Yeah man, it's a tough, tough world we've all gotten ourselves into here. Posting on almost ALL BLACK forums and going to college and stuff. I mean -- SHIT. Crazy. Wacky even.

I smell drug addiction alllllll over this one RJTeacher.

For the record, Traktor works wonders as far as conveying phrasing and beatmatching visually in ways I couldn't manage to say at all eloquently.

Very cool idea. Please keep us posted on this. I'd like to know how he is fairing in the next couple months (if you decide to do this soon, that is).

Just made it around to this thread and I must say that the above quote was the most random, surprising, and... completely ridiculous thing I've read all week.

I don't understand how getting a kid involved with a great hobby while his parents are going through a divorce has anything to do with failure and drug addiction. And prior to that quote, I don't think RJT was giving you any 'shit' whatsoever. You became ultra defensive and, well...

Basically, you're an idiot.

get him a setup and some tracks. teach him some beatmatching, explain some song structure, start with some basic transitions, and then expose him to pro djs. extensive eq work, filters, effects, etc., should probably be learned later on. with all the resources available online, it should be easy breezy.
