the device itself isn't bad at all. Great for long trips. It did come out a couple of years ago i believe but was one of the hot new items for that year.
you know what, I don't buy the "anybody" can be a DJ now days bs. What is wrong with that. It is a known fact that while anybody can DJ, only a few can develop a unique enough product with their sound to break through and make a name for themselves. So devices like this should be encouraged. It teaches people the basics and hopefully encourages them to take their hobby to a new level. |

This is what I've been saying for years...
DJ's and photogs...
The tech makes it so easy to do.
It really kills the artistry of it all... |

why even have a dj at all then? |
I've been saying for years we don't need DJs....play good music and no one will care who the DJ is....hell if the music is good I could care less if it's a pre-recorded set and someone just presses play.
The reality is that this scene is not about the music as so many people want to believe it's about. It's all about the DJ....which is really retarded when you think about it. |

it should def be about the music first and foremost. The problem with these auto mixing programs are a couple of things. And i will apply this to everyone from the basement "i cant mix a drink never mind a beat" djs right up to a lot of the pro international guys.
It takes away its organic feel. Every mix is perfect. Flawless. calculated and smooth. I miss the varied styles that djs would have. Cutting in and out, mixing in the middle of a track instead of waiting for the outro, etc etc. Now you drop it in tracktor at the outro and wait for the intro to ride in.. BORING!
DJs who cant even beatmatch. Thats like calling someone who microwaves food a chef.
So called djs with no skill who undercut the real ones. These are the guys that will come in and charge a club $50 or maybe even nothing because they pirated some program, illegally downloaded tracks and know how to do airport dj booth flight signals with their arms. This is why as a club owner id pay real money for real talent and if i caught someone using this device theyd be out on their ass.
The cool thing about these programs is that djs can remix tunes on the fly and do their own unique edits right on the spot. However there were days when acapellas, a crossfader and properly placed stickers also achieved this although not many could! (which made it even cooler) |

Yep. I ditched the laptop and now play on CDJs for some of the reasons you mentioned. |
