beatmatching is synchronizing music with the aid of technology, correct?
isn't that something that most (none-soloist) musicians do when practicing and preforming?
if so, using your logic, synchronizing music is not a DJing skill.


as i imagine collage artists are not judged by how well they apply the glue but rather by how well they select the pieces to glue together...

No. It's adjusting the tempo of records (or any pre-recorded track in any format) so they're playing at the same speed in time with each other.

DJ skills are what seperate a DJ from someone just playing records one after the other. They are what make it a trade, an art and a profession rather than simply an act.

Anyone can be anything if they learn how

we're still making generalisations right?

EDIT> what is this thread about now?

Originally posted by Beethoven it seem that you are totally agree with me. however, if DJ is NO SKILL, can every DJ voted to be number 1?

So are you disagreeing with yourself?

No. Not all DJ can be number 1, BUT everybody can be a DJ. Your mom, your dad, your girlfriend, your little brother, and I believe your grandma can be a DJ too LOL

=D
