Uhmmm... that's a Projectmix I/O and what appears to be a Profire 2626, though I'm not sure. The preamp is a Presonus Bluetube and who could miss the G5 on the floor and the Waves NPP on the windowsill?

Oh, right, it is the m-audio. Thanks for pointing that out. I stand corrected  :-)

hula ko tol

1st - DJ Slyce (USA) tang*na noong late 90's pa siya nagcompete ah
2nd - DJ Co-Ma (Japan) very technical
3rd - DJ Fly (France) favourite ng mga judges

ewan ko kung ma-included si Khadafi sa final 8. medyo ok lang ang routine niya na napanood ko sa youtube. kailangan talaga very technical at musical din.

ano na ba ang resulta? nung saturday pa to ah

Lets hope and pray that Benjie - DJ Skin Khadafi brings back the glory for Filipino DJs here in Manila.

i use to have 2 gemsound turntables (walang pambili ng 1200 hehehe) with a numark mixer. sa bahay ko lang ginagamit yun kasi kulang yung plaka ko. I also have a numark total control that i used with my laptop but that was not my first controler. Yung x session ang unang una ko then i switched to a bcd2k then 3k then the total control. Right now i sold most of my gear since im trying to build a studio so im back to using the bcd2k with a umx25 ucontrol.

I see, you’ve got a lot kit there. What kind of studio you’re planning to build? Some say kasi yung bcd3k hindi sya compatible sa VDJ so I’m just interested on bcd2k..

Dami mo na palang napagdaanan na dj gears sir.. good luck  to you and to your studio.

^^ what do you mean di compatible?kung di compatible yung 3k bro lalo na yung 2k. daming bugs nun e .nagtyatyaga nga lang ako ngayon kasi mas priority ko yung studio. pang digital recording pero meron ding full band set up. may banda din kasi ako. if you are goito use the bcd2k with vddj make sure you use the latest version of the vdj. yun gamit ko ngayon and medyo nabawasan yung bugs.

ah ok.. So it's not true that the issue of having the bcd3k not compatible with the VDJ. So sa updated version lang ng VDJ para mawala yung bugs? Kasi I have ask a friend that  have a bcd3k kung ano yung handle nya.. masyado daw madaming bugs and errors. but the problem is, I don’t like the updated version of VDJ 5.0.

3.4 lang ang talagang nagustuhan ko. Because of effects and loops.. sa 5.0 kasi masyado pang kaunti ang mga effects nya.. pero yun lang naman ang inayawan ko sa updated version.. wait ko pa yung mgiging final result nya kung dadami din ang loops and effects.. sa skin naman. Meron parin syang default so ok parin syang gamitin kung hindi lang dahil sa mga effects. Yung skin nya ksi na maliit yung turntables. Hindi ko type hehe.. anyway, thanks for the information  dude..  :-)

i dont used the customized skins. Masyado makulay and confusing.yung sa effects you can download the effects and as far as i know same namnan yung effects ng lahat ng version e that is kung hindi crack yung gamit mo. there are some version kasi ng vdj floating in the net na customized and mas marami syang effects.downside is you cant use it to broadcast live on the net.

noong unang panahon...dati nung wala pa yung pioneer (eto ata yung first mixer na may integrated bpm counter na nakita ko)...mano mano ang pagkuha ng bpm

nakukuha yung bpm ng song using 2 technics 1200s. lagay mo yung song in question sa isang deck, tapos hanap ka ng song na may nakalagay na bpm dun sa 2nd deck. make sure na nasa gitna yung pitch control nung may known bpm (halimbawa 120bpm). tapos habulin mo yung beat dun sa first deck (na may unknown bpm) let's say for example +2% sa pitch control readout so mas mabagal yung bpm nung unknown song kaya gagawin mo subtract mo yung percentage dun sa 120bpm:

convert mo muna yung 2% to decimal = 0.02

120bpm - (1 - 0.02) = 117 bpm yung bpm nung unknown song

kung -2% naman e di add mo sya e.g.

120bpm - (1 + 0.02) = 122 bpm yung bpm nung unknown song


pwede lang tong method na to sa mga accurate na quartz turntables

mga master may tanong ako
habol ko lang kasi yung 'scratch' sound and feel (ng turntable)
so alam ko hindi ko kelangan ng full setup

tapos may nakita ako dito kay qbert:
feature=related

qfo yata tawag nila
dyan ba pwede mag play lang ng song from isang outside source like a cd player
tas yung function lang nung turntable mag produce ng mga 'scratch' etc. na sound

saka yan din ba yung binebenta sa audiophile???

salamat po
paki linawan naman ako hehe

Vestax QFO Q-Bert Signature Turntable with Built-In Mixer



The QFO, a new revolutionary model, has broken the barriers of the common DJ set-up of a mixer in the middle and turntables on each side. A new form of musical expression is captured with the turntable centered with mixer functions encompassing the unit, allowing the user to procreate sound and a new style. It has been said that 'one man' shall start history, and Q-BERT has been proving so. As a DJ, Q-BERT has taken the World by storm, from pioneer to innovator, using the turntable as an instrument. The style of the next generation begins.

External input mixer
Pre-loaded with the Global Professional Standard of the PMC-05PRO III circuitry. External inputs for each 2 channels, and ability to assign sources from the QFO itself to each channel.

Dynamic balance straight arm
Adopting a unique method, using the power balance of a spring instead of gravity, stabilizing the needle pressure. This increases traceability for less skipping -- especially during aggressive play.

Direct drive AC motor
The heart of the instrument is the original high-torque direct drive taken from the stable and reliable PDX-2000.

Included are 2 sets of Start/Stop, 33/45 RPM, Reverse, and Quartz Lock controls, symmetrically laid out with a cross fader in between, giving the player a universal set-up.

180-degree spin slide pitch control
Total pitch adjustment up to +/- 50%, with a spin slide control placed around the platter. Combine operative functions with your hand movements!

Crossfader
Included is the CF-PCV, the fader that has established the PMC-05 and other series. The fader settings have been upgraded and designed to withstand vibration during operation of the QFO.
