or djs that think red lights lighting up on the mixer make everything sound more "phat".
I'm just messing with you Jay, I know what you meant.
On the other hand, Traktor is not the cause of bad DJing, it's just an era. I have seen people do crazy stuff and they were not from the turntable days.
From the minute we went from analog/turntable to digital/CD, we were already "cheating" when it comes to beatmatching.
A Monkey could do it. Everybody knows the 0.8 trick by now.
SO the sync button is not a far stretch from a CDJ.
But yeah, back in the turntable days, a lot of practice was required. It wasn't easy. But it's more about hard work vs lazyness then technology.
practice makes perfect, even with traktor...that being said traktor also leads to djs playing out that could benefit from a little more time in the bedroom.
traktor should be a tool to create an impeccable experience, so when i hear shoddy mixing in a traktor set i find it criminal that someone would pay a person to do the equivalent to nothing.
the autosync at the end of the break gets to me at times. this is a product of waveform mixing. Count the beats from the beginning and they will learn that there are other ways to mix in the track to create more drama instead of thye standard outro/intro mix.
traktor effects need to die in a fire, they are awful
you got to where you are because you learned martin...that is all i am saying. You can use traktor properly because of the understanding you gained while learning the old fashioned way of mixing.
either way bad djs are criminals no matter what the medium they use
sucking penis has become a career skill
blablabla 
JOHN JUSTER WILL COME PLAY SAXOPHONE ALL NIGHT SATURDAY! After great comments after my set at piknic electronik with him, i'm very happy to play with him again at that new bar!

The practice leads to you being better at improvising, reading the music, and creating appropriate tension and release instead of always pressing autosync at the end of a break. let me use Hakimm as an example here, because i remember when he was learning. The guy would spend weeks on end doing nothing but counting beats...he learned to mix on all platforms and because of this became a good dj. He didn't get that way overnight...which is what a lot of these other young guys think they can do. Tghe software isn't the problem, bad djs are...and the software makes it easier for them to butcher dancefloors, better? i know you get what i am trying to say martin. Don't tell me you haven't seen it with your own eyes in this town. A guy is playing 3 times a week, yet can't even grasp how to phrase the tracks or how to use an eq properly. Contrary to what many traktor djs believe...that really bad efx raping is not hiding any of it |

ahah té con!
I start djing in 90's for fun with 2 bad turntables until I replaced them by 2 Technics SL 1200 and after, Torq software with Turnatables, bought 2 CDJ 800 ,still have them in case and now using Traktor cuz tired to burn cds and stop playing them after 2months. I didn't mentionned I played with 2 tape decks when I was young just for fun. lol
So, yes I can understand with the new bedroom djs or young djs who start djing , they start with softwares less then hardwares. Like producing with gears,hardwares,wires,amps VS Laptops + Ableton or Cubase.
Everybody wants to be dj because of their music passion or need attention with girls! lol

First international DJ @ OP BAR
Jeff Fontaine & Lucie Lebel present :
SIMINA GRIGORIU
SONAT RECORDS BERLIN � PLATFORM TORONTO

ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
Simina Grigoriu is a Romanian-born DJ and music producer from Toronto. Since her move to Berlin in 2008, Simina has been playing in clubs and festivals, big and small, as well as building on her production skills. At first glance, she may not be the typical techno DJ you�d expect to stroll on stage at an East German open-air festival. But don�t let her furr...y boots and side ponytail fool you. Her DJ sets are intensely beat-driven yet have a melodic flow that move entire dance floors. Critical response to Simina's performances have been unequivocally positive, with audiences frequently commenting on her mixing skills and track selection.
Simina's musical career has been building rapidly over the last couple of years; her sound has spread throughout clubs in Toronto, Miami, New York, and all over Europe. She�s played alongside some of techno�s leading artists and, just earlier this year, performed as the opening act for the 2010 Berlin Calling Concert Tour with Paul Kalkbrenner. She has also been featured on industry-renowned radio stations including DI.fm, pulseradio.net and
motor.fm
With the release of her first EP, �Mukluks & Ponytails,� last winter on
Sonat Records, she went from playing venues of a few hundred to a few thousand people in the span of one year, selling out her records at every concert event.
