Shame, ha. It's all about the end product. If it sounds good on the dance floor what difference does it make?!?!
You need to understand a few things about Ableton.
1) The only thing Ableton make easier is beat matching and I don’t view beat matching as the thing that makes you a good DJ or not. Beat matching is just a maintenance item you must learn to be able DJ with CD's or vinyl.
2) Being that you dont have to beat match it gives you more time to be more creative with your mixes, in way you could NEVER with CD's or vinyl.
3) Quite being an elitist and evolve, it's better with Ableton.

Right. Now consider that the guy still manages to trainwreck regularly and then consider the post you replied to a second time.
but there are definately a lot of people out there who know how to bullshit and market their way to success just by basic techniques by making people think they're good. For example, another technique used by RnB Djs is to fully pimp themselves out, with expensive gear and bling and clothes. Just making themselves look good alone makes people think they are good, and develops a followoing.
The most successful DJs in the market usually have skill as well as marketing.

i understand what you are saying about being more creative and not having to beat match, but you can be just as creative using four decks, beat matching is easy. and i said that i could sound better as a joke.

He must not know how to use Ableton.
I reconsidered, he sucks.
