So I have been Djing about 6 months and I have had 4 gigs, mainly with laptop + 2 midifighters. I'm now a resident of this wednesday D'nB, dubstep thing.
Now the person (lets say "A") behind this wednesday thing came to chat with me at Facebook:
A: Hi hey just a question mark popped up
B: yees?
A: your style of music that you dj and what equipment do you use
do you play on cd or vinyl
B: Dubstep, Drum 'n bass and electro and all kind of EDM
neither
With laptor, two midifighters and mixer
A: yes thats a problem???
i heard you play with midi things and laptop
i dont want that
B: why?
A: i want my dj's to play cd or vinyl. or serato
B: really why?
Can I have even one good reason?
A: resons being
1 i dont like anyother gadgets being set up at any event
2
djs at live events need to know how to mix with out gadgets
3.
i made everyone els do the same
for example XXXX and XXXXX
B: 1.They are easier to set up than serato
A: and there was someone els
but for example
XXXX started mixing with cdjs
and now he play's a lot better
i don't want djs using midi controls etc at my events
B: 2. Whats midi things different from serato?
A: serato you use vinyl
B: there isn't technics at XXXXX?
A: yes there are
4 technics
2 in each room
they just need to be set up
B: Okkeey
A: XXXX are original djs
you can do it man
B: So in a nutshell you are saying that its not proper djing with midi things?
A: switch over
!!
yes
my opinion
it sucks
i know
but learn to mix with out programs
B: Yes all is ok
But wait a sec
A: even serato you have to use the pitch on the technics
with those midi box's and programs you can sync mix's etc witch i dont think is a real dj
Im only on your case because of what ive heard
i just want you to start mixing with cdj
so that i can prove them people wrong
you get me
B: Yes you use pitch and watch from serato that bpm is same? Can't see the difference
Adn you are saying that this isn't djing? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4DUUDw3mww
A: hey dont disagree with me
just learn to mix with cdjs
or vinyl
no questions please
rules aply for everybody
B: So I can use serato?
A: yes
B: Aaand how about other programs?
And can I use midi things with serato? XXX was using novation dicers at his gig.
A: what is novation dicers
??
XXXX uses purely vinyl
and cd
B: With serato?

A: what other programs are used apart from serato
i dont have a qlue
B: Traktor, VDJ, audio torq
A: listen this is really straight forward and clear
use vinyl
use cd
and if you need laptop to help you dj then fine
but No midi box's
no extra hasstle
ok
So what are you saying? This kind of shit just makes me mad
