Who cares what people mix with? The crowd sure as shit don't. Welcome to the future! It's what comes out of the speakers that's important. So maybe Dj X can mix two tracks better than John Digweed.. So what? If he can't read the crowd or if his set is pure shite, then that 30sec intro/outro mix doesn't mean much does it. Mixing two tracks together makes up like 5% part of being a good Dj.

You're right to say that turntables take time to master and you're right to say that vdj is easy.
But i don't agree with "there is no prior knowledge or musical skill needed".
You have to have a really good concept of beats and bars and which track would go best with this track etc.
I prefer to think vdj as a stepping stone rather than a game.
When you have mastered vdj with constantly fantastic mixes and a concept of a perfect mix, it is then time to convert to cd players and/or turntables.

A good dj doesnt blame his decks. You can have cdj 100's and still make a good mix if you have the skill. cdj 1000's are only as good as the dj using them.

i use vdj and a pair of technics, i just find working on general ideas easier on decks and then refining those ideas on vdj not the other way around, its useful to be able to store my mixes as mp3s though, i wouldn't ever think about getting rid of my decks and only using vdj, that would just be nuts although i have found it to be a useful tool when playing places where theres not alot of space to set up in.

I know all about Sasha and 'The Maven'!
Controllers are become a lot more common in live setups, Sasha, Deadmau5 and countless others use Ableton as a musical tool to create amazing live performances, the difference is: they have musical talent and knowledge. Anyone who downloads virtual DJ and autosyncs 2 tunes cant be held in tha same breath, knwo what i mean?
i like the technological advances in DJing, i just dont think the leap from hardware to purely software will happen anytime soon

Using software with a controller is the future of djing.
Even the Legend that is Sasha uses Ableton Live and his
own custom made controller the Maven. Sasha has said
that 'Ableton Live allows for greater creativity and spontaneity.'
Lets face it the clubbers that go and see Sasha are not bothered what equipment
he uses as long as the mix is sick!

Well yeah. When i first started to DJ i had cd decks and a mixer. I had some trouble doing mixes because i didn't know a lot, so I sold the decks and headed for vdj.
As a result i can now pull of good mixes.
If you want to see what my mixes sounds like, then head over to my channel.
All of the mixes on there were performed on vdj.

yes, thats a very good explanation. im sorry if my comment seemed a little abrupt lol!
yeah, its a great stepping stone. And if you have a good concept of your bars and how to put together a good set with the right tunes....
thats if you use it correctly, and i think by the sounds of it, you do! ; )
Its also a good option for people who are thinking about becoming a DJ but are unsure...
This comment has received too many negative votes show

No prise on this comp as it would be quite easy to just up load a pre recorded mix. j
