Why? Famous DJ's use CDJ vs. Timecode?

[R2D2]

yeah, but thats my question why is it that David Guetta, Tiesto, Roger Sanchez, Armin Van Buuren, etc ALL prefer 4 CDJ's.

I know there are big time names using software but in my opinion David Guetta and Tiesto are as big as it gets, and WMC is a HUGE event. So why do the biggest names at one of the biggest events prefer using CDJ's?

All those guys learnt on vinyl ! simple as that its hard to explain to someone who has learnt on a laptop there is a certian freedom that you have without the laptop in the way during a dj set !

technology is not always a good thing tbh

jmdrake is right its all about simple turn up and play less things to go wrong ! basically idiot proof lol

It's simple, a pioneer CDJ never stops playing whatever you do and a laptop can stop working for no reason and very easily, I use a laptop but that's how things are at the moment, computers are not as reliable as decks for live performance.

I've seen a LOT of CDJs fail. Computers aren't reliable if you don't have a clue on how to keep a clean system or you are buying stuff with dodgy components.
