The only people who are afraid of technologies like software, CDJs, beat counters and this thing are people who didn't have any artistic ability to begin with, and without all those pointless technical tasks, they're nothing.
You know you just totally contradicted yourself there mate.

Quoting Lucien Foort
House was ooit house. Een gevoel, een scene, een stroming die recalcitrant was. Waar je 's middags in Outland Records, Basic Beat, Hotsound of Kareltje netjes op je beurt wachtte om platen te scoren die je in de nacht ging horen. Waar als Roderick & Anne Fleur gingen hockeyen, Jack stoer verklaarde: “Laat er house zijn en housemuziek werd geboren”. Waar ongelovigen toch predikten “God made me funky, and I’m glad He blessed me this way”.

Mixmeister keys nicely, surely there must be a way to export that (in fact I think I did once, not sure though).

He says that art is about creating things rather than messing around with keys and such, and then he says that people who can't do the technical stuff never had any artistic ability to begin with.
A good dj knows if they are harmonising or not and makes the necessary adjustments, without software.

That's not what I've read.

This means those people lacking artistic ability are only good at the technical tasks. Not that they suck at it.
I can't read his mind or speak for him, but I think it's obvious.
