0:00 Just had the Pioneer V10 delivered
Right, just had the Pioneer V10 delivered. Sadly I can't keep it. I've only got it for a couple of weeks but what an insane piece of kit. It's monstrous. It's massive. It's a big, big chunk of metal with lots of wires and cables and a lot of time and effort has gone into making this. It's insane. Sadly I've got to give it back. I might just pretend that I haven't got it anymore. I could always sort of hide it underneath my pillow, couldn't I? Perhaps not. Right, so I won't even scratch the surface of what this can do in this video but I'm going to give it a go. Alright, so what can we get out of this? Well first of all if you're in a nightclub and you're doing a back-to-back set then you don't have to worry about messing around with headphones anymore because you can plug two sets of headphones in.
You haven't got to worry about effects because there's so many effects in here. It's insane! Now, I'm going to use a loop here and I'm just going to run through some of the effects on the left-hand side using the filter, the size, feedback, time, tone, mix level. It's just like, my God, I think... You know, some people in their house, they will have on the mantelpiece what I call dust collectors, which is ornaments that sit there and they collect dust. I'd quite happily have that on my mantelpiece and let it collect dust because it looks good. Right, so... OK, so at the moment, a bit of reverb on the high-pass filter. We've got the high-pass filter, we've got the low-pass filter, but what we can do is we can add...
2:00 Some delay, short, long, dub echo, reverb over this
Some delay, short, long, dub echo, reverb over this. So that sound in itself is amazing. Love it. Absolutely love it. Let me just tip that forward a little bit. On that as well and the size of the feedback. We've changed, completely changed the parameter of this sound. Come out of low pass, go to high pass. Absolutely amazing. So one, two, three, four, five, six channels. Oh my god, it's just insane. Touchscreen over here and we have isolator. Now what they've done is they thought you know what when you need to isolate a certain frequency instead of having a small knob let's just good big chunky ones which they've done just here for the beat effects and also something that you may think well is it worth it? Isn't it worth it? I think it is.
4:39 Mixer, bring, music
Now what they've done here is you've got high and low on the level for the booth. Alright, so when you're in the DJ booth and you want to just turn up that bass a little bit or maybe the high end's a little bit too harsh, you can do just that. It's absolutely insane. Alright, now this is going to be a very short video. What I do desperately need to do is study it a little bit more. I would say I need to go back to college, maybe learn physics, chemistry, science, zoology and how long a fly can live for. Come back here and then maybe I might start to get to grips with how this machine works. Absolutely insane. So right, the V10 from Pioneer, DJM V10. Now I do not know, alright? But, let's be honest, okay? What do most companies do when they bring out a new product, whether it be a CD player or a mixer to begin with, then undoubtedly at some point in the near future there will be, if they bring out the mixer, there'll be a CD player. Or if they bring out the CD player, there will be a mixer. So I would hazard a guess to say
Soon, if not in the next however long, there will be players to go with this. And when they bring them out, watch out world, because I am convinced it's going to change the way we look at DJing. But overall what I love about this mixer is the quality of sound and also now, when you heard that loop... Let's get a low pass.
6:46 A DJ can become the producer whilst in the mix
It just sounds good. You know, I'd be happily listening to that for quite a long time and then add something else over it like an acapella, for example. You know, it's not the sort of sound that annoys you. It's a sound that you can play with. Now, I'm going to finish off with this video by saying that this allows you If we go back to the 80s, then you had people who would produce music and the DJs would play that music. And then towards the latter part of the 80s, early 90s, a lot of DJs thought, hold on a minute, we can make our own music. So a lot of DJs started making their own music, but mostly a DJ would play other people's music. And then of course you've got, well where you are, well actually not where you are now because I don't want to contradict what I'm about to say soon. But sort of still to this day you have producers who will be at home making music for DJs but you do have a lot of DJs who are producers who will make music at home as well. But now with the tech we have even like the likes of that over there, the XZ from Pioneer DJ.
A DJ can become the producer whilst in the mix. What does that mean? It's very simple, it's just what I said. While you're there forming a transition because there's so much technology and effects that you can do on the fly in the mix, you are now... The producer, alright? So really the gap in between the producer at home stuck in his room or her room with a laptop and the DJ in the club playing the tunes has gone. Because now you are a producer. So what I did just there, I am the first person in the world to make that exact sound with that loop. No one else has ever done it before, ever. I did that and only I have ever done that. You can't copy it. You will never ever be able to copy that precisely. You know why? Because you would have to have that track, you'd have to have that CD, you'd have to have all of the settings exactly as they are. You may be able to, which is highly unlikely though. So if you are in the mix and all of a sudden you decide to add a loop. I'll play with it. I can't play with myself anymore, I can play with this.
You can just do anything with this, alright? Alright, so don't forget, this is the... Oh God. I wonder what I'm going to have to do to try and keep this. I don't know. I suppose you can only ask, can't you? Please can I keep this? Please! Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
