Haha I'm usually the same but thats due to the counter arguments being so ridiculously stupid.. like most of them in this thread.AxeD wrote:Could be because of me..

If he added "in my opinion" to the end then I couldn't say it was false because it's an opinion. But since he's claiming it's a fact I was just telling him he was wrong.ninjadog wrote:Vinyl has a better bass response
i agree with this totally, aswell youve got this mixed in key software now which just tells you what key each tunes in whats wrong with working it all out for yourself and finding the 2 tunes that sound amazing together?Muncey wrote:This thread is gold.

The fact people support the use of the sync button and have a computer do 99% of the work for you is laughable. Maybe you like to pay your hard earned money doing something a 4 year old could do with ease.. but I prefer to spend mine seeing DJs with actual skill.. a skill I aspire to have one day. DJing is about music, hence using your ears. Technology, however advanced, does not change that.
They kind of go hand in hand. Last great dj I saw was at festival so I never got his name, he was mixing up songs like no other, and the crowd was really cheering at each new drop. He was all vinyl BTW. Personally how quick a beatmatch gets made is not as impressive as how long a beatmatch can stay on point.AllNightDayDream wrote:So when you guys go out are you watching the dj the whole time assessing his "skill"? Do you judge the quality of the night by how quickly he can beatmatch a tune?
You lot sound fun
If the beat goes off after x amount of time, it isn't matched. I prefer to just dance, mingle, take in the vibes and have a good time, but I guess that's just me. A DJ plays tunes for people, and a good DJ is one I can musically relate to. Pretending he does any more is silly. You wanna be impressed? Go see someone who performs the tunes. If you go out to a club night to be impressed by someone who can make two records play at the same speed, I don't know what to tell you, your head might explode when you find out what happens when people actually create the music.ninjadog wrote:They kind of go hand in hand.

Well not perfectly matched anyway, if you have done this or noticed others doing it, every once in a while small adjustments need to be made to get it perfect.AllNightDayDream wrote: If the beat goes off after x amount of time, it isn't matched

Yeah, what are people thinking! Using the latest technology is for losers. Like all these new fangled gramophones playing music recorded to a shellac disc, its not natural and there's no skill in listening to it. The gramophone plays music for you without a live band! And its not as rewarding as beating a drum yourself for hours, which is what i do when i want to listen to music.Rekah wrote:i agree with this totally, aswell youve got this mixed in key software now which just tells you what key each tunes in whats wrong with working it all out for yourself and finding the 2 tunes that sound amazing together?

When i want to eat, i pick nuts and berries. Or i go out and bash an animal with a rock as i don't like to use a spear, its cheating. I then spend a few hours rubbing sticks together to start a fire, i don't want to use matches as its not real cooking. Much more rewarding to use twigs.
It would be much more rewarding to use twigs to start a fire, I guarantee you would never forget that fire as long as you lived.VirtualMark wrote:Yeah, what are people thinking!

Nonsense - i can't program in assembly, but i can use a computer. I've never had to use a washboard and mangle, but i can use a washing machine. As tech moves forward, things become redundant. Beatmatching is one of those things, it won't be an essential skill forever.deadly habit wrote:technology is great if you use it properly and can back track
if not and you're watching waveforms and pressing sync fuck off
Lol so i'm a thief who lives with my mum? And you moaned at me for 'personal insults', when i suggested you're either stupid or lazy for not being able to use google to check your incorrect facts.ninjadog wrote:It would be much more rewarding to use twigs to start a fire, I guarantee you would never forget that fire as long as you lived.
Learning how to dj by ear instead of digital crutches like bpm counters and waveforms WOULD make you a better dj period. Hitting sync on your controller mixing your stolen digital files is about as exiting as watching you play dj hero in your moms basement.
Yeah of course i've tried mixing, its good fun. I'm not great at it, at the moment i'm focusing on learning production. What's this got to do with the topic?Rekah wrote:Hahaha your a joke, you obviously have never tried mixing properly or chances are you can't actually mix
The kids 14, at that age i hated my dads music too. He'll probably like it when he grows up. Anyhow, thats 2 posts, 2 personal insults. You're really showing us that you're a rational person who knows how to discuss his viewpoints.Rekah wrote:the way vitrual mark goes on reminds me of this
