especially because traktor can be used with a hardware dj mixer if you choose, traktor will 'teach' you many aspects of djing. you'll learn phrasing, programming, eq/efx/sample work, some tricks, etc.. but the one thing that traktor will not teach you is the single greatest key to mixing on turntables (also the single most difficult thing): beat matching. traktor does this automatically whereas with real decks you have to figure it out yourself, usually after many many frustrating trainwrecked hours of sounding like utter crap. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
