What the hell is wrong with today's live shows/ raves ? one word ....computers....Just because a Dj or Producer has become famous in the scene of trance the liveshows they do consist of nothing but laptops and cd mixers etc. I dont respect this anymore there trying too hard to make everything mix perfectly and getting rid of the skill involved...my respect and props tonight goes out to the local Dj's that spin vinyls live at their hometown scenes ......

i kind of agree with u on the laptop part but most djs use vinyl and cds. I see lots of artists use cds and vinyls. The skill factor is still there.

True, good point added but not considered by myself...think about it...i know that the music will sound amazingly great but the could play a loop playlist off their PC's and leave the stage go have a couple of drinks or even a power nap and return in an hour... soon itll be like that...im just sayin im sick of seeing djs click through that garbage instead of turning around using their head and trying to find a vinyl behind them ....

like this hasn't been beaten to death 3000 times. there is far more creative advantage with software... bottomline.
and i guess here comes a logical step you might of missed.
good artists want to be creative as possible.

lol. I agree with you to a point, but times are changing and technology is taking over the decks. Although, I would definately rather have Sasha owning people with Ableton than standing there with 2 vinyls.

Great, another elitist who's afraid of technology. Operating a stupid turntable doesn't give you a special talent. It just means you can operate an f-ing turntable. If that's all DJing is about to you, then there's no skill involved EITHER WAY. But no - it's about alot more than that. They could mix with pineapples for all I care.

if someone doesn't use vinyls, they're not a Disc Jockey. i'm not sure what to call someone that exclusively uses a laptop and CDs. CDJ? FJ (File Jockey)? there is a difference in the entire spectacle and the sound.
that's not to say that the experience is bad tho. but i wouldn't shell out cash again to go to a show to have some guy mix on a laptop. i recently saw G&D do this and it fucken blew.

When you read a document, does it matter to you if it was prepared on a word-processor or a type-writer?
