This +1.
Just like the old man that sits at the side of the road shouting at cars, ignore him. Theres no point asking him what wrong him cus he will be incoherent and probably have pissed his pants.
Haha, I said “if the DJ uses the sync feature in Traktor, it’s irrelevant to how his mix is structured and sounds. If his mixes suck and are not very creative, then yeah, it is a disgrace.”
And then I went on to say how this is Facebook, and not Twitter, so I don’t know what’s up with the # signs. This guy is part of one of those idiotic promotion groups that think they know what they’re doing, but their idea of a good mix is playing a track then pull a backspin and start up the next one.
Just respond, “pics or it didn’t happen.”
Otherwise I’d respond saying, “yea, I like it better when it’s out of sync.”
This.
Your not going to change their mind, or even get a coherent thought out of them…
So why bother?
No, I don’t, I choose that vid for the song. not to be OT, jus cuz I’m in the US doesn’t mean I have anything against soccer and or something for football. 
why do most guys laugh at people using a synch button ???
silly rabbits…
Naa. Unless u just feel like mixin it up.
I feel you. I’ve been deejaying for 16years. I use Traktor now and I use the sync button.
hahaha
I use the sync button all the time. Not cus ive done enough fucking gigs on vinyl and cd to care, although i have. Not cus i dont need to prove i can mix anymore, although i dont.
Not cus it gives me time to be creative with loops/fx etc, although i do do all that stuff.
I use sync cus its there to be used and … i like drinking and talking with clubbers and its got fuck all to do with anyone else especially some twat on Facebook who probably doesnt even DJ to anyone.
What a tit.
i hilighted that whole post hoping to find the joke.
im kidding.
lol you aint kidding… i know because i did the exact same thing 
Why people make a big deal out of it is beyond me … beatmatching WAS necessary because of a limitation of the hardware being used.
Bah , my head hurts.
If you are DJing with a computer, I see no reason not to sync. Why would I go through the effort of manually beatmatching when:
#1. I spent a ton of time beatgridding all of my tracks
#2. I can SEE the bpm of the next track coming even before I load the track into the deck.
It’s just more work and time that I would rather put into something else while making a set.
Honestly, if somebody is djing with a computer, I better not hear a single trainwreck. With technology these days, a crowd shouldn’t be subjected to trainwrecks ever again!

To be honest, I am NOT a DJ (yet) and I’ve just come into the scene the last few weeks, as my son and I are looking to start a new hobby together, which is DJing or rather mixing songs (for a start).
And if two discussions ever stick out like a soar thumb in the DJ scene that I’ve noticed, it is this one and the “vinyl vs. digital” discussions. They actually go hand in hand, as I see it.
It is also amazing the passion put into the argumentation. And you know what, nobody is wrong in the end. It is not wrong to want to use vinyl and beatmatch using the techniques needed to get it done right. Yes it takes more time, but then the people see you working turntables and they know you are doing a great job, when one song seamlessly blends into the next.
You also aren’t wrong, when you use the sync button and the same thing happens. That is the goal, right? Mix two unmatched songs together and make them match in tempo and both methods get you there.
The discussions about this issue is an argumentation of view points and is totally useless. The view points will always be different, as long as people feel differently about them. There is no “right way” here. There is just the more efficient, “new school” way and there is the skilled “old school” way. Both reach the same goal. The argumentation from the one side comes from the missing “skill” in the sync button, which isn’t right or wrong. Just as the argumentation from the other side is, it saves me time to do other things. Also not right or wrong. Everyone has to decide that on his or her own personal preference as a DJ. In the end, the crowd decides, if you’ve made the right choice and most of the time, they could care less how the songs are mixed together, they are only interested in having fun.
My son and I are going the digitalist route. Why? Because we both share a passion for computers, software and, believe it or not, we have the same taste in music. We WILL be using the sync button and I personally don’t care what the vinylist thinks about it. We will have to learn a lot. Maybe one day we will also learn how to beat match on turntables. Who knows? I personally wouldn’t laugh at the idea, as it IS a skill a DJ should understand. At least the understanding of what beatmatching is all about is definitely necessary and means a lot more than just pressing a button.
