i have seen a dj at a club with a dj controller...

I would atleast practice for 1 year ( I gonna practice 2 years or longer ) before you start djing for real.
-
He's right that any deck of cds is good for starting, and that it will train your ear and beatmatching skills.... BUT Midi djing is the future, in 10 years nobody will spin on cds/vinyls anymore.
-
Sasha has been using Ableton FOR YEARS and nobody seems to have an issue with that. If a guy wants to learn to DJ using software and a midi controller I think he should go right ahead.
-
Hawtins sets are just as "live" as Deadmau5's pre-recorded tracks that he plays.
-
spot on m8, im the same, im not saying midi is bad, but its better to learn , by not watching a computer screen.

Thank you for this... Thank you so so so much. You have said EVERYTHING I was always thinking.
Not saying that Midi, or mixing programs are bad, I am saying that if you really want to learn how to be a proper DJ, as opposed to a nerd infront of a computer with a fairly respectable music collection, then you need to stay away from the 'Sync' button.
Learning how to beatmatch manually helps a new DJ in ways that are hard to describe, but I recommend that to any new DJ.

I agree 110%. You need to learn the fundamentals, then you can go easier. But if you miss the fundamentals of mixing, then you will always be a crap DJ.

some good things said in this vid but, about the beat matching part...unfortunately, it's beginning to be a thing of the past. Just look up names like Richie Hawtin, who use sync and midi controllers (very expensive ones, but still midi controllers).

no doubt about its more about the music than beatmatching , the more ppl that wake up to this the better.
