Your Chance to Get an Idea for a Piece of DJ Kit Added or Made for the Next Generation

0:00 First of all, before I continue with this video, check out South Soul

Right, ladies and gentlemen, first of all, before I continue with this video, check out South Soul Records. This isn't a promotional video or anything like that. I just want to, I suppose, teach and inspire you and any new DJs out there, if you're wondering where the samples come from, from the modern day dance tracks or for that matter, practically any track you like, it's very likely it comes from an old South Soul record, Salsa and Soul Music. Sort of originated 70s, early 80s. For example, two classic tracks is Luetta Holiday Love Sensation and Gaz Sing Baby Sing. Yes, or Sing Sing. I think DJ Cool Let Me Clear My Throat used the break in that. So go and check them out. You could be pleasantly surprised. Anyway, let's get back to the job at hand. This video. Comment at the end of the video. Not now.

1:53 Wouldn't it be great to have a USB-C plug as well?

Because I want to make sure that you understand the whole idea behind this video. Okay, so this involves PA, lighting, CDJs, vinyl turntables, controllers, everything, even down to software. Okay, so you've got your software in front of you, you've got your controller and I'm not on about the high end or the low end, just the controller in front of you. And you feel as though it could have an extra add-on to enhance the performance, to enhance your experience of using that controller. Then in a comment, let me know what that should be. Maybe you've got a great idea of a new effect. Some kind of hard drive you'd like to have put inside, maybe a different form of input. For example, one great idea I thought of, which isn't really a great idea, to me it's pure logic, is for example, a lot of the Pioneer XDJ series, they have a USB plug. Wouldn't it be great to have a USB-C plug as well? Also, maybe some form of plug that will let you take out...

3:12 Idea potentially, controller, comments

That plug and put a new one in because of course maybe over time they're going to wear away which means you've got to send it back to the manufacturer and get a new one instead have a plug that you can change yourself instead of sending it back just another idea so what i want you to do in a comment is post your idea Now, this is the great thing. I'm going to pass this video on to the powers that be and hopefully they'll go through the comments and you never know, in two or three years time your idea could actually be on a controller. Now don't expect to get loads of revenue from that because this is the web and whatever you put there is automatically shared anyway. But wouldn't it be great? To think that your idea potentially could help a company and your idea could be put on one of the new products. Now, it's very likely, but it's possible that that company who has maybe had your idea could potentially get involved, say thank you very much and here's a free something. I don't know, I'm just thinking off the top of my head. You never know.

But that's the way the internet works. So in a nutshell, you've got a controller in front of you. You'd love to have something added onto that controller to make it easier for you to use. Put that in a comment. Also put down the item that you're using. So don't just say it would be great to have X, Y and Z on a controller. Explain what controller or lighting or mixer or PA or turntable you've got And then explain what you'd like on that piece of kit. All right, hope that's a help. Look forward to your comments. I'm really looking forward to seeing these comments because I know there's a lot of people out there who've got some wicked ideas and it's your chance, wherever you are around the world, you could be in the middle of nowhere, like me, and you can get your idea seen. Now that is amazing.

Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
