FAO: Seneca

You played Junkie XL - More (Matthew Dekay Remix) Jan 12th 08 I think it was.

But you played with a lot of effects on the song am I right? Would you mind sharing your secret recipe? Maybe like what effects you used and stuff.

I am just getting in to DJ'ing and I am trying to replicate your take on this song.

Thanks

Also, what does the robot effect on the DJM-800 do? I just have traktor pro, but if I ever get the chance to DJ in front of a crowd I suppose I will have a DJM800 to play with....and I want to know what the effect does heh.

Also is there a way to preview the effects before you actually play them? Because they seem to take a lot of precision with getting the effect just right.

ah take it easy guys... I think it was ok to post this here in case someone else wanted to provide some insight.

Yeah I played that at localized and I think its crazy how you bring that up now so long after. I couldn't tell you exactly what I did to that specific track during the mix that night because everything is spontaneous and decided at that very moment.

A few "go-to" effects on the DJM-800 are the Crush and Filter. The crush creates a distorted sound while filtering the sound up or down. The Filter simply only allows low-frequency sounds or hi-frequency sounds pass through depending on which way you turn the knob. You can use the filter to create smoother mixes, emphasize a build or create tension.

I also use delay and flanger on the selectable efx section on the lower right. The delay effect can enhance a groove or stutter a sound and the flanger creates a whoosing noise.

As for the Robot, I rarely if ever have used it but it is a vocoder type effect.

For a breakdown on the DJM-800, check out this link:

hope that helps and if you have any more questions, fire away.

I think you played it at Cosmic Gate as well, when you and Ben Brown opened.

I was just trying to recreate the effects you used.

DJing is way too complicated with all the mixering or whatever they call it anyway. Just pick up something like this and be the star you were born to be...
