if i play someone elses prerecorded mix i could get caught, what if that person who did the mix was on the dance floor? Also with a laptop, it is harder to tell and people just assume the dj is a pro.

You do realize in most cases, you have to analyze/set up your tracks well before hand? its not all automatically right the 1st time everytime.

Make sure to post the demo here too. Looking forward to it.
in my drunken state of sleep dep i guess i wasn't too clear
the point i was trying to make was that it takes years of dedication, not just to beatmatch, but to understand track flow and how to read a crowd, beatmatching took me all of maybe a few months to get down solid, it's the other things you learn while learning to beatmatch that make you a good dj, it just doesn't happen overnight and with one program at the touch of a button
sure, you can skip the whole beatmatching thing, but there's no way you're going to get gigs
anyplace you play will be better off just slapping on a mix cd than to pay you for pushing play and standing there
