im from sweden and it does not mean that.
"lägg ägg far far skägg" means "Lay egg grad father beard" to be correct. so can you translate this: "om inte du är tyst nu så ska jag bäza din mamma"...it´s not nice, but in case you need it some times.

There is nothing wrong with playing with mp3 mixing software, If your not a DJ yet you would love to hear your mp3 collection in a mix like a pro DJ, Those softwares will help do the trick, Especially if you want to make your own mix CD with your favorite tracks, I use a program called AtomixMP3 2.1 and I aint no DJ, I dont want to be one, I use the software cause its fun to play your tracks and mix them with the others to create your own personalize mix, The fact someone had to go out of there way to tell that person to get the real thing is disrespectful cause all he wanted was the best mp3 mixing software, no real TTs, Not everyone can't aford the real thing cause maybe they dont have room for actual ones plus there very very expensive, So software mp3 mixing is the alternate solution.

It's not cheating, it's beginning with DJ-ing. I still use the prog too, but I want to buy some real equipment soon, computer mixing is very good to get to know mixing.

My computer !

Go ahead and flame me if you want for this, but.. I own turntables & a ton of vinyl and I still use programs like Traktor and Virtual Turntables. Why? Because my tables aren't nearly as portable as a laptop computer loaded with MP3 vinyl rips. With a laptop, I can experiment with different track orders and transitions while I'm away from home, then try out those changes on the decks when I am at home.
Mind you, I would never take my laptop to a club to mix! But for frequent travelers, it's nice to be able to "practice" while you're away.

Now the argument.. For those that use mixing programs CORRECTLY, they CAN be good learning tools. Just as long as you don't use the auto-beatmatch features - now that's cheating!

they first said they would roll out Traktor 2.0 in august, then they *discreetly* changed the date to late september, without explanation. give it 2 more months, bro. yes, it may not come out until halloween, so stick with v1.12 for now.

i ain't really fond of Traktor 2.0, tho. at 1029x772 pixels, it doesn't fit my laptop's screen. i saw the screenshot and it scared the crap outta me. fuck sake i'm not a closed-mind asshole, but i'm quite content with the old version, until i can afford $1,500 for a pair of decks and mixer, and $9,000 for all my tunes on vinyl.

ok i'm going to disagree with this sentence.

mixing programs are a pain in the azz. you have to deal with a keyboard/mouse, and be limited to your movements and have to think FAR too much about the commands when you should be thinking of beats phrases and flow.

I'm not sure exactly how much traktor 2.0 will be, but traktor 1 is not cheap! I've seen dual CD decks on eBay for about the price of traktor 1. add an inexpensive mixer, and you've got a basic hardware mixing setup that will teach you FAR more about how to mix than your PC.

don't get me wrong. I used MP3 mixing software for a good year... and it taught me alot.. but if I had to do it again with what I know today, I'd pick up a basic dual CD deck off eBay, and an el-cheapo used mixer... atleast then I wouldnt have to watch a CRT and punch buttons while learning

traktor 2 will hopefully be an improvment. I couldnt stand traktor 1.

^^^ Seems like you caught the contradiction in my post. Although I did say that it's more convenient getting the software package (and whoever said anything about buying it? ), I also said:

quote:

P.S. When I got my turntables I found that it was *actually* a lot easier to mix with than with software mixers, especially Traktor! This is because of the way that these programs are made. It's just such a bitch to mix with them because it's all clunky and cumbersome doing it with a mouse and keyboard. With turntables you use both hands and it's 100% manual, no bpm counters or other junk. Once you learn to beatmatch, you find that it's actually harder to do it properly on the computer than with "real" hardware.

I definitely agree.
