i give it the big thumbs down.

This iPod thing is getting out of hand....

Posted by mndeg on Aug-16-2005 05:14:

this kinda cheapens djing
lol

Posted by wrzonance on Aug-16-2005 05:26:

kinda cheapens?

just watch the indie whores mix their Tortise, and Autecher with these babies.

god i will never buy a numark product ever again, not that i ever have, but this just solidifies my resolve.

edit:

i hate steve jobs
i hate numark
i hate life

fortunatly, since you can't adjust the pitch, pro-djs won't give a shit about it, but the rich-indie-yuppies will eat it up i'll bet.

Thats it im selling my techs and getting me one of these babies!!

I hope u figured i was being sarcastic......

Posted by mndeg on Aug-16-2005 07:36:

haha, didnt even realize there isnt a pitch slider

what the hell, what are you supposed do with it? crossfade from one song to another?

Posted by Abhay on Aug-16-2005 07:41:

heh,

Djing is a dying art...

numark is going to make money off of it. I think its a cool idea. Don't hate just becuase its a decent idea. Meant for a different person than something like techs.

It's meant for someone who doesn't know what dj'ing is about..

If you pitch all your tracks before hand then I guess you could tear up the dance floor with some really bland mixing... heaven forbid that you have to make a correction.

There is a big backlash against the dance scene in the UK at the moment. A lot of people are starting to forget about big name DJs and formats etc and actually go to illeagal parties again (Nothing new in that) but it's getting to be a bit more common. Have played a few myself.
A lot of the stuff that's being played is older stuff and frankly speaking I can kinda see why. There is too much trash these days.

Aye, didn't say it was a bad think. May just be what the industry needs. Re-invent itself and create some new heroes.

You've got to be kidding. Now it is horrible.

Meh, I've always hated gimicks... this is hopefully just another one that will die. Unfortunately unlike other "no name" (to most average consumers) brands Apple will make this product sale just because of the iPod.

As for Numark? Well look, now Numark is on the map for most people who originally said "nuwah?" So even if it flops, Numarks name is out there even more.

Bah. I can understand why it could be "cool" to some. But jesus, this ipod thing has gone just too bloody far.

I <3 ONE MOUSE BUTTON COMPUTERS

I wish he would stop using the word DJ in relation to the use of this product............

Sometimes products look better after they do the sales pitch. Not this one, still crap.

Posted by sayang on Aug-17-2005 14:47:

where the hell is the pitch control??!

Posted by Nemesis44 on Aug-17-2005 17:10:

Having watched the video and listen to him try and sell the thing I realise that this product is created for brainless fuckwits!

It has NO use in the proffessional environment. None, Zip Nada... Fuck all, ya hear me!!!

This is not created for the dance industry, it's a gimmick for students.

THANK YOU!

I agree completely.

WTF?!?!?!

y the fuck is there 2 ipods...

u should be able ot just use one, they have to get around this...

this is a fuckign stupid design...

I don't have a problem with this, and if i did, i'd be a hypocrite, because i've hooked up a mixer to my laptop. but seriously, they could've spent some more time thinking things through.

Posted by T-Soma on Aug-18-2005 08:51:

I think the reason you cant just use one ipod is because of the way the ipod is because one ipod isnt fast enough to be able to play two songs at once. Unless they remade the mixer so that it downloads the songs and uses loads of internal memory but thats going to far for something that is only a toy. I could be wrong about this though...

Posted by ThomB on Aug-18-2005 14:29:

why anyone would want to buy 2 iPods is beyond me - and using them to Dj with just seems a little weird - people have enough of a problem with people like Sasha using Ableton - can't really see anyone beiong taken seriously carrying in two little white boxes....looks like it would be good for a bedroom mess about but other than that cant be taken seriously

Posted by Wraith on Aug-20-2005 03:07:

But guys, it has easy to use iluminated buttons!!!! That surely must be worth something. I really like how he mentioned that someone with a $10000 set-up would be interested in this and because of this bars will be starting open i-pod nites. This thing is made for two purposes to fill Steve Job's pockets with more money and ruin Numark's cred in the DJ world even more.
