OK, so I was talkin to a club owner of a bar that I play at sometimes last night. Hes a nice guy and all but im just fed up with being discriminated on because of my gear choice. I use a VCI 100 SE, Akai LPD8 and Midifighter. Basically his words were, " You have the track selection, you have the following, you have the skill now all you need is some real DJ equipment." I try to do what all you guys say to do and just laugh and shrug it off but its come to the point now where I just can't anymore!
Funny thing is I rock the shit out of the place every time I play there. I know what he is referring to, specifically CDJ's. Down my way basically 95% of the electronic DJ's are on CDJ's. I know that when in the booth it can be cumbersome switching over gear to a midi setup, I experience it time and time again. But my opinion about the whole situation is that im too limited on CDJ's!
I wish this digital revolution would just hurry the %$&# up! Figured I'd just tell this frustrating story with all of you. So apart from just doing my thing with pride how do a controllerist earn respect????
