    Default Why do people buy gear they have no idea about?

    I was reading the serato forums in the dj intro area and the amount of stuff in there about the vci-400 is amazing.

    It basically goes like this.

    "now I bought the 400 and I find out I cant use 4 decks with serato wtf ,,,when are we gonna be able to use 4 decks and is it gonna cost me more and if so how much ?"

    "I bought a 4 channel mixer and should get a 2 channel software? Its like i buy a car with a 4 zylinder motor and there work only 2."

    "Why on earth would a high end, $1K, 4-channel controller be only compatible with entry level/2-channel Serato Intro software and not the higher end/4-channel Serato Itch software? "

    I don't understand it, was the product ever marketed as being compatible with ITCH? Do people not read the product descriptions when shelling out 1000 USD? Are people that stupid?]

    I'm not having a dig about serato btw, this is entirely a dumb user situation.

    It's gotten really bad now a days due to the trend of music

    Yeah, most DJs are pretty stupid. People like us who hang around on internet forums researching and talking about gear and technology are a small minority and the average DJ is interested in learning the bare minimum possible.

    What??!!!? You guys don't know? The best gear makes you the best DJ. My $150 bcd3000 won't get me to Ibiza, but if I spring $4000 on a new MBP, a pair of 1210s, the latest greatest pio mixer, 6 midifighters, and some beats headphones, and some monster cables, THEN I will be pro.

    I disagree - most DJs I know want to learn more and get better all the time. You do get the barely-skilled kids who work out how to beatmatch and then try to make out the World owes them shows and credit - but as a rule I think people who get into DJing seeing their peers do something new or exciting and want to learn how to do it.

    As for people who sit online all day talking about it - that's good in practice if your actually putting those skills to use - it's like masturbation; great on your own but amazing if done with someone else.

    P.S - lets not start bitchin' about what gets posted at other forums. It's a slippery slope.
