Trayze Performs With Roland and Serato's DJ-808 Controller, Part 1

[@djsinless]

I can tell he wasn't given enough time to really do his thing on it. He still did far better than anyone they used when they rolled it out and that's a fact. The DJ808 is a dope machine and in the right hands it will be used more like a instrument vs. a controller. #salute Trayze!

[@djtrayze]

thanks!

[@DJAUDIO1]

my dude Trayze kills it on everything.

[@marklin6140]

Wow~super echo skill~ it's so match. Trayze, you are the best. love your djing~ beautiful!!

[@djtrayze]

thanks!

[@mastertracker510]

best dj808 Ive seen yet.screen shots are good,though I'm a virtual dj user,this is dope,keep up!

[@nforbes]

I can't tell you how much you inspired me with this video ... Smh ... #Bangerangerrrrrr

[@revenant7605]

Great work Great work

[@irritablysavvy]

The DJ-808 is probably the most compelling controller I've seen to date. Unfortunately, it's still a controller. I think a lot of us will be staying on DVS with MIDI controllers/mixers for a long time to come.

[@Jedi_Jonson]

erratic_calm exactly! that controller is aimed more towards producers who dabble in djing but for someone like me who's strictly a Turntablist, a high level midi controller and 2 turntables and mixer will always be the preferred setup.

[@RealDealy]

But that is exactly what the dj-808 is, you don't have to use it for production, BUT the option is there. That is a steal to me. I remeber having to buy everything at different times, and spending WAYYYY more money then what the dj-808 is worth. This thing is a blessing!

[@skipdoodoo]

It is DVS compatible though, phono and line pre-amps on channels 1/2.

[@JimLigon]

I hear what you saying. I have a Numark NVII & I like it a lot but my next purchase are 2 Stanton STR8-150 turntables and the Pioneer DJM-S9. I like this video though. I think the Roland DJ-808 is cool & all but it's a little gimmicky in my opinion. I see why people like it but I wouldn't pay money for it. I make my beats using my DAW and I just load them into the NVII and do what I do. It's all good though. Can't wait to put in work on the tables again. I plan on having my DVS setup here before the Spring.

[@Jedi_Jonson]

Jim Ligon that's what's up man I have a pair of Stanton t92s and they are fantastic I think they are just as good/ slighty better than the classic 12s.

[@deejay_logic8775]

ridiculously DOPE!!!

[@Dranomoly]

Great work by Trayze as always but I still don't see why I need 'this' controller over other options.

[@thebachelordj]

Video not available in the UK

[@sihargreaves]

Looks like Trayze is struggling on it and he's better than 99% of Djs

[@Jedi_Jonson]

Forayem as soon he touched the jog wheels his soul felt abit crushed that it wasn't vinyl.

[@DeejayDUBhn]

thats true

[@paulyphonic]

Im guessing he didn't have a ton of time to play with this thing before they made the video. Still......he looks a bit uncomfortable on it for sure. I think we're just used to seeing him kill it on his preferred set-up.

[@djtrayze]

lol - we were having a fewwww tech difficulties, but thanks! :-)

[@djbrucewayne7777]

Try Rekordbox I need your thoughts and opinions as always a big fan

[@IamJuniorMusic]

dope routine

[@DJSmooveK]

Nice!

[@ClectaSkiMusic]

Must say... not his best performance but still good

[@scottloveless5110]

@3:07 or so looks like the touch capacitive platter died... hand still moving like he's trying to scratch track plays on . . .

[@djtrayze]

maybe some video sync issues - also I had the fader down/over cueing scratches. I noticed this too!

[@NICEntertainment]

This happens on my left deck too... can see the track play. As hes manipulating platter. Not his fault. Wish the controller was more reliable

[@TheJerzyslugga]

🔥 🔥 🔥

[@FlipTheCatOfficial]

dude Mr Magoo is going in

[@djtrayze]

oh you got jokes lol

[@StartsWithALetter]

3:55 to finish 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

[@jonathanvillalobos7994]

Trayze what's the verdict?

[@bluemantom77]

nice but i hear the pads are not as responsive as pioneer did you notice that

[@DJKARRI219]

Thomas dj kid solo Carroll they aren't as responsive as pioneer's.They take a little getting used to

[@bluemantom77]

okarri jones i own a pioneer controler

[@DJKARRI219]

Thomas dj kid solo Carroll same here

[@DJDSTRUKT]

You can adjust the sensitivity of each of the pads within the 808's system settings.

[@erckmixx]

2:25 Shhhhiiiitttt

[@M0schin00]

This dude dont play no games!

[@vindiesel2997]

He looked very unimpressed like he wasn't having fun

[@irritablysavvy]

When you're used to DJing on DVS (vinyl) and then you get stuck with a controller using Sync, it takes a lot of the fun out of it all.

[@beesting6135]

Lackluster

[@P4boot]

So this happens to almighty Trayze too? @3:59 I always forget to turn off the echo before scratching in next song! But the resulting unexpected result doesn't sound bad either..
