Look at Blakey - he's getting right on board with the Dicers.
All turntablism is, is cuepoint juggling, where the cuepoints aren't immediately available (ie - at the touch of a button). Instead of hitting a button, the turntablist has to manually search for (back spin/forward spin) the cue point, then launch it on beat (or off beat, as the case often is).
At it's most basic, using software cue points in a turntablist routine free's up time for scratching. Where a DJ previously had to manually back spin the record to the cue point (marked on the record) during a juggle routine, all he has to do now is tap a button. It might give him an extra 2 bars to throw in some scratches, or even samples - but it'll change the way routines are put together.
Seriously - turntablists WILL get onto this sooner or later. They're mad not to. And if this generation of turntablists don't, the next generation will swallow 'em up.
Can you imagine Babu, or Jazzy Jeff juggling using cuepoints, effects, loops, samples??? I dream of Jazzy Jeff doing the "I Wanna Rock" routine with Dicers, scratches, effects, etc...
I don't know much about TTism but I think that video posted of Craze on the blog was sick. Him and Shiftee are doing a great job of taking advantage of the DVS and controllers as im sure AM would of too.
Indeed. A controllerist DJ AM would have been breathtaking. It really is a shame he isn't around anymore.
rafik is doing some cool shit with turntablism & controllers
the demo for traktor 2 was off the chains
Agreed and for what its worth DJ AM is/was pretty much unknown in UK (or a lot less known).Quote:

I still think a 100% controllerist is needed but hey ... we got EAN..!
+100 The dude is a legend, but fuuuuuck some of those tunes :lol:Quote:

On it! The Bridge is really where the door opens up, you still don't see a whole lot of guys taking full advantage of this I think because you need some experience, and I think the bugs might need some ironing, but it's coming.Quote:

serato needs to pull off a miracle as far as im concerned
I don't see how - IMO, since ableton has pretty much ENDLESS decks, able to fire off endless amounts of samples...synched to serato for scratch action...I feel that Ableton already trumps traktor for number of decks and samples possibilities...Quote:

But I do like the sounds of your idea^^ would love to see a vid of that for sure :)
