As I attended a new bar in my town I was eager to see a live DJ. When I finally arrived to the bar I noticed a DJ booth. I was quite excited to hear a live set by a fellow DJ. Upon looking into the booth I noticed a Numark Mixtrack Pro. I have never held and will never hold animosity towards controllers (I personally use a VCI-100 1.4FW). However, I withheld judgement until he began.
To say the least I was disappointed beyond belief. Unfortunately this DJ fit every stereotype controller DJ could ever hope to contain... Dependent on a sync button, overuse of effects, clipping beats, ect. ect. I felt sick to my stomach listening to the 2x BPM rap songs and echo effects. I looked more carefully noticing he was running a VDJ LE. Shame on him... Nothing bothers me more than to see a controller user prove peoples stereotypes correct.
One day I hope to see a DJ with a controller in the booth kill it. Nothing would make me happier than to see a controller DJ rock the club. To be a paid DJ using VDJ LE is an embarrassment to ever controller user ever. I would like to know if anyone else has experienced the same situation as I have.
