0:00 I want to introduce you to this website

Alright folks, I want to introduce you to this website. It's known as StyleFlip. Look in the description to the side of this video and follow the link. It'll take you to this website. Now first of all as well, very importantly, we've all got CD players, mixers, turntables, amplifiers, effects, pro audio kit. But when you buy something from the shop... And you buy, say, I don't know, a turntable, X turntable, then the DJ who buys that turntable is buying exactly the same turntable. It looks exactly the same when it comes out of the box. But we all want something that's slightly different. Now, of course, then you can pimp up your turntable, but if you do it yourself, there's possibly a good chance you might knacker it, wreck it, put too much spray paint around it or slap a sticker where it shouldn't be. Well, what this website have done, they've got a concept

Whereby they will pimp up your turntable for you, but the difference is you style it. You can style it however you want it. In other words, you can go on the web, you can have your own pictures, you can bung your pictures on your turntable with a transfer and you can make it look good as opposed to... Unprofessional and though you've just slapped something on and it looks drab. So what we'll do here, I'll just click on DJ gear. Now we've got here, again this is a very basic video, effects units, turntables, CD players, mixers. So let's say we click on mixers. OK, we've got DJM500, 600, 700, 800, DJM909, DNX100, DXM06, there is... 24 products here to choose from. So let's click on this one, it's the DNX100. Right, what we've got now, we've got the mixer there and if I click here on style it, takes a little time to load up. Now there is the basis of the mixer, if you imagine that's the top of it. Now I will go slightly more in depth with this in the near future and I'll show you how you can pimp up your mixer.

And exactly the same applies with a turntable, CD player etc. But from this page what you can do, you can add colours, you can add pictures. The beauty about it is though you'll always get the writing so you don't have to worry about that. So you'll always know what knobbly bits do what, what buttons do what, what to press, what not to press. But you can pimp it up how you want it. If you want a picture of yourself with your tongue sticking out you can have that. Alternatively, if you want a picture of your favourite DJ, you can have that. Or if you want a picture or some wording of your website, you can have it slapped right across your mixer. Same with your CD player, your vinyl turntable. Also what you can do, if you imagine you've got your CD player here and your CD player there and you've got your mixer in the middle, well you can actually have a transfer that goes straight across. So you've got almost like one huge picture but...

It's in thirds, so you've got a tiny bit of it on your CD player, you've got the middle bit on your mixer and then you've got the other bit on the CD player as well. Go and check it out, see what you think. I'll be doing loads more videos on this in the future. Practice and enjoy.
