Do any of you real DJ’s play DJ hero?
Last night i got to the stage where i wanted to throw my vinyls out the window as i was too drunk to beatmatch, and was making a fool of myself infront of friends.
So we took a walk down to tesco for some food and DJ hero was reduced to £35, and ive got to say i enjoyed rocking a single turntable untill the early hours of the morning.
do any of you guys have DJ hero? and wish to share your x360/PSN tags for high score sharing 
I bought it awhile ago and figured at a later point someone would make a mod where I could use it for something… mabey have it on the floor and use it with my foot.
I played it for 40 minutes.. but realized that Im not into this kind of gaming of timing and watching colored stuff fly at me.
Its just a game… And if it influences kids to start djing then thats awesome. Personally there is no difference the moment someone decides to start djing for whatever reasons.
Over the years there are more and more djs.. and everyone has their own motivation for doing it.
The same thing any kid experiences in DJhero when something neat happens is the exact same thing that any pro dj experiences… Its called music and having some influence on the outcome is no different.
At this point/era of djing controllerism there is a very thin line between dj hero and what is happening in the dj booth for some of the software out there being used.
I mean if you use AUTOSYNC, then really what the difference… the error factor is being removed and the dj experience is more user friendly. Im not trying to diss controlerism, Im just stating my opinion on how easy and simple it is to dj now with programs like traktor or serato itch. Its a great thing… for people who want to have a fast learning curve and get right to the fun stuff which originally required actuall hard work and for some like myself able to cross a gap which wasnt possible before… that being beatmatching…
So DJ hero is the future of djing, mabey not today, mabey not tommorrow.. but when all of you here that are new.. and have logged in 1000 hours of djing and are really great at your style or technique… Dont be suprized when the software and controllers are as simple as djhero and can rock the dancefloor as good as any dj… Its all about the music right, and wanting to become a Dj hero (no pun intended)
i’ve got dj hero on 360 (BradCee - how creative, lol), enjoy it for occasional mess abouts, but doesn’t feel like i’m djing
if there was a way to use the vci 100 se to play Djhero, I might consider getting one. Lots of audio applications are already crossed over into video games.
DJ Hero is exactly what it is… a game. Of course it’s not going to be anything like real DJ’ing… is Guitar Hero anything like playing a real guitar? I’m sure that for DJ’s, it’s going to be hard to not criticize the game for how “real” the game feels and I can’t blame anyone that can’t get over using a plastic controller that has 3 buttons on the turntable platter, but if you can get over that aspect then you have yourself one hell of a game with an intense soundtrack consisting of a whole heap of crazy mashups.
i lack the attention span needed to appreciate videogames. usually get bored after 5-15 minutes.
I think how real djing feels is subjective with all of todays controllers. People who only use vinyl must have scoffed at the CDJ revolution for several reasons.. one that you can suddenly have music you dont physically own vs the vinyl making djs more unique. And now you have people with huge libraries with music they dont own being autosynced. Djhero is essentiall the same thing…
Lets say traktor comes out with a new feature that blinks some button on a analyzed mp3 to let you when to hit the sample button. This wont be far away.
I have not tried DJ Hero and I dont think I ever will lol
this. but i might try it as a joke
Damn those kids haven’t even learned to masturbate yet. 
the ugly suckling thing is cool as shit tho
hell no! 
Ill play any xbox game, I get to claim them on taxes so its all free to me..
When I got djhero.. I plugged it in.. turned it on… had a go for 2-3 hours.
After that I never played it again. I did google dj hero midi mods… and found a few… but nothing substantial to even bother. The way I see it.. is I wouldnt even want a usb slot taken up. One day I might buy a latex horror halloween mask and cut it up into parts and glue them onto the controller so it ends up looking like a zombie roadkill or something like that.. then I might let it take up a usb slot so it is not as obvious. There is one thing that is for sure… The kids of today who master dj hero … will one day show timing skills on regular dj controllers that will make your current skill with timing seem so basic that it will be embarrassing.
the tekken generation who embraces djing one day will have mad combos that will knock the socks off of us old timers.
Its a hard concept to let your pride swallow, but these kids will be the next generation of Dj heros.
Its alot like MMA, kids today who train mma are going to have such well rounded skills when they are older that the sport will end up being total chess matches.
i tried it and i sucked…some hipster jumped on after me and kill it.
I actually got it for Xmas and had some fun playing it over the holidays last year. Until my wife’s 10 yr old little sister and her 10 year old friend came over and totally destroyed me at it. Then i really didnt feel like playing anymore.
Dudeeee look at those kids, incredible.
My son is gonna grow with a room full of midi controllers.
LOL
In the other hand i believe this kind of games are gonna evolve from time to time, as guitar hero started including real string maybe the dj hero will evolve in another interesting way.
very good point… They should have a mode where you can use the controllers to mix mp3s that are on the xbox HD. Then if you mod your xbox , in the future homebrew mixing applications could be used. Or even emulate Traktor and any USB midi device could use the xbox.
The future will be a fun place for the kids of tommorrow
I played with it and beat it in a day or so. Havent really played with it that much since that 1 day lol.
Oh and if i do indeed have a son/daughter i will be in the delivery room holding a midi controller & a macbook in front of them!!
I just got DJ Hero 2 today, its neat, but all I wanted was the controller (to use with traktor for fun) and the free Puma bag you got for preordering.
Also, my gamertag is SNolan52
back from the dead
I tried playing it, but wasn’t too keen on it
