*throws race bannon on the bon fire with all the other tabloid tossers* |
I apologize Gibbo, it wasn't my aim to sound negative or twist your words about. I got a bit carried away just because I am interested in this project and know a couple things about recording. Still, my fault. |

I really think so :) We should first get more experience here and understand what we actually want to get as the final result. Just discuss it here... |

This is what I have been waiting for, mates - we all will come together and make a 9 hours liveset like Tiesto next week, just because we will not choose four DJs :) |

In relation to the post by Johnny Eckhart, dont take this the wrong way but what you said is utter crap! What you described is NOT Djing it's studio production, using a computer to do a mix for you cheating plain and simple. You don't see clubs with computers in them do you, and you never will. When your playing live you cant just stop and think "Oh I should have started the mix a few bars earlier"
Djing is about reading a crowd, knowing when to bring them up and down, building a set your crowd can relate to using platter control, eq-ing, beatmatching, scratching, and what ever else you can drag out of you tables and mixer, in real time. I'm a purist in the meaning that I would prefer to use only vinyl, but I have used CDs, and most CDs do not beatmatch for you, it is easier but you in no way can compare CD mixing to using a Computer.
If this little thing we are going to put together is going t be computer enhanced by any of the mixers, the name should be changed from " Tranceaddict Mix Competetion" to "Computer generated Compilation Challenge".
Just my purist 2 cents, Hope I didn't offend anyone, that was not my intent. I just bugs me to know that I've spent years developing a skill, that people can mimic using a computer, I think it cheapen's the entire profession. |

How about - everybody just chills out for a second and thinks about what they're arguing about. I think that everyone should just submit their names into this thread if they want to participate - and then worry about everything else once people have been voted for.
At the moment, a lot of people are bickering, yet only four people will be involved anyway!!
Let us let new applicants sign up here, and sort out the details later
**big smilie here**
**but no big smilie, so lots of small ones**

He basically hit it righ ton the nose. Wait till you actually have something worth bickering about. For all we know this will go nowhere. I am personally glad to see such a great response for this.
Which is why i think it will go somewhere but who knows. |

That's exactly why I was asking about some of the programs that are out. I don't use them, so I don't know. So far, I haven't used any computer programs that will do the mix for you, I imagine there must be some out there, now that I think about it, I just haven't seen them. As far as clubs with computers in them....many have them. Your samplers, Efx processors and the like are computers. I hear of many DJs, now that plug in their laptops and use them for various things (certain EFX and lord knows what else).
You said: When you're playing live you can't just stop and think "Oh I should have started the mix a few bars earlier" Well, actually, that happens all the time....but there's nothing you can do about it because you are "live".
Also it was said that "it's not DJing. it's studio production".
Ok...I guess I should have mentioned about doing things in real time as opposed to editing, remixing etc. But the fact remains that today's DJs have many more options and accessories at their disposal and should use whatever it takes (in real time) to achieve what they want their listeners to hear. (of course, that doesn't mean slapping on a pre made mixed CD and then fakeing the rest....which I've heard of people attempting to do before.....that's not DJing).
It was also said "computers don't have style" Well for that mattter, neither do turntables, mixers or any other equipment...that can only come from the DJ and how he/she uses them. |
