It's unusually high this time

Table fetish?

Keep going at it Shayper, we all start somewhere.

Looks like you are doing well and enjoying it, which is all that matters.

I remember when he was still using ironing boards. You HAVE come a long way Shayper, keep it up

When I grow up I want to be just like Skidder.

See thats the point, he may be more grizzled, but he hasn't grown up.

Pfft, when all the cool kids be like 'maaan I love Shayper's new material' I be all like 'duuude, I remember his ironing board days'...

Thankyou

If there's a party that requires it, the ironing board shall rise again!

Already hitched but if you fancy a knee trembler.......

Fail analogy is fail.

It's not about technology.
The technology is great and as Shayper points out there is skill involved. The emoticon denotes me not being entirely serious.

It being slightly tongue in cheek doesn't alter the fact that the 'new way of DJing' is a hell of a lot easier and for an old fart like me that used/uses vinyl it's something that I don't want to lose.
It's an art! I'm sure Shayper will agree with me on that.

I can see the convenience behind CDJs, simply because most clubs don't maintain vinyl turntables. Also more resistance to skipping and vinyl is obviously more expensive than WAV/MP3. However, it takes far more raw ability to produce a seamless live mix on a set of 1210's. The skill needed to mix without trainwrecking on 2-4 turntables for any length of time is unbelievable. This is probably why top end vinyl DJ's on occasion, still clash and make mistakes. Shayper mentioned Hatcha; he was a terrible DJ who could barely beatmatch when he used vinyl, now he's using CDJs and double dropping like there's no tomorrow.

At the end of the day 99% of punters see a DJ for the music, not for his/her ability. They don't care if the medium is through an iPod, Albeton, CDJs or vinyl turntables. It's music and that's all that matters.

I have massive respect for the likes of Mala and London Elektricity who still roll with vinyl in their respective genres though.

Tell me that doesn't require skill

Mate of mine recently got an S4 for Traktor, had a play with it over the weekend, and it is actually pretty good (speaking as someone who has used 12"s for 15 years).

 

[Robi]

I actually use both Serato and vinyl, have done for years. Not feasible to use solely vinyl and I don't like the concept of using CDJs. Mixing real and digital vinyl is the only option for me

It does!

That is friggin' awesome. Want moar. Where do I get/download? I have no clue what sub-genre this even is, I can't catch up these days.

EDIT: This is smart:

I take it these things auto quantitise because it all sounds far too tight to be proper realtime.
