I've Rediscovered Why I Love Dj'ing

[mart21har]

Hi all, i've had a bit of an epiphany here.

I took Traktor pro 2 down to essential mode, made gridding invisible, still left bpm on along with the phase meter, I then set waveforms to the ultraviolet.

Threw on my favorite house tracks, and started mixing, manual beatmatching, complex transitions and looping. Dear god, it was phenomenal..... I was having the time of my life.

I think i'm done with midi once and for all.

How are you using SSL without a laptop?

I'm happy for you both but you are still using midi even if you make the beat grids invisible! Ssl is probably a bit closer to the real thing so I'll give you that.

I know. i was referencing i'm done with midi as to saying that i no longer plan on acquiring any midi dj hardware.

You not fancy going the turntable route? There seems to be an obsession with this at the minute.

definitely considering,i'd more or less like to quit the idea of having a computer in front of me....

I'll offer a contrarian view here. I've started using sample decks, cue point juggling (well not really juggling, more like cue point live edits) and pre-planned custom edits, and wondering why i didn't do so much much earlier.
