Originally posted by Zild Maybe you're talking about producers or something, but I'm talking about people who play other people's music. They're called DJs. And there is alot more to track selection and programming than just going into a store and picking out music. Like I said. Not everyone understands.

Yes, I was stating that if a track selection consists of not only great tracks, but ORIGINAL tracks then that DJ could be considered "amazing". All I'M saying is that it takes track selection AND mixing skills to be considered an "amazing" DJ. Track selection alone can make a "good" DJ, but if he can not mix, he will never be considered "amazing" in my book. How am I totally off with these statements?
I guess you don't understand.

Remember, I am quoting the word "amazing" that was used originally for the title of this thread. After stating Sasha's track selection, he also mentioned his mixing skills, which I agree would make a DJ "amazing".

All I did was agree with the others who said track selection > technical skills.

I don't know where you're getting all that extraneous shit from because I never said anything about amazing thats you. Also you're assuming I give a fuck about the original post. I don't.

Well, whoop-a-dee-doo-da.

PLUR

Actually its, "You better start showing some peace, love, and respect or I'm going to break your fucking faces." PLUR is just so limp wristed

Back to what I was saying. Any DJ worth his salt knows that track selection is so much more important than technical skills. That isn't to say DJs should not have technical skills because they most definitely should. Not everyone understand that though.

So THAT'S where we got off to the wrong start lol

You were talking about it being more important, and I was saying that it alone does not work.

And yes, I was being very sarcastic with plur.
