[russell]

Yes and no, just because you produce doesn't mean you can or want to perform as well.

But once you get popular like Porter did, people want to see him perform and go crazy to his shit in a club or festival whatever.

On the same hand if your a producer and you don't wanna DJ but there's a demand for you to appear in clubs then you just play live. You don't have to DJ.

That brings in the dollars too. There is no money in producing really unless you are making commercial stuff that takes off, but in the underground scene, there's no money in just releasing records.

[GREMM1S]

Very true, underground wise you have to be performing alot to make money.

Something like the VCI 400 is tailored for club use in my opinion, Im also a big fan of the Ean golden edition!

Haha classic, if you only had time to add those two posts i think you're wasting your time mate...

Anywhoo there really is a different culture overseas i love watching all the europeans kill it with decks and still do sampling and shit

[Vaughn]

^ I like that

Anyways:

S4 tested by Dubfire @ Space Club

Also seen Dubfire use the traktor controller

.....But i guess he is a produces. I was considering buying a controller just for house partys and stuff. But im better off putting that money towards a Decent mixer as it will look more professional, feel allot better and be more durable

Not a good comparison.

Dubfire is a HUGE producer and internationally renound artist.

As I said to Sol earlier, it's not right comparing someone like that to the average Joe Blow.

Unless you're playing a headline set, the other DJ's will be frustrated with all the fucking around that goes into setting up a laptop and controller.

A good tradesman never blames his tools, so a good DJ shouldn't get there and say "I can't mix on these, I need my controller".

Problem?

I do agree with this,

When I was at hobberz house and was talking to gandy, one of the major things he said was that sometimes if it's just at a local bar/club they will tell you to get up and have a mix. This means your probably going to be using whatever gear they have at the time, with music you probably don't know.

You need to be ready to deal with anything they throw at you!

[Lurk6r]

Alright, slight redirect.

Opinions on djing a bar/pub, that does not have decks.

[GREMM1S]

Watcha mean you have to supply all the gear? In mobile applications i think controllers are great, im seeing the pioneer S1 used for corporate gigs and wedding stuff heaps now, but as said earlier if their are decks already at a venue why wouldnt you use them

No problem,

Not going to start a shit fight when you are correct and have more experience

[bumpNgrind]

and if they go near the sync feature....GTFO

Im gona have to talk here,

The s4 isn't really made for beat matching (e.g. the tiny faders and the position of the jog wheels)

Personally, I don't mind if they use it, as long as they CAN beatmatch normally, it doesn't matter to me.

GTFO, just get out

if you even consider using the sync button then you are not a DJ, if you use sync you might as well be running nightlife... if its hard to beatmatch on then maybe it shouldnt be a DJ controller

from my little experience, its a rapidly changing scene. there are alot of shit djs out there who dont even beatmatch, i would prefer them use the sync button than to have the crappy overlapped songs i hear sometimes.

the issue for me begins when people are auto cueing, may aswell record a cd, press play and walk away for an hour. syncing i dont see a problem with.

[GREMM1S]

So youre a sync dj then haha

My own personal experience is this;

worked well, no problems. Your there to entertain and get the customer to buy drinks. Some bar managers might care what you use, but i would imagine in my very limited experience, no one gives a shit. iTunes or Nightlife can't read a crowd, a DJ can and should.

[Vaughn]

A Dj/Producer/Teacher mate of mine mixes on Vinyl and has stopped using his xone92 and now uses and loves using the s4

and he just has the vinyl decks plugged in and he said he is using it at every gig now (4 gigs a week).

He highly recommends them. But he call also mix on many different set ups though

Fuck look at the gear lol epic

Looking at it more lately as well the type of clubs has a lot to do with it too.

Like the music people clubs (candys, arthouse, whaat cluub) just dont have controllers period, i think the bigger, more genre specific or underground clubs require djs on decks whilst more commercial/smaller venues/pubs are more controller friendly.

That said i feel now that unless you are a mobile dj or the venue has no in house gear there is no need for controllers. Serato and usbs/rekordbox fullfill the aspect of digital storage of music and you would actually have to carry less around than if you had a controller.

[russell]

overlapped songs i hear sometimes.

is that not the whole art of DJ'ing? the continuous flow of music which requires "mixing" song into one another.....

I'm assuming mixing to be the same as overlapping... unless overlapped songs is something different? ???

[SolDios]

I think by overlapping he means cross fading
