Contents of the video

Alright folks, Jonathan here. This one here is the prize for the August 10-min mix and I want one but sadly I've got to give this one away. I've been messing around a little bit and by the way what you're about to hear now is audio through a little speaker over there so it's not directly into the camera. So we'll give it a bit of a jig around and bearing in mind we're utilising this guy here, DJM400, and we're also utilising this guy here, the CDJ200. Now bearing in mind both of them have got effects. But what happens when you put the effects together? I'll give you a little bit of a demonstration. Here we go. Basically, if you think about it quite logically, this particular CD player, I mean, alright, we're talking about this guy here, it's the CDJ-200, but at the end of the day, I mean, if you think about it logically, if you've got a CD player, any CD player with effects, and then you've got a mixer as well with effects, well bingo, you can actually add and mess around all the effects.

On your CDJ. And let's say, for example, you've got three effects on a mixer. Well that's three and three is six. Well it isn't actually because you can use one with one, you can use one with two and one with three. But then you can use two with one, two with two, two with three. And then you can use three with one, three with... So that's, was it nine or something like that? But anyway, you can just mess around and have lots of fun. And I'm actually, I had this today. I plugged it in and I gave it a bit of a demo quickly to show you the actual prize. Then we've just been out to the cinema, watched The Simpsons, I've come back, I've had a tin of beer and I've spent five minutes having a laugh with this and I'll tell you what, I want one. It's bloody good, alright? Don't forget, practice and enjoy and thank you for watching.
