Bit sad this has become an S4 forum…

Just saying, this community was born from something really original and true to djing (remapping the VCI-100, overlay, arcade buttons etc) and I know all is good and is still the place to be etc… just saying… it felt like a hidden gem before.

Reading people getting vexed about late delivery and shit just makes me think this site is in danger of loosing some it’s original spirit.

I think the S4 looks badass, I may even get one but I dunno.

Reckon it was a cool moment in time when DJTT was all about taking a decent controller and DIY modding it into something cool and powerful and unique…

Just saying is all

Me loves me DJTT innit

It won’t last too long, just until the initial hype dies down. At least there’s a separate S4 section now.

3

fear not, I belive people will start modding and mapping their S4. Besides, not everyone in here is getting one and one product can’t kill our nerdy spirit :wink:

4

is this about the S4 or is it really about the focus moving away from the controller you own, VCI-100…

if it’s any consolation there are regulars here like myself who don’t use either.. hell i don’t even use traktor pro.

<----Traktor3 + UC33e + Oxygen8 :slight_smile:

I would provide help & support with the S4, but Im not high enough in the DJ world to get a demo S4 from NI. Heck I would be open to doing live chats thru AIM/Yahoo or Google…but once again I havent won a DMC title or have mad scratching skills.

6

thats the business decision DJTT made when they became a NI tester/reseller IMO. These are just extra NI support forums these days.

Cha-ching

I think there’s a lot of good information on here anyhow. It’s a matter that the S4 is the biggest, newest, and shiny’est controller out there at the moment.

With DJTT being the leading forum on the controller front, of course you’re going to have a lot of information on it and people being really excited about it. Hell, Traktor is even getting a facelift with it, and learning more about that is going to help a lot of people with very different systems.

I like a bit of geeky new tech, so I tend to get far more annoyed by the ‘Just starting, what gear should I buy’, ‘I can’t monitor from my onboard soundcard’, ‘My cracked Traktor 1.2.4 crashes’ threads, the questions that get asked over and over and over again.

But then I have a cuppa tea and it’s all OK

All the S4 threads are now in the S4 forum arent they..?

I dont see the issue.

I come here to get away from constant NI talk so im still hanging in the General Forum.

When i first joined here i said that i might not have much to offer as i didnt have a VCI and member Chilly said i was talking bollocks cus this isnt a VCI forum its a controllerism/tech forum… still its in my view.

When the dust settles on the S4 things will be back to normal.

My biggest concern is that people arent drinking enough and there arent enough embarrassing drunken posts these days.

Kids are getting to cool for school ???

That’s not really a fair charge. The S4 is the latest toy, so of course it’s a big deal. But if you look in the show your gear thread, you’ll see a lot of people with wildly different, varied setups. It’s my thought that this is the point of DJTT… customizing your rigs for your own mixing style and discussing these ideas (although I’m new, so maybe I don’t know anything). Certainly, the S4 has a place in some people’s setups :slight_smile:.

11

Ill tell you this much, I dont get paid to be a mod here on DJTT. I do it to help this dope ass dj community.

12

When someone makes extream claims as such,

Turntables are Dead
Max for Live ruined Ableton
Touch Screens are the Future
This has become and S4 forum

etc etc etc… blah blah blah

It always sounds like some disgruntled girlfriend saying something like

You never spend time with me anymore
or
You always do such and such

whaaa whaaa whaa

i did a drunken rhyme in the latest love karlos thread.head in my hands moment when i read it the next day:open_mouth: deleted it sharpish.

the last 2 lines i think were:-

with all the equipment that he owns,
he’s definately not on the dole.:eek:

14

hahahahahahahaha…brilliant!

15

Yeah everything will be back to normal before long, pretty sure I can see S4 Thread titles scrolling past when I close my eyes atm moment though…

16

Serato gets no love on this forum= fact

17

If you want to talk about something else… make a thread?

Amusingly, you’ve created a thread touching on a topic you don’t wish to discuss.

Something has to be in fashion right now, and the S4 is it, it’ll be something else soon. Filter out the noise if it bothers you :slight_smile:

18

agreed. Its like a schoolyard argument on here every time serato is mentioned. I guess it might be because you can’t downlaod a cracked version of Serato, buy a cheap controller and think you are a superstar…

19

I think we’d all be surprised how many Serato users are members. Maybe Serato doesn’t get much love because there are simply better resources/forums elsewhere?

20

I <3 serato

I use serato on a regular basis, its a great program, I dont see too much interest in the program. Usually when they have a update or beta I post on the DJTT forums.
