what are you on about?

the guitar puritan would require a gibson or a fender, a concert pianist would insist on a steinway. a purist DJ would only use technics. but it doesn't mean that they're not shite at what they do. it doesn't matter what equipment you are using. you can be a spoiled shit and own 5 grand of equipment and be completely useless.

DJing should be something selfless anyway. you're doing it foremostly for the entertainment of the people dancing in front of you. I take a look at the booths of clubs i've never been to before to see if there's something new i've not seen before being used. I don't criticise the DJ for using a Macbook. fuck that.

"oh yeah and I use a big Bozak mixer, so all you fakers out there with your faders and your EQ knobs can bite me."

what kind of attitude is that to have?

The argument is about the equipment itself, not the brand.

A better analogy would be the guitarist all of a sudden using a program that makes him sound much better than he actually would on a guitar.

Would Traktor actually make one sound better? The whole digital vs. analog debate aside, I didn't think the sound quality from Traktor was all that great, even when using 320kbps mp3s. Maybe it was because Traktor does decompressing and pitch adjustment on the fly or I was limited by my CPU.

As far as making one sound better, all I can think of is auto-beatmatching. I suppose you're less likely to trainwreck, or can have the program recover a bad beatmatch for you.

it also shows that it doesn't matter what you use, you can't polish a turd and the cream rises to the top.

probably not, but like i said, if you asked them, im sure they would give their respect to records

at house parties ive played even the clueless people started to ask me why i dont play records after i switched to cdjs

switching back to techs and digital interface very soon
