S4 spotting

S4 spotting

Just seen Will.I.Am DJ’ing with an S4 at the Teen choice awards on TV. Nice to see controllers like the S4 gaining some big show use. Even tho if I wouldn’t necessarily call Will I Am an active DJ.

will.i.am…teens choice awards…big show…does not compute

Did he even mix? or just fade songs in and out which is what you’d expect an award show Dj to do. That hardly showcases the s4s capabilities

whats up with his hair?

bad threat start…and is OT…double whammy…watch our for the horde…

I think the point is that Will I Am, is pretty freaking successful in the music industry and he can pick and choose whatever the hell he wants to play on, with, etc. If he was using it during a BBQ with some friends, it would still be pretty neat.

NI probably paid him

Or it could be that TSP is the pro platform that allows people with no idea how to mix to do it by letting the program do the work for them. Just sayin.

Or maybe he just thinks the s4 is a shit hot controller and Traktor is his DJ software of choice! I agree with Haze, it’s pretty cool that someone so big in the music industry is using this controller and software.

This guy is a massive music maker and has lots of respect in the music industry. Just caught me off gaurd as I was flicking through channels to see an S4. I don’t give a shit if he can mix or not, it was just an intersting find alot of you gotta stop hating everything.

And he was using beats by dr.dre ? DJ will.i.am ?

hello exponent

DJ Will.I.Am.A.Corporate.Whore

Man some of you guys here have become some freaking haters for real.

If it’s not some underground, rave in a forrest party then it must be crap. Sky Blue from LMFAO also uses an S4 and when he played in Vegas using a Midi Fighter, this board thought it was the coolest shit and guess what — he also had Beats By Dre’s on. It’s part of that side of the music culture. Guess what, Will I am, probably doesn’t need to wear gloves either to DJ, but he is.

Black Eyed Peas and LMFAO are 1000 times bigger than anyone we have on this board, and we hate on them for using an S4. Hahahahahah. Man get a grip fellas. The guy could be on two CDJ 2000’s and a DJM 900, but instead chose an S4. That’s pretty freaking neat.

Damn F#%king Right!:sunglasses::smiley::sunglasses::smiley:

What makes that neat?

Surely the more publicity NI and the likes get from influential people using their gear the more popular they become! Which inevitably will lead to more R&D and lots more great products to follow!! Seems quite simple really.

^this!

An S4 is quite typical

if you get off to someone on TV using the same controller as you then you probably need to get out more! :slight_smile:

It’s just cool watching the progress of controllers from when many of us were on the VCI was kind of it…

This site is fundamentally for controller based djs. Ean Golden helped design the thing and now it’s getting recognition from some big peeps. So good for Ean and good for DJTT

That’s “neat” IMO

I think it’s neat. I don’t get the jaded bile coming out of some of us here. Why get all wound up over someone doing an event with plugs from manufacturer X?

This ^

Coming from a guy who had the original VCI 100 and got looked down upon at the time and watching controller DJ’ing grow in the mainstream and sticking to my guns and embracing what controllers have to offer.
