Quicktime in OSX does video screen capture recordings.

All I'm hearing sounds like noise, and it looks like you're peaking at -4dB on your Denon's master. If the record out is any quieter and/or your input gain was set low as well, then bringing it up to full volume would be amplifying noise. Actually, now that I think about it, your channel gains are pretty damn low too, especially with a digital mixer with so much headroom. If you're not using the Denon as a controller for Traktor's Internal mode (which I'm almost certain you're not) then the output stage of the mixer is amplifying noise as well.

I think that's where it's coming from. At least it's waaaay less annoying than clipping for the whole set. Just fix your gain structures and you'll be good.

Yeah I'm making some adjustments today.

Not sure anybody wants to really watch gentle EQ'ing and moderate FX usage that sometimes you can't even tell I'm doing anything, but here ya go anyway.

There's a few screw up, but there's always screw ups and the camera flips somewhere around 1/4 way through and I have to readjust.

Used the iWebcamera app to turn my iPhone into a web camera that works with Ustream.

beautifully done man, i lost myself in the music listening to that. never gave deep house much thought but that changed my mind
