Re: The future of DJing?

Different indeed, could have interesting potential, now how are his songwriting skills?

Re: The future of DJing?

there's going to come a point in time where all djing is is simply pushing a button for tracks that have been preselected.

the future of djing, i'm beginning to think, has less to do with the tools at one's disposal, and more to do with overall track selection and the ability to read a crowd. anyone can have thousands of dollars of equipment, but if you can't pick good choons to hook the crowd in, then who cares if you've got mp3's, vinyl, cd's, or otherwise.

/will always be more impressed with people who use vinyl

Selection and Manipulation. A little channeling doesn't hurt. If that love was absent it did not mater who you were or what you had. You got no time.

A friend of mine once said...."if you have the opportunity to make it sound better, then why not."

i agree. I think what i was trying to address is that using all sorts of advanced technology doesn't make you better. I remember when Zabiela started using all sorts of effects (and lisle, and d:fuse, etc...) and it was like, wow, look how awesome that is. i also thought sasha's maven, when he started using it, was so fascinating in the way it was used and such. either of them could put on lame ass tracks and tweak it to make it sound good. (i think this could also be interpreted as they can choose mediocre tracks b/c of these effects units). But even that can only go so far. hmm...

Re: The future of DJing?

i wonder how these will market @

seems to me everyones struggling to get a decent set up these days because of cost

i guess this will be the next industry standard

Re: The future of DJing?

i want to see the microsoft touchscreen computers be developed in a different manner. it would be amazing to have the ability load up the master recordings right from / into a protools/abelton/reason type software that works with teh touchscreen. then clubs could install a large touchscreen in front of the booth and we could watch the DJ's build and change a set visually. the idea of linking a basic light programme into the individual parts of songs could be utilized as well. literally, they could play the whole club, from the music, to tteh lights to the ppl. think the computer from minority report, but controlling abelton live.

watch those vid's especially the one on the right, and think if protools could be applied. wow. live dj'ing/PA's would take a whole new level of tripping the fuck out.

Re: The future of DJing?

there are already touch screen midi controllers hitting the market just now but they retail @ £1500 +

I would rather invest that $ into tracks or production gear.

seriuosly, imagine if underworld had that technology for live shows. when the riff drops in born slippy or cowgirl......

depends if ur in it for the long term or not taylor, i think it would be a good investment tbh, expensive yes but if u take into consideration what it would save in the long run then u can easily see the advantages from this

Seems that nothing is long term when it comes to technology these days.

Re: The future of DJing?

You could also use this for controlling and it would look even cooler.

But in reality. I really don't think people are gonna wanna spend more money on these touchscreens than a turntable or CDJ.

And the future of Dj'ing is Richie Hawtin. That guy uses so much equipment in his sets it's insane.

Re: The future of DJing?

lmao yeah, richie hawtin brings more gear than pink floyd.

let's not talk about smokin' anyones ass mmkay? 'specially richies. :shock:

Re: The future of DJing?

I really don't think that anyone with two turntables could do anything close to what richie does. Maybe in showmanship type stuff...but you and I know that is NOT what we see dj's for. If it were all of us would be worshiping Q-Bert.

things is though jeff he was doing that years ago with just techniques, in about ten years from now u,ll be turning up to a gig with a jumpdrive with 4 decks a mixer and 10000 songs @ ur disposal all inclusive ( maybe a bit extreme but u know what i meen )

it's not about how much stuff you throw at it. at a certain point you can dissect the music so much and rearrange it enough times that eventually it loses something, and that's exactly what i hear when i go listen to hawtin live these days. so you're right, someone with two turntables, like baby ford for example, can't DO exactly what rich is doing with two turntables, but he's doing way more with lot less imo.

Re: The future of DJing?

does that guy bodzin ever play actual beats for more than 40 seconds at a time... see... that's where i kinda fell away from sasha, and why i never really loved zabeila live, when it became more about the gear and what the gear could do as opposed tyo what the music could do.

but alas,

check out this great video of lemur, this one isnt just a sampler of its abilities, but a highlight of what can be done on the fly with a 4/4 beat. the second half really shines in a live setting.

Re: The future of DJing?

I got ya Jenks. I totally understand where your coming from bro. Yeah I know, Hawtin gets tracks, and then spends his trips in between places cutting up the tracks. But that is one of the things that makes Richie, Richie. He's playing stuff you just CAN'T get anywhere. Kinda like back in 00-02 before the digital bump that made all these tracks available to everyone. No longer does the big dj's have tracks you can't find anywhere.

Those Lemurs are SICK!! There is so much cool shit you can do with them. And you DON'T have to be a programmer to use it. There is templates you can find through the jazzmutant site that can do all kinds of things. And it works great with Logic and Ableton.
