Ty: Everybody, this is DJ Ty from agiprodj.com here at NAMM 2009 in the pioneer booth with DJ Jay. He is going to give us a quick look at the DJM-800 system running with DVJs, pretty cool stuff.
Jay: All right, I have already showed the DJM-1000 and the SVM-1000 doing the video. This time, I am using a DJM-800 mixer with a video switcher. This is the VSW-1, actually allows me to switch video content. Do whatever I want and can set it out to auto let it interface.
This fully digital mixer, it is incredible. It got four effects right here and they are called the color effects. They are engaged and used right here by these knobs so I can actually run two sets of effects. I got all the effects in the 600 and 700 and then it come with this big display up here showing me what effects I am using, where I am using them, what my parameter is, automatic beat counter if you need to have your bpm. You need them to fly a quick check, it is right there. Then I can set up where I want to go. The border line, to the line, one to one beats; however, I want to set that up.
For our mobile guys, incredible talk over feature on this; once it blinks then it is on. It keeps playing the music with the same volume until you start to speak into the mic. Once you speak, volume drops, 20 decibels on the meters and it keeps playing so you do not have any dead space. You have to go across the dance floor or something and talk just like the 400 and 700; an incredible digital talk over feature, 20 decibel down.
You got four channels. You got best the fader on the market as far as scratching goes in one of the pioneer mixers. Then again, this color effects—harmonic give you that option mixed by key. You will notice these lights are now red. It is actually looking for the key of the song. Anytime this is blinking—once this turns and I turn it over to the right and I get green, I am not changing the key. The best way to look at this is a master tempo allows you to lock the vocals and speed the music up or down so you do not get that chipmunk or really low vocal. What this does is the exact opposite and holds the music that allows you to change the vocals so you can change the key in half a step, up a step. If you are doing harmonic mix which is awesome, if you are using a software program that shows you, you actually can incorporate with this mixer. And again, since I am running video, even though it is not a video mixer, it is just an audio mixer; it is because the video from my DVJ-1000 is going over to my switcher box.
You can do it manually. Get on trigger like this to one of the sets or do it automatically then you will run it out from cross fader Great mixer, digital, lead mixer here of Pioneer is DJM-800. Use it with the VSW switcher 1 and match your DVJ-1000’s pioneer for VJ.
