the "dj" needs to disappear imho.

(Jan 30 07, 11:45)* that's "dj" as in the word/ term used to describe people who play dance oriented music, whatever their prefered format may be.
and for the record, i'm a huge music fan of all flavors.. no dj hate here.

oh yeah.. and something else..
I can't take a dj, I dont mind them. to me is a music selector that's it.
If I agree with his selections then I will like it, even if he started djing an hour ago.If he starts playing mash ups and ruining my favorite tunes, then I will probably not like it and will most likely leave the venue. Even if he is djing for 35 years straight.
I dont care about this so called "mixing skills" to me its all about taste, you play what I like, I like you.. you play crap, I won't.

big name djs, A-listers who have the money and go mixing off their laptops has always been something that i never liked. they have the money and connections in the industry to get basically what they want, dubplates cut, promos and tracks on cdr-s, but just want to go to only laptops is not very good. i think a real dj has the skill to use vinyl, cdr, laptops, all the different types of media at their disposal (not just using a laptop) and then make some good stuff with skill.

I think all this ableton, Reason, Traktor thing managed to destroy electronic music.
Its just sooooo boring.
it all sounds the same.
Musicians should take their eyes off the computer screens and concentrate on the music.

It still takes a lot of thought and skill to find music and put it together in an order that's going to be right for the situation – and that's what a DJ does.
Rant over!

--------come on! it doesnt really.
it takes
- latest copy of ur fav dj magazine to find out which songs are HOT!
- limewire do download these songs for free
- throw them into live6 which beatmatches it all for you
- apply filters
and hey presto you are a cutting edge dj just blasted out a set thats guaranteed to have people dancing.
if youve been doing this for years and consider yourself 'skilled', i bet myself or anyone elso who hasnt used ableton for mixing could spend a few hours putting together a set that would equal yours on all levels.

learn a proper instrument!
...like the spoons.
- DaveO0
Indian_pole – I play guitar and drums and have done for longer than I've DJed.
23Kon – you can say that about anything and any DJ really. Even graphic design to an extent. Beatmatching's a one dimensional skill. People can get two records going at the same speed, but there;s no development on that, just how quick you can do it.
ableton gives you the opportunity to re-edit stuff as you're playing it, take loops out and craft new tracks and sounds......which is far more creative than just getting two pieces of plastic to go the same speed.

(Jan 31 07, 04:12)haha! you're either very funny or a clueless moron
- indian_pole0
i was kiddin dude, (hence the spoons comment!) i'm a musician too and played with a few scratch/sampler dj's recording and live. it's as much of an instrument as the next.
ableton sounds cool, my bro in-law swears by it. might check it out.
- DaveO0
Yeah, I might have hijacked this thread in an ableton love exercise. For me, it's been such fun to use and my DJ sets have been blown wide open by it, so yeah. It's wicked; and this kind of DJing isn't going to go away!
Plus you can check your emails when you're DJing!
