I went to my local DJ shop today (Moog Audio Montreal) to buy a timecode record when all of a sudden i saw a shiny new S4 all plugged up and just waiting for me to try it. I asked the clerk for a pair of headphones and started mixing on the beast.
After a few minutes i notice an old-ish guy behind me, looking at what i'm doing. I keep minding my own business and after a few more seconds the guy asks me ''Do you understand this machine?" So i tell him "Yeah, if you've ever used traktor the S4 is super easy to use" He then proceeds to telling me that he's been spinning vinyl for 30 years, and he just dropped 1K on an S4 and he doesnt understand shit to it. That's not the funniest part though. The funniest part was when he saw my Timecode vinyl i had just bought and was staring at it with an inquisitive look. I explained to him what exactly timecode was (basically, that i could put any song that was on my computer, onto the vinyl). The look on his face was fucken priceless. For all i know he might swap out his S4 for a DVS rig!
