Youtube should not even host videos anymore, just topics for people to argue over.

[emre8041]

yeah it takes a lot of talent to get 2 tracks to play at the same BPM and mix each other!

I dont give a fuck if you use traktor,ableton or vinyl..I care about what your playing.

[molestador]

o principe do Underground

[UrbanCrunkMovement]

No. Choose the next song your going to play (based on audience reaction to other songs) while the current song is playing and mix it in before the currently playing track finishes. It's a skill alot of new "DJs" have not developed.

[emre8041]

so you play what ever shit you find,in random order?

[UrbanCrunkMovement]

Real DJs know how to play to a crowd, they don't beatmap the songs they are going to play and know what order they are going to play the songs in before hand.

[UrbanCrunkMovement]

Fuck Traktor scratch that software takes all the skill out of the artform known as DJing. My main beef is with the auto beatmatching function. Auto beatmatch is for people who don't know the history of DJing or disregard it because using a laptop is easier. You will never be a DJ in the true sense unless you can do sets on the fly; pick songs on the fly, play to the crowd, blend records, choose records which can mix into eachother etc. Serato is a tool, Traktor is a cheat.

true

Actually, its a subject i can argue the hell out of because i happen to be an ableton user. As I said: as long as it sounds good i'm FINE.

AND if you completely gathered what I was saying, it was that I hate seeing JUST a LAPTOP, and no MIDI controller. A pet peve. Like I said, it desn't require an assload of talent UNLESS you're an upper echelon DJ.

Pretty black and white that I'm actually a fan of Surkin. AND PCDJ'ing

[cacophony1]

ableton allows you be more creative.

beatmatching isnt talent, as im pretty sure alot of top end dj's already know how to do it.

can you use ableton like he does? no, it actually requires talent. please stop saying that it requires more skill to use a deck rather than a laptop because its an argument you obviously cant argue if youve never learnt the software through and through.
