To Key or not to Key....

[Adzm00]

So far we've got.....

Auto-sync, so I don't have to learn to beatmatch
Auto-gain, so I don't have to learn to use gains
The Beatport top 10, so I know which tracks to buy
Mixed in Key and software that BPMs tracks so I've got help with what track to play next

All we really need now is auto-phrase matching and that will give me a lot more time to do the truly creative things that DJs do - twisting 2 EQ knobs at the same time, one with each hand.

This. DJ's are turning into lazy bitches.

I'm glad Mixed In Key was released, because for years I hated listening to mixes and hearing live sets in clubs where I thought "these keys are clashing horribly!!!!".....


.....is something I would say if it actually happened, but it didn't.

lol, it amazes me how many people have keys clashing, it sounds as horrible and obvious as a poor beatmatch,

I think that happens, because the DJs are concentrating on keeping the tracks matched and the crowd switches off and stops listening.

Always interesting to hear from someone who has never tried a thing, spouting off about it. Hey if you are free next week, why not pop down to my club, I'll give you a list of current chart and how they've sold, a real DJ as yourself would have no problem keeping the floor packed all night! I suggest we film it

I'm not a fan of driving across the country to play a set of utter drivel, but given that any mainstream club/bar you walk into is playing the same utter fucking drivel, what I said stands.

No, it doesn't, that it sounds "the same utter fucking drivel", does not mean that they are playing "just what sells at them moment".

If you were to examine closely you would find that they were playing utter fucking drivel from years ago, to the more dancier shite from the last month, to what is requested from the current crop of filth.

Playing purely the latest crap, will clear a typical meatmarket floor, as the sheeple need at least a couple of weeks of intensive radio programming, before they even recognise the drivel.

I hope this has cleared it up for you

Indeed :-D

Yes I have become an expert on the enemy, all the better to win them over to the side of good.
A good ambassador, needs to get familiar with the natives, get to know their ways.

We can't all hide away from gigs because we can't handle Joe public.

He is.

And a crutch expert

I'll get to you after I finish my lunges
