Not anymore. He needs CDJs or Turntables for Serato. He uses a Synth on one mac and Ableton on the other.

pics or stfu

Here you go sir! It looks like he actually has two copies of Ableton running.

I know this is a slight thread hijack but I actually have the privelage of sharing the DJ Booth with PvD next Friday.

Cheers

I'm really not into all this just using laptops - I know it's the future but I haven't seen a DJ rock a crowd using laptops.

I don't mean the music doesn't get the crowd but the DJ him/herself doesn't get the crowd going when using lappys.

As for PvD, I've seen more charisma in a sausage roll.

Yeah,I have heard that, but last time I saw him I was not fit for speaking so frankly I don't remember. This time I have to be sober.

Britney should try investing a tiny percentage of her money into a decent camera! Funny how a video surfaces a day after their divorce. Looks like Kevin is out for revenge! A source told US Weekly magazine: "He has threatened to release raunchy footage of the two taken before Spears looked pregnant." This is the hottest scandal since the release of the Paris Hilton Sex Tape! Its not conclusive but damn, if thats Britney she can really wax a pole! This is what weve all been waiting for.

Get out of here you stupid idiot. Some of us are at work/school.

MODS: Please ban this guy

well i saw it in cream using the laptops and the 4 hour set was immense. rocked the place. even at the end everyone was still standing in a trance (no pun intended). was the best set i ever saw from dj.

i saw m.i.k.e a few days earlier using cdjs and the set was utter shit. never saw a niteclub empty so quick in my life.

You missed my point - I have also seen PvD at Cream in Ibiza and yes, his set was very good but my point was he didn't rock the crowd, like say Eddie H or Carl Cox would.

All laptop dj's have to spend so much time staring at their screens that they don't have the time to interact with the crowd.

Please prove me wrong if you know anyone who does....

I played with Mike about 3 years ago on two occassions, first time he used a laptop and after that vinyl and CDs.
To be fair he actually rocked it but he didn't live up to my expectations, not sure if that's a reflection on him or me...

What made the room empty when he played this time?
