Sheesh...

I don't play pool very often but I'd bet money that I could thrash you.

Yeah, why not? But it doesn't make you a suitable choice for a pool teacher. An article like this needs someone who knows their shit.

I know my shit. I've seen pro 8 ball players and the only thing that seperates them from me is they have practised so much they are more consistent. Just because I don't play pool very often doesn't take anything away from my ability at it.

i'm just saying i've never heard him do anything besides straight beat matching...so i'm just surprised that he knows how to scratch...

honestly? armin is NOT like others - he CAN spin/scratch

i think i'll say whatever i want thank you. maybe if he incorporated some of these other skills besides just straight up beat matching...he would be unlike others. i'm not ragging on him just because it's armin and i don't like what he plays...i'm just saying i don't think i've ever heard him scratch or do any other turntable trickery in anything i've ever heard from him...so i don't think i'd want to take his advice on the topic...

Recently Armin commented on one of the world scratching competitions,he said it's all about having your own style, he didn't say you have to mix like that exactly to be a proper DJ
(do mad scratches and spin 360� on TTs while juggling vinyls behind your back), just to be unique, hence he has his own style, and I reccon that's what's on page 42. if you don't like it, don't read it.

i agree you don't have to do that stuff all the time...you're right. but i'm sorry i've got to laugh when you say armin's style is unique hehe... there is nothing unique about it...it's probably as basic as you get...but really, there is no point arguing about this because i don't care what you have to say and you don't care what i have to say...

You use a piano.

Or a keyboard, or possibly a program if you are that lazy.

Unless you actually know music (omfg a dj that knows music? do those exist?) and then you can usually know what key its in just by listening to it...

Try to play the song on the piano, find out the main key that way.

Well what part of the song, just the main melody? Bassline?

I'm not good at musical theory, so I'm not the best person to ask.

I guess it would be the bassline at the start of the tune, coz you don't mix in the middle.

given it isn't a music-based magazine, and it's directed to a market not particularly focused on dance music, how much more were people expecting? I find it funny you're all arguing over who should have given a scratching article, how much were you expecting to learn from a column in a magazine aimed at people who've never played before?

the article = mad lame

All the notes will be in the same key. Some songs do change key mid-track to keep energy levels up, but not many EDM tracks do this. I suppose a good example would be Faithless- Insomnia, the hook changes key in the breakdown.
