Online DMC Round 2 midi & TouchOSC
The controller looks interesting gotta say.
I saw the post in the controller section, and your old one when you had your little rant a while back 
I think you could have a market for that - itās going in the right direction cos tablets will replace laptops eventually - good luck with it
But I have to say youāre a better designer than dj - no offence !
Thanks, none taken.
You havenāt seen me DJ yet, youāve seen me being producer, cameraman, soundman, lighting, director and star all at once. This aināt like those videos where one guy jumps on the decks and thatās all he has to deal with 
Try making a production with some music that hasnāt been battled to death, with tricks that havenāt been the same since 98, and film all of it by yourself, oh and make it come in exactly at two minutesā¦you may decide Iām a lot better than you initially thought
Hereās another rant, the day will come when 90% of the stuff in the DMC lately will be shown for the boring repetitive shite that it is, but my work, and even this post will be DJ history.
And if anyone out there is watching this video and thinking it is simple, thank you. That means Iāve done a good job and made it look that way. Thanks for watching and reading.
Nothing about your post will come remotely close to DJ history.
I like the equipment. Looks pretty interesting and clean.
Why not?
Care to enlighten me?
You ever hear that old saying āpost a file Ā£!Ā„ā¬#ā
I like a good debate as much as the next guy, but I at least want to know who Iām dealing with.
So post your links, Iāll see if you have an āopinionā or only an āassumptionā and theN weāll discuss what constitutes DJ history
Thank you
hey man, marketing tip, I advise not calling the DMCās shit on a DJ forum. And saying what youāre doing will be DJ history is your opinion, let things like that become fact before you brag about them. But I do really dig your controller, its kinda like
Props on your controller man
i didnĀ“t really like the routine but hell you built yourself a nice controller man. cool concept!
you arrogance is outstanding man, makes me laugh everytimeā¦ sorry to be a jerk lol
on a more serious note am I the only one who doesnāt understand the revolutionary crossfader on top dealā¦ it defies logical design concepts for two basic reasonsā¦ You have your hand over the screen when using it, which presumably you are watching the track feedback with so you are in essence blind, this isnāt an issue for anyone with experience, but noobs will be detered from using it which would be the target market.
The other more important reason is you could touch the screen accidently causing the music to jump or worse stop, this is completely avoidable with traditional layout of the crossfaderā¦ And why not think about what the most important element is in a dj setup, and donāt say jogwheelsā¦ look at what the idjpro is missing for a hintā¦ For this part of the setup touch is no substitute for the control you get from something you can grab a hold of.
Now back to the arroganceā¦ everyone will think your a douchebag if your the only one saying that your great, let other people come to their own conclusion before you ramm how awesome you are in their face. And people would be a lot more receptive and constructive if you showed some restraint. You should also look at these forums as what they truly are āthe best market research tool you can haveāā¦ most industries would kill for this kind of access to their target markets opinion. but instead your concept threads are about your personality not your designā¦ seems counter productive to me. 
Not even a good entertaining troll. Fail.
I Watched this a few times before deciding to shoot my mouth off.
- Its not that hard to set up a camera and hit record.
- Its not that hard to edit out the beginning and ending of a video so we donāt see you getting in behind the decks
- The lighting is unspectacular
- Hitting the record button and doing multiple takes in traktor/vdj etc is not a big deal ?
- A big clock takes care of the exactly 2 minutes lark.
- You can sync the video and audio easily using a clap to sync the frames in iMovie/microsoft movie maker or software of your choice afterwards.
- You have contained successfully an iPad running touch OSC or Lemur and 2 midi controllers in a white boxā¦ congratulations, I donāt see anything amazing about it ?, when you are running the entire rig solely on the iPad Iāll start being impressed.
Make a video of you āactuallyā DJāing then for 10 or 20 mins doing something spectacular and Iāll re-judge but I would not be using your āskillsā as lighting/camera/director/soundman to offset a shoddy performance - just set up a camera hit record and play and show us your mad skillz.
Maybe its just me but I just feel you have a chip on your shoulder for whatever reason about others ( both hardware manufacturers and DJās) who are the music business, and have been for many years.
You have overconfidence without substance ā¦
IMHO of course.
I liked the juggling didnāt think that was possible without turntables and your right about the dmc id say since 2002 tho when it started same sounds same routineā¦and became just 
.
thank you.
Iāve been in every round of the Online DMC so far. the only person who got more views than me was unkut, but in total my vids last year got more views than anyone else, so Iām in some position to give my opinion of the current state of the contest.
while Iām doing that, I will remind us all that if there wasnāt a problem of the productions becoming too similar (and some other problems) then the DMC wouldnāt have began the Online Contest in the first place.
ok
yea, because since this idiot donāt know me, Iām a troll.
kids are d a f these days
without substance, why because you donāt know who I am. haha
I Watched this a few times before deciding to shoot my mouth off.

[/quote]yep, everything looks easy when someone else is doing it. so really? thatās your theory, what IāVE bulit is simple, what IāVE performed is simple,

Oh my god this guy again.
Play it nice people or this thread is getting closed
Itās not what you use but how you use it.
No need to be so full of yourself, this forum doesnāt need attitudes like this.
The BCF is a great controller
Just wanted to pop in and say thank you to everyone for listening and watching.
Iāve been thinking about the stuff that has been said here.
Iām going to hold on to my belief that I have created DJ history. The main reason I feel strongly about this is that we are here on a site, where a guy got known for changing out some buttons on a controller. What Ean did is definitely DJ history, and I think my creation of a platform agnostic controller, which speaks to the current need of integrating a tablet is equally historic.
Iād also like to address the claims of āboastingā
I would that you all keep in mind, that from my point of view, having been the person creating sketches of controllers, clearly defining them during phone calls or forum posts, and continually being told I was āwrongā or āsillyā(not unlike several of you have done here) and then seeing MY ideas come to life in physical form, Iām not bragging, Iām standing up for my rights. Iām also standing up for the rights of anyone who enters an arrangement in good faith only to be exploitedāsee ābeta-testingā-- because if you actually do any work during the testing, youāre more likely to get a āyouāre welcomeā than a āthank-youā
I love all this stuff passionately, and I put every ounce of that passion into created new ways of performing and now, new tools with which to perform. If anyone thinks the speaking the truth about what Iāve done and seen, and the role Iāve played with creating financially successful products is boasting, so be it. Imagine if your boss told you, āso what you worked 20 hours of overtime this week, STOP Bragging about it, cause I aināt paying youā This is my story, itās MY story, and Iām going to tell it.
Finally Iāll address, the āsee me perform as a DJ via a videoā issue. I have zero interest in making video content with music that I do not own, but I put together a mix of āelectro-swingā for ya
If the mixing style is overly simple or by any accounts bad, well the truth is I donāt want it to be good enough for someone else to play as their, so I do those things on purpose. But I also hold very distinct views, from experience about how many people actually just want us to ālet the song playā and so I always work a bit of that into my style.
