The Pioneer SVM 1000 Video Club Mixer

Well I'm back readers with a new post to follow up my stories on video mixing. I've been away on vacation for awhile and couldn't find the time to write any new blogs while I was getting ready for my trip. The Bahama's was beautiful (I hated to leave). But, as promised here's a look at a video mixer made mostly for using in clubs. The Pioneer SVM 1000 which can be used with (of cource) the Serato SL video software.

I don't usually show items this expensive on my blog because I try to stick to the needs of the mobile DJ and the products that will serve their business the best. This unit is going for what I would consider the price of a good used car! About $8,000.00 retail or about $7,000.00 if purchased online. As I mentioned, this is for the most part a club mixer. But as you can see in the video, it's capable of doing some pretty impressive task. I will try to find a more reasonalbly priced video mixer to write about later.

I ran across this product while surfing around looking for more info on the Serato SLVideo software and the type of mixers being used with it. I did see where the Pioneer CDL-2000s were being incorperatated with Scratch Live Video, but the mixers varied from small regular DJ mixers to the more expensive Rane 68 DJ mixers. I chose this video on the Pioneer SVM 1000 only as a means of showing the popularity with Video and Music being used together. And this goes way beyond just Karaoke!

A lot of the effects you see being done in this video, I've discovered can also be done just using the Serato SL video software and your CDJs. Which is probably the road I'll take in order to save money. The point is, getting the most "Bang for your buck" when you're a mobile DJ.  I mean this thing looks like it could weigh about 40 or 50 pounds! And I try to travel as light as possible when I go out to do a gig!

Well, that's about all I have for now but as I said, I'll be back to show some equippment  that's more affordable on some of my future blogs. So as always people..........remember to.........."Stay In The Mix"
