It does look wicked, and I for one would try and use most of the features.

This elitist bollocks about techno needing somekind of more skill is shameful. I have mixed both from the outset (since bout 10-15 yrs ago) and they both require skill, Just in different ways. Tis lush when you have 3 techno tracks going and your just fucking with the EQ and levels to make new sounds or even just to use a certain percussion loop from a track. However, tis also rather yum when you bring a bassline in, with the synth still going from the other track. (ala Hard House) That doesn't just happen, has to be planned and made sure the keys fit etc...

Plus with some techno you can get away with being sloppy. With hard house, the moment it's out, everyone knows. There is also the fact the music is slower so you have more time to fuck about.

Is it so impossible to give the other genre's credit? Shit, I don't like Enya. Not about to go on her forum (if she has one) and say it's all wank cos I like something 10 bpm slower.

Unlike Gaz, I do prefer the trickery and whatnot, if you dont move with the times n all that.....

Just my 2 penneths

P.S. Did just buy a DJM800 about 2 months ago tho

Rodi style and ben stevens chaos tour prove everything wrong you've just said in that post. Typical Tom and Zanos bumming each other off

Agreed, however, seems the roll and reverese roll have a lot to say for themselves too haha

Bah, my Vestax 170 beats all!

No mixer can replicate the 'sound only coming out of the right channel, with intermittent left channel sound' feature or the 'totally fucked crossfader' bonus feature.

i dont see how not hammering the effects and just havin a seemIess mix, has anything to do with moving with the times, what a bogus comment!!



Did anyone say hammer? Erm no, read the post again. That was exactly my point

To not use all the technology available to you is a bit silly. But IMO
If your that die hard then go back to vinyl init.

EDIT - I do like a good flowing set and sometimes play em. But to be honest, the more I get excited the more I fuck around haha
I agree with paul about the FX being more important than the music for some DJ's tho, which is completely wrong and I agree, sounds shit.
