It's a preprogramed performance. He builds up 2 cds whith the songs already set the the right pitch. It's hardly real dj'ing. It looks slick on the competition stuff but i really think it's a load of crap. he might as well run ableton.

True...but each one he does...takes over 90 hours to make. Sorry, it's a lot harder than sitting at a turntable and mixer for an hour or 2

dling...I never ever ever liked that first routine, and I saw it so many times at so many different events, and it was always the same exact thing.

I hope this one is better.

They aren't Trance...as he doesn't play trance.

Also, he played he same routine for the same reason I stated above for the albaton thing

So the fact that it takes a long time to preprogram one of these sets stops any sort of ability for variety, and being spontaneous? Hm...first of all I dont think thats true and second of all, that certainly wouldnt make me want to buy a dvj.

Anyways, I'm just not feeling these dvjs, I mean I think they would be nice to add visualizations to a set, but that could, and has been done long before the dvj. I mean all this does is jump between videos, jumps between different spots on the videos and plays different parts of the videos farwards/backwards/forwards/backwards/forwards/backwards/annoying studdering/backwards/annoying studdering etc.

Sure you could say the same for the cdj, all it does is play the music forwards/backwards/studdering/looping/jumping between tracks/different points in the track, but thats totally different, because these qualities work right along with electronic music...because thats essentially what it is it works with the form of a track. Video just isnt the same, doing these little tricks to video is just annoying...well I guess thats why alot of people find electronic music annoying...

I don't know the plus's to DVD's...but I heard it somewhere you can put full 24bit 96000khz, and have up to 9 seprate tracks spit up from a program like pro tools...and have the ability to bring in each part (such as bassline, lead) whenever you want. (Am I right? Clear me up if I'm not)

What other Product on the market has the ability to do such things as the DVJ? Scratch DVD Video is massive

The DVJ has been given MANY awards for being the product design and technology.

It is a great product, but not one thats really got a place in the EDM scene as its more todo with the actual music, but for mainstream crap and MTV this is a top tool, although I have heard of various DJs like Zabiela using them abit, but not doing preset sets like 2nd Nature, Zabiela and the like just go with the flow when on them.

I don't think the DVJ has the ability to do that seperate tracks things at once, like play a drum on one and a kick on the other, DVD is higher quality and I do think DVD is able to do this, but I don't think its a feature on the DVJ, as for other programs, Ableton can do what you said easy, screw 9, you can have 20+ if you want, as many as you want aslong as your computer can take it.

Its a top peice of gear, and 2nd Nature does a good set, be it preset or whatever, and even though I've played on them and it was fun, if I was given one I'd sell it and buy things that are more lets say sensible for EDM music.

that video was fuckin wack, and i don't mean that in a good way.

someone post one where the DJ has good taste in music!

(note, i have no doubt the guy is skilled, but so what, the choice of music sucks.)
