FAO: DJ's.

[Kuffir]

beat matching is half d fun but selection >>

 

thats y all this dj craze dmc scratchmaster 3000 talk is air

[zeke]

i've noticed a lot of laptop djs (that aren't using syncing), their mixes sound off, like their perfectly out if that makes sense

 

it's all in time per se but the beats aren't grooving together

 

with so much garage (for instance) you gotta get both tracks in the pocket together and only your ears will help you with that one

 

plus i can hear the mix going out before they clock it on the laptop screen with the soundwaves

 

all these new tools a turning the act into more of a sequencing job

 

THIS!!!

 

especially with house n garage, I can hear the hi hat pattern f*ckin up before these man have clocked the wav on the screen being outta synch.

 

Im not gonna lie years of using serato has made my ears not as strong as when I first used to use vinyl, but i try now not to look at the screen as much as possible.

 

Im all for technology especially if ya doin amazing thing with it, but the synch button is something that just doesnt sit well with me

Mac is here. Now I'm controller shopping.

Looking at the screen to see if a mix is out? Is that serious? Jesus f**king Navas that's disgusting. What happened to using headphones? Even on CDJs I still don't really look at the BPM. I hope this sh*t doesn't make me lazy.

Sold my Rane SL1 and bought an SL2, Serato DJ installed..... Now gotta get my dice, my fucking controller is not compatible FML

[Da Luv Doc]

Nah, DH1000s. I want the dice instead. The DH1000s were sick though, kinder pissed off. Thing is more solid than diamond and weighs a ton so you can smash the buttons and it will take it calm. smh.

[Sinister]

How much resale you get on the 800's Faze?

 

What controller you looking at?

 

Yeah Dice are nice, my mate has them with the SL2, can do nice tricks with it, but IMO using them all the time is a bit OTT and can ruin a set.

[FinalBawse]

I was looking at ordering that one.

 

It would be my first controller and just for bedroom use.

 

Another one that I been looking at is the DDJ-WeGBo 2, anyone got one?  It looks a bit....toy like to me.

the sb arrived, will give it a try tonight, need to get hold of a full serato tho because that dj intro software is terrible.

 

is there a crack floating about?

[gattsu]

This reminds me of when music producers where shitting on software producers ,saying that they will never make it big ,hardware will always be king blah blah , but really the only thing stopping them from adopting the wave was their elitist attuide .

fast forward to the present and 80% of the guys who where against it and using it

being easiser and more accessible will not stop guys rising to the top.

couldn't give a fuck if the DJ is using q laptop or not as long as it's bumping mixes are clean and keeps people moving

[Esquilax]

if i was a dj playing gigs every week the last thing i'd want to do is haul around a record bag everywhere, esp when not even making that much guwop

 

serato and usb are pretty much the accepted forms of djing in *most* clubs in *most* circles, but controllers are still frowned upon tbh

 

kode9 uses one, disappointment i've heard from some people is a lot

 

i dont see why a usb is any more acceptable than a laptop as a record box mechanism, which is essentially all it is 

 

serato is good for looping n shit as well

 

producers get away with using ableton n that cuz they're not expected to be able to mix 

 

it's a funny world of people almost trying to out-authenticate each other 

[Posted January 2, 2014]

its all abit daft tbh, but i remember there was a similar mini uproar when the new pioneers were released with the screens showing the wavefroms ect ect.

 

same when vestax released that turntable that had a bpm counter built in.

 

people just dont like change.

 

djin will never go back to a pure artform like the vinyl days. thats what technology does, makes things easier.

[Esquilax]

but you can still use the mixer to add flare to your sets n shit you know?

 

there will always be a distinction between great DJs and any breah with an auto cue button 

 

if you're just doing it for a lol and party then IMO you should be able to use whatever u feel like, but a professional has to have professional tools 

 

did anyone go to EZ's 8 hr set last night?

[The Somalian]

check the 2014 topic breh

[Esquilax]
