worst concert/live perfomance and dj set (Page 3 of 8)

Does Serato have auto beatmixing? I used it at a friends party and you still had to mix like a real vinyl. I think it's pretty cool but still not the same as vinyl

I always admire a mostly vinyl set (is ok to mix in a few CDs) a lot more than a flawless pure laptop set. I like to hear that a new record is coming in, not just a new digital track.
But I completely agree with Retali8 above. It's more the attitude than the technology that matters, so there are exceptions.

BMG from Ectomorph has been playing all laptop "live" and DJ sets for a long time now. And I have to say, I've always really enjoyed and admire what he does. Because he does more with the 2 or more tracks he is playing on his laptop, than he could possibly do if he played the exact same tracks on vinyl. His sets also sound digitally "clean" and kinda miss the warmth of analogue (and mistakes) but the track selection mostly makes up for this though.

I remember one time many years ago we got him a bit too high while playing a gig so he forgot to plug in his laptop. The sounds dies in the middle of the set, and everyone scrambles to see what's wrong with the sound system. Turns out it was the battery....  See, that would NEVER happen with turn tables. No batteries there, get as high as you want.

ok, back on topic.

the slits 2008 holland

In early 80s they were great postpunk band. Now the lead singer Ari Up is conceited bitchy wanna-be rockstar that plays real crappy reggae tunes while claiming she'd play a bunch of Slits stuff. Boooooooo! Saw her a few months ago, very disappointed. The opening band, who were very good actually, were walking on clouds before the gig thinking they would be rocking out ahead of the legendary band. Ari did not bother to listen to one song and was actually rude to them, leaving one of the girls almost in tears at the end of the night......

If you push farther the reasonment, the dj himself has no reason to be. Why not a dj set with nobody at the turntables?

the current discussion here notwithstanding this is actually a concept that should be explored further. if only for scientific or artistic (as in art questioning the technological advance in art) reasons...

autopilot cbs sounds good to me

Have you ever been outside?

Well it can be as simple as; the crowd is not digging your music, let's try something harder/faster/slower/whatever

Sad thing is, most people in a club or bar would be happy with this arrangement.
The average joe thinks their ipod can do a better job than the person behind the decks

ipod "DJs" need to uh gtfo permanently

I think average joe's want DJ's thats why this whole stupid DJ culture exist

A few years ago there was a Bunker party with a Robot DJ that played mp3's we all know how that one went

I think average joe's wants to sell maximum of Beers, no matter why the clients are coming. More the dj brings clients, more good he is. When average Joe's s got a Turttle who speaks, he doesn't need Djs.
