definately not true
he has done live bootleg mixes
quite a few actually
and whenever he uses scratch live, he always plays his "signature sound" using his sampler devices. |

The thing is, you see alot of these big name dj's jumping on this bandwagon but I think its only because they can simply afford it. I'd love to incoorporate a laptop into my sets among many other things but I know, with my current financial situation, I simply can't do that right now and I know most are in the same boat as me.
I guess what I am trying to say is that it is nice to see dj's utilizing all of these new technologies but it really gives people a fale interpretation as to what a dj is today. I think we are still a ways away before, let's say, cds begin to completely dominate the dj scene as a whole or using laptops. |

| So, when a DJ uses two laptops, what kind of beat matching is involved? Is this handled entirely by the software of his/her choice? If so, this seems to take away at least one element/skill that a DJ should possess, right? Of course it would allow one to focus much more on programming, phrasing, track seletion, etc. All of which are clearly necessary skills. Just got me thinking, that's all. |

| I do an Ableton DJ set about 80% of the time but always bring CDs as a backup. it also depends on the gig, sometimes its just not worth it to set all that stuff up, especially between two djs, it can be a real pain in the ass for all those involved. |
