DJ Shiftee - Traktor Scratch Pro Demo

[@rocstarskinnyjeans]

Dj Shiftee is the reason why I dj 🙏🏾

[@FrOsTyBeArKiD]

probably my favorite demo you've done for TSP...and you barely used many DVS features. Most of that was straight stratching and beat juggling. EXCELLENT ending song!

[@JustinH95]

Holy crap... That looper thing... Genius.

[@deejayshiftee]

Yes, it actually has broadcasting built right into the program. Really excellent actually.

[@Peakrow]

DJ Shiftee is by far my favourite DJ ever

[@djchuckieb]

3:35... That's where real djing lives, it's about enjoying the music I love to scratch and juggle and I play ALL the DMC finals constantly, my girl hates that stuff only true hip hop heads even understand the first 3:35 Thanks Shifter for putting us all down!

[@Bourbon404]

3:07 and on is just plain FUNKY! DAMN! I've wanted to try dj-ing but don't have any money, but this has made me want to try more than ever!

[@DJKNITEX]

I keep watching this like all the time... inspiration right here yo!

[@zerogroup89]

DJ Shiftee you rock man congrats on winning the DMC this year!!!

[@t3chnicallyinsan3]

you got a nice pad man. i love the step ladder to the upstairs thingy

[@deejayshiftee]

A teen can definitely do this. I started DJing when I was 13, and started battling when I was 15. Just practice alone in a room for a while. When you start to improve, invite others into the room for further progress.

[@deejayshiftee]

Thanks for the kind words. So far so good with Traktor!

[@that1guy60]

That was great mixing and dancing!!!

[@lllaaalllKcK]

Qui non ci sono parole per definire il video !!! E solamente FANTASTICO!! E poi sia la classe che la musica le tracce scratch sono VERY GOOD!!! ciao.

[@deejayshiftee]

Yo Neil! I actually graduated in June. I'm now living in NYC, spinning, and teaching at your old home DubSpot.

[@deejayshiftee]

For the portable side of the spectrum, I like the FaderFox series and the Korg Nano Series. The Allen and Heath controllers are a little bigger, but very cool. Maschine is also fresh to death.

[@MarvinBoydCo]

yes as long as they are mp3 format they should work. some programs allow other file types but just to be safe make sure they are in mp3 format

[@deejayshiftee]

Plug it in before you open the program. Make sure it is active in your preferences after the program is open. You might have to "add a generic midi" controller. Then start mapping from there. Pick a function, click "learn", then hit the button you want to control the function you are assigning. I don't really use traktor dj studio 3, just scratch pro, so I'm not sure about the interface, but the above should help.

[@deejayshiftee]

I'm going to be in Utrecht June 20th performing at RofFest!

[@AlexandreMendesVideos]

Hi dude! You are a master! WOW! Congrats! I'm writing from Brazil and I have just bought my M5Gs. Currently I'm trying to find a Tracktor Scratch Pro and I would like to know which Ortofon Cartridge do you recomend for me? Is the DIGITRACK a good choice? I'm going to use my equipments firstly to mix songs, especially flash backs and I will start to learn some performace as you did. Thanks for your attention man! See you!

[@PushMoreButtons]

hey there i just started using traktor scratch pro. I was wondering if your bpm counter jumps a round a little bit, mine does. Only slightly. But I mix electro and i like to do live mashups so those slight incriments add up over a couple of seconds

[@Rambusto]

you are my new favorite dj sir! awesome work and i dig the silly personality! 2 thumbs up

[@Steady99]

that screams me cause I've never had any one to date to scratch with, it's horrible, just so damn hard to keep going, but 10 years under my belt, tried my first dmc may 29th in Texas, oh ya got worked needle went flying but I learned alot and got to finally meet other dj's, had a blast. Hella dig your style brotha, peace

[@djneilarmstrong]

good stuff shiftee... Arre u still up at school or did u take a break from that?

[@14w1ski113d]

I really need to know the song beginning at half that you dance to... or rather the song that you do random crazy shit to =) sounds so familiar but i cant quite figure it out. oh and how did you do the intro to that? great clip anyways. love your tutorials and showcases.

[@truesouljs]

@TheDJT124 Hi that song is called "Apache" & it's by the Incredible Bongo Band. Peace.

[@laserimport]

man keep up the good work! #1 fan!! got any tips for someone thats just starting out?

[@ACOBBOCA24]

That's sick......I'm 16 and I would like to dj. What would be the best stuff for a beginner to start with?

[@deejayshiftee]

@smashcorefilms Glad you enjoyed! I used a program called "Lips" for the vocal sample.

[@HouseJunk1e]

that was pretty effin awesome! Im saving up for traktor scratch pro but im not a turntablist; im more of a club dj, use beatmatching n' such. would you say traktor is honestly worth the 500 dollars?? the main reason im looking into buying it is the organization of all my music in 1 folder and easily found rather than looking thru a huge folder. help me out? tell me your opinion! =D serato or traktor? worth 500 buks?

[@jlcool007]

what effect did you use to convert your voice to that synthesized computer? the only reason i ask that stupid question is because youre so FREAKIN AWESOME, IM SPEACHLESS haha awesome turntablism man!

[@supersanj23]

hey shiftee, keep up the good work . i really look up to you man!

[@MrTewhare]

damn you're good! when you started out how often did you practice in a day?

[@Bunechunk]

So you started on regular vinyl decks right? How long after that did you make the switch to Traktor/controllerism and how long did it take you to get proficient with that?

[@MrReaxtion]

Seriously the the weirdest quirkiest DJ on the planet. Oh how I wish I knew you personally Shiftee. Would probably be the sweetest buddy lol.

[@fredomeireles]

The fastest way to scratch any sound you want almost instantly handling a vinyl record!! By what I see here, the latency seems to be no problem to you ;) Good show man!

[@mardogz]

Sir Shiftee, you b the shiznitz! I just want to say you have thrilled me! I have, within the last 2-3 years gotten my TT setup together.... basically, everything you're using here!! It's comforting to see you praise Traktor - you use it well! Shift, I have a large MP3 collection (plus an increasing amount of my own material mixed down to MP3). Is there a half-#ss way to get them all formatted with BPMs at least? I know you would have to set you CPs manually, but... PEACE OUT, FUNKY FRESHHHHHH!!

[@deejayshiftee]

Thank you popadukes. I used a program called Lips for the intro.

[@JoeyHeartthrob]

and you use the korg nano pad like me!! its like me and my hero like the same things, how did you do the glitch / pitch change at 3:08 to 3:35?

[@ganyadus]

How long does it take to get at least decent at this with say COMPLETE dedication..Im talking like 1-3 hours a day and i mean i can pick up things fairly quickly and What equipment would be needed?

[@Garbagemancool]

@Harrison123100 well i have a 56s and it bomb and the faders rock but idk much about the 909 except the fact that it has some built in effects that make it very good for mixing+scratching

[@deejayshiftee]

@lildude202 @GabrielSillerCruz Yup, Technics. One on the left is m5g, one on the right is an older model.

[@twizzle1919]

What would you recommend starting out to dj, like controllerism with a midi or straight to the tables.

[@ipwndeatheaters]

What version of Apache is that at the end? It's awesome

[@popadukes12]

yo DJ shiftee, your intro was sick what program did u use to make that ? 1:05

[@seanedwards_]

my respect for you can't get any higher now after seeing you sing tainted love haha!

[@cacophony1]

whats your word on the people who consider traktor cheating? i use traktor mainly just for sets and not scratching, (because im cheap and use a midi controller) , what do you see as the advantage or traktor / serato setups nowadays. cheers jc

[@sebasworlds]

very nice! only have 1 question, what is the name of the final song?

[@jayrave4]

You know what, after I saw Kentaro absolutely smash the 2001 & 2002 DMCs I thought I'd seen it all... then this man comes along - on top of your fucking game son

[@aiman1385]

yo shiftee! how do u mark your digital vynil? like when u want to juggle u need the stickers to point at 12 o'clock. where do u put the stickers? at the groove where the vynil reads the mp3?? pls help!

[@djbis]

@TheBluepulse watch carefully. He taps the start/stop with his thumb once on his way to the fader and once on the way back. Speed and camera angle make it look as if he did not. Fast hands!

[@Lakers4life714]

hey shiftee i got a question, do you think someone whos 25 years old that stared djing kinda of late but knew he wanted to do this along time ago just never had the money could ever turn pro. i work construction got a family and all dj gear is expensive, right now cant even afford traktor, which i wish i had. But what do you think about starting late and do you know anyone who started around my age and made it big. Would love feedback, thank you.

[@deejayshiftee]

Go to the "Move" section and use the "Fine" or "xFine" settings.

[@obshaky]

@twizzle1919 Why not both? A traktor S4 and some Technics with DVS when the update arrives April 2011. Check it out and the native instruments website.

[@frechegesellschaft]

hey dj shiftee what do you think about mixvibes?

[@xamphoa]

Good work sir.

[@HouseJunk1e]

@Robot0Ninja yeah im on a money constraint and serato is about an extra 100 or 200. but you didnt say whichone i should buy i think you left it out by accident. lol "buy since you spin instead of scratch". buy what? lol. im guessing you said serato though. and yeah ive seen the qbert video but im planning on connecting my cdj 400s to traktor and also cuz it has 4 players and im really into tech house & minimal so 4 players would be awesome esp. with the perfect loop settings dont u think?

[@jord4nsounds]

@deejayshiftee what would u recommend for a beginner dj who wants to do house(if that matters) denon s700 and an a&h mixer or a mixer/turntable package sorry im clueless

[@deejayshiftee]

Thanks! The first song is "88" by The Cool Kids.

[@RobertoIngram1]

Hello Dj Shiftee, I am a electronic music dj/producer and new at using Maschine/Traktor/Kontrol x1 together. Could you please post a step by step video on how to eliminate midi glitches, when using Maschine and kontrol 1 together? And how you created your macros and 3rd deck assignments to both hardware controllers? Thanks so much!!

[@emkplayboy6]

dj shiftee is that the rane ttm57sl or 56? Which do you think is better shiftee serato scratch or traktor stupid question i know but still ill ask lol

[@michael919sa]

Nice work Dude ........ From Australia

[@stefanmplayer]

well i guess if you´re into producing you could use the audio 8 soundcard for spinning with tractor ass wel as conecting other aplications to your pc and this one is very handy because of its 4 deck option

[@dieselboy60]

@deejayshiftee what gear would you recommend to a beginner? NI or otherwise?

[@rakkfatha]

this guy has some serious talent

[@JJMODE87]

buenisimo!!!! felicitaciones!!!

[@emkplayboy6]

k k hey so is traktor better if you're more into recording and producing your stuff?

[@Blizzard4242]

Where did you get the voice in the beginning from?

[@deejayshiftee]

@DJTruthKassel I don't think I've ever broken a Rane fader.

[@dsandwhich00]

Do you know if I can use just one of the time-coded disks without the traktor software running but use the interface as a midi controller for Reaktor 5? Traktor opens up some pretty awesome doors, but I try to keep everything in reaktor>outboard mixer. I'm not a dj, per se, I prefer synths,

[@finchiiiii]

for a starter ...a total amateur ( and not having to much money :D) ..which system is the best ...what would you propose to chose ?! greetings from germany :)

[@munk6969]

you wouldnt think he was a dj just by looking at him, goes to show you shouldnt go of looks. awesome vid and great demo

[@Bourbon404]

@SkateKid00009 That song is "Tainted Love" by Soft Cell, big 80s hit

[@-djSRK]

what songs/samples did you use in this shiftee?

[@elmigster2331]

whats that control you used for the key change and to shorten the loop.

[@DJAlexAz]

I know djing is cool but besides that. Has your life changed money wise sense you've won DMc? Is there big money to be made or just change? Thanks. Good luck Dec 4 shift.

[@Robot0Ninja]

@HouseJunk1e it has beat matching technology in the software. same with serato. buy since u spin instead of scratch i would go with serato because songs are lined up next to eachother vertically. but if u scratch traktor has more of a vinyl sound as is a little more acurate in tracking. but if u dont wanna spend 500 go with torq, its good for spinning too. hope this helps. p.s. dj qbert has a comparison video of traktor scratch pro and serato scratch live, check it out

[@Siinzx0]

yo shiftee wat turntables do you use, whaat could you tell me as a beginner on how to start djing?

[@NicenEasyuk]

@MrDashCZ I'll look it up! I love that kind of funky hiphop

[@DannyRayOriente]

Voice in the intro need to know how what that is. Please respond. Thanks

[@repo136]

@NicenEasyuk It's the ultimate hip hop break beat, Apache. This is what DJ Kool Herc pioneered with back in the 1970's. This beat IS hip hop!!

[@azepzz]

Any 1 know where Ican get the instrumental of 88 by the cool kids (song shiftee used)? Thanks

[@dja2u]

wat is that white sound pad, that you use at 2:56 called?

[@toastedyoyos]

how do you make that robot sounding sound drop he put in the beginning?

[@SlammaJammer23]

@SoundProofProd Yes!! Best thing ever

[@MatthewFalcon73]

JEE-ZUS CHRISTAA ! ! ! inspirational, really, when my frien ask me why i bought my turntables while all of them were buying guitars, all i said, was.... DJ Shiftee

[@officialNAWFY]

how did u get traktors loop to go beyond the 1/32 loop?

[@deejayshiftee]

Yes, currently in the process of switching over my playlists, cue points, etc.

[@DJ1372]

[@spinviperus]

yo is that a dell inspiron 640m/1405 that ur running traktor on?

[@stratzmusic]

I love how they show his 2007 title, and this video was uploaded on March 18th, and in August he took that years title. he didnt even know at the time. Just keep poring the salt, that seemed to do the trick.

[@finchiiiii]

for a starter ...a total amateur ( and not having to much money :D) ..which system is the best ...what would you propose to chose?! :) grats from germany :)

[@MarvinBoydCo]

[@MusSck]
