First look November 2008

Contents of the video

Right, so it's got a nice effect, a nice sound effect for you on this guy here. It's the CDJ-800. First of all, have a listen. Right, how do we do that? I'll show you. OK, you've got here real time cue in and out. Basically these two buttons will enable you to sample the music. So let's play the music first of all. What happens when you press real time cue in, it will start the sample. When you press out, it will stop the sample. Now generally people will do one beat, two beats, three, four beats. What you need to do is you need to hit real time cue in and then out within a split second of each other. So first you hit real time cue in, second you hit out as follows. Let's play the music. Like that. I hit them very, very quickly. Alright, we may not get exactly the same sound as last time. It doesn't really matter. This is just a demonstration. Move the camera a bit closer. We need to look at this area over here. Now, at the moment, we've got that light shining. It's got number 8 on it. Next, we've got 1 over 1. The next one down, we've got 1 over 2. If we press that, we've got 4 shining now. Next one, a 2. Next one, a 1. Okay, we've got that sound.

I'm going to move the camera back. At the moment now, the pitch control is set to plus or minus 10. Now have a listen when we move the pitch to minus 10. Now have a listen when we move the pitch to plus 10. Back to zero, press cue. Have a look. Oh, camera's going all over the place. Now check this out. Doesn't stop there. Have a listen. Bring it up to plus 10. Doesn't stop there. Bring it back down to zero. There you go, bit of a tip, bit of a trick for you. CDJ 800, practice and enjoy.

The stages are the way through

Below this line is the back catalogue, newest first. Useful for browsing, but it is not a course - the videos are in the order they were filmed, not the order to learn them in. Work the stages instead: each one assumes the one before it.
