Getting a hard time cause i use a controller

Haha, exactly.

I've used turntables long time ago, having sync would have made me far more creative than spending my brain cycles trying to get two tracks to match. That's why a lot of the new creative DJs are doing mashups on the fly and so on... You could not do those kinds easily before the advent of the computer-based DJ tools.

Or. Beat-matching is as interesting as peeling potatoes.

I think i love you... Some idiots on this like to think otherwise though, why struggle or even spend time on something that a computer can do instantly for us, and if thats the case is it really that much of a skill!???

right because am using a controller and software am getting a hard time because all my mates use cd decks... they basically say its taking the easy route using the controller for mixing...fair enough having a wav forum infront of you does make it easier ..but i know my tunes and know when sh*ts going down in them ..and another thing the sync button i refuse to use it but all i get from them is that i dooo arghhhh irritates the sh*t out of me...sorry for the bitching just had to get it out haha

Tell your mates to buy better CDJ's. Then they'd have waveforms in front of them as well.

Interestingly, I can read the "waveform" off a record. Lots of old-school guys can ...

Having sync doesn't make you creative.

Just sayin'

Whats so hard about "reading" the waveform off a record. it literally takes few minutes to figure it out...

lul what? Someone better tell the turntablists that.

Also, fucking about with extra fluff does not make a better performance.

And lastly, to those who said beat matching is boring, I find DJing with sync duller. Different things for different people
