Re: Why isTraktor becoming the standard for djing
I think Traktor is probably the more "tweak friendly" system, but I don't see any competitor touching Serato. Personally I've never had Serato crash or seen it crash. I hear Traktor is very stable too but I've never had a compelling reason to change what works, since I really only ask for ...

Re: Was Jeff Mills really doing something?
This is a matter of personal opinion -- I'd really like to believe that "Ableton DJing" could be as interesting as turntable DJing -- but it almost never is. I'm not sure why; it's a mysterious thing really.

Most non motorcycle riders (for instance) don't find it necessary to hop on every motorcycle thread and talk about how they don't like motorcycles. However: for some reason, on the internet, people can't resist letting others (who didn't ask) know just how much they dislike Christianity. The Christi...

This whole quandary is ultimately why I went back to considerably more primitive dedicated hardware. Some things take longer on older tech of course, but I realized I was going to greater and greater lengths to make a laptop behave like a mixing desk and tape machine. Nonetheless, Godspeed to everyb...

I lived in Austin (34th and Duval) for a few months and left. I basically agree with the synopsis of it being a place where affluent white liberals congratulate each other. It is now severely gentrified as well -- working artists basically can't afford to live in the desirable areas -- and certainly...

I spent lots and lots and lots of time sorting this out -- figuring out how to unify my physical gestures with the act of music making. (Before Live I used SP-808s, as a side note.) Ultimately I concluded that you can only control a few things with any degree of nuance, so I went back to the turntab...

Great for mobile gigs. Balances right on the TT cases and the EFX-1000 sits on top of it (I use CDJs and a rotary mixer.) Doesn't increase the footprint beyond standard battle config at all. Has fixed up many a bad room for me, plus the spiffy IO options saves me having to carry extra cables and con...

Looks interesting. If I bring my own stuff to a DJ gig I use an EFX-1000 (in my opinion easily the best effects unit ever produced) and a Rane 10-operator stereo parametric which go in a master loop (my mixer has no effects loop or per-channel EQ.) This could eventually replace the parametric EQ, fo...
