the only reason to have so many mixers here is honestly...probably just to show off.

although you could put multiple dj's working at the same time...I have seen it done here in Dallas before. But this is rarely done..and i dont think very practical.

I guess if you two people working off each other real well. Then that could work.

if the mixers are different models it could be just that some DJs playing there prefer to have this or that mixer...

at the club I am resident, we have like 4-5 mixers...just cuz everyone likes to work with different shit...I can say I honestly love pioneer mixers...

For some time there was a problem and I had to use a DJX700 by Behringer...it was kinda lame that after two parties the faders started to fuck up.

I've actually played on that setup and the audio setup like a 2x4 setup. The middle DJM-1000 is like the main control station that keeps the other mixers linked. Since this is a VJ/DJ station, it's set up so that a VJ and DJ can play simulateously. Since you have the DJM 1000 in the middle, you can then also allow for a third dj or laptop performance as well.

Wasn't that the setting for a promotional video done by Pioneer?

Either way, sure VJing seems cool and all but I think in the long run it's not what clubbers are about and will still have trouble catching on with the general dancefloor crowds. Most people on the nights I play are too into the music to worry about images.

Still there is a time and a place for everything.

Didn't think much of the write up by Pioneer either saying who needs a DJ when you have a VJ?
Well the answer is that you need a DJ when you want someone to read and understand the crowd, VJing as it is right now still requires a lot of preparation before hand and isn't spontaneus enough to cope with a true dance floor.

The writer of that article was definitely a "brochure" writer. But it is on the Pioneer Website. Actually, I see visual/audio collaboration of performance as an innovation to the taking the dj performance to the next level. While I don't see it kicking off with much success in the American Club Scene, mainly because far too many clubbers are too busy looking at each other, I can see it being an effective performance tool in the arena rave (or even underground rave/art festivals).

You are correct. That is a 2x4 setup.

I really don't agree with a lot of what you are saying here. I think a lot of the more "cutting edge" parties are making sure of high quality visuals and they end up becoming a huge part of the night.

We had a great VJ at a party on Friday with minimal DJ Ben Parris who was actually using a camcorder and a lightbox manipulating images on the fly and adding his own personal touches as he went on. He had a bunch of stuff going on, sure, but to say he wasn't able to move and progress his images along with the us dancers is false. Sure there are shitty VJs like there are shitty DJs, but I think as time goes on VJing is going to get better and better as new soft and hardware are released.

Yeah, I was at Mansion down in on SoBe last Friday for my birthday and I think they had some kind of dual setup as well where one guy was straight up DJing while another guy was VJing. It was pretty damn cool.
