Nextbeat pluged into a Dj Mixer.

Alright guys, punk style video for you and in this one we're looking at this guy here. It's the Nexbeat. It's basically an all-in-one handheld DJ console but there's a slight difference. We've got a docking station there and then this part of the unit you can walk around with and do a bit of a mix. So what I've done is I've gone from this guy here into channel 4 of the mixer. So I've gone from the output of this guy into line 4. I've gone from the output of this tabletop CD player into channel 3. So now, in a sense, I can use this mixer exactly as I normally would with this CD player and even though this is not really a CD player, it's like the next level up again and again and again, I can treat this now as a normal CD player because I'm going into line 4.

1:26 It's only a very small point, but

And then I can cue it up by using the headphone socket on this mixer. So what you have to consider here, let's say for example you're in a situation whereby you're in a club environment, you would take a little bit more time, but I'm showing you what you can do if you take more time. So the tracks I'm using are by Danny J Lewis, I'll put the names of the tracks in the description. So we've got the end of this track playing, now let's say hypothetically all of a sudden I want to mix in some cool track. But I don't want to just sit there behind the mixer, I want to start walking around the crowd. That's what you can do. So, channel 3 up, because that's this one here. And then channel 4, I'm ready to go with this guy. Let's have a listen. Now bearing in mind as well, you've got to spend a bit of time maybe beatmatching etc, but hopefully you'll get the general idea. So, for example now, I can take that out there, like that. Now, it's only a very small point, but...

There's a strap for a reason. Put that like that because if someone does knock into you then at least it's not going to fall on the floor is it? You don't want that to happen. Right so, now bearing in mind that is the very very basic way of how you can explain how it can be used with reference to being plugged into a mixer and having a CD player playing a track and then mixing in another one but hopefully in future videos we'll be taking it to the next level We'll be incorporating loops, more effects, etc. And then once we play the track here, then of course logically we can, if we want to, go back to the CD player, tabletop CD player, bring another track in. Alternatively, you can of course get another track on the other side and then when you're out there, instead of just thinking you can only play one track, in other words, one here, one there, and then come back to there, that's a no-no because you can play one there, one there, and then go back to the second deck.

And have another mix so you could spend half an hour going back from track to track, alright? Next beat. And I will be taking this to Las Vegas in February 2010 to the Mobile Beat Show, so come and check it out. Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
