Beat matching is the most boring part of DJing and stands to do nothing but give you the potential to screw up. It's not like taking shortcuts in playing guitar because either it's right or not…there's no expression in beat matching. And even people who cheat at guitar (like keith richards, who always uses open tunings and just bars chords) can still be extremely expressive and creative…just like DJs.
It took me a while to come around, but…I'll probably never play live without sync again…and I don't care.
Seriously…nothing pisses me off more than seeing someone DJing with a controller who isn't using sync and is flaming all over the place. If you want to do it the old fashioned way, fine…but at least be as good as the computer is…otherwise it's jut useless wanking that degrades your performance.
