i hate faggots that use sync, if your going to use something to easily sort your music use rekordbox, else just use usb and plug it directly into the cdj and actually (gasp!) manually sort it yourself

i could so make love to you right now gandy

<3, ive got all my latest shit all on cds (roughly 3 hrs worth of tunes id bang at the club), and then the rest just on usb sticks/hdds

what does sync have to do with sorting your music?

[Gandy]

ppl who think its ok to use sync are the ones that say "yea but i use traktor to sort my music and syncs just there"

when rekordbox does all that for you with no cheats and its free

[legunner]

i find it hard to use vinyls but i can easily mix with traktor scratch pro. this may just be my limited experience or my lack of having decent records to mix with.

or it could be that auto sync button

or maybe you can't read and i have 2 records one is my mums janet jackson one, the other is some stupid breaks record.

wake up to yourself before trying to be a smartass

I find it harder mixing with older worn out vinyl since it sounds more distorted.

fair enough. but there's other reasons why people use TSP.

[legunner]

if syncing is cheating then so is looping, hot cues, software(rekordbox) etc.

[Ravni]

its fukin mind numbing to sync

gotta disagree man, you gotta do all the above manually and its possible to fuck them up...where as auto sync you do nothing manually and u cant stuff it up...get me?

[legunner]

im not talking about beatgrid syncing im talking about tempo syncing you still have to cue the song up and drop it at the right beat/phrase.

[LabRat]

i aint having a go, its all good. do what you do mann

nah not taken as having a go bud. all good

yeh i know, i just have no time for posers that use sync, TSP already makes it disgustingly easy with wave form (TSP2 takes it to even more retarded levels with colour coded waveforms ffs) and its super accurate bpm display, why the fuck would you even need to push sync with that program holding your hand like a big baby

you spend like 2 minutes in your cans and thats it, no wonder so many ppl are focusing on what there doing/looking like in the booth what else is there to do with all that free time on your hands

have you ever used rekordbox?

[legunner]

yep i have at a mates house

[Gandy]

so then how do you say its cheating, its a barebones digital way to easily search for tracks, with no sync option...

you still have to pitch match and beatmatch

[legunner]

but you get to keep songs on a computer instead of burning cds? thats cheating.

anyways im done arguing over this.

[Gandy]

umm no, its not lol, its just having those songs on a different media, exactly the same as if you had a usb key or hdd, its the software that manipulates the tracks (TSP showing wave form, bpm, AUTO SYNC) that is cheating.

rekordbox simply provides an interface and search option for your media on your hdd

[awesome88]

ugh so over the autosync debates..... i'm sure back in the day when cdjs came out it was

"oh... cdjs are cheating" etc. really don't care + cbf anymore

[street]

what the fuck is wrong with loops?

[Gandy]

its always going to be around because people who use auto sync are always going to defend it and try and justify why they shouldnt be called a glorified itunes performer

From the Merriam-Webster Dictionary

Definition of DISC JOCKEY

: an announcer of a radio show of popular recorded music; also : one who plays recorded music for dancing at a nightclub or party

"one who plays recorded music for dancing at a nightclub or party"

Personally, i think it is lazy.... but at the end of the day, people are going to use the technology available to them. No one cranks up there car to start it up anymore.... is a battery lazy? no....

so really, if the definition of a dj is "one who plays recorded music for dancing at a nightclub or party" i don't really give a fuck.... play the music, let me rock out. I'll dj the way i want, and anyone else can dj how they want.... live and let live, discuss more interesting topics than things that have been covered and argued about 10000000 times

oh sure why not let djs cheat and use auto sync, while were at it lets legalise steriods and let athletes cheat, because hey who cares, as long as there putting on a good show why the hell should they actually learn and perfect tehre sport when you can jsut take steriods and make everythign a lot easier

djing is an art, a learned skilll that takes years and years of practise and performing to perfect, but hey who cares about that lets jsut buy someone a laptop load up there itunes playlist and hti auto sync so they dont have to do anything

awesome88 i take it you have never played a musical instrument? how do you think a pianist, classical guitar player, brass player would take it if you went up to them and said oh hey i have this thing that lets me do exactly what you do with a push of a button isnt that neat yea im awesome im djfivedollaholla i get all the bitches

software and autosync is the worst thing that could of happened to djing because its no longer the same as picking up a musical intrument and learning it and taking pride and performing, now its just a bunch of spoilt 16 yr olds who get there rich parents to buy them a laptop and download a bunch of music and all of a sudden parade around and call themselves djs
