It's not that uncommon among DJ's to not understand musical structure. Almost every time I go out these days I hear a DJ mix together two tracks that are off measure. House and techno tends to stay around 8 measure progressions and it sounds funky when a DJ isn't aware of this and drops in a track on the wrong measure. Just last weekend my partner and I played at a party at a friends house where the DJ mixed two tracks which were on the wrong beat in the measure! This guy was somebody who was getting flown all over the country to spin and he can't even figure out where in the measure he is! Oh well. I'm not a classicly trained musician myself but that's rediculous! -robert --> __ _ _ _____ _____ _____ / _\ | || || _ \|_ _|/ _ \ / /_\\ | -- || |_) | _| |_ | (_) | ______________ /______\\____/|_____/|_____|\_____/ ( *electronic* ) "Thanks for the technical data.
