ianjohn Posted November 23 Report Share Posted November 23 There are a few exveptions to this, but most of the scene in NY is DEAD!!! In the past year I have had friends of mine that are DJs / Producers move away from NY because the scene is dying. To list a few examples: Tampa, Hardford, Italy. And I am probolly going back to California my self by the end of the year. This whole situation is frustrting. So... Here is a challange to all the clubs in NY. GET RID ON YOUR CD PLAYERS!!! AND DONT HIRE THE NEW TREND OF PCDJ ON THE LAPTOP DJS EITHER!!! Restrict the DJs on using turntables and see what happens. You might actually get real DJs and have a party that lasts more than 6 weeks.They say that since the innovation of CD players with pitch control, and .mp3 file downloads I can save money....NOT TRUE. I rather buy thr records and get all the gigs. Now anyone can be a DJ, (and a pretty sucky one at that). These ass holes that DL music, and play their CDs dont know shit about DJing. And they are taking my money! whats worse is now they have software that can DJ for you. SO anykid with a laptop can DJ now. Thats some whack ass shit. I had a friend who is very influential in the scene go to a party the other night. Went up to the DJ booth. 2 Turntables, 2 CD players, and his laptop computer. He didnt even know how to use the equepment, with the exception of his computer. God! If I ever see this, I am gonna smash ur little toy over your head. and tell you to get the fak out.

fram44 Posted November 23 Report Share Posted November 23 soo much drama on this board.....i started out mixing cds then went to vinyl.....now i buy my music......i like mixing records better than cds.....its my opinion.....just as it "some big dj's" opinion to use cds......sure it seems more respectable when djs spin vinyl, but if u closed ur eyes would u be able to tell the diff??? prob not....and if u could, u would have some pretty good ears......

ianjohn Posted November 23 Author Report Share Posted November 23 And another thing. Whats with these DJs that use the EFX-500 in between all of there transitions because they dont know how to match a beat and fade between songs??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umm...it's called ENHANCING a mix Ian..something you wouldn't be too familiar with...BTW..who's to judge what DJ's use...I'm sensing a little hostility here..I personally love vinyl and wouldn't use CD's..but..all the money I spent and spend has and never will be a waste of money..because if it's your passion and u are truly serious about yourself as an artist,then money should never be an issue..Unless you're a hobbyist...Next..."Niggerizin"Ya..I'm not feeling that too much myself...
