John Digweed's Going Digital
| quote: | | As a performing DJ, John Digweed is known for having stayed with tried-and-tested vinyl and CDs when playing live – in stark contrast to his long-time collaborative partner Sasha, who was an early champion of custom DJ controllers and laptop-based DJ sets. But after years of waiting for the technology to be sufficiently mature, Digweed says he’s now ready to make the plunge into a laptop-based setup. “I’m probably going to be switching to Native Instruments’ Traktor Scratch,” he confides. “I’ve got the guys from NI coming down next week to run me through it and make sure I’ve got it right.” Asked about his decision to go with Traktor over the many competing software packages, Digweed reveals he’s done his homework. “I looked around, and I asked around, got the feel from everyone I could, and there were a lot of people using Traktor - Carl Cox, Nic Fanciulli, Deep Dish, even Richie Hawtin – that told me how much they enjoy using it. These are colleagues I’ve known for many years, and they were all recommending it.” |
