วีดีโอ

This whole using one wav file ( I think, I’m a bit if a Luddite) is kinda Wack. I like to hear a well know tune flipped. And the button pressing stuff, may as well be an mpc battle. I’m off to shout at some clouds.

serato beatgrids ıs 👎

was into turntablism around 4 years in my 20s, gave it up (luckiy, look at those guys - this video was very nice to watch, felt kind of nostalgic! Thanks i'm sure u know your mic sound has a loud high-pitch tone - this one can be edited out via EQing really easy

I am headache

Honestly, they have technical skill yes. But it feels completely devoid of soul. Stiff. The music selection is horrendous. Very sterile and antiseptic. totally devoid of funk, groove, soul. Can't say i'm a fan of all the tech in battles. I kinda think you should minimum be forced to use needles. But for me, I don't get nearly the vibe i got when i was in crowds in battles back in the day. They are technically decent. Not my style at all though. I'm not feeling this. No soul.

A sort of Hall effect, similar to those used in automotive for the cam and crank position (and other) sensors. would be my guess. The gaps in the magnets causes the magnetic field to fluctuate and picked up by the control arm as a sine wave, converted into sound waves with varying modulation dependent on the speed of the of the platter as it rotates... A guess, but I'm not a mechanic, electrical engineer, or musician...Still a nice effect though!

Lost a lot of the musicality sadly

This was super helpful DJ Blakey, keep them coming !!!!!🥇🥇🥇

Insanity

Jesus that Klever set. I've never seen that. Mind blown

I agree, I think Fummy should have won.

Who the hell are you. Lol!

👍🔥👍

Of course they don't do things like that anymore because it's all digitally audio routed through some MP3 player or their computer or whatever and all they got is some wax that they never change out on the wheels

1st K Swiss 2nd Fumi

These are awesome! I was one of the judges at the 2012 US DMC. You can see the tip top of my bald head 😅 As for the 45bpm juggle with reverse (Roc Raida), I remember Shortkut did that while we were on tour for Vestax 1994 in Japan.

Awesome didn't know about that stem setting I was using another piece of gear for that. Eq color is a good one too. Thanks

3rd place shoulda won. He killed it. Fly’s set was rubbish.

Kentaro was my fav winner from back in the day. Nothing compares to

Hey Blakey, thank you for this little overview of the most important settings and help with Serato DJ Pro - it helped me - best regards from Bavaria

That dj craze routine blows my head off when I saw it back in the 2000!!!

Very helpful video, thanks. What would you say are the minimum specs needed for a windows laptop to run Serato?

Be alright if they kept a break going…. It’s just FuQing noise.

Thanks for sharing your settings 👍🏾

Opening track hooked❤❤❤❤😊😊

Great set saw a short on scratching your name popped up and ive heard of you before im old still love garage will be checking out more vids ❤❤

Great tips mate, reassuring that I have the same settings 😅

How was that kentaro not a winning set? How good was his opponent? 😮

I'm telling you if the needle ain't hitting the record then it don't count. The beauty about this art form is balancing that tone arm and stylus on real vinyl!!!! Otherwise might as well use cdjs

No needle on record = automatic fail in my opinion. Sorry. But FUMI was the best. The other 2 might as well use CDjs. Everybody knows part of what makes it special is balancing that tone arm and stylus on the record. 😅😅😅😅

Mixmaster Mike would have made these dudes CRY! The only DJ ever to be BEGGED to stop entering competitions entirely to give someone, ANYONE else even a slight chance to shine. Amateurs.

Here’s the thing about craze’s 98 set. It was an actual MIX. Most DJs would get up and showcase their unique mixes but none would really transition to the next thing as smoothly as craze did. Like the entire set was smooth, tight and clean.

Great video. How powerful of a laptop do you need to run the 1 milisecond? Or just keep it at 2 since it’s only 1 millisecond? I wonder why this setting exists if it’s so demanding on the hardware.

did they have a analog battle this year?

When serato dj gonna upgrade to Mac OS sequoia

I love the new tech I got my first set of 1200s back in the early 90s music is digital but I still have records and crates of records great for sampling

I understand and respect the skill and coordination required to play these sets but aside from being awed by the skill it sounds like trash imho

Definitely install that send audio out of Serato feature. This way you can record your sets in your daw or anything on your computer that will receive Serato audio. That’s a game changer for Serato. Now you can record streaming tracks in your daw of choice or send audio to OBS when streaming. Huge feature you over looked. Without this your streaming audio will sound like crap!

Fly is unbeatable now. This guy is like bugatti chiron in cars. Power full fast precise detailed unique. His style sounds the best for me 👊👊 45 rpm 🙆 real turntablism. Creating new songs in real time. Awesomeeeeeeee 🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼

Thank you so so much for entertaining me on my Sunday night working. Great set I hope and look forward to listening to more of your work soon 😃

lots of love blakey - first discovered you on the sticker lock vid you did for serato. that impeach the president break was also the first juggle i learned. hope you've got something coming up soon for the blakey school 👀

i think Hangar's set went over so many peoples heads that year .. i would also say that Dexta's 2,000 DMC is a classic.. another dj that dont get enough props is P- Trix for introducing platter power off juggling.. but there are so many classic routines of the years of DMC it's hard to name them all ..

thx

great video bro

Is the sync mode on in the first transistion?

When serato dj pro going upgrade sequoia ?

Great tips bro

I like to use some echo in my scratches. The first guy didn't sound very musical. 2nd guy is a bit better but when I hear all this slightly out of time scratching that doesn't really go anywhere I can't say it's something I would want to listen to in a club. The last guy boasts the whole show at 45 but true turntableism would use 33 and tricks such as tapping the 45 while holding down the 33. He is just saying that he is limiting himself. Honestly I would be more interested in a musically impressive show but with less showing off attempted tricks. They are all trying to pull of tricks that all too often sounds more messy than good. Way over my level but still. The last two were both good I think the last guy was the one I would vote for.

I'm selling the Technics DMC mixer right now for €200 in France. It's on leboncoin if anyone is interested.
