Ditto. I really want to see this, but I don't fancy shelling out £20 for a dvd for the privalige... I'll bide my time till someone I know gets it or it's on again. |

Everytime I hear the name of this DVD I think of Qbert's scratch routine that he did using only two records- an instrumental and a battle wax with the famous "all that scratching is making me itch" sample on it. |

qbert is all over this DVD. a special animation (soundtracked by his turntables) is even featured on the bonus disc. you quite literally don't know what you're missing! look at me... all this scratching is making me bitch! |

I make my own turntable music. Granted its not Qbert, but Ive been at it a few years and am fairly proficient, although my setup is not ideal. I use stanton str860 direct drive turntables which are good, but are not as good as 1210s with shure m447 carts for more extreme tricks. i use a vestax pmc06 scratch mixer which is top quality though. Generally i practice for about and hour a day, which is inadequate, but hey with work and all whats a man to do? Anyone else into this sort of turntablism lark? Ive gotta admit sometimes my wrists cane, but its worth it, since you scratch away out of time and out of tune, but keep trying and then the next day. bam, your'e in the zone and you ARE qbert! |

I'm learning turntabilism. I'm definately getting better but I'm still not even "average" by a long way. I can do some of the simpler scratches and can tear quite well. My cueing by sight and needle dropping is suprisingly accurate given my relative inexperience and I can do a 2 bar rewind loop on two identical records quite accurately. Saving up for either a PMC06 Pro D (if it comes back down in price in the new year) or a PMC05 Pro (not the samurai version) if the Samurai06 is still out of my reach. You can hear some of my scratching (sounds a bit like r2d2 "talking") on my ae remix. I DJ occasionally and at paid gigs tend just beat mix as I'm worried about making mistakes, the only time I've done anything resembling turntabilism live aside from at house parties is scratching a beat in time of one record (faded in) to the rhythm of the playout tracks beats and then letting it play so that there is no perceptible change in beats. |

Ah, didn't know about the bonus disc. I may end up getting it in the new year then... I have to admit I'm a big fan of qbert. He seems to have a great sense of fun and really enjoys playing. I'm sure I've mentioned before how much more fun it was to see Peter Parker (of Fingathing) playing live as he was clearly having the time of his life, enjoying every minute of it whilst remianing very humble and that rubbed off on the crowd. I was at the welsh DMC heats earlier this year and the standard of entries was very high. Having not seen much evidence of a scene round here I thought it might be a bit embarrasing in terms of quality, but it ended up being really good. |

Ok get the 06D definately. you wont want the 05 ok. Heres why: the 05 and 07 are almost the same, except that the 07 is a more expensive and better 05. the 07 has better eq, since they are mini faders and not knobs which are less easy to flick into position. The main point to note is the location of the cue section on the 05/07. the 05 has the cue section too close to the faders.fact. the 07 has it in a different more well thought out area.fact. if you are investing in a quality mixer then dont get the 05, save a bit more and get the 07. you wont regret it at all. on the other hand, the 06 is thinner and has a completely different character. the cue section and the master controls are in the BEST position out of all. you dont have the 05s stupid mic input which you dont need, and its so slimline and simplified that it is almost a natural thing using it. so in my expert*ahem* opinion, either get the pmc06 SAMURAI or the pmc07 (non samurai). skip the overpriced 07isp and the silly 05.when youre spending a couple of hundred quid make the right decision first time. good luck. |

Cheers for the advice Dave. My main snag has been getting a go on all the different models to "feel" which one suits me. I've used a mix stick similair to the 06 (a mate's cheap behringer one) and I think I prefer that to a wider 05/07style one for scratching. Like you say, when it's £300+ you want to get it right first time. I don't think I could afford even the normal 07 as at around £500 it's too expensive for me at the moment. Hopefully the 06 Samurai will drop to around the £350 mark early next year and I'll get that. |
