*HELP* DJM 800 to iPod

[JBanga]

Hey everyone, got a new DJM 800 and am still saving for my decks. I want to have a little play around (not a mix) with my iPod and or computer.

I have bought a RCA-3.5mm cable and connected it to the mixer. I am VERY new so no harsh or rude comments please. I just want to get SOME sound through my new mixer and play around with the effects.

Photos of how to do this would be GREAT but instructions are just as good.

Thanks

JB

Plug the audio jack into the ipod (or sound card), and the red and white into a line input on the back of the mixer. Any channel, it doesn't matter

thats it.... might have to adjust the volume on your ipod first though

[Bumpy]

plug the 3.5mm side into the ipod, plug the RCA into the any of the CD or Line inputs. Make sure that channel is switched to CD or phono, depending on which channel you plugged it into.

Turn mixer on, play song, turn master up, turn gains so input level (lights on the channel) is hitting no higher the 0. turn channel volume up.

this is why i am starting to tire of this place.

i do not understand how one can purchase such a mixer but yet they cannot even get they're ipod to play through it?

[slackas]

for the price of a 800 could have bought a cheap TT pack and a bit of vinyl

first mix, scared as shit! halp!!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ahh shit! so im playing in bedroom for the first time this weekend, its and ipod decks event.
stressing out and thinking about bailing
any last second advice to over come the nerves, been bedroom bonging for too long and need to suck it up.

who's had really bad experiences for their 3.5mm plug, or even better really good ones? i definatly need some information to get music from the the mixer!

[esseeayen]

been bedroom bonging for too long!

now there's your problem ;)

dude just chill what is an ipod decks event? just plug your ipod in and play your tunes isnt it? they can't honestly expect you to mix on ipods with no tempo adjust or pitch bend!

But good luck anyways man!

[Tha Gooch]

wow...just wow

[mainform]

holy shit why do people drop so much cash on gear without knowing how it works :meh:
totally stumps me as to why anyone would buy an $1800 mixer without understanding how it works on a basic level, surely it's not actually your mixer and you're just borrowing it??

[maaaa]

just keep plugging it into every hole until sounds come out

[KuRuPTeD]

^^ thats what she said!


*i'll let my self out :)

s'ok, i'll pay that.

[slackas]

Which hole do i plug my foxtel into?

I want to hear the tv while im mixing, but i dont want it to come out the master?

I cant see foxtel written on the mixer anywhere?

Haha, Give the guy a break.

Now is the best time to buy any peice of equipment due to the Aussie $$$.

I would have done the same if I where him.

Actually, I would have bought some cheap ass decks and mixer first like I did 7 years ago.
:whyioughtta:

[slackas]

How does the aussie dollar where it currently is, make it easier to buy equipment?

seriously its at 67 cents at the moment, therefore increasing the cost to import.

[Dee Jay Mikey]

two months ago the Aussie dollar was almost on par with the US dolllar.

At the moment its around 65 cents to the Us dollar. Get it? US dollar is the benchmark for importing goods. If it was costing us $1 to buy 98 US cents its almost the same (CDJ 1000's for $1280) however, no for $1 we only get 65 US cents.

After the last shipment of goods are out of circulation, expect to pay around $2100 for a DJM 800

[slackas]

Yea im catching you, last chance before it catches up to the falling dollar :)

[Dee Jay Mikey]

You need to understand the lag.

pioneer australia purchased stock two months ago for example at 97cents etc.

That stock may take a month to dispatch and another month to get here on a boat.

[Dee Jay Mikey]

Excatly! :hooray:

[RudeTed]

Haha ive just realised how shit we are as a forum. guys, we have to realise that not everyone knows as much as we do :LOL:

Yeah I did that, its all sweet now, I forgot to adjust the trim :S memory blank.

Thanks for all your lovely comments everyone!
Hope you start something new like absailing,
only you forget to hook your rope up ;)

[slackas]

Hope you learn how to mix... without turntables

eBay search it mate, I picked up a DJM 800 for $1500AUD off eBay when they're about $2,500AUD in the US

That fact you got it off ebay doesnt have anything to do with my question. Have fun if your mixer breaks and you cant get it serviced/fixed.

Well I bought it from DJ Warehouse's eBay account, so yeah, I have warrenty buddy.

[pomrocks]

DJM800 = expensive way to get effects for your ipod.....

[pomrocks]

What?? You've never been to an ipod decks event? Dude you are missing out! If you haven't had a mix on your ipod you seriously haven't looked into the full potential of the mighty whitey. There is a manufacturer code you can enter which unlocks a lot of features INCLUDING tempo adjust and pitch bending by using the jog wheel on the ipod.. why else do you think it is there? Just to adjust the volume and select tracks? :lol: Sure its not as exciting as using vinyl or CDJs but that's where the skill comes in - plus get a wireless connection and you can DJ from anywhere in the club.

[Papanikolas]

^^ hey dude i tried to enter that code, but 'm only getting +/-12% pitch range on my iPod. How do i change it to +/-6% - otherwise i can't killer beatmatch properly. Thanks.

[Bumpy]

haven't looked into the full potential of the mighty whitey.

My iPods black.. does that mean that it's not mighty?:~(

[Dee Jay Mikey]

<--- still has a half gig white apple shuffle

[mcdoofus]

My iPods black.. does that mean that it's not mighty?:~(

Yeah man you got the wacky blacky.. time to upgrade son.

Papanikolas - Yeah bro its been scientifically proven that its impossible to beatmatch at +/-12% I'm not surprised you're having trouble killer beatmatching. PM me for the real code.
