| Well i was just thinking to day about alll the new equipment out their and al the djs using tracktor and people bitching about cds vs vinil. And i just got a thinking, it realy dont matter what you use so long as you get your feeling acrose to the people. I personaly use both cd/vinil/a laptop but i use em all for different things, i dont think any of em's better then the other their all tools to help me get my music acrose, and just like tools they all have their uses. Anyways just wanted to point out its for the music not for the gear that we do this |

You should really look into getting a spell check. Handy piece of equipment that helps get your feeling across. :cool: Just messing with you. |

i was @ club the other night where the dj was play'n off a labtop......there is a difference.... the mixing was very dry and mechanical.......IMO that steals from the whole thing of have a live dj......i personally like hearing beats come in hard and mixes running long.......i'm not sure how it works on labtops but it seems to steal what having the a person up there is about.....might as well throw on a premixed cd
on the other hand when people wanna submit guest mixes to my site i have no problem how they made it .....if the mix is tight its tight......i just don't like comps in a live enviornment |

Mixing on a laptop/software is no different from cd/vinyl mixing unless you're doing a pre-recorded set or using programs that beatmatch automatically etc... |

I'm pretty sure there are some programs out there that do. I agree with you completely on live performances. I think mixing on a computer is pretty lame in a live setting -- especially when the focus is on the DJ.
Sasha is dropping the vinyl and going computer. What this means is I won't be going to any of his shows. Yes there are creative things you can do with a computer. Yes, I consider computer mixing real mixing just like anything else. No, I do not think it is cool to watch. |

| I think it always comes down to people just bitching about one being better than the other because they only have turntables, or only have cd-decks. I turntable mix, but if I had the dough, I would certainly buy come CDJ's. :D |

I'd have to agree on that one. |

| How you use equipment can make a difference. I regretably saw PVD last year, and his whole set was uninspiring and pre-programed. He didn't even interact w/ the crowd. Throughout his entire set, he just stood there behind his i-book. I know final scratch wasn't designed to replace turntables, but i have to admit, it's really bad just to have a dj that's not paying attention to the audience b/c he's spending more time messing around w/ gear and doing god knows what behind that notebook. Screw paul van dyk and paul oakenfold, Give me a dj that actually gives a damn about digging for records and performing. Give me DJ shadow, frankie bones, carl cox, and a whole list of others that are working their asses off and not necessary on the top 100 dj list. |
