hey y´all,finally i had a chance to record a little spontanious videomix using one old numark turntable, a bcd3000 and a nanopad all together with VDJ. Actually i try to get into controllerism, but thistime i mostly concentrated on a fluid mix with video effects. This is what i usually do with audio only, but now i got into videos… like a next step of evolution for me
I hope you will enjoy this little taste of what i do, if you do please rate or leave a comment or spread it to the world…
Tracklist:
1.Beatstreet Intro
2.Eric B. & Rakim - paid in full
3.White Stripes - ring my doorbell
4.special Ed - i got it made
5.rakim - international known
6.Ice Cube - You can do it
7.Cypress Hill - Insane in the membrain
8.Michael Jackson - Billie Jean
9.Lisa Lisa - take you home
10.Beatstreet breakdances
11.Michael Jackson - Beat it
12.The Offspring - pretty fly for a white guy
thanks y´all,

i dont know for sure if youtube is the reason, as this is the first time i did record and upload a video to youtube. It could be that i made some mistakes during the upload process…idk. But now it is so that the video is like a half second off beat.Sad but true.The original file has been .avi, with no miss-matching at all. I formated it into .flv because off the data-size.Still no miss-matching. And then on youtube it starts to drift apart…
But i dont care sooo much, as this is the first time i gone through this whole process, and im glad that the outcome is as good as it is, in my eyes
Besides the off-beat video, how do y´all like the video?
Not bad for your first attempt. Dunno how crazy I am about the video transitions, but I don’t have any expertise in that department to offer good constructive criticism.
I noticed that there were some transitions where there’s just a beat for a while…like between White Stripes / Special Ed. When I hear something like that I think live ‘Mixshows’ where DJ’s play a beat so someone can talk over it…ya know?
The parts where´s just a beat is like introductions to special parts of the mix i wanted to kind of highlight, like white stripes/special ed, the beatpart is the intro the the beatjuggle i did during special ed. Also the beatpart at the end when MJ goes over to offspring, the beatpart is kinda intro the the “mash”
If it whould´nt be a one-take, i surely whould have added some scratches and voice-cuts over the beatparts as i do when i record audio only.
But please keep in mind that at the beatparts, theres always two tracks playing at once, also at the breakdance-parts.
