That's cool! Like the Publicity of the Bold!

I want a BlackBerry T-Shirt! Does anybody have one for me ;-)? Please! Please Please!

Cool video wish I could have been there to see it all go down. And have a bold for myself.

Same as all the Canadian VIP launch parties.

What song was that playing in the video. I like it. Also I think that is so cool that you can DJ with the Bold.

If you could use any other BB with that system

After I bought my remote stereo gateway, I wanted to get another just to do that! Beaten to the punch again! Hope he shuts off his radios, cause an incoming bbm will poop on that party.

that was sweet!! like that.

Who the composer?

Dont wanna wreck the fun here. But he isnt really doing anyting with the blackberry other then playing (probably mp3) and outputting the sound through his mixers and synthesizer. And also the speakers are not hooked to the Bold.
That is the same is doing it with a laptop or even an Ipod.

I would be impressed if this was something about using software on the bold to manipulate the sound but other then that nothing really amazing here...

Ive seen people making music with gameboys using a specially crafter synthesizer that were hardcoded into a cartrige and played when inserted in the Gameboy. Now that is real dj-ing with a device not intended for such use...

Damn! awesome clip, I have it copied onto my Bold :-)

ur only playin the tunes from each blackberry and using the MIXER to fade in and out and drop in tunes which is cool but not really mixin with blackberrys....

...i am gettin a curve in the next couple of days and i was looking to see if there is any portable software like you would find on a laptop which you can install on your blackberry and just simply plug into speaker systems like plugging in a ipod or MP3 player in...... is there anything like that??? or is there going to be anything like that?????

si

do any of you actually dj, other than the guy in the video? He's using the EXACT SAME concept of mixing with an iPod, Serato, or even two records! He's only unable to scratch as if he had turntables. Plug in two iPods, and all you're doing is mixing through your mixer, which is what MOST DJs DO when just playing a live set. Very few DJs "make" music when playing a live set, most of this "making music" you talk about is done in a studio. When I spin, when my friends spin, when most DJs in my downtown spin, they are doing exactly what he is doing, mixing the music, two different songs, and making sure he matches up the beats per minute. This guy is doing it better than most DJs out there because most have Serato, which makes matching BPMs waaaaaay easier. Try learning how to count BPMs and mix two different songs, then talk sh*t! I thought the vid was sick, of course no ones really going to DJ in a club with blackberries, it was just to showcase their ability!

Ok it's about time someone asked the key questions about djing on your blackberrys: how did you beatmatch? Did you change the bpm on pc software before and just press play at exactly the right time? What if your beats were slightly out? How did you adjust? Did you have to just keep pressing play until you hit the beat? Is there a pitch bend feature in the blackberry media player I am yet to find?

I think the moral of this post is that someone needs to make a serato/traktor-like app that lets you cue, play, bpm adjust and pitch bend and then simply get a headphone-phono cable and just input it directly to the mixer.

The only way I have found that works so far is to have a bb as well as your turntables in a third channel on the mixer, press play at roughly the right time and then beatmatch by adjusting the pitch on the turntable. If using a cdj with master tempo people don't notice the minor speed adjustments.
