Richie Hawtin on his Traktor Scratch DJ setup - Pt 2

[EL3CTR0dream]

@gnowave

The argument was about DJs being musicians. Many DJs were musicians before they were DJs. They still are, DJs who dont play anything aren't. Producers are. DJ's by default are not.

Is a taxi driver who plays with the EQ and has good song selection in his cab a DJ. No, and a DJ isn't a musician for their DJing efforts alone.

[gnowave]

@EL3CTR0dream yep, your starting to speak my language bud. however, i am having big problems with these over pro-tooled little college trained hairdo shits at the moment, playing guitars tho they may aparently be, they too may as well be jukeboxes, all soundy-samey.

mind you many older guitarists seem over obsessed with others technique etc. i found as mtv kicked in, new music from bands became hard to find beyond greatest hits and soundalikey stuff. but yeh, i fully agree u

[matsgaylord]

FUCK AUTO SYNC MODE!!!!!!

[gnowave]

bloody hell! where do the batteries go?

[DJSEvEN72]

This is really thinking outside the BOX!

These guys are really artists, they are creative in the sence of making somthing new.

Jedimasters of music and mixing!, not only smashing 2 tracks into some shitty trashup!

[nedtrueica]

als ze zegge als je je muziek synct met een computer dat je dan geen echte dj bent is niet waar dan heb je gewoon meer tijd voor andere dingen

[dubadoobie]

[FunkyFierceOfficial]

@kaidan007: I can agree that BeatSync is good feature, but for those who can beatmach two tracks manually. I hate, when someone say that he is a DJ and only play on computer... Real DJ, must be able to mix two tracks together without computer, on CDJs or Vinyls. Than he could use computer to improve his skills with looping, sampling and other features that PC offer ;)

[gnowave]

@FunkyFierceOfficial its a bit confusing what you mean here. are you saying either this or that dj is real or not real? you mean THAN or THEN? am confused. u might be saying something good, but i cant tell.

[FunkyFierceOfficial]

@gnowave my bad, "then" of course ;) i've written that, person who would like to call himself as a DJ should be able to beatmatch tracks on CDJs or Turntables.

[gnowave]

@FunkyFierceOfficial RUBBISH, i kno many dj's who can manually beat match, it is still the equipment that does the work. besides, all most of them do is fade one tune out (albait beatmatched) into the next, instead of mxing and creating and making something new.

it is all good if something new is being create dont you think? besides, rithie hawtin(plastikman) can do many amazing things on cd, vinyl, and digital. so u saying he isnt a real dj?

[FunkyFierceOfficial]

@gnowave You don't understand me. I mean, that everyone who is able to beatmatch manually should call himself as a DJ and if he would like to improve his skills by computer he is still a DJ ;) Richie Hawtin is a great DJ. I hate, when someone call himself as a DJ when he haven't touched a CDJ or Turntable and play ONLY from computer. But Nevermind, i don't mean anything bad ;)

[gnowave]

@FunkyFierceOfficial ah right. i see, well, thats ok. also, even if u cant manullay beat match, it matters not, as long as you have something good u CAN create. not all artists paint. see wot i mean\?

[EL3CTR0dream]

@gnowave This is nonesense by the way. Take any band, now make them play a song without the rest. Watch them keep perfect time. Very few can do it, they are drummers and bassists.

[gnowave]

@EL3CTR0dream i see it done all the time mate. if you use equipemnt that keeps perfect time, then the band adapt to it, and it gets really interesting. think ozric tentacles? zubzub? transglobal underground? wadada? suns of arqa? prodigy? lion rock? groove armada? african head charge? all those bands are semi techno and live playing and all turn your words upside down , oh, not forgetting the orb,

[gnowave]

@gnowave and they are all capable of jamming with a DJ ( the orb as classic example) it dosnt matterr as long as good strong performances are enjoyed.

i dont care wheether i am seeing a live band, or a vynil, or digital dj. most are shit at all of it. and i just like the good ones from each with the bottle to step out of the box.

[gnowave]

@gnowave correct, its the artistry.

you kno, even jimi henrdix got slagged off by the older generation this his. the older people from the 50s thought it was his effects that were ding all the work and anyone with thoise effects could sound like that. so none of this is a new arguemnt.

how come folk into dj'ing and twechno listen to lots of diferent music and yet the "band purists" dont.

[EL3CTR0dream]

@gnowave Apparently not only are you stupid, but you lack the ability to read. I said Musician, not human jukebox. I am talking about REAL instruments in a real band, not an electronic group. The Orb, the Prodigy, and Groove Armada are all sync'd. Nice try.

[gnowave]

@EL3CTR0dream quit the arrogance you little fuck.

anyway, yeh i do actually agree and get what you are saying, but really all i was trying to say is, as there is this ongoing shit from guitarists about techno/dj's not being 'REAL" ARTISTS,  i was simply stating that many bands contain a combination and many of those bands have been the ground breakers of our times.

some one above mentioned too dj's just being human jukeboxes, well, i can say that of many bands too, covers covers covers.

[EL3CTR0dream]

@gnowave I am correct, not arrogant. But thanks for agreeing with me anyway :)

And sure, cover bands, no matter HOW good are just talented copy artists. I know, I was lead for a Dashboard/Sunday cover band in Portland back in the day. Sure I can sing, but I can't write lyrics for shit.

[gnowave]

@EL3CTR0dream wots wrong with being "synced"? does that invalidate how good they are as live acts and not just miming to a DAT tape as many so called elctro bands did in the 90s for eg?

i love dom from the orbs drumming, and their bass playing is next to none. etc. prodigy's guitar playing is shit hot, and groove armadas pool of class musicains is unbeatable. not to mention zubzub (ex ozric tentacles) totally live guitar/bass drums and techno and dj.

[gnowave]

@gnowave and tho a slightly diferent approach, the session musos on norman cook (fat boy slim) records are breath taking. a shame he never did any shows with them and merely "dj'ed" wot he's done in studio.

[gnowave]

@EL3CTR0dream but again, i cant help adding that the orb and the other bands i mentioned DO use live REAL instruments, seen them all often enough to kno. well worth checking out the full blown orb live set. dom the drummer is bloody brilliant,

[gnowave]

@EL3CTR0dream i agree totally with the drummer bass player part. dont you hate bands where the guitar folk always try to lead or dominate, especially the ones who cant dance? ha ha. yeh.

[EL3CTR0dream]

@gnowave I like bands where there is more then one "front" man. And rockers can't dance, thats kinda a given.

I love it when a DJ dances while spinning, and though I don't do it often, ones that run out into the crowd and dance with the people. That is the SHIT!

[gnowave]

@EL3CTR0dream chuckle chuckle. well when its not at a club venue and a genuine party it dosnt matter if he dances at dex or with the croud. its a party and about freedom,club is diferent, he's paid to work.

but yeh, most of my fave bands tended to b all front-men,or more than 1.

as most of the bands from difrent eras i am into r freak/trippy ones, then i get a constant break from being frustrated by pop/indie/rock bands and their naro little ways. technowise am lovin eatstatic

[gnowave]

@EL3CTR0dream actually, re-reading this, i am in perfect agreement. cool.

[gnowave]

@FunkyFierceOfficial  cool, guitar, synth, keyboard, vynil, cd, mp3, its all good.

[gnowave]

@FunkyFierceOfficial bullshit. traktor IS a turntable of sorts. wot diference does it make. u either create goos shit with it or you dont. this is as crappy as the arguement between techno and "real" musicians

[gnowave]

@FunkyFierceOfficial no, they can do wot they want and be good at it, they just hav to b an artist and create, or as electricdream sez, be musicians. sum folk like vynil, some cd's, som mp3s. who cares, its wotever medium you hav a working feel for. if its good, its good. many top dj's wud laugh at most of these comments

[gnowave]

@FunkyFierceOfficial it dosnt matter whether its vynil digital, or analogue, or anything... as long as someone genuinly creative is at the helm. or accoutstic, electic, effects, no effects... its either good or its not whatever it is. oh, and i like apples and pears too.

[gnowave]

@FunkyFierceOfficial

again, wether guitar, vinyl, mp3, cd, analogue, accoustic, its all one. reminds me of the 1980s arguments between trad comedy and alternative comedy. dumb, as either way, it made u laf or it didnt. wen i wa a kid, my pals mum thot that it was jimi hendrix's effects that made him sound so good. tut tut, it was years of had work that di it. which is just as tru with a vinyl or traktor dj. IF they r good

[MrdjHYPEr]

When someone learns to draw they don't have to learn how to use every medium perfectly. I choose not to learn the "art" of beat matching. However I do choose to learn the art of mixing, using effects in new ways to CHANGE how tracks feel, they're structure. Some people choose to learn it all, but use there favorites. That's what Rich has done.

[gnowave]

@MrdjHYPEr

yep, his gigs are very very intensly interesting. the ravers just dance and trance out, and the musicians at his gigs stand awe struck. its very good to catch him live. a nice man too.

[jaimiecurrie]

lol thank god i got an X1 haha

[michael34453]

I have huge respect for what Richie is doing with the art of DJing. He can basically take all his techno tracks and create an entire symphony of new songs live on the decks. This is where DJing is less of a guy playing some popular songs and more of a true musician performing!

[thachdarwin]

It's just awesome how you could scan through an incoming track and have it synced with the live track, and see how they sound together.

That's just plain crazy.

[vaspers]

You are a true altruistic genius Richie Hawtin. To share with others your secrets to success is quite remarkable. Thanks for being so kind.

[shishabruce]

@ 02:14: Did he taped the Crossfader? :)

 Hat er den Crossfader abgeklebt?

[gnowave]

@shishabruce taped? you mean with sellotape?

[gnowave]

@shishabruce taped?

[TheHW93]

Mein gott ey Auto sync ist nur ein werkzeug was Deejaying leichter macht.

das Mixen selber bleibt das gleiche bzw. es öffnet türen in einen welt voller möglichkeiten die manche einfach nicht sehn wollen weil sie ja noch mit beatmaching beschäftigt sind ..

[pav123456]

someone people just shouldnt call themselfs djs because they dont go through the same path djs go through end of the story. It means something to old school guys, so get dj off ur name thats all. Producers are better anyways and live acts are the shit.. But if u combine all of it together , now thats what were aiming for :) .

[gnowave]

@pav123456

yeh, at end of the day, is something good, new, and viable being made? i love the bands who use all of it. pink floyd and hawkwind and gong were parallel to what you are implying. their sound guys were part of the band really.

tho i think it would have been better for all three of those bands if LSD and their bands had started nowadays. better technology for them.

[gnowave]

@pav123456 most live acts r shit BECAUSE of modern producers. they use full-blown protools to make young bands dependant apon them. fact.

but u r right in that ON AVERAGE, most good dj's, vinyl or digital tend to be trained producers.

[RyanHyman1989]

if you are a creative DJ, who wants to use loops of multiple songs at once in your set, then I don't see the problem with using a sync function... in essence it is just an inconvenience of analogue DJing... if you can use that extra time to be more creative and make something better then use it... I don't see anyone complaining about Photoshopping images, sure you can do the same effects in a light room using specialist techniques, but why bother wasting your time?

[gnowave]

@RyanHyman1989 also 'real" photography effects are very poisonous. almost all dark room chemicals are very shitty and dangerous. and needless.

some may say, "yeh but power staions are dirty", and i say, yeh, but you can get your own sustainable power supply, and how many of the folk that complain actually do?

[QuantumLX18]

this is in no way cheating. if u dont adapt to technology as a dj u die. some people who go digital such as himself dont even consider themselves dj's anymore because there are no discs involved lol. they are without a doubt considered that way by the fans. this is creativity to its limit and what hes doing is actually very sophisticated. especially in minimal and tech-house. and with a sound as srict as minus and plus-8 you have to be creative. to him hes probably been doing wat he always did.

[gnowave]

@QuantumLX18 its the sma ewith these so called "real" musicians, most are copy cats so may a well be a jukebox themselves. and if they dont as modern musicians have full blown pro-tools (not the basic few 100 pound on, but the 5000 for the disc one) then you aint worth shit.

also with most new bands they are being made to be DEPENDANT on the protools engineers. they are a sneaky little cleek.

tho to be fair, it matters not a fuck how advanced you tech spec is. u r good or not, real or dj

[gnowave]

@QuantumLX18 its not true that those who stick to vinyl dj'ing die. if they make it as an art form and keep an audience they'll be fine. just as i still love to go see 60s psychedelic acts, and 70s space-rock acts, punk acts, acid-rock who use their original equipment and techniques. i still enjoy many lo tech accoustic and semi accoustic. the technology arquement is a bit dodgy. just enjoy anything good.

[AstorPirzola]

what monitors are they next to his macbook....very nice!

[liamofan]

Sorry richie its just cheating

[gnowave]

@liamofan BOOOOO, i hav been at private parties with these types of dj's, believe me, he aint cheating

[djnorts]

his so smart...make sense alot what his saying!

[tektube]

so now with this setup any 10 yo can be a dj mixing his free downloaded mp3's. technology ruined the music industry and the quality of music nowdays. as a clubber i hate to see a dj behind a pc, who is telling me his set isnt recorded at home and he is just messing with knobs? whats the next step? leave a hologram of a dj at the booth while dj is broadcasting his mix from home? gimme a break. my respect to the few djs out there mixing vinyls and paying for them cause they really love music.

[sheldonplankton]

@tektube Who's to say someone standing behind a set of vinyl decks doesn't have a cd player hooked up to the mixer instead, and is just playing his recorded set off that?

Both are art forms man, if that ten year old takes his free downloaded mp3s and does cool and interesting things with them, doesn't that have more merit than someone mixing lady gaga and justin bieber off vinyl?

I fully understand why you say that though, I've seen people mix using a mouse and it's horrible to see.

[tektube]

@sheldonplankton i really dont care if the 10yo playing free mp3s and making an awesome set. its all about supporting the artists and give em the motive to go on and write things. they call themselves djs and they say they support the house (w/e) scene. how the f... u support the scene w/o paying a single penny? and how the f... u support traktor w/o buying it? simple isnt it?

[sheldonplankton]

@tektube I support the scene(s) by going to gigs and buying music when I love it, but to be very honest man I can't afford 2 decks, a mixer, and shitloads of vinyl (plus whatever else I'd need, I don't even know tbh). Hell, I can barely afford traktor and a midi controller.

You're pissed at piracy, not traktor.

And by the way, if you prefer someone who supports the scene but makes utter cacophony, you've got an odd taste in music. I personally like things that make my ears feel happy.

[gnowave]

@sheldonplankton

piracy all the way. if a band or dj is any good they do gigs which we are all happy to pay for or work at.

[gnowave]

@tektube

eh,  download the lot for free.

only shit musicians etc depend on sales that way. a good band, dj, etc earns thru GIGS.

[gnowave]

@tektube

well a ten year old can with this stuff learn how to beat match in seconds actually. BUT then if thats all you can do, u aint gonna get the gigs in. wot is special here, if u had heard any of the orignal trax these guys r using, u wud see that they are creating totally new stuff each time the dj.

i understand exactly wot u r trying to say. but with the capabilities and possibilities of traktor, u r a bit off the target. vinyil is too limitied. and com acros like guitar snobs do.

[gnowave]

@tektube  bollox to you. pay for your right to be a mere citizen.

[SmiteKite]

can anyone tell me why he isn't using an a&h 4d instead of a xone92 and two 2d's?

[SixFourMusic]

@SmiteKite he's got a customized 92 so he might not want to get rid of it, though he could probably get a customized 4d

[SmiteKite]

@SixFourMusic

ok, didn't know that. what exactly is different with his 92?

I thought perhaps he likes the four band equalizer, in contrary to the 4d which has a 3 band.

I'm thinking of getting a 4d or a 92 (instead of my djm800 at the moment). . . a con for me for the 4d is that it's quite narrow and that it is 3 band equalizer, because I want four, however the midi . . . big +

the midi on the 4d can you compare it with the 1d/2d or is the 4d going way above?

[SixFourMusic]

@SmiteKite If i recall correctly he's got extra knobs in the top middle part and maybe a few elsewhere, i'm not sure what else is different.

To me, the 4d is always on my wishlist. The 1/2d's look great but there's just such a big jump from the 1-2 even 3d's to the 4d that id definitely pick up the 4d

[SmiteKite]

@SixFourMusic

thx, but don't you miss out the extra eq band?

What happens if the laptop fails.. Well for a start dont use Windows. Next, take some vinyl or cds with you just in case. Ive been using this for a while now on a Macbook pro thats 2 years old & not 1 problem. Many will say its still not great with Snow Leopard however Im using Leopard & its rock solid! Best money ive ever spent!!!

[Harvin87]

@istilllikevinyl

What happens? , well last year I was in a Marc Houle show... the computer failed before and you know what happened? nothing... he just didn't play ... I was so fucking pissed

[andrejulianocostafar]

HAWTIN *.*

[Steady99]

wait so dont even have to match beats anymore its self matching etc?

[gnowave]

@Steady99 dosnt self match unless u tell it to. but yeh, cool huh? means u can get straight to the meaty creative shit.

[alectro84]

what happend if the loptop fail?? does you plugg another one? or what? im scared that will happend to me.

[Maxxis1992]

there cant happen anything when you bring some Vinyls with you ;) so that you can put them on, when you laptop fails.... but i dont think that a MacBook can fail :D:D:D

[kidcaramba]

@Maxxis1992 @Maxxis1992 thats completle bullshit...it can happen anything anytime...look at this video

and sven is a 100% vinyl dj !!!

it fails, it fails what do u mean what happens? shit happens in life! lol

[profano8282]

only 4 stars? this man is talkin about 2009 music, u can't understand

[myoldreteacher]

This is amazing stuff, and how refreshing to see that DJ-ing now has the capacity to become more than just beat mixing, but a whole new art form. Those who are scared or dubious about the validity of this stuff are failing to see the potential there is for it to take DJ-ing to a whole new level. Thanks for a very interesting and informative video - :)

[bearjohndj]

Hey there Richie, I love my DJ traktor software, but I have some questions on how to connect my firewire sound card, behringer mixing board and feed everything through the sotware so I can queue up music and such. Please let me know if I can email you any questions? thanks so much!

[kaidan007]

when speaking about djing with pc`s,always think in autosync,this is just 1more tool,it doesnt mean you cant beatmaching...this tool just make the things faster for improving your skills mixing...

[freakful0]

he's not talking about beatmatching, but he's talking about beatmashing :))

[myshkin67]

man what a nice setup.

btw: beatmatching tools r just a basic for being able to react and work faster.

u cant even hit shit, if ur not able to HEAR what u actually want to play live or produce.

[CarnageVIII]

I'll admit, I was apprehensive about Midi DJing at first. Now, I'm thinking that, although beatmixing should still be a must-have-skill for DJs, setup's like this allow some pretty astounding shows.

Anyways, it's not like Deadmau5 constantly playing live remixes of stuff on his album over and over again.

[jeffbjeffb]

anyone that thinks using midi isnt art or "real" djing is simply not educated about the new technology available to djs. Anyone hating on midi should really take the time to try it out...it offers infinite possibilities for any level of dj. And i started out only using vinyl.

[frenchy007247]

plus one on that comment, same thing was said a few years back when the first cd decks came out

[MrDjStrong]

Has anyone got any idea what sound card he is using?

[svrleBG]

probaubly he uses M-audio sound cards, they are the best sound cards on planet earth...

[ADSuing]

wrong

audio8dj

[bi0binary]

everyone who is saying crap about midi being not real djing should wank off , Richie has proven he knows what hes doing years before traktor even existed. this music is created by himself with his colleges. the argument that beatmatching IS DJing is rediculous , that was always a mean to an end , espeicially in techno ,

[thehoaremaster]

True. When was the last time somebody told you that a paticular DJ was great at beatmatching?

[jonpaulevans]

I know DJs who can't beatmatch to save their life but their timing and knowledge of the tracks makes thier performance fantastic. I've learned a lot over the past 2 years about the importance of timing and that beatmatching is not the only way to blend a track. But beat matching does make for great blends but with this technology we can focus on other aspects (loops, samples, rapid song selection, mash-ups on the fly, etc)

[kidcapri009]

Knowing how to match beats is critical to understanding the structure and timing of your music. Its simple, the music has to flow. The computer can help in doing this, however you have to know how to do it yourself so you can move on to other more complex things (like sampling on the fly, spinning with 4 decks, looping, etc..)

[gnowave]

@jonpaulevans brilliant comment

[gnowave]

@thehoaremaster yep, in context of vinyl, i find beatmatching with vinyl too costly and time consuming to bother with. building up a library listed accoding to bpm etc. too much hassle and too limiting. and when using vinyl of differing bpm, too frustrating.

[FlipFlorence]

Spot on. If I had the choice between seeing Richie Hawtin 10 years ago on two 1210s or now with 4 decks, effects, etc I know which would be a better night out. AND even if he used the same tracks, no 2 sets would be the same.

To the "Luddites": beatmatching is a knack anyone with enough patience can learn. It does not make you a DJ any more than being able to play some chords on a guitar makes you Eric Clapton.

[gnowave]

@FlipFlorence spot on. well sed. tho i enjoyed him then and now. 

[BruceBrown86]

Shine - Alex Delano Remix...

[clajosdj]

Translate Spanish please!!

[6twin6]

hey what's the track on deck D? i just recognize louderbach but which track of them???!

[DJQuips]

I wonder why he doesn't used a DVS based setup...maybe the other 2 decks as CDJs...I was really surprised to see he basically only uses midi

[radames305]

does any 1 no how to sync 2 laptops ( pc ) both using traktor pro ??? i really wanna perform together with my friend !!

[BBuccolo]

Search on Master Midi Clock, gotta sync midi clock on those 2 laptops.

[radames305]

and to connect both, what would i have to use and what about ( midi clock sending offset ) ?

[Kid909]

Plug them both into an external mixer, use your ears to get them playing at the same speed - that's called mixing

[djrikypee]

ma smettila! ti stimo Richie ma il vinile rimane il vinile!!!!  save the vinyl!!!!

[gnowave]

@djrikypee who cares. after all vinyl is made from oil based poison.

[glict]

Your right if your not doing the mixing then your are playin an Ipod playlist. Any idiot can do that. That takes no skill. For all those djs out there thinking of taking this route. DON'T FUCKIN DO IT!!!!! Get some turntables and mix manually. Not to say computer is bad. But you should only use it to carry your music. The rest should be up 2 you.

[felipeaca]

And then we should go back to drive cars with carburators instead full injection, come on!!

[glict]

Then why don't you paint a picture with a Stencil. Come on. It's an art form not something that you can fake with technology. Technology helps. But this is bullshit disguised as DJin.

[Wormsie]

Hmm, I always thought DJing was about making a good show so that people have fun dancing, not about what technology is being used. If the show is good, the audience won't care about issues like beatmatching by ear vs software beatmatching.

[glict]

Thats like comparing a drum machine to a real drummer. Which one is better to listen to? Yea you can throw a good show. But it's also about showing off your skills to your peer djs, and spreading the knowledge of new techniques. Not who can make the best ITunes play list.

[gnowave]

@glict bollox. i heard the same thing when i was a kid in the late 60s about electric guitars and effects. this approach is debilitating and retarded.

[gnowave]

@glict fuk off. total bollox. absolute totall skid marky underpants

[gilliardo9]

U RUUUUULE RICHIE

[netghoszt]

u know... xD

[goonies16453]

hi, what exactly are you doing with the jog(transport)wheel at the end? Can it be used to scroll through songs to find a good cue point (as with turntables or cdj's ? i hope i'm a bit clear... cheers

[Eveningmedley]

yes of course - you can assign the controller the way you want to - it's all about midi mapping ;)

[colombus1000]

man four computer s on sync???..i m trying 4 decks,and i always have problems with time and sync...:-(

[DJAB41]

Practically invented minimal? You're kidding, right?

[EspritDeMusique]

no im not.

[EspritDeMusique]

no i dont even like richie hawtin you fucking bitch. i saw this video because i looked up "Traktor Scratch Pro".and

because i say what i thought was right you call me a "Sycophantic asshole" you need to stop being a fucking dick to the world and then MAYBE youll get some friends.

[underneaththe]

è un mostro!

[papiblatino]

I could'nt agree more with what he's saying. Having 4 decks allows me to layer beats, hi hats, basslines etc....fucking awesome!!!!

[quickasafox]

Yeah, that perfect combination can just sound Brilllliant! You couldn't do this with the regular two turntable setup :P Traktor FTW! XD

[robcifre]

Focused to much on TECHNOlogy?

[chidamole]

He's got a down to earth, creative way of looking at the technological advancements for dj's rather than just cussing the unknown because it's forward thinking and not the original way. People never say cycling on a mountain bike is wrong, and only a penny farthing is the correct way to do it, id like to see who has more fun and ease in a downhill race, and this applies to dj'ing aswell, if the oppertunities to explore new areas are being provided don't mock it just 'cause it;s not vynil

[fishybishbash]

Thats true, but on the other hand plenty of alternatives to 2 wheels and 2 pedals have been tried and discarded. At the end of the day, if the DJ's getting it right nobody cares if its coming off vinyl or down a USB cable...

[orologeria]

Hi everybody! somebody know wich tsi files richie got load on his traktor for this setting , i mean midi setting and were can i downloadit?

[leipzigrockt]

u can buy it on beatport

[shyytia79]

Hmm... can't find it...

If someone knows a direct link to Richies tsi files, share it, please!

[inkubusfirenze]

first track: piemont-black smoker

[MiAnimale]

what track is it on deck D LOUDERBACH?!?!

[lordoid]

As a DJ Mr Hawtin is really into this -how do i say this- "functional" techno music and production. I understand why he loves working that way. It's convenient, fast and well i think he's a little bit a tech nerd ;) But most of the time it sounds soulless to me. Too much focus on technology. Nevertheless he has produced some amazing music in the ...I like his early Plastikman Stuff a lot!

[DolceVIP]

what track at 4:16 ???

Forget it... Decks FX and 909 was such a killer album... I'm not sold on Traktor at all... Live is probably a better dj tool IMHO?

[cutterschoicenotmine]

traktor is a good tool if you have a good mac/p.c to run it on and learn all the ins and outs. i use it in conjunction with cdj800's and a djm800 mixer with a midi send feature. its really good for looping, playlist managing and the interface is well laid out too.

Serato Scratch live i cant say i have used as with any time code viynl.

And when I say "Huge Fan" I mean, I AM a fan. Just not a HUGE one!

[djoesnug]

Hey Richie great video, how do you program that function once you load your song the screen changes to the 4 deck view from the browers view????

[JJRavinsky]

Never been a huge fan of his music, but he really is an AMAZING DJ. World Class.

NativeI, you're lucky to have him repping your stuff!
