| ahahahahaha...did you know that Girltalk plays pre made sets out of cool edit? Fuckinglol. I agree that ableton is a great tool man,but sorry most of the time 46 tracks piled on top of each other sounds like shit.
Luciano,Hawtin,Pheek (plays his own music) are good with ableton. Girl Talk???? Shit thats lol. Pre made sets are fucking lame...and don't argue that they arent i was in the booth in Syracuse when my friend opened for him. Nothing more than press play and start dancing aroundlike an idiot. Don't get me started on ableton peeps who play shit illegal vinyl rips that arent available digitally. (without paying for the software either.)
Gaysauce. |

| Yes i agree, they should also make programs that pick the songs for the "dj" and do everything fucking for him so he can have more time to do lines off your moms ass. IPOD BATTLE!
yes only dj's should pay for music. All the time producers spend in the studio making tracks should not be compensated so you can butcher their shit for free. Last time i checked you weren't making any money off these tracks but are still a fucking tool. |

| Pre-made sets are definitely the worst of the lot. Even though I don't like when performers don't mix such as ipod battles, ableton whatever...if they are choosing the tracks live, then I have to respect them as selectors. More than half of what makes a Dj good is being able to read the crowd and choosing the proper next track. Mixing is mostly technical and can be learned at least at a basic level by anyone, so even though these douche bags should learn how to mix properly, there are few djs that are capable of mixing sounds better than what producers could make with all the time and resources that are available at home. What is good? I think that depends on whether you want to hear live, maybe slightly clashing beats where someone has spent alot of time learning their tracks and the technical aspects of mixing or if you want to hear perfect tracks that someone has put alot of time into creating. Sure it would be awesome, if someone knew how to mix, mash, beat juggle their own tracks, but as my friend pointed out, how many producers have time to learn how to beat juggle? Or vice-versa? I know some of the worst mixes I've heard have been from big time producers, Deekline & Wizard especially. Djs and producers are different things, there are even different types of djs, whether they are more technical or club-like, but they each provide something different. And even though most djs could easily be club djs, I know I wouldn't want to be one. A dj is a performer, even if a dj doesn't mix that well, I get pretty excited if he/she is really into what they are spinning.
Everyone has an idea of what is more respectful when it comes to music....but in the end some kid that knows nothing about the structure of music, but has a good track selection might play a better crowd than some guy who has spent his whole life playing with vinyl. Are the people brocking out to the kid stupid? I might say yes, but part of the point of a dj is to provide a good time, so what is good is completely subjective and everyone needs to start worrying about what they are doing instead of insulting the guy beside him.
All that being said, producers and djs should both be paid for their services, but it is mostly up to djs to pay producers because most people aren't picking up the music that producers are putting out. But at the same time, there's plenty of djs that don't get paid for their sets, so you can't blame them for wanting to play a track out without paying the royalties. Not to mention the fact that its hard to find the stuff you want on vinyl alot of the time and websites like beatport aren't useful for all genres, there isn't always a way to pay the producer even if you would like to. There's not an easy solution, but I don't think discrediting other people's work, style etc. is a good way to start getting djs and producers the credit and money they do deserve. |

| nice post.
Music is an obsession, and addiction. I don't play for pay,but because simply its a thing i love very much. Its therapy, relaxation, elation all wrapped into one. I'll record and post sets maybe no one will listen to, and thats cool...I don't do it for that, if one person likes it im happy. The thing is i still buy all of these tracks, pay for all the gear and what not simply because as grown ups that is what you do.Its fucking life...if you are an alcoholic do you steal your wine? Most alcoholics are the hardest working fuckers you will ever see, all to pay for their obsession. The same can be said for dj's, wether in the bedroom or not. Buying your tracks means that they become more special to you...you have less music, but the music you have you invested in making it simply more valuable in some ways. You can hear the difference in sets between a guy who selects carefully what to play and some hack just throwing every new release he can he got off soulseek into a pile of non flowing garbage. Now i respect turntablists, but that is simply not what i am. I don't play a style it lends itself to and my major funtion is to find tracks that fit and flow. Tracks that when mixed together create an overlap and bring in originality to something that is not my own. The eq is my weapon and i'm a beatmatcher not a slam fader. Im fucking baked so i dont know if this makes any sense lol. Buy a tomato from iga and eat one you grew in your own garden..which one tastes better? What im trying to say is when you put the effort into something and not let something do it for you the results show. I will also say i like the slight imperfections when mixing with vinyl or cd (nothing major of course)..it gives it its own flavour..something that neatly warped tracks fail so pathetically at and make sterile and boring. Not talking trainwrecks here folks, but ever notice when 2 kicks are just a fraction off it sounds so much more analog..so much more sexy? Digital takes that away...
in life no pain = no gain and this is universal...the best things in life aren't free...the best things in life are the things you work your ass off for. Rage against the machine..... |

| seriously i share the same opinion but the thing is a lot of djs are doin beatmatching and forgetting the PHRASING and track selection is usually aweful! dont get me wrong i dont want to see someone press play and wait but they are different thing someone can do to make it actually original and different with FX glitches mashuping and beat jugglin which is in my opinion better than just play 2 tracks with a crossfade ! so im not knocking anyone except that if you are mixing you better be doin something behind your decks,computer cdjs etc ! |

| i havent touched the crossfader in years.(i disabled it and its taped) ;) Other than reverb and sometimes delays i don't fucking touch efx...because they sound like efx. (even through sends). With your eq's you can do stuff to make things interesting. 1+1=3 ;) |
