The reason why Jeff is still around and so relevant is because he adapts to the new technology and isn't afraid to change his ways for the future. So many producers, DJs and artists get so butthurt when new things or advanaces come along and there like well what about this or that... Man we've been using turntables for like 60 years. There needs to be a new advance and I myself use turntables so I go through the same issues he states. Jeff is about the kids and the future man. Always keeping fresh and mentoring people on the come up.
No one is "butthurt" about new technology, they're sceptical. If anybody has a problem with anything, it's new technology that creates crappy deejays (who don't bother improving their skills).
I love change and technology, but turntables will never go away because it's the foundation...the essence of Hip Hop. New technology will be created around the turntable as you just witnessed with this vid. Think about how long we've been using wheels on vehicles. It's bout to be 2019 and we're STILL using them lol.
@@robertsyrett1992, I'm pretty sure that the difference comes down to the "feel" of the record. This unit looks to be something you can add to any turntable, so you can use the turntable you've practiced on for years. It may not sound like a big deal, but a lot of people who switched to CDJs had to get used to them first. Plus, there is a big difference between using an 8.5 inch platter and a 12 inch platter, such as the difference in moving the 8 inch platter's edge an inch vs the 12 inch. Finer control is also easier on the 12 inch because of this. Also, while i'm not sure if CDJs typically have spinning platters these days, on an actual turntable you can make fine adjustments to the track syncing by lightly dragging your finger on the platter to slow down the track that's ahead slightly, allowing the other track to catch up. Yes there's usually a sync button now, but many DJs prefer to use this method as it allows them a bit more control over whats happening. Plus, syncing two tracks using the button can screw up sometimes and read the BPM and bar positioning wrong which leads to some strange sounds out of your speakers.
What in the Hell??? Now this is definitely a game changer!!! Its only right that one of the dopest DJs EVER is at the forefront of this new technology...
unless I'm wrong it's motion control vinyl where the record itself doesn't need a needle using timecode (midi control through a record player) in a way that changes the game foe DJing as a whole allowing crazy sets without the fear of bumping your setup and loosing place.
@@nikomiyozo8671 thought the whole point being a good dj was being in control of the set like that - i dunno, im ignorant about the process these days - no needle just makes me think why not push play on an ipod and walk away
WOW! I've seen devices SIMILAR to this before, one was even featured on the TV show "Shark Tank", but I've never seen one THIS good. When he took the record off of the turntable and kept it playing by spinning his body, I immediately thought "game changer". WOW! And I'm not even a DJ.
Much obliged. Been a fan since the 'Drums, please!' It's nice to see an established artist keeping an open mind to new concepts. This video is much more than just a new tech video. It's about acceptance. Not everyone has it. A huge lesson in keeping your inner child alive and well. Shine on!
At a certain time in history there was probably some people telling the guy that invented the sustain pedal for the piano that it’s cheating. “If you want a long sustained note, keep your finger on the key bro”...... It’s like: The sampler = cheating........Tape and records in general = cheating (“it’s not the same as playing live bro”)............. My point: there are always people that are against new technology when it comes to music. But fortunitely there are also people that embrace and use it to innovate and create new technique’s and styles/genres/sounds.
This is so true.. Its like the ebike thing.. People on normal mountain bikes think its cheating.. Are cars and motorbikes considered cheating? They probably were back when they came out.. I remember reading somewhere that Henry Ford had to take his prototype car out at night to drive it and perfect it because of the public ridicule he received.
The ones who don't want innovation in certain industries usually have ulterior motives almost always involving money some DJ equipment is purposefully made flawed to force you to cough up more cash to buy the more expensive stuff
@@loweni7460 Tbhn this invention stops a lot of problems for people who still deejay with vinyl... i for example see only + points in this little device which would help me gratefully....So guess it depends on what you want at the end as deejay...( am only a fun deejay at home ) :)
This is amazing. No more vinyl, no more record bags, no need for CDJs as well as turntables, no more people bumping the table making the needle bounce everywhere
OMG, This is game changing . . I was born in 86 as the son of a dj!!! was djing on tec 1200s since 9 years old, by the time i hit 15 16 [ 03 04] i was pretty dam good but unfortunately turntables were dying. . . :( especially since everything was mp3 and cdjs I have a set of my dads original tec 1200s from the 80s but they well worn, and will not dvs for crap [bad circle on the dvs] and need so much work to be like new :( I dont want to get rid of them because they were passed to by my father but I can not do the things i did on them i did growing up. AND MISS TURNTABLEISM SO MUCH!!!!!!!! WELL IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS ABOUT TO CHANGE!!!!!!!!!!!! Dj Jazzy Jeff your smile was exactly the same i mine as i saw you playing on those, like a kid in a candy shop!!!!!!1 you have no idea!!!!!!!!!!! its gonna bring my 35 year old technic 1200s back from the grave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE VID!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man, this comment - I can relate 100% with every single thing you said... I still have my 1210’s that I bought on my 18th Birthday. That was 22 years ago - thing is, apart from changing cartridges a few times and switching from Stanton’s to Ortofon, they’ve had one single service done on them about 10 years ago when I noticed the tone arm starting to skate - nothing major but it got everything re-aligned and tightened up. Just like that, it was like the day they came out of the shop. Technics are amazing - quite literally, perfect - always have been. I was in an accident a couple of years ago and was left unable to stand unassisted- so that meant the end of my DJing career. Can’t scratch sitting down - was really gutted. You’ll know exactly how I was feeling - I did get into using DVS with Traktor but now I just use an S4, 2 x F1’s and 2 x Midi-Fighters but it’s not the same. I’ve sold just about all my DJ kit now but no way could I ever sell my 1210’s - even though I don’t mix with them anymore, they’re just far too sentimental to get rid of. The memories. Always makes me smile when I glance at them and I remember a party or a club night or even just thinking back, learning to mix, with all my mates piling round to my folks house 😄 I did mess up a bit with drugs at one point - and it turned really low but to be honest, even though it was entirely the dance music scene that introduced me to pills n powder in the early nineties - I wouldn’t change it for the world. Best times of my life - I fucking love mixing
I would argue given their sentimental value to you personally, no price to too high to have them fully restored to the glory they were when your dad raised the roof with them. :)
You can use serato with vinyl and needles just like the old days. Only difference is no more carrying crates around. You load the songs instantly from your laptop to your deck. Look into a serato battle mixer
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jeff I am glad it was you who i first saw do this.....salute 49th chancellor west philly 4 ever....i was there when you first did west philly high show....my mans Pint (god bless your life) and RIP went on stage and freestyled on the mic...SALUTE Jeff...one love
kris wilkins true but this is universal. The Rane only works with Serato. Learn from Microsoft and bill gates. Make something for all users. Get double the money. This is a business and the business people will win
With this thing you dont need to bring two big 12" size controllers for the same expirience. It's like a dvs box and two timecodes that fit any existing turntable setup. This thing is portable.
@@bboymac84 Idk, without turntables it defeats it's purpose, which is scratching and keeping timecode/pitch up and down. U need something that turns or u are better off using internal timecode in traktor.
ducklaser no but I knew it wasnt going to happen the moment I saw his shirt. In the show you knew he was getting tosses by uncle phil when he wore that loud shirt
The ultimate game changer for djs no more broken styluses & having to worry about carrying back up needles in your record bag now just the fact that you have to have a set of spare phase needles on charge
Only dude who stayed real from the good days 👊 tbh I dnt bother with wills chan he tries too hard and jazz just has so much soul they had to adapt new technologies to harness it
MaximusD00M then maybe write it in a way that can’t be taken literally. I’m more than certain all the people liking your post now believe this is coming out because of Jeff and also based on your comment. People are stupid and the comments on UA-cam could go either way.
Omg @JazzyJeff, you became the turntable 2:09! 😁😁 It was the highlight of my year to meet you when you came to perform at the Carnivore in Nairobi!. Mad love from Kenya!
You know it's still knob turning sync button on the system right? You know that it's now simply a rane twelve right? All types of people are going to buy this and your evaluation of a "real DJ" has everything to do with marketing. I've seen "real DJs kill a DDJ SB controller. Are they not real DJs?
Thats not what he said Bawbag . Turntable skills are one of the key elements of Hip Hop. And Dj Jazzy Jeff is one of the pillars. Didn't you know ? Shit . You better back up off the dick...
Real talk that's truly next level. LoL, I'm going to get me some of these, put them on 2 Sit-n-Spins right after the kids come home from Dairy Queen and get funky.
It already exists. I get weekly playlists on Spotify with recommendations based on all the songs I've listened to. I discover new and good music all the time this way. This is just the beginning. Next is automatic mixing.
@@waxmaster-c Automatic mixing already exists. DJs and music enthusiasts in the know, know where to find this software. I used to professionally DJ. Now, if I wanted to, I can use this software with both eyes closed and fake it like I'm DJing. The mixes, most of the time, if you know how to select songs are very smooth.
Holy shit...DJJ killed this. New so-called DJ's only know how to work the channel knobs. " Left......then Right....her come the break...Left again". Throw some T-shirts.
I cant beleive what I just saw...the GAME of Djing has just left the earth..you are now creating music in mid-air I LOVE IT!! I dont Dj as much anymore (music producer) but im going to incorporate this in my set. WOW!!!!
Let's bring a bunch of DJs in and set up the turntables and play with the one peice of technology they've been waiting all their lives for. What could go wrong? 3 hours later - look, I can scratch upside down, I can scratch from across the room. Let's see what happens if I spin the record sideways. 2 hours after that - SERCURITY!!! They WON'T LEAVE!!!
Seamless transition to new technology, WITHOUT breaking the foundation of mixing n cutting. As always, DJ Jazzy Jeff, leading the way & has done for quite sometime. Adaptability + Genuine love for the Game = Durability = Relevance = DJ Jazzy Jeff = Legend!!
holy shit this is next level. i remember when i first saw serato i was like naw that wont be the same as records and it proved me wrong. i will definitely have to try this before i hate but damn its lookin good.
Jeff I totally agree with you because I'm a turntablest too, but keep it real with them & tell them if they make it smaller/lower profile they will get more all around sales from Trick,Battle & Blend Dee Jays... Salute!!!👑✨👑 Phase: You are the cutting edge, so lets really push the envelope now...
How much smaller does that thing need to get? It’s currently half the size of a ketchup packet, if that. Any smaller, you’ll need a microscope to transfer it from it’s carrying case to the turntable, and heaven help you if you sneeze...
@@Qu35t10n3v3ryth1n9 Absolutely not they have been doing that since 2017 the main issue I see is to being able to access the stem in the middle of the platter for serious blending & mixing... Real DJ's use the whole turntable as their musical instrument... I hate to say this , but that's wht The Rane 12's have extra long stems they actually get it!...Sorry to aware your paid advertising / marketing team's feelings, but it make a hell of a lot of sense. Great Product for beginners👑✨👑
I posted on their Facebook page a while ago, and I hope they listen to my suggestion. If they were able to put a rubber nub in the hole that could grip the spindle and extend it above the device so that for inexperienced DJ's that don't know how to beat match with nudging and slowing the platter down, they could use the spindle and stop complaining. If they did that, it would dominate the market completely.
@@DJSkunkieButt if you wanna be honest the whole system is over sized because it's powering a LED lol They can really make it the size of a vinyl sticker & as flat as 2 quarters stacked... All I'll say if they don't someone else will who is way more funded like Rane...#Factz...👑✨👑
I have been watching this product closely since certain dj's started experimenting with it. Here are my only issues. You can't "needle drop." But if you have your cue points set up in Serato I guess that is not a huge issue. Also the mechanism sits on top of the spindle you can't use the spindle to speed the record up while beat-matching. Although that is a sloppy way to mix, and the proper way is to use nothing but the pitch control. Other than that, this thing is awesome if you use an interface program like Serato.
I don't see why you can't needle drop? You can still use needles, and THRU mode on Serato/Traktor/etc. to actually use your turntables. You can't do that with CDJs. You can't do that with Rane Twelves. Or, you want to go on stage, with two turntables without any cartridges, without any vinyl, like they are doing in Phase's demo video? I don't think that is how these will be used. I see these as being used IN CONJUNCTION with traditional vinyl turntable DJs. Unless maybe you have a terrible mixer with too few inputs, so you can't route your TTs and your Phase through them simultaneously? That would be ridiculous, but I guess possible. Those aren't Phase's issues, that is you not thinking about how this adds versatility to a performance, it doesn't remove a single thing, it is additive. Mathematic set theory may be over your head, and youtube level discourse, but you can't needle drop: only if you completely remove the needle for demonstration purposes and remove through modes in DVS systems and don't know how to wire your mixer. I don't think that is an issue with Phase, I don't even think that is an issue. To not needle drop you would actually have to just have a bad setup, Phase isn't part of that equation, your lack of imagination is. I personally plan to use this with vinyl in my sets, but I have some music which is absolutely digital only and has never been released in physical form. Not every producers puts out vinyl these days at all, and control discs have lost out to CDJs primarily because most people using CDJs are just using them as controllers anyway, they're rarely loading up Serato timecodes into them, as XDJs and such have that built in. I remain dumb founded by the lack of imagination. The only possible criticism that has retained any validity in months of reading fora since the NAMM announcement is for those who like stylus tweaking and label turntablism techniques, and for those few haters I already have some theoretical solutions involving thicker slip mats or mounting sub turntable platter, but those ideas have other drawbacks and really maybe Phase 2.0 can have the controllers actually just fit the PCBs and batteries in something that is vinyl sized and shaped? Much more difficult engineering to get electronics that thin, even iPhone X models are still thicker than a 180gm piece of vinyl, so I wouldn't expect that soon, if ever.
@@grey9514 Thank you for your long-winded response. And yes, if you have needles on the tables, you can still needle drop. Also I said it's not a huge issue, because you can use cue points. Please read my entire response, instead of fixating on one thing to write your book report about.
@@odeed I tend to read and re-read, and re-read again while replying to anything I ever write to share publicly if it is a response to something. Sorry if you think it is TL;DR.
Was at the DJ Expo in Atlantic City this past August and I’ve seen more people at the Phase booth hands on doing their thing on the tables than any other showcase. Not Rane, Pioneer, Denon.
while there, one of their setups was not working properly. When I asked one of their demonstrators to help me out and figure out the problem he didn't even try
I believe that is the reason they pushed back the release date for those that pre ordered. The original release date was sometime in September now its the 28th of November. Fingers crossed. ..
Your still gonna need the 1200's or something to spin your records around with. Plus a copy of Serato Scratch or Traktor and the hardware interface for that. And your computer or ipad. Its way more pricey than just a pair of 1200's. Even if you order them somehow without the stylus or sell the stylus (not really a smart idea) it's still gonna be nearly a grand or more than your two turntables already cost. Do people actually not understand how this setup works?
I understand completely how this works, I am a professional dj and this piece of kit will solve problems for me at certain gigs IF it works as advertised. It also means I can leave my precious M44-7s at home seeing as they are collectors' items nowadays ;-)

Props to PHASE for using a real DJ for this video. Tired of knob turning, sync button posers faking the funk.
DJ PROMO 💯💯💯💯
DJ PROMO yeah since it’s not HIP HOP it’s not REAL MUSIC right? fuck off clown
You know it's still knob turning sync button on the system right? You know that it's now simply a rane twelve right? All types of people are going to buy this and your evaluation of a "real DJ" has everything to do with marketing. I've seen "real DJs kill a DDJ SB controller. Are they not real DJs?
Thats not what he said Bawbag . Turntable skills are one of the key elements of Hip Hop. And Dj Jazzy Jeff is one of the pillars. Didn't you know ? Shit . You better back up off the dick...
Well said 💯!
Dj Jazzy Jeff U R Da Man!!!
OMFG IS THIS FOR REAL !!! THE FUTURE IS NOW ! I LOVE IT !
this technology is bananas.......just imagine the levels of creativity and showmanship this will ad to djs routines
Da Wrekzorcist The showmanship and “routines? That’s gonna come out of this should be nuts 2 watch and hear!
It’s gonna change everything for the people that make cartridges for turn tables. That’s about it.
Real talk that's truly next level. LoL, I'm going to get me some of these, put them on 2 Sit-n-Spins right after the kids come home from Dairy Queen and get funky.
Now we have Rane one and Rev 7. DJ life is sweet now! "90's DJ here"
Song at 2:27 is Ape drums - Deva (feat.) suku if anyone wondering
What about 2:54 ?
Thank you
What I needed to know, thanks 👌👌
Thanks
But what's the groove at 3:20 onwards?
That was amazing. Next, Robot DJs.
It already exists. I get weekly playlists on Spotify with recommendations based on all the songs I've listened to. I discover new and good music all the time this way. This is just the beginning. Next is automatic mixing.
@@waxmaster-c Automatic mixing already exists. DJs and music enthusiasts in the know, know where to find this software. I used to professionally DJ. Now, if I wanted to, I can use this software with both eyes closed and fake it like I'm DJing. The mixes, most of the time, if you know how to select songs are very smooth.
My mind is blown, that is some crazy shit right there. I still cannot believe what I saw.
You can literally rotate with the vinyl! Lit af!
This was dope. Salute to a Legend DJ Jazzy Jeff 💪🏾
Look mom, no needles on the record.
Best UA-cam comment I've seen all year🤣🤣🤣
@@asawills9327 thanks

Yes I remember breaking needles scratch ing nkotb record lol
Mantronix
The future of scratching without the pin. Genius
That was dope asf when he starting spinning in a circle. Mind Blown!!! 🤘🏾🤯
The revolution is here..
When he picked up the record... slammed the table... Placed an elbow on it.. Lol.. No Brainerd... This is amazing
Holy shit...DJJ killed this. New so-called DJ's only know how to work the channel knobs. " Left......then Right....her come the break...Left again". Throw some T-shirts.
Awesome.. Dj Jazzy Jeff is one of my Favs.
I wish Roc Raider was alive to see this
He would love it
RIP Roc Raider
hes dead?
Yup, unfortunately. Passed in '09.
Eventually people might catch on to that and probably make something even greater
BRUH! are you kidding me!!! I need this tool like yesteryear! my mind is just blown right now!
I cant beleive what I just saw...the GAME of Djing has just left the earth..you are now creating music in mid-air I LOVE IT!! I dont Dj as much anymore (music producer) but im going to incorporate this in my set. WOW!!!!
"Hey check out this Jazzy Jeff Phase video on UA-cam"
"Sorry, I only watch VHS"
bookieplow
Exclusively Super 8
Let's bring a bunch of DJs in and set up the turntables and play with the one peice of technology they've been waiting all their lives for. What could go wrong?
3 hours later - look, I can scratch upside down, I can scratch from across the room. Let's see what happens if I spin the record sideways.
2 hours after that - SERCURITY!!! They WON'T LEAVE!!!
Phase " We found something new " !!!
Traktor scratch pro : " Bitch please , hold my beer ..."
Seamless transition to new technology, WITHOUT breaking the foundation of mixing n cutting. As always, DJ Jazzy Jeff, leading the way & has done for quite sometime. Adaptability + Genuine love for the Game = Durability = Relevance = DJ Jazzy Jeff = Legend!!
Ohhhhhh shit ...... there’s no needle.. I’m a little tooo High rite now Lmao😂
There are no records at all my dude.
That part 😂
Needle stock just plummeted
200pt
Jazzy Jeff ain’t playing with them.
Glad I kept my 1210s.😎
That 1:1 connection 🔥🔥🔥
I still love playing my vinyl records I only use records when I DJ no computer no software
Wish i would have never sold all my crates 😪
The Godfather 🙌🏽 my idol. I made a video about Phase speaking about all this
Your videos are dope I learn a lot from watching them keep them coming
This thing is awsome
DJ LiXxer if he is The Godfather what is Grand Master Flash, Cool Herc, Marley Mal, Kid Capri
DJ LiXxer but salute to him because he is a legend
Never been a turntable guy.....but this shit is gonna be great! I'll be following to see where the imagination will take everyone.
I don't even know the first thing about how to DJ. But even I can realize how much of a big step this is.
I pre ordered this April 24th and now I’m beyond eager to receive my pair! Can’t wait nov 28
DJ_RueBoi same!
How much?
300€s
349$ America $, for 1 pair(2 phase and 1 charger) or 550ish for 4 phase with 1 charger
no, this cannot change everything
my 2007 technics just keep on giving.
no need to upgrade them
holy shit this is next level. i remember when i first saw serato i was like naw that wont be the same as records and it proved me wrong. i will definitely have to try this before i hate but damn its lookin good.
I almost didn't recognize him without his sunglasses
no turntable...you got a microwave? a sit and spin?
😂😂😂
This is the sickest dj technology I've ever seen
Good seeing Dj. Jazzy Jeff scratching still as in his prime.
Jazzy Jeff a true dj legend...🙏👍
Jeff I totally agree with you because I'm a turntablest too, but keep it real with them & tell them if they make it smaller/lower profile they will get more all around sales from Trick,Battle & Blend Dee Jays... Salute!!!👑✨👑 Phase: You are the cutting edge, so lets really push the envelope now...
How much smaller does that thing need to get? It’s currently half the size of a ketchup packet, if that. Any smaller, you’ll need a microscope to transfer it from it’s carrying case to the turntable, and heaven help you if you sneeze...
lower profile? Did you miss the part when he was scratching with the vinyl off the deck in midair? come on now.
@@Qu35t10n3v3ryth1n9 Absolutely not they have been doing that since 2017 the main issue I see is to being able to access the stem in the middle of the platter for serious blending & mixing... Real DJ's use the whole turntable as their musical instrument... I hate to say this , but that's wht The Rane 12's have extra long stems they actually get it!...Sorry to aware your paid advertising / marketing team's feelings, but it make a hell of a lot of sense. Great Product for beginners👑✨👑
I posted on their Facebook page a while ago, and I hope they listen to my suggestion.
If they were able to put a rubber nub in the hole that could grip the spindle and extend it above the device so that for inexperienced DJ's that don't know how to beat match with nudging and slowing the platter down, they could use the spindle and stop complaining.
If they did that, it would dominate the market completely.
@@DJSkunkieButt if you wanna be honest the whole system is over sized because it's powering a LED lol They can really make it the size of a vinyl sticker & as flat as 2 quarters stacked... All I'll say if they don't someone else will who is way more funded like Rane...#Factz...👑✨👑
Unarguably he is DA BEST...
im buzzing off jazzy jeffs energy, what a guy
I have been watching this product closely since certain dj's started experimenting with it. Here are my only issues. You can't "needle drop." But if you have your cue points set up in Serato I guess that is not a huge issue. Also the mechanism sits on top of the spindle you can't use the spindle to speed the record up while beat-matching. Although that is a sloppy way to mix, and the proper way is to use nothing but the pitch control. Other than that, this thing is awesome if you use an interface program like Serato.
I don't see why you can't needle drop?
You can still use needles, and THRU mode on Serato/Traktor/etc. to actually use your turntables.
You can't do that with CDJs.
You can't do that with Rane Twelves.
Or, you want to go on stage, with two turntables without any cartridges, without any vinyl, like they are doing in Phase's demo video?
I don't think that is how these will be used. I see these as being used IN CONJUNCTION with traditional vinyl turntable DJs.
Unless maybe you have a terrible mixer with too few inputs, so you can't route your TTs and your Phase through them simultaneously? That would be ridiculous, but I guess possible.
Those aren't Phase's issues, that is you not thinking about how this adds versatility to a performance, it doesn't remove a single thing, it is additive.
Mathematic set theory may be over your head, and youtube level discourse, but you can't needle drop: only if you completely remove the needle for demonstration purposes and remove through modes in DVS systems and don't know how to wire your mixer. I don't think that is an issue with Phase, I don't even think that is an issue. To not needle drop you would actually have to just have a bad setup, Phase isn't part of that equation, your lack of imagination is.
I personally plan to use this with vinyl in my sets, but I have some music which is absolutely digital only and has never been released in physical form. Not every producers puts out vinyl these days at all, and control discs have lost out to CDJs primarily because most people using CDJs are just using them as controllers anyway, they're rarely loading up Serato timecodes into them, as XDJs and such have that built in.
I remain dumb founded by the lack of imagination.
The only possible criticism that has retained any validity in months of reading fora since the NAMM announcement is for those who like stylus tweaking and label turntablism techniques, and for those few haters I already have some theoretical solutions involving thicker slip mats or mounting sub turntable platter, but those ideas have other drawbacks and really maybe Phase 2.0 can have the controllers actually just fit the PCBs and batteries in something that is vinyl sized and shaped? Much more difficult engineering to get electronics that thin, even iPhone X models are still thicker than a 180gm piece of vinyl, so I wouldn't expect that soon, if ever.
@@grey9514 Thank you for your long-winded response. And yes, if you have needles on the tables, you can still needle drop. Also I said it's not a huge issue, because you can use cue points. Please read my entire response, instead of fixating on one thing to write your book report about.
@@odeed I tend to read and re-read, and re-read again while replying to anything I ever write to share publicly if it is a response to something. Sorry if you think it is TL;DR.
Shure: “I’m not too shure about this crap”
Benny Shipp DON’T HATE! Get to taking advantage of this awesome tech. Grow with it...
Now every DJ's gonna start spinning in circles with a record above their head
That is totally completely undeniably awesome as hell!
Was at the DJ Expo in Atlantic City this past August and I’ve seen more people at the Phase booth hands on doing their thing on the tables than any other showcase. Not Rane, Pioneer, Denon.
while there, one of their setups was not working properly. When I asked one of their demonstrators to help me out and figure out the problem he didn't even try
I left completely disappointed and underwhelmed
I believe that is the reason they pushed back the release date for those that pre ordered. The original release date was sometime in September now its the 28th of November. Fingers crossed. ..
Soo..it seems you can't do a needle drop with this. What's the sense in this then over using a midi controller based system ?
Essentially, it's just a MIDI controller that mimics a real table's physics and handling with extreme accuracy.
@@compucat If I understood well, it's more accurate than MIDI.
Bluetooth needles ...genius..great tech..a true game changer welldone
Jazzy Jeff, you are one amazing DJ. Truely inspirational, and a really cool dude! Im so pumped I have found your channel!!
Its good and everthing new era but for me as a dj im always oldschool 2 turn tables and mixer thats creatively
What type of witchcraft is this!?
Any sticker drift jeff???
Yes it can change the world of djing. No more needles needed. i would like to try it myself
Technology is just getting better and better and better and better and better I love it
3:20 what the track is?
I know russian GreenGray band with the same sample and more than 10 yers old track was named mazafaka.
green grey is Ukrainian band
I think song in video is SWV feat Missy Elliott - Can We
@@user-dw8uy2ul8k знаю, нашел оригинал с Missy Elliot😉
@@user-dw8uy2ul8k lol, howd you come up with UKraininan
I'll take these over the twelves if the price is right.
Twelves are $800 each and I ordered my pair of phase for $350
The God grabbed the record and started spinning his body around to keep the record playing. There are gonna be some wild routines for sure.
It's a done deal, then..
Your still gonna need the 1200's or something to spin your records around with. Plus a copy of Serato Scratch or Traktor and the hardware interface for that. And your computer or ipad. Its way more pricey than just a pair of 1200's. Even if you order them somehow without the stylus or sell the stylus (not really a smart idea) it's still gonna be nearly a grand or more than your two turntables already cost.
Do people actually not understand how this setup works?
I understand completely how this works, I am a professional dj and this piece of kit will solve problems for me at certain gigs IF it works as advertised. It also means I can leave my precious M44-7s at home seeing as they are collectors' items nowadays ;-)
What the ???? They will never replace the tables!!!
The G.O.A.T. Jazzy Jeff with new tech
