Armin decided to make a video explaining how he does his live sets mixing in tracks and their visuals all on-the-fly and in real time as a response to 'his colleagues' who claim it is impossible to do and say they need to have things set up in advance.
I think it is a pretty cool video and just goes to show why he is one of the top DJs in the world.
According to the description:
quote:
Armin van Buuren explains how he syncs his live visuals on-the-fly with four Pioneer CDJ-2000s and a DJM-2000 mixer using just SMPTE signal and fader start functions.
Surprised I didn't see this posted anywhere here yet as its own thread (I looked, so forgive me if it was and mods please delete).

That was pretty cool.

the thing thats always struck me as being so retarded about that "story", the people who tell it (and, to an extent, the people who believe it) is that like..since the dawn of time people have been shooting off pyro and lightshows at rock concerts....rock concerts are as live as live can be..how is it possible that millions of rock shows can pull it off but that a few swedish house mafiosos cant?
makes 0 sense

Huge props to Armin for making this and I love how he snuck in a couple soft jabs along the way. If anyone has experience with festival shows using pyro/laser/display sync it's him.
He needs to start sporting a "I'm a trance ganster" shirt. I think it's time for a Sneak and Armin collab.. lol

I noticed the jabs as well and loved them. He basically says he rules and proves it without saying it.

Not that most DJs are going to bother using all the capabilities of a CDJ... still pretty cool vid
