what up,
so i had a gig this past weekend--which went very well...anyhow i was the only dj using trakor. there were 4 other djs. one spun cds, one spun on serato with vynl, one with torq and the xponent, and the other with just vynl.
3 of the 5 djs had a laptop: 1 mac vs 2 pcs
when we were setting up before the show one of the djs asked me what do you spin on --i said i use traktor / vci 100 / and a motu ultralite....
now this was a guy who just uses serato and 2 timecoded records...he pretty much looked at me and said " Huh"?!
i said its a midi controller man...and this is my soundcard...i then explained to him how it all works, and how to route the sound, and let him mess with it....
after a couple minutes everyone from the club promoters to the sound engineer were up in the dj booth talking about this... i then let the guy with the xponent and torq show him his unit...
it was pretty cool. i was expecting these guys who dont use torq or traktor to be like --your not a dj...your lettting your comp do it ...or just hate on it....but it fact the more they got educated the more --the more compliments i got.
it just goes to show that theres love for the next wave in dj gear....and with sites like this, and more people bringing our type of gear to the clubs..it will soon be the norm.
keep rockin yall!
