Reading MacLife magazine and there seems to be a new wave of DJ's now using just a midi-controller & 2 iPads to DJ with. Seems like the next big thing in DJ technology.

iPod DJ'ing never really took off, so I doubt people are going to drop the money for two iPads just so they can use them as pseudo-decks with an intermediary MIDI-controller.

2 ipads? What a waste. Is it really so gimped you cannot have two decks on one?

The iPad obviously is a much better choice than the Lemur, so anyone using something like the Lemur will be better off using it and will be glad to see these developments.

For me personally I think it's pretty neat. I will probably buy an iPad some time in the future, and then I can also use apps like Griid to use it as an extra controller


This is also a good step to something like http://www.dumpert.nl/mediabase/106...e_toekomst.html

stop messing with ipads. go change your pad, and get back in the kitchen. Leave DJing to people that actually know what they're doing.

maybe for some midi control here and there, sure, but it will never replace cdjs/laptop dj'ing

who said it was to replace it? i think its cool to use two ipads

i never really saw the whole point to using ipads it just seems like someone had a bright idea and didnt really follow though
