yep! lmao. markus also does the same in interviews, saying how a lot of the DJ's out there are producers that have released a radio hit and now have huge tours to do, without a good knowledge of DJ'ing and how to read crowds, etc. he brings a good point because you hardly see bpm chart dj's play sets longer than 1.5 - 2hrs.

Seems kinda of kludgy to me but I guess its better than doing a pre-recorded show. Why not just have a 4 channel wav with SMTP and click tracks in the additional channels? The CDJs I'm sure don't suppurt more than 2 channel audio. I guess CDJ5000s? lol

Agree, it's not the best solution. A lot of times I wonder why EDM DJ's still use a VJ to sync the visuals to the tracks when You can make a video of them and play them through Serato. I mix videos pretty much every weekend and Serato makes it so easy, that it's no different than mixing two tracks. Off course, you can always get very creative too.
