Have you ever heard Oakey mixing for real? Its a JOKE! Refer to his recent Radio 1 Essential mix @ Cream Amnesia ;)
Oakey can mix well, check his older sets for that. |
4 real... in 99 he opened Guildford Uni Fresher's week, and sounded amazing... one of the reasons i picked up on trance was cos of that night.
But if u listen to that radio 1 Cream set, the mixing (and actual tune selection) is just random and crap. |

who really gives a ....i hate this whole argument, it is kind of like the whole cddj's vs vinyl dj's....some people are just hung up on the "stereotypical dj" and if the dj he admires is seen spinning cdrs he loses all respect for him.....
god dammit people have we forgotten what this is ALL about...
ITS ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC!!!!!
christ people all the tracks u hear on vinyl were produced on a computer anyway, whats the big in deal. if u can groove to it and it makes u feel better about yourself who gives a if its being played on vinyl, cd, final scratch, laptop, etc.......
ive done gigs before using %98 cdr's the whole time, then afterwards people would come up....and be like "great set!!!, i loved this, this, etc......." then they see my book of cdr's and are like..."pffft" nevermind u use cd's. that kind of pisses me off. get with the future, vinyl will not always be the strongest media for djs in the future, get use to seeing alot more laptops, etc....:whip: |

If it's all "just about the music" then why the do you idolize DJs and worship them so?
No self-respecting DJ would cheat his audience. And they earn millions of bucks. Read that again: Millions of $$$$. While some talented young DJs are forever stuck in a rut because they can't get famous and develop their career because of connections, networking, etc.
Did you know that the Beatles would always refuse to have pre-recorded concerts because they had certain principles and morals as musicians, and they believed (correctly) that their fans deserved better?? |

If it's true that Pro Tools can automatically mix tracks well enough for using this approach to save the DJ time (in comparison to actually spinning the set), then I believe that radio stations should demand real live sets and give lesser known DJs a chance on the decks, instead of having computer mixes. If Paul Oakenfold doesn't have enough time, there are tons of DJs (who may even be better technical mixers) that would like a shot at it. That said, I doubt that they're using Pro Tools because it saves time.... They mix albums in Pro Tools because they want them to sound perfect. I'm not sure why they use it for radio gigs. |
AUTOMATCAILLY? u got a page to confirm this..im uber curious |

| Me on the other hand I feel the opposite I think its ok to use the comp on radio shows but I dont think its ok to use them on cds. I mean think about it a cd is something ure supposed to put ure soul into, cds arent radio shows, they dont come out every week and i thinkas an artist you would want ure cds to be the very best, and also want to think that u did them. I mean I dont see from a personal stand point how someone would use the computer to mix their cds, but I mean this is the industry as it is now. |
