digitalextacy Posted August 4 Report Share Posted August 4 Francios K uses laptops and software to mix. Or unmix cause he's not traditional in that sense. But he doesn't do it so he can go to the bar and mingle. He does it so he can wild out on the efx. Thats a real software dj to me better than most dj's no matter what devices they implement to play. So instead of thinking of it as a device to ease think of it as a way to add expression to what your doing. aka adding efx, filters, and whatever else you can do with software, hardware, and mental progression.

nomembername Posted August 4 Report Share Posted August 4 wouldnt it be more accepting to the crowd as a whole to have a partner in the club with the dj...and have that person every few moments inviting people to the booth?not sure if that's a good idea...i'm sure a dj wouldn't want to be bothered by random people in the booth while he is working...seems like it would be too much of a distraction and might take away from the music a bitbut thanks for seeing it from my point of view Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r3t4rd3d Posted August 6 Report Share Posted August 6 It's not like such a special skill. Half the people I knew in University could mix, maybe scratching is more skill-oriented but not every dj scratches. Software like Ableton's Live 5 allows you to easily mix mp3's so you can concentrate on using efffects, creating loops, adding beats... you can do some really fucked up shit with a laptop, Live and a MIDI controller. Plus, then you don't have to haul around 200 pounds of vinyl everywhere you go... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted August 7 Report Share Posted August 7 better yet we should just do away with dj's all together, have us (the people) vote each week on what tracks we want to hear. Club owners can just teach monkeys how to push buttons, have them spin for us and pay them in bananas, while dj's are out of work and then they can chill and get fucked up with us on the weekends...
