DJing is an artform cat. This takes all the fun out of it. It shows a lack of willpower to simply allow of computer to beatmatch. Beatmatching is djing 101, and not the entire name of the game. You are forgetting about that the ability to perform scratching tricks, juggling, sound sampling with the crossfader, and other crossfader techniques. Beatmatching is not everything, and not all kinds of music can be properly mixed with beatmatching alone. Proper mixing of music goes way way beyond that rudimentary skill. -------original message-------------- To follow up with more vitriol, if you have to touch the records when you mix techno or house, you are wasting a lot of energy, a digital setup can beatmatch for you if you switch to CDs. ------------------------------------- dxm (dan) ------------- robi@booyaka.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
