This is where it's heading. Sorry, but club owners can save a lot of money using these over DJ's. Once the algorithms have improved on itunes genius type playlisting actions, why should the majority of bars, clubs, and lounges waste money on local DJ's when a piece of software will do basic mixing when the majority of patrons really don't know the difference anyhow. I'd like to think the majority of people can, but lets be honest... we have a billion and one talentless celebridee-jays getting gigs, and tons of large artists not even mixing and being paid top shelf wages. The typical club patron and music consumer is happy with drek. If they weren't, people like Guetta, Beiber, and Carly Rae Jepson wouldn't be the most popular, and popular is what drives money.
Pretty sure there was a thread about this like a year ago, this is old news and isn't even part of pioneer dj division and is not aimed at djs.

because there is something about the experience of seeing a dj do his/her thing live whether or not you like them or their drek. most djs have at least a small built in fan base that they can bring along which adds some business. i can't really imagine patrons commenting on how awesome ComputerProgram237888774 was at mixing tunes together last night. unless they actually have a physical robot body. dancing ceylon djs? yes please.
plus, this can already be done with pre recorded sets on cd, a phone, or a laptop...it is already that way in bars and lounges everywhere. i see iphones running pandora through a mixer channel when places don't have any djs slotted. so anyone who doesn't care about seeing a dj probably won't care about the difference of a cd playing or software making choices while "mixing." the people who do care probably won't be attending.

No...fuck you man, for posting the same tired subject which was discussed over a year ago.
Please, for the sake of yourself and your children's children, think before you believe you have something to say. This is OLD news, for everything you hold dear in your life, be it your job, your djing, the way you can cook, the way you make love to your partner...there is ALWAYS something which can do it too. And better.
Welcome to life.
