| honestly judging by the response of almost everyone in this thread, i dont blame those DJs for not wanting to actually get into the "real" DJing when there's nothing but haters here. There are so many different types of DJs, don't bash on a particular kind, if they like mashing songs together and it doesnt even sound good then who cares? it's not like you're a pro dj, and even if you were why would you want to discourage someone from becoming one, ANY type of DJ, they have to spin the you like and use the equipment you use to be a DJ? the fact that it bothers you so much just shows how lame this thread is. |

i dun care about how they mix and or how it sounds .. what annoys me the most are ppl who knows jack abt djing or equipement setup.. and they buy all the best equipment... (and what i mean by that is ppl who don't even know what a cartridge is .. or what a stylus is .. or how to balance a tonearm .. ) and they keep asking u what is a cartridge?? what does it do?? .. what is a stylus?? and what does it do?? ..how do u balance a tone arm? .. thats really pisses me off ... why the hell would they buy something they didn't know how to use.. at least do some research before buying all ur stuff .. god .. sometimes i wonder why they bother .. its like if ur really interested in djing .. u would have known all these things already coz ur interested in it and its not like all those information are not on the net. :whip: :whip: :whip: |

| Well, I think of it this way...if it was only good dj's buying equipment in the first place then most dj hardward companies would not make enough profit to produce good equipment. So the more demand there is for equipment, the cheaper and better stuff we get. Besides there is always people like this even with stuff like sports. People have a nature to feel like they fit in. |

there's not any problem with Traktor, I think you can learn a lot with it.
when I use Traktor I did not call myself a DJ, I felt that I wanted to do everything bymyself without the help of a computer. but still you can create great journeys with it, and use a lot of creatyivity.
it just took me 2 weeks after djing 1 year with traktor, to get beatmatched tracks with my CDJ's, so to be honest I don't feel so proud over Traktor Dj's that I know how to beatmatched.
Beatmatching it's a skill a DJ needs to mix tracks, so that will not make a difference with you and another DJ's, Creativity and originality it's what will make you stand out from anothers.
For me it's easier to beatmatch with Cdj's than Traktor.
What you said should be directed to the people who make no sense mixes, as you said witht he top 5 tracks and thinkt hey are the next big DJ, that's very stupid from them.
but for people who make serious mixes with traktor, you hsould think that they are not good, or are not valuable, beacuse you can listen to creative mixes with traktor, while th eother side ther eis someone who knows to beatmatcvh with vinyls or Cdj's, but make nosense mixes. The creative mix should have more respect from me.
on Traktor you sdo osmething, if you us e aprogram like mixmeiter then you are probably not doing so much.
my advice is jut not get against all software Dj's, because there are some good ones out there. |

Who cares mate, they arent doing any harm to you.
I think there is nothing wrong with software DJ's. Some people bitch about Ableton and stuff, well if its so easy why don't you do it. I think what matters is what is coming out of the speakers. If a person has no talent beatmatching or phrase matching or harmonic mixing and poor track selection Ableton wont save his ass.
Its same as calling a person who plays soccer just to mess around a poser because he isnt trying making any money from it just wanted to kick the ball around and give it a try or something. |

Basically, that's all that needs to be said. Sure, it may be frustrating to see people getting attention for putting out an inferior product, but these things sort themselves out. The e always sinks (and stinks) to the bottom, but the innovators and masters of the trade stand out.
I'd say, do your thing, and respect these radio mixers as much as you can, because hey, at least they're interested in DJing. And with any luck, their motivation will lead them to somewhere like Tranceaddict, where they will turn into the best, most knowledgable elitist flamers on the planet who know all there is to know about trance :p |
