Although I didn't send out the first message - telling the world that this system is lame - here are some of my reasons:
- Clubbers look up at "hoping that one day..." (they will turn into a large processor *not* that will be a large DJ)
- Loss of talent - big DJ's with no production talent out of work
- If Production DJs cant spin - god help us (eg Paul Oakenfold)
- The DJ box will have bouncers guarding the PC. DJ Box empty of talent :p
- The groupies all stand around talking to a PC not the DJ
- I have to go to festivals advertising "Main Stage: HP3220, and Chillout Room: PB542"!!
- I will have to sit down and become a programmer before I can spin in a good club :(

I don't neccesarily think automatic software mixing machine is lame, I mean beatmatching ain't that hard, a computer could string together a set easy.
what I think is lame is the way it reads your pulse, and tries to play songs the dancefloor likes. I mean, there could be some hot chick out there making all the guys hearts beat fast when an ATB track was playing, then all you'd here all night would be cheese!
whereas a real DJ would just stare at the hot chick and screw up his mixing. |

Nup, semi Impossible.... how the can a computer know what track i want by my pulse??? or whatever the it measures?? And i think it would be cheeper to just hire a DJ than to buy this comp and maintain and upgrade and all the wrist bands and ... i think is BS and Hp wastin their money... Unlees its a Geek Rave where comp geeks gather up or some... Hey wait arent we all Geeks...:D
hehehe

About beatmatching not being that hard for a pc....this goes for sofware that automatically beatmatches your tracks too....
I'd love to take on such a computer and beatmatch a piece that has only a vocal, or only some pads...pretty much everything without a kick in it haha that takes a GOOD EAR and puters don't have a good ear. Rhythm you have it or you don't :rolleyes:
And this idea is obviously made by some geeky programmers who aren't fanatic clubbers. Otherwise they would not come up with a idea that, when implemented, would reduce the scene to something I don't wanna be part of. Spinning is an ability, an art, not anyone can do it and it takes skill. A PC can't kill that. That why I don't mind about this kind of "new inventions". They only make little commercial kiddies happy, the true scene don't give a damn. |

That would never happen...
"I going to see PVD"
"I'm going to see a computer"
...not quite the same is it?
And as for editing existing tracks - that is the most ridiculous idea I have ever heard. |

i agree it's bad for the djing scene and all, but you must admit that the inventor is a pretty smart dude... and probably has too much time on his hands.
it says that 1/3 of the clubbers were fooled. well if the system is refined a bit, sooner or later, it's gonna get better, and well all be played for chumps. besides, if it does churn out good music, and everyone has fun, who's gonna complain at the end of the night when they realize it was a computer that mixed the tracks? |

See, there's the big point... It's not mixing tracks, it's just making up it's own ones... The article says...
"The system monitors reactions to certain sounds and uses this to create tracks designed to keep them dancing."
See....? ! |
