than ever to transition between two digital DJ’s, without having to unplug the decks and mixer to connect a new soundcard. It provides a hustle-free DJ swap, enabling two DJ audio interfaces to be connected simultaneously to a mixer - even a two channel battle mixer.

The MAGMA SWITCHBOX .V2 features a three-way selector switch to assign the signal from each deck to either interface to switch between two digital DJ setups, or send it directly to the mixer (THRU).
In addition to switching between two soundcards, the MAGMA SWITCHBOX features connections for two turntables and two CD players. A Mode switch enables either system to be controlled via CD or vinyl.

Forget the days of unplugging one deck at a time when you finish your set, and reaching behind the mixer to fish for your cables. You can now patch into the system without getting in the way of the previous DJ finishing his set. When you are ready to play your first record, just select a deck from the MAGMA SWITCHBOX and you are good to go. When you are done with your set, you can unplug at anytime without interrupting the next DJ.

The MAGMA SWITCHBOX 2.0 is also great for Tag Team DJing and DJ crews. So if there are 2 DJs performing with each of their laptops (DJ A: Traktor Scratch and DJ B: Serato), the turntables (or CD-players) can easily be routed towards the desired audio source.

Features:
- Works with all DVS systems including Traktor Scratch and Serato Scratch Live
- Connect to and switch between two digital DJ-systems/ interfaces with a traditional DJ setup
- Switch between two interfaces without RCA re-patching for simple DJ transitions
- 3-way selector switch assigns the signal from the decks to Interface A, Interface B, or Thru to the mixer
- Both digital systems can be controlled with Timecode Vinyl as well as with Timecode CDs
- Passive : No power supply required
- Includes RCA cable-snake

ROLAND VP-7 VOCAL PROCESSOR NOW AVAILABLE

Roland is pleased to announce that the new VP-7 Vocal Processor (www.RolandUS.com/Products/VP-7) is now available in stores. This portable vocal processor sets up quickly on top of keyboards and creates ensemble vocal sounds with a variety of PCM-based vocal sounds, or with Roland’s superior Vocal Designer® technology.

For keyboardists who want lush vocal backing tracks without singing into a microphone, the compact VP-7 includes four rich and expressive human voice sounds — Female Choir, Boys Choir, Gregorian Choirs and Jazz Scat — just by playing the keyboard.

Utilizing Vocal Designer technology derived from Roland’s VP-Series vocal & ensemble keyboards, the VP-7 has three Vocal Designer algorithms that can automatically generate multi-voice backing harmonies that sing the same lyrics as a performer sings into the included DR-HS5 headset microphone.

Pressing the Vocoder button allows for quick access to a talkbox, vintage vocoder, or modern vocoder effect. Keyboardists can also go deeper into seven additional vocoder variations that have natural human voice sounds. This allows for the performance of independent harmony lines that complement the lead vocalist.

The VP-7’s super-simple interface features large, quick-access buttons and knobs, so it’s easy to call up preset sounds and adjust blends on the fly. Onboard ambience effects sweeten the sound with the twist of a knob, while a handy bypass switch lets the user bring the VP-7’s processing in and out with the push of a button, or with a tap of the optional DP-2 footswitch.

The VP-7 is now available with an MSRP of $639.00.

REVIEW: Livid Ohm64

In these day of mass produced plastic controllers, it's nice to see that at least one manufacturer remembers the good old days when DJ gear actually had wood on it (and real meters too). But enough showing my age - Livid is a company hand crafting beautiful controllers in the good ole US of A. No plastic boxes here - all machined from a variety of materials, and assembled with love. The Ohm64 is one such stunning controller, and resident button basher Chris Cartledge cast his experienced eye over this object d'art.

Not exactly being gifted in the ways of Ableton, there was little point in yours truly giving the Ohm64 a beating. I did the obligatory plugging and prepping for photography - firing up the Ohm64 editor, Ableton and Traktor for some very quick testing. I soon realised that unlike much of the sausage factory gear I get to play with, I actually connected with the Ohm64 almost on a personal level. Because of the unique character of the Ohm64, and the hand made nature, it really feels like my Ohm64. Make sense?

But if an off the shelf Ohm64 isn't enough for you, Livid will also make one of your own for you. Using this somewhat nifty designer, your Ohm64 can come in 9 different body colours, 4 different LED colours and 3 choices of faceplate. It does cost a bit more of course, and the chance for car crash colours scheme is high, but at least you get choice, and that's good I'm told.

If you're wanting something different, personal and highly customisable from your MIDI controlling experience, you really cannot get much better than Livid's Ohm64. Read Chris Cartledge's review and see if it measures up to your expectations.

How to Become a DJ

Music fans with a flair for entertainment may consider learning how to become a DJ. If you enjoy spinning records or playing CDs for your family and friends you may consider trying your hand at entertaining a live audience. If this interest you, you may consider pursuing a career as a professional DJ. However, there is more to it than just the music; you will need to multi-task, become a master at using the DJ equipment, and above all, learn how to keep your audience entertained. The information below will provide you with an introduction to the skills, equipment and techniques you will need to become a successful DJ.

If you love listening to music, keeping up with the latest music trends, and playing pre-recorded music before a live audience, becoming a professional DJ may be the perfect career for you. However, DJing involves much more than just simply playing records, CDs or MP3s for a group of people. You must learn how to effectively use DJ equipment and master the skill of seamlessly transitioning from one song to the next. Above all, you should be able to keep your crowd engaged, entertained, and most importantly, dancing.

Becoming a professional DJ can be a highly rewarding career for those who enjoy playing music for a live audience. As a DJ, part of your job will be following the latest music trends, constantly expanding your music collection and keeping up with the latest industry technology. There are always new skills and techniques to learn, practice and perfect, meaning that you will be constantly learning and developing.

Basic DJ Skills

First of all, to become a successful DJ, you must have a love for and interest in music.http://www.learn2dj.co.uk/start/¹ Starting out, you should enjoy listening to, learning more about, and constantly building your music collection. You will also need to keep up with the latest releases and music trends. In order to keep current, you may want to consider doing one or all of the following:

1. Find a local music shop with knowledgeable staff and visit regularly
2. Join online DJing and music forums
3. Keep up to date with new releases and trends by reading music publications, either online, or by buying magazine subscriptions
4. Seek out and befriend other DJs in your area; if you can, try to build a network of like-minded individuals with whom you can share ideas, tips and tricks of the trade

Visit local clubs and observe other DJs at work. Either through observation or conversation (although it's not a good idea to try to pick a DJ's brain during his set), figure out what he's doing and why. Observe how he mixes music and interacts with the crowd.Disc Jockey 101: Mixing Tips²

Having a DJ Personality

In addition to being a music lover, you must also have the right type of personality to become a successful DJ. This requires a unique balance of extroverted and introverted qualities. You must be outgoing to promote yourself and interact effectively with a wide group of people, but must also be able to withstand and enjoy the solitude of working alone for long hours in the DJ booth.DJ Advantage: What Does It Take to Become a DJ?³

You should also be able to efficiently perform several tasks at once. Without interrupting your set, you may need to speak with audience or club staff members who approach you to chat or make requests.

One of the key aspects of becoming a successful DJ is learning how to read the crowd. Although you must always have at least one ear and eye on the music you are playing, you must also be aware of your audience at all times. Watch how they respond to what you're playing, and always be prepared to switch it up if they don't seem to be enjoying what you're playing.

Prepare for DJ Work Hours

• Keep in mind that DJs do not work regular nine-to-five hours. Being a professional DJ will require that you work mostly evenings and weekends, and your job will often keep you up and away from home into the late night and early morning hours. In order to maintain and grow your fan base, you may also be asked to travel both within your own country, as well as internationally.
  

• DJ Equipment

  To begin DJing, you will need at least four basic pieces of equipment:

  1. Headphones
  2. Mixer
  3. Dual audio player: Either turntables, variable speed CD players/mixers, or MP3 players
  4. A large selection of music: Depending on what type of player you'll be using, either records, CDs, or MP3s

  These four pieces of equipment will get you set up to practice your skills, but once you begin DJing professionally, you will also have to purchase speakers, an amplifier, and, if you choose, a microphone.DJ Advantage: Basic Equipment Needed to DJ⁴

• Practice Makes Perfect

  • Because DJ equipment can be expensive, if you haven't done any DJing before, it's a good idea try it out and get some practice before spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on your own equipment. If you have a friend with DJ equipment, ask if you can practice using his equipment. You may also be able to use the equipment at a local bar or club during off hours if you have a good rapport with the owner or manager.DJ Advantage: Learning to DJ⁵ Learn2DJ: Starting out⁶
  • Once you have access to equipment, practice as much as you can. The players and mixer will have several different functions, such as cross-faders, gain, volume, pitch, and so forth. Practice playing around with the different controls to experience what they do and learn how to manipulate them to get different effects. Practice switching back and forth between songs and alternating between your two players since this is arguably the most important skill a DJ must possess. Deliberately make mistakes so that when you make errors during a live performance, you are more likely to know how to fix the problem and less apt to lose your cool.DJ Advantage: How to DJ⁷

• The Basics

  At its core, DJing is all about mixing music and keeping your audience entertained. Regardless of whether you're playing at a wedding or a huge rave, the basics remain the same: You want to create an enjoyable stream of music for your audience, keeping them entertained and, in most cases, dancing.DJ Advantage: What It Takes to be a Pro DJ⁸

  
  If you're an aspiring club DJ, one of the key aspects you'll have to learn is beatmixing (sometimes called beat matching). Beatmixing refers to matching the bass beats of two songs so that the transition between the two tracks is seamless.Recess.co.uk: The Point of DJing⁹ Perfecting this skill may take a great deal of practice, but doing so will further familiarize you with your equipment and controls.

  
  Once you have learned the basics, continue to experiment and learn more advanced skills, such as scratching and backspinning.DJ Advantage: What does it Take to Become a DJ?³

• Early Performances

  • For your first few gigs, consider hosting your own free party or DJing at a friend's house. That way, you will be able to practice your skills in front of a sympathetic audience and will likely be less nervous than if you were DJing for a large group of strangers. Also, since you aren't getting paid you'll have nothing to lose if you make mistakes. After your set, ask friends for feedback—figure out what the attendees did and didn't enjoy and use this information to perfect your style and technique. Once you have learned the basic skills, you may be able to practice and hone your skills at a small local or college radio station.

  Getting Your First Gig

  Once you feel you're ready to pursue DJing professionally, go out and promote yourself. To start with, it's a good idea to create a website with basic information where people can go to find out more about you if they are interested. Also consider printing some leaflets or business cards that you can distribute to interested parties.

  
  Check out upcoming events to see if there are any fairs or expos at which you can rent booth space for further exposure.

  
  If you're interested in DJing at clubs, visit clubs in your area and introduce yourself to the manager or owner. It's possible that you may luck out and find a club that happens to be in need of a DJ, but, if not, be sure to leave a good impression and a business card behind so they can contact you if they need your services in the future. If you live in a large city, it may also be possible to forge an affiliation with a management or booking agency that will help you find gigs, although you may have to pay a registration or finder's fee.

  
  The most important thing is to talk to everyone you can who is involved in the industry, from club owners to other DJs. Volunteer at local radio stations to get experience and exposure. Get your name out there and network with others in your industry.

Vinyl vs Digital

With all technical innovations there are controversies. Serato Scratch (and similar applications that allow you to DJ with MP3 files) is a breakthrough, though like any tool it can and has been used foolishly in the hands of some. I personally operate with Serato and it allows me to do the things I wished I had been able to do for years. I can edit a song an hour before a set, I can remove lengthy intros to allow for quicker cueing, or I can play music from my CD collection that was never available on vinyl. With this ease of use, it has made some DJs a bit lazy and, worse, has allowed some people with no interest in the art of DJing to play their hard drives' contents without context or any foresight of how it will affect a crowd.

First things first, let's talk about the sound. Vinyl purists will tell you that the warmth of vinyl is removed when Serato is used, which is technically correct. Since the 'warmth' is created by the harmony of the needle reading the grooves and the sound itself, Serato is incapable of the same 'warmth' as Serato reads a digital signal from the vinyl, not a groove cut with the actual music. Also, MP3 files, by definition, are compressed audio files with digital information removed from the original sound recording to lessen the file size. Vinyl has a wider range and does not have missing audio information. Additionally, ome DJs do not pay attention to the sound quality of the MP3 files they use. Grainy low birate rips or audio ripped from a scratched CD sound terrible at any volume, much less loud in a club. There are drawbacks to Serato's sound, but it is typically passable to the untrained ear (RE: a room full of people that want to dance).

In the last year, I have read a lot of articles that have stated that the playlists of DJs have been getting lazier due to the access to any music a person may want. Previously, as a DJ, it was necessary to hunt down and purchase records; which is not only costly in money, but costly in time. The art of digging for records is lessened in a world where the history of music is more or less available on iTunes and can be purchased at home rather than in the dust covered basement of a second hand record store. Though it has made some DJs lazy (I would argue that these DJs would be lazy anyway, the type who are going to buy the latest Lethal Weapons 12" every month and play radio singles all night), it has given truly innovative and knowledgeable DJs a wider arsenal. Now you are able to play songs sought after on vinyl, but are readily available on CD. Also, deep album cuts from the 60's or 70's, never released as a single cut to louder vinyl, have now become secret weapons for clever DJs without the fear of the vinyl sounding too distant or washed out.

The case has also been made that people who have no business of being DJs now have easy access to playing. While this is true, it is not the fault of technology like Serato. The same has been said about other DJing innovations - the uproar over CD DJ decks or iPod DJing units. In my mind, bad DJs will always be called out. Crowds can recognize sudden stops and false starts and they surely know when a floor clearing song comes on. Ultimately a good DJ will always prevail over a bad DJ, you have to give people credit for knowing the difference between a hack and a party starter - it's more obvious than most DJs realize.

Whether MP3 replaces vinyl is not my concern, and I'm not sure it is the concern of anyone in who participates in this discussion. It is the question of will the untrained novice replace the honed skills of a great DJ. That answer is 'no'.

New Product! Turntable PDX-3000MKII

DJs from 20years ago wouldn’t have believed you if you had told them that in the future, DJs show up to venues with portable computers and controllers. The media DJs play today may vary from what it once was, and the gear may have advanced over the years, yet the turntable still remains as a necessity for many. Why? Because the turntable remains as the only interface that allows DJs to play and control music with the simplest, but diverse maneuver. The amount of data analog turntables and vinyl feed to the DJ is massive and far more complicated than it is considered. The vibration to the finger tips, width an feel of the ditches is a few and it’s impossible to digitally simulate such factors. Vestax knows the importance of the turntable, and continues to produce quality interfaces, which will connect the DJs sensibility with music

NEW Product : DJ Controller VCI-300MKII

TOP OF THE LEAGUE

In 2008, the VCI-300+ITCH was the beginning for Vestax and Serato to create a new DJ console of the next generation.
The goal was clear. To design a light weight and compact digital DJ instrument with the touch of analog control.
Preserving the concept of the VCI-300+ITCH, the VCI-300MKII comes with usability improvements based on feedback from VCI-300 customers.
Vestax has considered every comment that has been received, and have put them all in act. Simply to give DJs what they want.
# HIGH RESOLUTION CONTROL
The VCI-300MKII can control more than 90 parameters and functions of the included Serato software with high resolution MIDI signals sent via USB. The pulse resolution of the JOG wheel and pitch control fader is 4 times higher than the VCI-100 and provides precise control of each function. The pitch control fader also shares the same high quality fader parts of the input fader for advanced operability.

# SUPERB AUDIO CHARACTERISTIC
The built-in audio interface carries a Audio Codec IC with superb audio characteristic, generated by a delta-sigma modulation 24 bit stereo D/A-A/D converter. Audio connection includes 1 stereo input, 1 MIC input and 2 stereo output (Master L/R, Monitor L/R).

# LEVEL INDICATION
A 12 level LED L/R indicator is set in the center of the top panel to monitor sound levels.

# FILE CONTROL
Audio files in the software library can be easily selected and controlled with the CRATES / FILES / BROWSE key and the cursor switch inherited from the VCM-100.

# EMERGENCY THRU SWITCH
The Emergency Thru Switch located on the rear panel is a countermeasure where you can use the VCI-300MKII with the provided ITCH software or without the computer connected if you simply want to play music from your external CD or MP3 player. The ITCH software reads music from your iTunes library or the Serato library you use for Scratch LIVE, making it the perfect device for recreational or professional DJ's.

# ADJUSTABLE JOG WHEEL TORQUE
The torque of each JOG wheel can be adjusted to prevent them from moving from low frequency feedback and altering the pitch when using the VCI-300 in such places like clubs.

# FADER CURVE CONTROL
The fader curve of each fader can be adjusted to the preferred characteristics for long mixes, scratching and any other style
