The V16 Hard Rubber Mouthpieces are inspired by the sound of the greatest jazzmen from the fifties to the present. The V16 mouthpiece blows easily and sounds great. These mouthpieces have great punch, yet maintain a smooth tone at any dynamic level. The V16 is available with 3 tip opening sizes: B5, B7, and B9. B5 is flexible in playing and application. B7 has the qualities of the V5 series B75 with the sound of the V16. B9 brings out the baritone's power. Vandoren JAVA, V16 and ZZ reeds are recommended for these mouthpieces.

Vandoren SM831 B5 Baritone Sax V16 Ebonite Mouthpiece Review

I just purchased a V16 Baritone Saxophone Mouthpiece (B5). I am a student at a music conservatory and I was looking for a mouthpiece with a med tip opening and a med facing. This mouthpiece makes it easy to produce a mellow tone with a good balance of volume and control. If you want to play FFF with a tone like a chain saw you should look for another mouthpiece. If you want to sound more like gerry mulligan and still have enough volume to play in a big band then the V16 series is a good choice. I have played on several Vandoren mouthpieces over the last 8 yrs and each one was fantastic. Just be sure to find a tip opening that fits your tastes (google mouthpiece tip opening chart) and also be careful to find a good fitting ligature. For some reason it was hard for me to find a ligature for this mouthpiece. I think that Vandoren makes one now but the Vandoren optimum or Rico H tenor (TENOR) Hard Rubber ligatures work fine. The regular optimum ligature for bari is too large for this mouthpiece.

Vegas 4.0 Review

Vegas 4.0 is not for the faint of heart or for those who are not willing or able to take the time to learn a software package that is capable of producing professional video productions suitable for broadcast or film.That being said, if you are willing to put some effort and time into learning it, Vegas will reward you richly. Having moved from Ulead Videostudio, I found that I immediately had much greater control over every part of my video. Color correction, transitions, unlimited number of audio tracks, over 30 DX effects for sounds, and the list goes on and on. The key here is that when you create a quality product, it's because of your own creative vision, not one imposed by the software.If you've outgrown lesser packages or need the power straight off, I highly recommend Vegas. If you are just starting off or don't have the time to invest, pick another product.; Help other customers find the most helpful reviews Was this review helpful to you?�Yes No Report abuse | PermalinkComment Comment

Vento VEFH5700 500 Series Model 5700 Bb French Horn Review

I have played horn for over 40 years. I have always owned a double F/Bb horn. I thought it would be fun to try out a single Bb horn, but without spending a lot of money. This little horn is lightweight, and has a big sound. The leadpipe on this horn is bigger than most beginner horns have, not at all stuffy. I think a beginner would have a better time with this than a lot of single F horns. Not sure where it is made, I suspect China. No name on the horn. It also has a trigger valve which changes the pitch to A as a stopping valve. Not too many beginners will use it, but it is a nice feature.

Vestax CDX05 CD/MP3 Scratch Player with Effects Review

I just got one of these for a nice price. Kind of a goofy implementation.

No pitch bend when scratch is turned on, even though you have to push down to scratch and don't have to push down to bend. WTF?!

Even worse, the pitch bending by way of the platter (when scratch is off, due to the above idiocy) is cumulative: the longer you rotate, the more the bending increases. So even if you very slowly rotate, eventually you're at the full bend of +/- 10%. Dumb. I can't imagine any justification for that, except that maybe the software programmers took a shortcut and used the exact same code for the wheel as the pitch buttons. It makes mixing counter-intuitive.

50% pitch range is worthless. Should be 20 or 25%. It's already got 100% available, though the pitch resolution goes totally out the window in these ultra pitch modes. Essentially it's got the useable mixing range of an old CDJ-100, since only 6 and 10% work well enough... and the old Pioneer's pitch bending isn't bunk on its wheel.

When used all by itself, pitch resolution is limited to 0.1%. Internally, the firmware and chips are capable of more, but I'm not sure if the fader is. It needs to be at least 0.05% increments at 10% range. There appears to be no limit to resolution that I can tell when the external TTM controller is used.

If the unit is playing, holding the primary cue button does not play from the beginning, rather it just jumps back and stays... even though you hold. I get that tapping the primary cue should reset to it to that point (in Play cue mode), but that's because you released it. If you are already at the primary cue and the music isn't going, you hold cue (to play it), then hit play/pause, and it continues playing. That's very cool, but I don't understand the logic of not allowing this at any point during playblack. I almost wonder if the unit's memory is extremely limited, or something. I think the antishock is only 10 seconds, the 3 alternate cue points have a slight lag at times if you're in another spot, and there's only one loop and sampler... possible memory limitation.

I have not experienced any skipping so far, but I will torture the hell out of it with the subs soon. I had already paid for it when I found out that some units apparently cannot handle bass vibration well.

I only had one problem with reading a disk: an old MP3 dot com non-standard audio CD, back before they became some weird commercialized Napster clone. Numarks and Pioneers read it fine, but that's hardly worth getting in a tizzy over. I've ripped and reburned to try playing it again.

Otherwise, the unit has excellent fidelity for a CD unit, the vinyl filter can be switched on/off on the fly and really does sound more like certain phono cartridges when necessary (ATP on the Numark 5000fX, WL on the PPD01, etc), and the effects are surprisingly useable and production-quality.

I sent some emails to Vestax telling them how to improve the firmware on the 05 & 07 to fix some of its issues. Hopefully they are just software choices the programmers didn't think of and not hardware limitations. We'll see what happens.

Aside from Numark's reliability problems (which aren't slight), the Axis 8's are infinitely more ergonomic for mixing, and compared to the CDX-05 without the TTM thing, arguably not considerably worse for scratching. Unlike the Axis 8, the digital out works all the time and the frequency response is flat from the analog outs: no ramped-up high frequencies.

Update:

Doesn't play Dual Discs (one side DVD, other side CD), but in general many slot loading mechanisms don't. Tray loaders do have some utility, it turns out.

The CDX-05 is about as prone to skipping as the worse of the two Axis 8's I have, which isn't great, but is fairly acceptable. I tested this by physically putting them on top of a sub and cranking it. The other Axis 8 was almost impossible to cause it to skip except when I picked it up and violently shook it for an extended time. That lesser Axis 8 has occasionally been going into random loops or freezing on me lately, which is why I was in the market for another player. That, however, has not been the result of vibration as it occurred even with headphone mixing. If the Vestax is not seriously glitchy during normal usage (won't include playback on top of a subwoofer), then it will have acceptable anti-shock for my purposes.

Product Feature

• MIDI input
• Pitch control of +/-60
• Adjustable Torque
• DC Direct Drive Motor

Product Description

Do not be deceived by the design. It may look the same as the PDX series from the past, but is nothing comparable. With its new features, the PDX-3000 gives you absolute control over the vinyl. In addition of the traditional pitch control and ultra pitch, a torque simulator system is built in to adjust the motor's torque power to the DJs preference, allowing you to scratch but also mix with the PDX-3000 like no other turntable before! The PDX-3000(*1) is also the world's first turntable to have MIDI connection, which enables external MIDI devices to control the pitch. Stability is a known virtue ofFor DJs who have craved to see a Vestax turntable with an S arm and for mixing and scratching, the PDX-3000mix is now here. The new tone arm is constructed with high quality bearings which support the tone arm movement with great tracking ability and durability. The arm pipe is made from quality aluminum which provides a fine tone signal for quality sound pick-up and output. With the new torque simulator, the PDX can control its pitch to the finest precision to enable mixing to be near perfect. The PDX-3000mix (*1) is also the world's first turntable to have MIDI connection, which enables external MIDI devices to control the pitch. Vestax's original Anti Skipping Tone Arm System (A.S.T.S) provides sufficient performance for DJs who juggle and scratch. For many DJs familiar to straight arm Djing, the PDX-3000 is your perfect choice.

Vestax PDX-3000mix Professional Direct Drive DJ Turntable with S Shaped Tone Arm (Black) Review

this could have probably been my favorite turntable.
The "ultra pitch" is great and the torque is nice for scratching.

I ordered 2 of these turntables and unfortunately the LED Stylus light was missing in one of the packages, and the other one only worked for the first 3 uses.

After writing the seller about this issue twice, I still have not received a response.

This is only a $20 part so compared to the price of the turntable its no big deal. But its disappointing to have to buy parts for a brand new turntable.
and the part isnt easy to find.

Great turntable!!!!
get it from a different seller!!
