are we in the middle of an "attitudes to midi djing backlash"

[mrkleen]

More tired attitudes from washed up, talentless hacks who are still fascinated with manual beat matching and other elementary tasks.

yeah but poter is a fucking tool DJ, yeah great producer but not even close to a great dj. anyways back on subject i somewhat agree with the article. its no longer about making the best product, but making money from people who think they want to become djs.

[mrkleen]

99% of all DJ products since the beginning have been about making money over quality. NOTHING is different.

I've got nothing more to say on this topic except to say that guy can't write for shit.

Is the Behringer product mentioned even available yet? I don't really understand what the author's saying, to be honest; I mean, I get the overall point, but if you look at specifics there are no reasons for anything given, it's just opinion after opinion, not all of them even consistent (e.g. slamming NI for build quality while touting a Behringer controller) or even intelligible (recycled plastic?). And I think the overall issue of people wanting to see a spinning disk has nothing to do with controllers - that pretty much was an issue since the industry moved to CDJs (which are still the standard by a long shot).

I just wish I didn't add to that shitty blogs click count.

[MrDudeMan]

Just curious what sales figures you are talking about?

[padi_04]

Man, if that's all it takes what is NI waiting for!

I've seen people go for the Pioneer controllers instead of an S4 for this reason alone (still facepalming)

The flashing lights on the CDJ 1000s are pretty slick
