WHY Tribexr and WHY Now BY Ellaskins the DJ Tutor

0:00 A lot of it is just spot damn on

At the moment I'm on the selfie cam, so I'm going to give you a little bit of info into TribeXR, what's new, what's hot, what's not, which isn't actually much that's not hot. A lot of it is just spot damn on. Okay, so we've got SoundCloud integration. I'll tell you more about that in the future, but at the moment... I'm talking to you on the selfie cam. So if you're not familiar with TribeXR, or for that matter, if you're not familiar with virtual reality, then this is exactly the shit, man. This is what's going on right now in TribeXR. Yes, what I have in front of me is virtual reality DJing. Fear of dust. Well, in other words, if you've got the hardware, you've always got to dust that shit, haven't you? But here, you know what? Man, I can just play to my heart's content, take my headset off.

And I'm back in my living room. Alright, so what am I going to talk about today? Okay, a few things. First of all, about the integration with the visuals. Now that is really cool. So if I just move the selfie cam there, you should be able to see I've got some like wacky kind of thing going on behind me. Now what I can do is I can download any sort of imagery, any video footage. Again, make sure... That you're legally allowed to use that, you know, just check the terms and conditions so you can use it yourself. If you can, you download it and then you can have that behind you. What a great backdrop for your tunes. So, you know, if you're an industrial DJ, then you want some like wacky kind of machinery behind you.

2:39 Angle, allowed play, worried

But if you're a bit of a trippy freak like me, and you like your funk, your soul, your house, then ooh boogaloo! I mean, I can do this, I could go down here to something different. So at the moment, I've just got these two visuals behind me, and I can chop and change during my set. Now, also what you can do with TribeXR is you can integrate the likes of Twitch. You can live stream as well onto Twitch, onto Facebook, onto YouTube. Again, check terms and conditions with the audio you're using. But what I would like to say, I'm going to use a tune here by Mr. Lenny Fontana from Karmic Power Records. The great thing about Mr Lenny Fontana and Karmic Power Records is that they have given me the green light to use their music, which means I won't have any issues, hopefully, with copyright. So if you're worried, and this is very important, if you're worried about maybe playing some tracks, uploading the content to social media...

And maybe worried about having it blocked, taken off or something like that, then you need to check who you're uploading to. Now YouTube for example, there is a link where you can check tracks to see if you can play them. Not only if you can play them, but if you're legally allowed to and also if you can play them to the extent that they will or won't damage your channel itself. Because even myself, I played some tracks, no problem. Other tracks, I've had adverts. Other tracks, it's blocked in certain countries and other tracks they've just said we're going to hang you by your testicles. You're not allowed to play that again. And the video is just completely blocked. So it's not just you that has problems. It's practically everybody. Okay, so on the selfie cam now I can just move in any direction I want. So the great feature here is let's say like myself, you're giving a demonstration, a tutorial.

To angle the camera in any way, shape or form you want. So I can set it here, I can set it down here, wherever I want. Now also, you can't see this, but in front of me is basically a screen with all of my settings. So if I want to, with the trigger finger, I can go to front cam. So there you go. You can see me front-wise. We can go to top down. You have a really good bird's eye view. We can go shoulder, RIE, and also to the side like that. Now I like this angle. But again, you see what you can do if you think about it. If you're putting together a set... It takes a second just to change camera angle. Now, what I'm trying to get to here is that I appreciate the fact that when you're doing a set, you're playing some tunes and it sounds good. There's nothing better than changing the camera angle. So top down, you're doing something like this. You know, you want the public to see your moves and then all of a sudden you want to start dancing. Well, then you can dance.

Front view there's no point dancing from the top down all right you see people can see my hands but they can't see me but front boom now you can see what i'm doing from the side there we go and all of a sudden you want to show some close-up of some sick move then there you go use the selfie cam boom i love that now again we've got two decks but you can integrate for decks and this is amazing but again i have you know i've talked about these features before in previous videos but there will always be someone who'll be watching a video like this for the very first time with a mouth open going Oh my God, what the frack is going on? This is insane. Now, what I'm about to tell you now is gonna blow your frigging mind, especially in today's society with what's going on. Because in some places around the world, you can't even give someone a hug. But you know what? You can in virtual reality. Because not only...

Can I be in virtual reality and play some tunes? Let's have Mr. Lenny Fontana in the background. This is time to get down. And by the way, there will be a link in the description to Karmic Power Records. Also, there will be a link to TribeXR and don't forget to join their Discord chat room as well. So let's imagine you're playing in your house some funky tunes Some other guy, some other girl who is into DJing as well and they have TribeXR. But you know what? They don't live next door. They don't live down the road. They don't live in the next city. They live in the next country. They live the other side of the mother frigging world. Well, you know what? So long as you know when both of you are ready and good to go, you can get that person and join in and play the set together.

8:26 My tracks, let's do club mix

Now, in the past, what you had to do is each person had to have the same files and all this to play a set using the same music. But now, you don't have to. Now I can play my tracks and that person can hear my tracks in real time and play their own tracks and I can hear those in real time. So now, I can do a mix with someone who is the other side of the frigging world And also, I can give them a man hug. And they can give me a man or a lady hug. That is so beautiful. Okay, so let's have a look at the kit. Alright, so what we've got here is, in fact, let's do top down. Alright, so what we've got, we have the basics here. We have two turntables, mixer in the middle and also the screen. Rx, the RX2 and also the XDJ-XZ with the screen top, right at the top. Now again if I load up another track, so if I go to my tracks, let's do club mix this time, phone to deck 2, and there we go. So what we've got now is you can see now I have the wave format of the two decks.

I would of course have the wave format of the four decks here. Now the mixer itself is very similar to a well-known brand, the Nexus Mark II, very close to it indeed. We have our beat effects here and we have our colour effects. The decks are very similar to the Nexus 2000s. Jog wheel, if I go to CDJ mode, sorry, I beg your pardon, vinyl mode. I was originally in CDJ mode. Our pitch, slow it down, speed it up. And also what we, let me just go front again. What you can do is if you're not brilliant at beatmixing, you can of course set master and slave. Now, again, I'm not the sort of person who likes to use that much, but let's imagine if you're doing a four deck mix. And you just want to have it snapped in time and you don't want to spend hours beatmatching. I highly recommend if you're using 4 decks, to use the master slaves because basically then it means you can concentrate more on the mix instead of trying to get them in beat. Okay so we have our color effect dial, let's do filter, bass mid treble, we've got our trim, we have our master volume here and also

10:51 You should be able to see now, headphones is highlighted on the right

We can monitor, so basically how that works. I'll cue that up there, make sure that's cued up. Okay, so with your hand controllers you have the trigger finger. Now if I put my hand controller to my ear right here and click, I can now see, so if I go top down... You should be able to see now, headphones is highlighted on the right. So that means now I'm able to monitor using my right ear. So long as I now press the cue button, I'm able now to monitor that side with my right ear while my left ear is listening to the main PA. Alternatively, I can use my left hand finger on the trigger, click And now you can see the headphone is highlighted right and left, which means I'm now able to monitor using both sides of the headphone. Another click for the right, another click for the left, and there you go. And now I'm able to hear the track itself. Press play again, needle search through the track, and again we can loop. Come out of that loop, let's go front again, boom.

Okay, so basically ladies and gentlemen, all I'm trying to get to here is, well when I say all I'm trying to get to here, forget that. Alright, there's a lot of people out there who can't, let's admit it, a lot of people out there, a lot of people don't know that. That's a saying that me and a mate have got, but big up to you. Alright, so a lot of people out there cannot afford kit. They can't even afford a small tiny controller. But the beauty with TribeXR is that if you do have a virtual reality setup, it's a few bucks, you download it and there you go. You've got all the kit in front of you. Not only that, but TribeXR have actually got tracks already for you to use so you don't even have to have any music. There are tunes for you to use, okay?

There is so much happening in this space right now, you wouldn't believe it. And I highly recommend you come on in and join the fun, alright? So a big shout out to TribeXR, to The Massive, to a lot of people who have so much fun. I look forward to seeing you again. Ellaskins, The DJ Tutor. Practice and enjoy. And now I'm going to stop recording. Bear with me. Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
