Re: il make u vomit
It's not the technology that bugs me - as long as the music is good, they can play it on pots and pans for all I care.
As Victor Robots has demonstrated, Hawtin has become a Habitat lounge lizard who thinks that (a) he owns Berlin's music scene, and (b) Minimal is the only music you should listen to.
It's a natural progression that if you hate Ritchie Hawtin, you hate anything connected to him, hence this Traktor bashing thread, and I can't blame you - regardless of the fact that I've been using Traktor for 8 years, and longer than Hawtin has. It hurts to be lumped with this wanker, because I use Traktor as a means to an end, i.e. having to carry/lose vinyl and doing things that can't be done on vinyl. Yes, vinyl is sonically superior to MP3, but would the crowd you're playing to give a shit about the delivery medium you're using? Thought not... Besides, using .wav files of ripped vinyl might shut up some of the purists, but who gives a fuck about purists unless you're looking to do a documentary?
On a final note, Native Instruments are the smug twats that Ratsnake makes them out to be. I visited their offices around 4 years ago under the impression that they take feedback from mere mortals like me, but as I found out, I needed a floppy fringe and a massive drug habit to be taken seriously!
