[@djwise4u]

i truly enjoyed watching you rock the vci DeezNotes.

[@GILLYHOM]

that was beautiful and an awesome ending showing humbleness...loved it!!!!

[@mrsouthpaw14]

crispy cuts man!! I use a Numark N4 so I know it can be tough to juggle like that.. You're motivating to get my skills tighter for sure!

[@krewcialofficial]

great beats choice and dj work !

[@funkyboodah]

dude this is simply DIRTY. Thanks this is an inspiration to all who have a VCI 300 and wonder if perhaps it wasn't as good as turntables

[@priyonjoni]

very good use of modern technology to its fullest potential. I respect that. Unlike many people who use technology as a crutch for convenience.

[@DJPros]

dope man!! its like a flashback from back in the days!! classic song!!....and perfect cuttn and flippn!! i have an ns7 and just purchased a vci-300 and was a little disappointed when testing it out, but after watching this you motivated me to practice on it!!

[@Bavubuka]

Brilliant brilliant! I particularly loved the end sample. Very funny. Well done. Keep up the good work. P

[@HashMagician]

My man you are a bad boy! Great skills

[@Heyyy_Jude]

I was looking at a VCI 300, and your video answered all question. Thanks, you got skills!

[@Gordzilla88]

you sold me. had the setup under the VCI, now have a 300. Thanks for keeping it real.

[@Skratchworx]

Outstanding work again Deez. All respect to the VCI, but it does prove that it's all about skills and you have them big time. I hope people can watch this and finally understand that rocking a crowd doesn't need full size turntables with vinyl. Good work Deez as ever!

[@aaroninky]

insane video, ive spent the last 3 days straight on youtube trying to decide whether to get the vci-300 or the vci-100 (for mainly mix dj'ing)... and this definitely one of the best videos ive seen, even for a non-turntablist!

[@mixxedjustright]

My man you're incredible... Much respect...

[@djfrizel1]

Great mix man you definitely rocked it. While I'm a big fan of traditional setups i can now see myself using the vci300 for mobile gigs as i wouldn't have to carry my heavy equipment(turntables,mixer,cases) and i would be able to cut down on setup time... props!!!!

[@mick0880]

Yo...that was a dope ass set! I can't wait to get where you're at.

[@karsumm]

man, this is so good... very nice trippy session!

[@DeezNotes]

Thanks! You can reverse the fader. It has a longer cut-in than the Rane mixer, but I think it's the same as other Vestax mixers. Nice resistance on the faders too. The upfaders are the long ones and they also have a cut/curve adjust.

[@GeneralTarik]

Nice work son. You're the first person I have seen really tearing it up on this thing. I'm contemplating getting this or the NS7. Seeing this video has me leaning to the VCI 300. Vestax should put you on the payroll. One Love!

[@ThePhatalDJ]

Madd props & respect Deez! Love the true hip-hop! Dunno if I can beat those skillz, but imma give this PSSL contest a shot too. If I don't get it together in time, I hope they pick you hands down son.

[@AKhan360]

dope man, im learning how to scratch on a vci 300 i copped, im gonna be studying this vid for a minute

[@gimmemyish]

props homie. continuing doin ur thang. impressed . i have a vci 300 and wish i could do that . props.

[@project_esc]

nice selection and you killed it on that lil thing! lol.. I'm gettin the itch for the itch now.

[@engin3ar]

this is the best commercial for the VCI that they could ever make.

[@cuper06]

Buen sonido y buen control de la mesa. Yo también la tengo, ahora solo me falta tu experiencia. saludos desde España!!

[@aliboy123]

That was incredibly dope. I'm good friends with the Beat Junkies and an overall fan of trick mixing. You rocked that set! I'm sure it's 100x tougher to do it on the VCI! Nice work!

[@aliboy123]

Your juggles are amazing. Very clean and precise. If possible I was wondering if you can do a quick tutorial on how to do a certain breakdown. on 5:34 to 5:44. J-Rocc breaksdown the the beat but i'm confused on where he's catching it and letting it go. Like he's pausing it every 1/2 count. Can you please explain how this is done? Thanks.

[@CorbyK]

like dat phasing bro... much respect and musical love from the UK

[@18punto10]

Nice work man! Stop hatin'... We already know ya'all are the best!

[@amadriaga]

...and your juggling is tight dude! Keep it up!

[@wakeinthecity9]

siiick old school sound... i want one now

[@oceanvice]

love the music selection...exactly what I will be mixing...

[@DeezNotes]

Appreciated dude. Not dissin any other DJs... but I'm glad someone gets it.

[@c6rocklee6c]

(same poster as khmaistine... i used a friends account to ask last time). Ya thats what i thought.. but i just recently stumbled to a great deal on some sounds... nothing an xlr to RCA adapter won't fix!!! thanks for the info though... and good scratchin man.. i look forward to getting my vci-300 on friday

[@junit28]

awesome! i can't believe u can do all that with just one little unit!

[@DeezNotes]

It's a sturdy piece of equipment. The headphone volume and master output is kinda low, but it does the job nicely for a small package. Check the forum for more feedback from peeps.

[@antmayfield]

I could listen to you rip it up all day I'm gunna hire you to bump beats while I just lay back and take long hauls off a J and just vibe with the tracks

[@DeezNotes]

I used the headphones and the waveforms on the screen for some parts. Once you get your mark, you can go by ear and touch. None of these controllers have accurate markers, so its hard to sound clean like vinyl.

[@DeezNotes]

@ques75 It's a Macbook. It handles latency pretty good, but I usually set the buffer up a notch or two when im gigging just to be safe.

[@IntelInside2020]

damn strobin on vci 300-that must be hella hard because #1 you have to use the cue point on a computer screen rather than using you cue tape on a record #2 the platter is 3 inches in diameter and isn't motorized! Good work man! Once again, I hope rane is sponsoring you!!

[@MusikaHouse]

Yooo Bro Love That 4:05 ! Keep Up The Wicked Beats.

[@CeazeThaBeast]

Damn homie! U got that trick mixing on lock!

[@GregoryGuerrier]

YOOOO!!! You FkN CrusHed it. diggin the face plate you put on the mixer

[@DeezNotes]

Yes, they can also go on the far right or far left. I put mine on the far right. You can kinda see it in the Remix Hotel NYC clip.

[@djjfresco]

yo man, really, really fresh. i think your video is going to make me go out an get this unit.

[@motion1169]

My dude, You did your thing on that shit...I'm gald someone is showin some skills..

[@DeezNotes]

He did something similar with Rhyme Mania at some conference or something, but I hit the record button in the middle of a set which just so happened to be while I was playing Rhyme Mania. Maybe if I started the video a little later it wouldn't appear to be a "bite" but I guess 2 different DJs can't play the same songs in a similar style? This is just basic trick mixing, which is something I learned before i heard of the term.

[@allhiphopallthetime]

thanks bro, if you are familar with the vci 100, which would you recommend for the beginning dj the 100 or the 300? thanks, peace.

[@djpeteyc]

Great job man.

[@DJKenScan]

Nice work in the VCI-300 pretty turntablistic....Everytime i see someone complain about the unit I will send them here to watch and listen. Peace

[@DJSoundwave1]

Vestax and Serato need to cut you a check for this video homie. This video sold me on buying my VCI-300.

[@djjesone]

sounded great but the needle keep skipping...lol great video an mixing helping me make my mind up on this toy:)

[@myzticman]

Can you give me the name of a couple of those tracks? Really nice music.

[@Racerjen1]

great scratch but why did you buy the vestax when you already have turntables

[@djcrumbz]

Yo Deez.. Good shit. Wondering if you still have it? Come in handy for quick gigz? Recommend it to Old Schoolers (trying to save some years on their back from carrying 1200's)?

[@DeezNotes]

Thanks dude! Your comment means a lot. Seriously.

[@donalconway]

@Bunechunk It's Slum Village - Fall in Love. Then Pharcyde - Runnin starts to mix in

[@chooby3000]

yeh i agree! jus a thought u considered the xponent?? i got one an loved it!!!.....till it broke (it was in my car wen i had a smash up not a design fault), its bein replaced as we speak. i use mine mainly for mixin too, got sum tt500's for turntablism

[@paposwing25]

Fresh Set. I have a question, Where did you get the slip mats for the turntables? Those look dope.

[@gr8luey]

tight mix!!! uh where did u get the place mats on your 1-2s...thanks

[@trinthakias]

sick shit ! loved the ending aha

[@DeezNotes]

Thanks! Good luck on it. I'm not really pushing the video, so I'm sure u can get mad hits and win if you promote it well!!

[@SlyFoxMcNeil]

I have a TTM57sl and am thinking bout getting a vci itch for easier mobile use, this vid- while excellent- ain't gonna help me decide to buy it cos deez has got the skillz and could make a grammaphone sound good.

[@NeilDnb]

Is it possible to quickly skip to a part of a track using a controller on the device, in a similar way that a FF button or needle drop feature works, for cueing a point on the fly towards the end/middle of a tune?

[@hollywoodthedj1673]

Dope Shit Brother Salute I May Try And Find A VCI For Those Small Quick Situations & Party's!💯

[@bredsndwch]

good stuff homie. i don't compliment many people but i enjoyed that.

[@markutz]

Dope! Been glued to this vid for ages and finally bought one... Having a few problems with it, so gonna get it replaced as love the potential of it. How long did it take you to get juggle confident on this, as it feels totally diff to turns, and I'm finding simple juggles a bit hard!

[@shervio]

very nice transitioning bro.. keep up the the good work. -also if u can message me the music u were using?.. sounds like Tribe but it prob isn't.. thanks man cheers.

[@DeezNotes]

It is what it is. It isn't a replacement for turntables, but you can def scratch, mix and blend from one song to the next. Its mad compact and comes in handy for gigs with no space or low budgets. Latency depends on your computer. You def can't use a punk ass computer.. peep the Serato site for the specs u need.

[@toddlarboy]

Serious beat juggling! Sweet

[@DeezNotes]

Thanks! Be safe over there man!

[@Khmaistine]

question... i can use the audio from my computers sound card correct... or no? i have my computer set up to a home theatre receiver.. and i'd like to keep it that way

[@m0redave]

It's a loop he made. If you listen @5:52, you'll hear the loop play on one side for a few seconds. When I first heard that, I went crazy cause it sounds so dope and I never heard anyone do that with that song. But it's because it's a custom loop. If anyone else is wondering what we're talking about, it's 5:34 on this video: watch?v=Nf76GXp3OFA

[@spinmoney101]

your rockin that like no other!

[@m0redave]

I don't use the VCI 300 any more, but when I did I would use a latency of 1 or 2 at home and 3 or 4 at gigs.

[@DeezNotes]

Not really sure. I've always had at least one turntable since I was like 5 I think?

[@allhiphopallthetime]

how much does the latency of the vci 300 effect you and would you recommend the vci 300? thanks in adavance, dope vid too, peace...

[@Schmausil]

really sweet sound. propably gonna get me one of those some time now :D

[@SunnyLicious]

great work rippin the VCI

[@sunnybeatzproduction]

Hello there, i would like to ask sth, im a newbie in turntable and i've got this for just few days , wanna know can i export the work i made as a mp3 file in ITCH..? and how to export a track and save it? thz for answering!

[@Traclfeen]

deeez.... i need those slipmats....lol keep up the good work..

[@emviper1]

dope im in love with the vci-300!

[@dusneed]

Can you use the VCI as a sound card? Like could I use Serato with my regular setup or do I have to spend the 900 on this and still keep my Serato box? I tend to use TS out alot, but I would love to travel light with the VCI 300, but still have the ability to hook up to regular TTs.

[@johnjoerice]

You should be a sales man for Vestax, quality stuff!!!

[@da_committee]

Can you use your computer's audio out for your speakers or do you have to use the mixer's Master out?

[@camortiz]

SICK BEATS MAD SKILLZ uha!

[@DeezNotes]

audio is okay. not as powerful as some other sources, but it sounds alright. i dont use the adapter.

[@Bunechunk]

What's the difference between a VCI-300 and a Pioneer CDJ-400? Which is more preferable in a club setting?

[@DeezNotes]

There's a record button in the program. The manual should tell you how to work it.

[@DeezNotes]

There's a full track listing in one of my earlier comments.

[@DeezNotes]

it depends. use the right tool for the job.

[@djbigsmooth]

rockin't that rhymemania '99 like j rocc. well done.

[@MikeChuidian]

You fresh, homie....Respect.

[@aliboy123]

It's also done on 2:35 - 2:42 of this watch?v=hJAY6q3FYs4&feature=related What count is he catching and letting go? Does he pull it back on every 1/2 beat?

[@MadWlad]

haha, wish you could come to my town and be the dj of all clubs here...damn shit is crazyyy probzz outta germany ;)

[@sircedric5]
