alot of responses about beatsyncing is it right or wrong etc. bottom line is what richie does is mix together 3-4 tracks at a time using say a drum loop then bass from another track then a synth line from another track which he adds delay and effects to make his own rthymn outta other people work.... its simply impossible to do what he does without looping so beatmatching is out the window anyway. what richie and all the topline djs do is play other people records but make them sound different
listening to the wonderful sounds of mr hawtin and reading your comments at the same time leave me with a weird feeling, this is designed to be enjoyed not to be picked apart, do what you will, but ffs just enjoy a beautiful piece of music, you fuckin jealous or summat?? richie hawtin gonna be blowin your socks off for yrs to come, he awesome and original!!!
Richie Hawtin is a cat who can still get in front of a Xone 92 and two decks and rip a party to shreds and has earned the right to play his music anyway he so chooses. The man is one of the pioneers of detroit tech and is a great asset to the music that we still get down to. My friends run a music festival here in France and they have NEVER been let down by RH,and neither have those of us who are on hand to dance the night away to his music.
I love how kids fight over music now... I remember when all we had was the actual rave to attend, not the internet to fight over like lazy fat asses. And im quite sure none of you can even make music, not to this extent at that. And I stil follow P.L.U.R it stops all stuff like this from happening. you kids are ruining the genre and yourselves really. Its good music, it shouldnt matter how we get it.
This is whole new level of DJing and for these who think this is a some kind of cheating i will say they dont understand the music and DJing at all. I think mr. Hawtin is bad ass and he plays good like other DJs in this industry.

for anybody to say you dont even need headphones to mix is a absolute joke, beatmatching is still an important part even if traktor attempts to beat match the tracks for you its never always 100% you still need to beatmatch and set up your whole track collection, instead of having two tracks in the mix this allows for having 4 tracks + samples and loops and effects all going at once so much more than just mixing from a to b in a 5 second transition, and even with sync it takes years to master
This is a great mix and I believe it is originally from a set in Wellington, New Zealand, 1996, so it is vinyl beat matching anyway
@Zkrudriverz if you don't get the difference then I would say you don't really understand the music. How popular it is depends on what end of the scale that it is, if it is harder and more industrial then it is less likely to be a huge hit than say what you would find on the beatport charts under techno.
Anyone can make techno, but so few can make it well.
@traprkpr I can't be 100% certain as I didn't hear the recording live, but this part is about 50min into a set which is on soundcloud called Richie Hawtin @ Wellington New Zealand 1996. If you listen to the bit on that mix just before the part on this video you can hear the pitch fluctuate so it certainly isn't done on traktor. I don't listen to many Hawtin sets, but I would say it sounds closer to what other mixes of that time period of his sounded like so I believe 1996 to be correct
You no longer have to pay for songs, you dont have to learn how to beatmatch, you no longer have to learn the diffrent breakdowns of your music, you no longer have to carry vinyl or cd's to a show, you dont even need headphones to mix. Nobody makes a living off of producing music anymore, and the market is being saturated by inexperienced people who walk into a club with a macbook, fistpump, and steal. Dj's are no longer being paid for skills because anybody and their grandma can do it.
if you love to play vinyl, power to ya, if you love to play cd?, power to ya. midi controllers/ableton/dj softwarer? power to ya. live sequencers on an 808/909/synthesizers? power to ya. its hard to argue that guys like 2manydjs, boys noize, justice, daft punk, richie hawtin, or any of the 100s of djs who dont use vinyl (anymore mostly) aren't real djs because they use a different medium. djing is fun and thats why i do it, and every other dj should feel the same way
richie uses shit like sync and so on nowadays but that doesn't mean he doesn't know how to mix. I'm pretty sure he learned how to mix back on his days. That's why he became noticed on the dj scene. He just got tired of doing all that and now concentrates on other stuff on live performances. Man he's known all over the world as a producer "plastikman" and when richie is the dj anywhere on the world it transforms into an amazing live show. Traktor rules.
Vinyl is so limited , i dont think any of the top 10 DJs use it anymore. Say what you want but i feel that most of ppl playing Vinyl always have some kinda need to prove their right. Always whining "how easy it is to beatmix these days".
Cmon if the only aspect of your DJ set is the beatmixing then yea your like decade behind these days.
@LogoMproductions He's both. He's definitely more of a Dj to me, because he was the first DJ to do a solo tour. I don't think there's many dj's that can do such a thing. (Armin van Buuren does)
@Zkrudriverz Ha! You're kidding right? Have you ever mixed records/beats? This is the shit.. . Just listen to other artists and more of this and eventually you'll see the light and magic....
@strang0attraktors i've been listening for electronic music for a while. And i've been mixing records7beats(i also make beats). Im focusing more on techno. Its pretty easy to make imo. But some seems to get really big and some not. Ijust don't get the difference...
hats off to all the people telling all the other muppets to stop whinging,it takes alot of skill and creativity to do what richie hawtin does and he should be applauded for it,just listen,it sounds great,if you don't like it don't listen,simple.
There was a whole generation of nobeds who whinged that dance music wasn't music in the 90's - you are the new generation of those loosers... Just go sit in a room and have a good old moan to yourself.
listen to deck efx and a 909. the man was the best turntablist of all time. if he he want's to use this stuff then it's the way everyone should be moving
Yes this is so easy everyone can make such music with the right software. Yes?? !!NO!! IF THATS YOUR OPINION, SHUT UP STAY AT HOME AND LISTEN TO SOMEONE ELSE!!! and you never heard them performing live, and you dont know what guys like hawtin have done to the whole techno movement.
Cant wait to hear the plastikman in germany on time warp this year!!!
[ - ] MINUS [ - ]
hope we can hear something more in germany the next years. also from others like ambiv. and gaiser
and to anyone who djed with vinyls and now cdjs........ vinyl beatmatching ---- thats sweat years and experience---cdj beatmaching without traktor ----cake--- beatmatching manually using traktor pro ---the easiest of them all...
In the end ... this track is more self indulgent than anything else but you cant blame the technology for it,,.... technology just makes it easier to express oneself.
I used vinyls before traktor, I use CDJs with traktor Pro, so "Sync" function on it is great it automatically matches the phase and the beats for lets say 70-75% of tracks that I have, but sometimes you get tracks that cant be matched by a software , so you do them manually
talking about digital or "classic" DJing, I choose a middle way...using Traktor Scratch with turntables, scratching all the time...I think this is fair...for me,real digital DJing (which I don't like) is when a DJ is just standing behind a mac with a mouse clicking in Ableton...no turntables, no CD players, no controllers, nothing, just the mouse:D..trust me, I've seen that:)))
i like techno , when i was younger i use 2 dance in clubs like lime light and the tunel in nyc. thats my stile bu i dont know where tu buy this tioe of music , befor i use to get it in the village downtown but they all gone know and before use to be hard core techno like euromasters and know is like a low hard stile .....
ok you were a bit wrong in your whole statement...who tells a story djing...? as a dj what the fuck are you talking about..? now if you said it was a way to express yourself i would back you up but wow a story..? what club do you dj at i want to come hear your story...O___o 2 thats not why ppl choose techno..techno house trance anything progressing breakbeat double bass whatever you call it and if you are a dj you should know its a vibe not a bunch of kids high pumping their fist
@djblankspace ....why are you being so condescending toward this kid? He just asked a simple question and you didnt even answer it....instead you showed your rude ignorance by acting like a stuck up DJ...my advice to you is lighten up and stop being such a music snob
I started on 2 vinyl decks when I started Djing but now use Traktor Pro with 3 real vinyl decks and 1 virtual traktor deck. To keep the mix tight, or to send it out into an off-time mix, I often use the sync on the forth deck - is that cheating?
No matter what ANYONE says - this is NOT cheating! The whole point of DJing is to play the right track at the right time. At the end of the day, the DJ is only as good as the music he plays...
Anyone who says a DJ isn't as good as the next because they use Traktor or other DJ programs are only correct when it comes to the beat syncing aspect. Having a tool to match the beats does help when you are starting out DJing but beyond that not much else - the DJ still has to plan and perform the set, use the mixer and crank it out to the satisfaction of the crowd.
too bad your wrong about sync. sync is disabled on most timecoded vinyl setups. there are ways to make it work, but as a timecode user believe me (you are probably a DJ yourself) you have to be able to manually beatmatch.
finialy!! a dj has to do stuff,, hahaha,, yes,, cause any fuckun loser dj can play other peoples tracks,,, this is music creation,, not to be confused with dj,,ing,, people takin cred for playin other peoples music,,, MEGE LAME
this is the realy artist. a bit of both at first the producer, and then the dj. everyone, with a little feeling for music can put 2 good sounding tracks together. but thats no art. and the younger generation, does know nothing about that.
hahaha man a scratch dj would spit in your face if he/she heard you say that. too bad all of us reading this are on youtube. id like see your bitchass cut up some vinyls
i think it is now time to understand the power of the digital dijng !!!! i use also traktor cause everything is possible !!! amazing !!! fully compatible with ableton live. you can construct, deconstruct and changing your track in the way that you like !!!!! creativity @ 100 % ! thanks native instruments. By the way, very good set played by Hawtin
I've just started getting into this DJing, and what I find most difficult is finding tracks that fit each other, finding a good place to bring in tracks, making the show go somewhere, and using effects to make the sound more interesting instead of just creating random noise, and so on.
So if you think beatmatching is the hardest and most essential thing about being a DJ, you're probably very talented!
As far as I know, Ritchie Hawtin can also beatmatch by ear.
the new technology is there for a reason, auto beatmatch isn't a musical crime. I can understand why there are a lot of haters but it fact it allows you to spend more time on creative elements. making the perfect mix isn't about beatmatching, I myself have a technics setup so trust me I know what it is to beatmatch.
doesnt it defeat the option of mixing???i can understand if u have a routine of a mix,but thats all,i think its important to be a dj u must be able to beatmatch not use a programme coz it will only bite u back when ur playin infront of alot of people then u look silly, yes or no ??? lol
I agree til a certain level, but a lot of dj"s are already dj-ing digital with samplers and live etc; deadmau5, hawtin himself, and a lot more. The thing I think that with auto beatmatch you can be more at ease and control your mixes better. even with auto beatmatch you can fuck up badly: wrong songs without coherence. But it's a tool and of course you have more respect if the dj can make a good beatmatch. But take movie montage for example: pellicule to digital, what gives more options? ;-)
the fact that richi hawtin uses the sync button to sync up then just "mixes" internally or w/e he does is pretty sad why the rest of us are peeved is we practised to be good at it! then some technology comes along and everyone and their moms can dj.... its just sad
oh my god... you are SO stupid... do you think you can do what richie hawtin can do? make loops on the fly using 3 laptops, a xone 92 and a bunch of traktor instruments midi controllers? if you are behind his setup you wouldn't have an idea what to do... besides, you know that richie hawtin knows how to beatmatch you idiot? he is a DJ! he just finds it boring because every retard knows how to beatsync. no, i'm sorry, i can't take you serious.
it is not as hard you may thing, making loops on the fly oh no! what a terribly hard thing to do! midi controllers? really? they're simple! He doesnt find it boring he just cant do it well! He's simply to lazy!
Richie is by far the king. I downloaded this full set last year and there are a few tracks on it i am looking for. Would anyone know where there is a tracklist???? I've been looking up all the tunes that post on his twitter dj but have never found the ones i am looking for.
us vinyl dj's are only mad because we would have to practice our asses off to do this on 4 tech 1200's and a rotary club mixer with delay units and filters in racks. also we couldn't bring our own productions unless we already have mass produced vinyl. I saw his setup and interview. yes he is a good dj but you have to understand why were pissed. he is getting more hype than carl cox for example. when carl cox does it on vinyl. you really could press random buttons on richie's setup. try it.
you are definately right. but as dan89lesta already said, it is music and also it is your own decision WHAT you want to do with it. take sven väth, he is a pure vinyl dj, he plays stricktly one song into another. outro to intro all the time. BUT: wherever he is, f.e. nature one... the place is so fucking crowded everytime. then take chris liebing. traktor, 4 decks, midi allover. the place is fucking crowded, too. your choice. whatever you want to do, use what is most fun for you.
fkin hell stop arguing over this shit already.. yes beatmatching is important and is one of the basic skills a dj has to have, and we all know mr.hawting has that down.. but there is SOO much more that goes into it. u need to know the composition of a song, how it is built up, know where the breaks are, and know the basslines and high hats of a song to find the next song to cue in and play. also where to loop and put in filters and effects. This is a great set, so dont ruin it with ur arguments
Retards.. Even a monkey can beat match. You think Richie cant do it? He was a great DJ before (I've known him for 10 years)... he just evolved into something more complex and its not fucking beat matching that makes a DJ.
But of course, every noob retard has to make a comment about that.. just because they finally learned to beat match and think they discovered the cure for cancer.
stop wining, it's still about the party ain't it, if you don't like techno why the hel are you here discussing. yes everybody uses digital gear these days, it's compact, it's compact and it's compact...the rest is up to you...why the hell do you think this guy is really appreciated..because he knows how to rock the house, my mom and your mom doesnt know shit about this...I even don't so shut the fuck up and partyyyyyyy Mofo's
We can all agree that the tune carries the mix. A golden ear is better than a golden hand.
If one can't choose good tracks, who cares how and by what means they are laid down. Richie produces a lot of the stuff he throws down so let him be. Let's all just enjoy the music for what it is. Peace & Soul!!
richie hawtin is dope and what he does is interesting and new , but to say beatmatching is a things of the past and is boring , i wouldnt agree on that . Yes beatmatching can be easy but thats not what makes you a good dj . Its how well you beatmatch , how you program your set , how long you mix for , using your eqs , cutting , scratching , djing isnt a thing of the past at all , if someone is good at djing he could easily learn how to trigger loops and do the same , anyway , cool video peace
I Agree with you man!! now everyone and there moms can be a DJ fuck i could trigger shit with my feet if i had to now.. hmm i might be the shit doing so lol.. well i believe people should at least still learn the art form of mixing, scratching, cueing...
hahaa, do you wanna listen or watch someone beatmatching ? shut up and listen. Beatmatching is history, like CD's or walkmans, people are talking about layered mp3's dude, don't be a dinosaur.
alright... since everyone else is voicing their opinions... i think using new technology and doing more things as you're DJ'ing is perfectly fine. beatmatching is cool, but come on - i can beat match no problem...
now on this mix we're hearing: it's too passive & monotone - if you're rollin - that's fine, but I'm sober now and bored as well. he could be doing more (especially with the luxury of not having to beat-match)
Tampoco e spa tanto joer con la pasta que tiene yo tambien ytengo dos mac book y una xone y hago cosas chulisimas si pudiera dedicarme a ello all day seria el rey!!!! Me gusta pero cre o que ritchie esta sobrevalorado
I can't believe this argument! The people that listen to this type of music are drunk and/or stoned and/or rollin and/or shroomin.Who gives a fuck about the details it's a trip! it's got a funky beat! and I can bug out to it!
you guys are really funny about this whole beat-matching thing. everybody can learn that, even my mum can beat match. the true art of DJing isn't about synchronization skills, but the sound that comes out. it is all about good time management. why waste your time syncing the tracks, while you could be doing something far more creative? (if only matching beats was creative at all). everybody loves vinyl, so do I but hey! let's be objective: what makes more sense from a remixer's point of view?
beat matching is something that separates bad djs to non djs, nothing else.....beat matching is something that was born of necessity because there wasn't a way around it in the past...now there is and anyone egotistical enough not to exploit that deserves to be left in the dust by what people using it can achieve ...im sorry but you have to be a pretty shit dj to think that... pawlik4u i hear that shit all the time its nice to hear other people that find it ridiculous as well
Again...the endless argue about beat matching...i think you're pretty right Brian however i also think it's just oneself's choice the style of mix you want to do...
i have an idea about beat matching and i love beat match tunes manually, however after playing vinyl, cd-j's and Traktor, i honestly prefer the last one, for the last 3 years never failed me, and if i want to beat match, no worries i can, and if i want to forget about it and focus myself on the sounds and the elements on the mix i turn the master tempo on and that's it!
defiantly! Sometimesi thinkt think people lack the experience or common sense to understand that you can manually beat match on any dj software it isnt locked into automatic.
argh sorry i was trying to give you a thumbs up ...ill fix it later.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
As someone said a few years ago he's like a rockstar. I respect what is he doing now(but i don't like that kind of playing), I respect him because i remember what he done before. btw he should not to use "sync" option in tractor dj:/
just bacause he chooses to use technology doesnt mean he is shit. ive seen richie hawtin a countless number of times before he used any of this stuff. and he would still wipe the floor with anyone., look at dex efx n 909 for god sake!
Sorry, i usually try not to say anything bad about anybody but this guy pisses me off. He pushes buttons randomly while letting the computer mix for him and thinks he is a dj. I can grab just about anybody with an ear to keep a beat in his head an teach him to be as good as this guy in one day. By the second day he should be ready to play concerts.
you obviously don't know who this is, he doesn't have anything to prove when it comes to beatmatching, he did that in the 80's and 90's. Singlehandedly the most advanced, arguably the best techno DJ ever to live. What record labels do you own pal?
what clubs are booking you? have you ever even DJ'd an event before lol. you and your fag posse should come over here and lick on my unusually large, hairy balls
actually hawtin has been saying he likes haveing his mixes sound 'out' for a bit before he brings them in again.... he dosent even beat match tractor does it all for him so it impossible for him to fuck up a mix.
You obviously don't love techno music then because what he's doing is amazing, you get a tracklist for one of his sets then compare the original tracks to how they sound in the mix kidda, ya might learn somethin ;-)
what he's doing is not that amazing because i dj myself and i have used these programs except from tractor and they make all this a piece of piss. he even admits it himself in his setup interview that all the computers make it easy. check out speedy j live or technasia. there is true skill. hawtin was well better before all this geeky shite
get your facts straight moron...sorry to disappoint you, but speedy j also uses that "geeky shite" now a days...traktor, xone 3d and a midi controllers...go do your homework and look it up, you liposuctioned-assface
u retard hawtin is not its godfather hawtin started off playing acid before moving to techno get ur facts right derrick may, juan atkins and kevin saunderson are considered the 'godfathers' even dave clarke etc. played techno before hawtin

But everybody who know how tractor works can make a set with it.
even your grandma can do it.
So r you a good dj ? don't think so.

Yes this is so easy everyone can make such music with the right software. Yes?? !!NO!! IF THATS YOUR OPINION, SHUT UP STAY AT HOME AND LISTEN TO SOMEONE ELSE!!! and you never heard them performing live, and you dont know what guys like hawtin have done to the whole techno movement.
Cant wait to hear the plastikman in germany on time warp this year!!!

and to anyone who djed with vinyls and now cdjs........ vinyl beatmatching ---- thats sweat years and experience---cdj beatmaching without traktor ----cake--- beatmatching manually using traktor pro ---the easiest of them all...
In the end ... this track is more self indulgent than anything else but you cant blame the technology for it,,.... technology just makes it easier to express oneself.
YUSHCTK 2 years ago
I used vinyls before traktor, I use CDJs with traktor Pro, so "Sync" function on it is great it automatically matches the phase and the beats for lets say 70-75% of tracks that I have, but sometimes you get tracks that cant be matched by a software , so you do them manually

talking about digital or "classic" DJing, I choose a middle way...using Traktor Scratch with turntables, scratching all the time...I think this is fair...for me,real digital DJing (which I don't like) is when a DJ is just standing behind a mac with a mouse clicking in Ableton...no turntables, no CD players, no controllers, nothing, just the mouse:D..trust me, I've seen that:)))

I started on 2 vinyl decks when I started Djing but now use Traktor Pro with 3 real vinyl decks and 1 virtual traktor deck. To keep the mix tight, or to send it out into an off-time mix, I often use the sync on the forth deck - is that cheating?
MookieWilson71 2 years ago
No matter what ANYONE says - this is NOT cheating! The whole point of DJing is to play the right track at the right time. At the end of the day, the DJ is only as good as the music he plays...

adamturton84 7 months ago
Anyone who says a DJ isn't as good as the next because they use Traktor or other DJ programs are only correct when it comes to the beat syncing aspect. Having a tool to match the beats does help when you are starting out DJing but beyond that not much else - the DJ still has to plan and perform the set, use the mixer and crank it out to the satisfaction of the crowd.
MookieWilson71 2 years ago
too bad your wrong about sync. sync is disabled on most timecoded vinyl setups. there are ways to make it work, but as a timecode user believe me (you are probably a DJ yourself) you have to be able to manually beatmatch.

I've just started getting into this DJing, and what I find most difficult is finding tracks that fit each other, finding a good place to bring in tracks, making the show go somewhere, and using effects to make the sound more interesting instead of just creating random noise, and so on.
So if you think beatmatching is the hardest and most essential thing about being a DJ, you're probably very talented!
As far as I know, Ritchie Hawtin can also beatmatch by ear.
Wormsie 2 years ago
the new technology is there for a reason, auto beatmatch isn't a musical crime. I can understand why there are a lot of haters but it fact it allows you to spend more time on creative elements. making the perfect mix isn't about beatmatching, I myself have a technics setup so trust me I know what it is to beatmatch.
goqu 2 years ago
doesnt it defeat the option of mixing???i can understand if u have a routine of a mix,but thats all,i think its important to be a dj u must be able to beatmatch not use a programme coz it will only bite u back when ur playin infront of alot of people then u look silly, yes or no ??? lol
djbuttaphingaz 2 years ago
I agree til a certain level, but a lot of dj"s are already dj-ing digital with samplers and live etc; deadmau5, hawtin himself, and a lot more. The thing I think that with auto beatmatch you can be more at ease and control your mixes better. even with auto beatmatch you can fuck up badly: wrong songs without coherence. But it's a tool and of course you have more respect if the dj can make a good beatmatch. But take movie montage for example: pellicule to digital, what gives more options? ;-)

the fact that richi hawtin uses the sync button to sync up then just "mixes" internally or w/e he does is pretty sad why the rest of us are peeved is we practised to be good at it! then some technology comes along and everyone and their moms can dj.... its just sad

oh my god... you are SO stupid... do you think you can do what richie hawtin can do? make loops on the fly using 3 laptops, a xone 92 and a bunch of traktor instruments midi controllers? if you are behind his setup you wouldn't have an idea what to do... besides, you know that richie hawtin knows how to beatmatch you idiot? he is a DJ! he just finds it boring because every retard knows how to beatsync. no, i'm sorry, i can't take you serious.

us vinyl dj's are only mad because we would have to practice our asses off to do this on 4 tech 1200's and a rotary club mixer with delay units and filters in racks. also we couldn't bring our own productions unless we already have mass produced vinyl. I saw his setup and interview. yes he is a good dj but you have to understand why were pissed. he is getting more hype than carl cox for example. when carl cox does it on vinyl. you really could press random buttons on richie's setup. try it.
Ureallydontknow 2 years ago
you are definately right. but as dan89lesta already said, it is music and also it is your own decision WHAT you want to do with it. take sven väth, he is a pure vinyl dj, he plays stricktly one song into another. outro to intro all the time. BUT: wherever he is, f.e. nature one... the place is so fucking crowded everytime. then take chris liebing. traktor, 4 decks, midi allover. the place is fucking crowded, too. your choice. whatever you want to do, use what is most fun for you.

fkin hell stop arguing over this shit already.. yes beatmatching is important and is one of the basic skills a dj has to have, and we all know mr.hawting has that down.. but there is SOO much more that goes into it. u need to know the composition of a song, how it is built up, know where the breaks are, and know the basslines and high hats of a song to find the next song to cue in and play. also where to loop and put in filters and effects. This is a great set, so dont ruin it with ur arguments

richie hawtin is dope and what he does is interesting and new , but to say beatmatching is a things of the past and is boring , i wouldnt agree on that . Yes beatmatching can be easy but thats not what makes you a good dj . Its how well you beatmatch , how you program your set , how long you mix for , using your eqs , cutting , scratching , djing isnt a thing of the past at all , if someone is good at djing he could easily learn how to trigger loops and do the same , anyway , cool video peace

alright... since everyone else is voicing their opinions... i think using new technology and doing more things as you're DJ'ing is perfectly fine. beatmatching is cool, but come on - i can beat match no problem...
now on this mix we're hearing: it's too passive & monotone - if you're rollin - that's fine, but I'm sober now and bored as well. he could be doing more (especially with the luxury of not having to beat-match)

you guys are really funny about this whole beat-matching thing. everybody can learn that, even my mum can beat match. the true art of DJing isn't about synchronization skills, but the sound that comes out. it is all about good time management. why waste your time syncing the tracks, while you could be doing something far more creative? (if only matching beats was creative at all). everybody loves vinyl, so do I but hey! let's be objective: what makes more sense from a remixer's point of view?

beat matching is something that separates bad djs to non djs, nothing else.....beat matching is something that was born of necessity because there wasn't a way around it in the past...now there is and anyone egotistical enough not to exploit that deserves to be left in the dust by what people using it can achieve ...im sorry but you have to be a pretty shit dj to think that... pawlik4u i hear that shit all the time its nice to hear other people that find it ridiculous as well

i have an idea about beat matching and i love beat match tunes manually, however after playing vinyl, cd-j's and Traktor, i honestly prefer the last one, for the last 3 years never failed me, and if i want to beat match, no worries i can, and if i want to forget about it and focus myself on the sounds and the elements on the mix i turn the master tempo on and that's it!
