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?

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

@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.

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

[gnowave]

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

[gnowave]

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

@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.

[gnowave]

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

[gnowave]

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

[gnowave]

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

[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.
