Pioneer DJ DJM-V10 a Look at Some of the Effects

0:00 Got some new releases here from CDPool

Alright, got some new releases here from CDPool. These are the global releases, July 2020. Also got this monstrosity here. It's just an absolute beast. It's the DJMV10 6-channel mixer. I personally can't see anyone using 6 channels all the time by themselves unless they're an absolute genius. But to use all six without having to use sync or anything like that is going to be very clever. Okay, so we've got track two here from the Global releases. It's a track entitled Warm Fires. There will be a link in the description to CDPooler. Got a bit of a long delay here. So really, this video is about having a go with the V10 actually. Let's try another track. Okay, let's go to the Beat Chuggers and Kathy, Party People. Just using the roll, put it forward a little bit. Again, the global releases from CDPool, you've got your sort of underground, bassline-y kind of soulful groove, so it's a garage style. Not twisty, bendy, experimental, techie sounds.

1:57 These are more uplifting, vibrant, four-to-the-floor house-feel tunes

These are more uplifting, vibrant, four-to-the-floor house-feel tunes. OK, let's have a look and see what the pitch is like. Again, screen's touch sensitive. OK, let's try something else. Mr Danny J Lewis, I believe also known as Enzyme Black. Right, this one here, Reflex 2020, Danny J Lewis, and it is entitled Spend the Night. I mean, I love this guy. This guy brings out some really good shit. Let's try the low-pass filter. Add a bit of compression. Take the compression away. Just add compression now. What the compression does is it almost over-accentuates the sound. It just gives it more body, really. It's a little bit like going into a pub and someone handing you a Guinness with no head on the top.

You probably just chuck it back at them. You know, if you buy a pint of Guinness, you want that white creamy head at the top. That's what the compression does. It says, here I am, I'm a pint of real Guinness. Give me some. Loving it. Alright.

4:24 What else have we got here?

Nice jazzy, vibey, soulful thing here. It's Danny J, Mr. Enzyme Black. Known this guy for a very long time. Personally met the guy. What a beautiful man. Truly is a fantastic person. Love the guy. Alright. Wouldn't want him to sound like that though. Thinking about it, the pitch effect would be great for your voice but I don't think you'd be using that. Four, one, two, three. That's the final break. Okay, what else have we got here? Ping pong. Ooh, that is sweet. All right, yeah, I'm really taking the piss with these effects at the moment. I'm not using them correctly, but of course, right environment, it's going to sound amazing. Todd Terry, OK. This guy's renowned for his almost... He's got his own style. It is very old-school house, but what Mr Terry does, he still keeps up with the Joneses by giving it the modern-day feel. But when you hear his tunes, you go, yeah, he's an old-school house freak, big time. OK, this one here, Mr Todd Terry Project. Can you dig it?

Original mix. Reverb. Shimmer. That was flanger. Now that worked. That works. Okay, we're going to try one more. Let's have a look. Let's go to... We're going to go to Dwayne Minyard. Okay, Don't Never Change. Let's try this on the club mix.

7:28 Yeah, this sounds like one of those true fall-to-the-floor house cuts

Yeah, this sounds like one of those true fall-to-the-floor house cuts. Just, you know, just like, let's go in a studio, let's get a drum machine, let's not spend years designing the drum beat, let's just make a drum beat and then do some shit. I mean, the V10, there is so much to it. One of the best features I do like about it, which isn't really a feature but is, you've got two headphone sockets. Now that is immense, that's insane. Because basically what you've got here is you've got a true back-to-back DJ mixer. So if you've got two turntables on one side, two on the other, you can have two DJs working their mix. Have a sneaky preview into the other DJ's mix but then go back to theirs without them having to listen to what the other person's doing.

Thanks for watching. Once again, there will be info on CD4 in the description. Bloody hell. Insane. Absolutely insane. I can see a lot of people actually looking at their DJM-900 Nexus Mark II and going, um, eBay. Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
