I'm suprised there is so much hate..

Old vinyl dj here's my take ad my biggest thought why so many vinyl djs hate on digital djs goto a club guy rocks traktor cue jumps button mashes rapes effects. Sync quant snap all one but hey guess what still misses the timing factor out of phase can't count a beat maybe your lucky the guy has setup cue
Points so rem if misses phase can nail it with a cue point. This is why most vinyl djs get mad and me included you say tools give youore creative freedom but can't do a basic skill everyone else can that doesn't have software doing the other stuff for you...... The reason I love itch and serato Dj. There is no quant or snap. And sync I'm not sure how to even run it. Simply put I'm a digital Dj who mixes like he's on viny/cdjs.

I do not dislike heavy effects cue jumping and all that jazz. I equate it to digital turntablism. There's lots of guys who would call themselves turntablist but very few you would ever want to hear much less pay to hear. I'm not a snob or a cunt I just dislike when you act better then someone because you spent 3 days working out a 60min routine that has nothing innovative.

I spend 120minutes mixing a 120minute set that may span 6 genres.

So because we have photoshop every photo taken should be airbrushed to shit and have mad filters?

Because we have after effects every film and video should be about insane fx and we forget about storyline?

Why are books even still around... That's the old way of telling stories!

Etc

ugh... u obv dont see what im tryna say. u must seriously be blinded by ur own hatred/ignorance if you think THAT is what I meant by my one sentence...

also notice my previous post where i said i dont even TOUCH any of the FX in traktor.. -_______-

I'm curious what DJs or mixes are not "boring" and "jukebox" if 'a-b' is out. The best mixes I've heard use long transitions between two tracks - this smoothness and musical flow is what its all about really. Effects or mashups or cue juggling overtop is just adding some extra interest.. But if the flow isn't there to begin with its totally redundant. I suggest OP listens to sasha involver 2

These debates are strange to me. People do realize the vast majority of the most popular dj's mix traditionally, right? What in the hell is passing them by? Traditional blending is still the standard and always will be. Turntablists have been doing crazy shit for 30 years and still can't pack a venue. Why? your average club goer doesnt want to hear that shit. There will always be a place for DJs and it has nothing to do with technology.
