worst concert/live perfomance and dj set (Page 1 of 8)

I saw DJ Stingray once and it was the worst mixing ever. Every mix was miles off. It was as if it was a random somebody from the street, with a skimask on.
but..strangest thing was that every record was the best drexciyan stuff I have ever heard and the bad mixing didn't matter anymore

my gig last friday night. time to sell my records... i cant play shit....:(

Serato sucks, mp3's suck more ....

Worst dj set i experienced was Arthur Baker for the same reasons

Yeap, Afrika Bambaataa sucked hard when i saw him a few years ago in Deventer. There where also a lot of people with the same zulunation t- shirt, clinging together on the dancefloor. That gave me even more the creeps, like the where some kind of cult.

I really like DJ Stingray, though.

its not advanced at all.. on the contrary, it's too easy...

serato is cool, but the idea is ripped off and WAY overpriced considering what you get (just a standard usb audio device). use xwax instead.

I've been baying about it on the CBS for years, and I'll bay once again...

Bias, by now you know too well that if you use VSTi's instead of analogue synths, and a laptop instead of vinyl, you're gonna get slaughtered here. Don't get me wrong buddy - I'm with you all the way, and I'm not ashamed to say that I use Traktor for DJing, and VSTi's instead of analogue synths for production.

Frankly, I don't give a fuck or have too much time for people who go on anally about the merits of a pair of Technics or a Jupiter-8. And that's because I was there and I've used them both to the max, and more. It's ironic that people in this forum call themselves 'robots' when they go on like this like they've lived amongst the Amish. What next? Give up on trains and take up walking long distances? Gimme a fuckin' break...

As long as the delivered product rocks, I really can't be arsed whether it came out of an 808 or a milk carton. What sounds good is always good. So Bias, don't bother losing precious calories here and stick to what makes your ears and arse move!

you'll need a very fast computer, latency will depend on your system, rane/serato got that all figured out.

free sounds nice but did you try it, does it work, rane was fucking slow the first years.

256kbit and 320kbit mp3 get you something like -80db of peak error in the form of white noise at snare hits..

the usual suspects

@bias: i think we're pretty openminded about technology, but that doesn't mean just accepting anything the industry tells us to. i prefer analogue synths to vst's because to me they sound better, are nicer to work with, and inspire me more than vst's. thats not to say there arent some nice ones, even i use them sometimes..

as for technology being easy that in itself is true, but not everything should be easy. its obvious that in a lot of cases, something that requires someone's craft is more appreciated and of superior quality than ''easy'' mass produced shit.. sometimes its nice to appreciate someone's knowledge and art. otherwise, why not only buy cheap copied paintings massproduced in china, prefab furniture, etc.
