Some mixing videos I made

Here are a couple of quick videos I made... nothing too crazy, just examples of basic mixing. Thought they might be helpful to anyone just starting out:

Basic mixing on a Xone 92 (rotary) and CDJ-1000's:

Mixing with Torq and Technics 1200MK5's:

Nice! overlaping a bit much on the lows in the first vid

On a serious note.. rotory seems like fun, although it must be kinda awkward at first when your used to faders, good vids.

Ahh

Rotaries are definately great. I had a Denon DN-X1500 before I went with the Xone. You can really control the levels in such small amounts, sometimes I don't even use the eq's to mix.

I really want to get a rotary mixer. If I had one I wouldn't use the EQs either.

And with the filters (high pass), you have another mixing tool in your belt.

You should get a Urei 1620LE
They are still selling them for 499 (pounds) in the UK.

How much do they go for in Texas?

Posted by Ryan0751 on Nov-03-2006 18:10:

Well I meant ordering one from overseas...

I actually looked into it, with shipping it was like $900 from the UK.

Buy it in the US, and you'll pay $1500!

Great videos mate..

Only thing i noticed.. Your poor back. Love all the equipment (obviously) but does your back not start giving out to you after a good hours session?

Put it this way, while the setup you have there looks really nice, if that was all raised up a good 20cm, i'd say you'd be a lot more comfortable.

just my 2c.. (an observation more than anything )

Nice vids though

niceeeeee setup.

Posted by Ryan0751 on Nov-06-2006 11:14:

It's definately a bit low, but no really easy way to raise it up.

Fortunately I'm only 5'7".

5' 7"!!!!!!

Wow! Well then you're lucky aren't you. Setup isn't half as bad as it could be.

Either way it's nice, and most importantly. The mixing is tight
