Hi there,

I have a decent home setup, one that allows me to play exactly what I want when I want it.

Two technics running to a Denon mcx8000 which is connected to either a laptop for mixing on 4 channels digitally or standalone to mix off USBs.

I also have a Vestax PMC 250 which I used to run my turntables through. I'm about to build a DJ booth so I want to Incorporate everything into one system if that makes sense.

So if keep my current setup could I run the master output of the Denon to a channel on the PMC so I could use the rotary isolators on said channel.

What issues could I face (if any)

Also has anyone put a patch at in so they can quickly route different players to mixers?

Thanks

Hi there,

New Serato user but not dj and I'm looking to replicate a feature from Rekordbox to make up for my piss poor timing when bashing hit cues.

Whenever I would launch a hot cue in rekordbox quantization would keep it locked so that it plays on beat. This was great because my timing was terrible. I cant seem to find that feature in Serato.

Does it have it.

Now I know there's better serato controllers out there but I think for the money and features it's very under rated. Especially s it can be picked up second hand for a couple of hundred quid.

So just some background. I used to DJ for years on vinyl, then CDs, then Ableton then back to usb sticks before life getting on the way and I gave up on the hobby.

I recently over the course of a year or two got a vinyl setup going again but wanted a standalone unit to play MP3 files.

I opted for the demon mcx8000 because I could run my turntables through em and it was cheap (400 euros)

I didn't use engine software with it, I just loaded up a usb, plugged it in and beatmatched manually. It's been fantastic and did exactly what I wanted.

Fast forward to a few months ago and a friend of mine asked me to DJ a few gigs with him. He has an RX2 so I began using rekordbox to prep my files. The RX2 is great and after a few chats back and forth with my mate we both figured a standalone with 3 channels would be perfect for us.

So last night I was looking up a standalone that could accommodate but figured I'd look up some info about using the mcx8000 as a controller.

Completely forgot that the mcx unlocks Serato pro so figured I might as well give it a go.

To my surprise I could fire up Serato on my laptop and completely forget about it afterwards as the onboard screens shows the files from Serato.

I then realised you can use stems with the mcx also. I'm honestly blown away with what this device gets you.

A Serato pro licence, 4 channels which can be operated somewhat independent of the laptop screen (I closed the laptop lid once I load up Serato) Stems, the ability to hook up 2turn tables. Option for dvs also. All this for 400 euros. I honestly think it's a massive bargain.

Anyone else agree?

I reckon beginners should give it a try.

Hi there,

I've been out of the Vulfpeck ecosystem for a lil bit and haven't been keeping up to date with their releases however they announced a gig in Dublin and I managed to snag tickets for it. The last time I saw them in Dublin it was basically all the big hits so I'm wondering will I get more of the same (which would be awesome) or do I need to brush up on the newer stuff.

Hi there,

I downloaded David Walliams books for my kid and put it on her Snowsky disk but for some reason they are sped up on playback.

However when I play them back on my phone and laptop they play fine. Any idea how to fix?

So I've seen a video of someone rotating the album art backwards which would rewind the song kinda like a vinyl record. I've updated to 1.86 but its not an option for me.

What am i missing 😄
