Has anyone gotten slack for using a controller and Traktor for sync option?

What you on about? It has a pitch encoder and a touch strip that pitch bends. You could beat match on that.

This is like going into your nearest boozer to find the locals are still talking about Ryan Giggs.

Yaaaaaaaawn

Shouldn't title be 'Flack' instead of 'Slack'?

assuming it is about getting shit for controller use, and not an easy time..

You don't need a sync button to use a controller, or preform controllerism techniques.

I have a gig at a boutique clothes shop. They want me to use decks, so I take DVS.

I'm very aware when I'm using the DVS that I could be doing this entirely with MIDI but I do it because, for them, it is the image they want to portray.

It just seems absurd to me that we can drive around in cars, have spell checkers on our word processors, use calculators instead of an abacus, and people still think it's 'cheating' not to automate the creatively devoid skill of manual beatmatching when:

- using DVS, we've already deferred more complicated mechanisms to the computer

- the process by which you line beats up is the least important bit of DJing. There is no creativity in beatmatching. Manual beatmatching is a skill that anyone can pick up in a month with some turntables. Picking songs and reading crowds is pretty much ALL DJing is about. It is the only thing to seperate YOU from:
a) the DJ that spent a month learning to beatmatch
b) the DJ that hits a sync button

I could teach my gran to beatmatch in a month. She's 95 and half-deaf. Will she then be able to join the 'Manual Beatmatching Army'?

It is so typical of the human condition to fixate on:
- the least important thing
- other people

The only person that is going to make you a good DJ is yourself. Being proud of being able to use an abacus is all well and good, but you aren't going to wow other people if you're just doing addition and subtraction on it. Turntablism is impressive. Beatmatching is not.

Stop focussing on other people and the least significant details.

Damn it, got sucked in again.
