Hey guys, I hope anyone can give a clear answer on a question about a matter I'm dealing with. It's quite a story, but it's to give you guys a clear, exact view on what situation I'm dealing with. People not wanting to read it, start at the -->
So, an explanation of my situation:
2 years ago I got into DJing, and bought a Numark NS7 as I disliked CDJs and wanted to have the turntable feeling together with the digital possibilities. This seemed to be the perfect option, however I'm not completely happy with it. Why not? Because the easy available option to sync wrecks any challenge for me to even start mixing. Everywhere you look, you see markers and tools to instantly sync tracks, and when that's done, what's left? I got no FX or anything Even at gigs, quite often I'm just bored by having nothing to do anymore (also feeling restricted), let alone that I don't even care to touch my gear at home. I miss the fun of DJing
I've been looking into many digital setup options to create more features to do next to mixing (read: syncing) such as sampling and live beatmaking, but something tells me that it's the syncing that takes away all the fun, and that I can't simply redeem that fun factor by fooling around with some button bashing. I'm not into production at all either, haven't got the patience for it.
--> So here comes the interest for a DVS setup. One downside: using software still gives you the possibility to sync tracks, so doesn't necessarily solve my problem of missing the fun of mixing. So, my question is: with a DVS setup, how large is the tendency to sync tracks? Is it easily available, or is it more natural to beatmatch by ear, doing it the oldschool way (and just using the laptop for your music collection)?
I hope I made my problem understandable for you guys, and that you can help me with this. I want to do more with my love for DJing, but this matter certainly blocks me at the moment!
