Yet the blog still touches on almost all things Digital Djing... Even reviews of CDJs etc
DJTT does have products it promotes, VCI-100 SE, overlays, Midifighters, Firmeware kits, etc.
There is nothing cynical about it, it's an organic and natural evolution.
As I understood it, Ean modded the VCI-100 with arcade buttons and a layout, for his own personal reasons, because the buttons that ship with the VCI aren't the best and the boundaries of the layout can be pushed.
He set up this blog and found a lot of people liked what he'd done and wanted a piece of it.
The mappings, layouts and modding are a solution to a problem not being solved by the manufactures so he did it himself. They are also a real hassle to do and of course he deserves financial compensation.
Proper cool but also entrepreneurial. And i massively take my hat off to him and everyone involved... all forum mods included
Everything has been very open, even when they added ads to the forums, they took them off cause it didn't have the right vibe.
I got massive love for DJTT
+1 to "don't go changing"
This is to be commended
