Laptop djs you cheating cnuts

Strangely, most of the laptop dj haters don’t ever talk about laptop production.



Why is dj’ing with a laptop cheating, while using Ableton instead of an analog mixer and multitrack tape recorders for production not cheating?

Tbh I hate clicking a mouse and I use mainly outboard synths and drum machines but I’m probably in a minority here

End of the day, vinyls always work. You can rely on them.



A laptop just has a tendency to malfunction when you don’t want it to!

:slight_smile:




i was a vinyl and CD Dj . but now i use a laptop to Dj.

i just hate to see laptop Djs playing a set hat was prepared 5 hours before the show, i would rather prefer to play some other artist mix CD. than just listening a set that is dull and boring.

the same rules of Djing still apply . make the crowd happy , choose your tracks to play in that moment ( not setting a Dj set before the show , use your feelings to see what might they want to listen .ETC). and of course have fun doing it. ( abusing traktor effect for example ) .



Djing in laptop is not as different as Djing in vinyl . beat matching is dead . if you can tell the difference between a digital copy and a analog copy (vinyl) then you might be the only one alive who notice it . get over it and ADAPT :stuck_out_tongue:

I know what your saying but that would mean that any live act would fall in to the same category - just play devil’s advocate as its Halloween :w00t:

im preparing a live act that’s all done through Maschine. Basically, I will be creating about an hours worth of tracks mixed together(like an album… i guess).



then for the live act I will be messing with the patterns and scenes to create a stronger mix than the last. So when my set is done i save it then at the next show i start with that mix and completely mess around with it all over again.



Creatively I think anything like that is not cheating:P



I think Sasha is a great example of a laptop dj who isn’t cheating

SO if you keep messing about & starting from the very last point every time - how many days will it take to make an hours worth of music into white noise? :stuck_out_tongue: :smiley:

NOW - If you were to start off with a hours worth of white noise & then work backwards… slowly making it into music… MAN! That would be something!!! :wink: :hehe: :smiley: :cool:

Wouldn’t it be cool to start a set with white noise, some kind of cool spooky v/o “First there was the void…” then add a kick, get the white noise pumping along with it and intro different elements, bass and so on.


No :stuck_out_tongue:

you see, THAT’s why I don’t DJ :smiley:

Ah no… Only joking mate!!

Paul would like the idea of that I think :smiley:
