no monitor either .

[alex.the.forge]

I'd really rather you hadn't subjected me to that

reminds me of this: http://www.internetdj.com/video.php?med ... 4&op=watch

I wonder how much that cost?

[citizenchris099]

my sentiments exactly.

[pulsoc]

Tiesto is the Chris Crocker of the APC40.

Look the USB cable is not plugged in...

[1nfinitezer0]

when it's all alone with monsieur douchebucket staring down at it, the apc doesn't look very rockstar or even techno. needs moar racks of lights.

Yes, that's the whole point. Made for fun discussion when it first surfaced.

Forget the monitor, there is no computer either

despite the video, the tune wasn't bad at all.. I swear I'm not tiesto.. side note here.. I'm don't really have a specific genre I listen to but if I had to pick, it was hip hop growing up.. and I don't really get the tiesto hate but help me out here... is it like when mc hammer was big and everyone was hating on him? fans loved the music but hip hop heads hated that shit..

[Jekblad]

yeah, it's not an instrument. needs to be more of an afterthought than the focus. So maybe he could play shaker?

i think it has more to do with the fact that its shit music, compounded by the fact that he's famous and rich and that all equals a lot of well deserved hate.

god he's an ugly bugger, he looks like a cross between vinnie jones and a bag of chips

No disrespect to Tiesto intended, but:
Strange use of an APC.

The effects weren't changing.
The mix wasn't changing.
Nothing was being triggered.

What, exactly, was the point of the APC at all? Just to give him a reason to be in the video with a new "sexy" piece of kit?

I don't really like or dislike him. I don't know much about him... never heard a full set (just a few single tracks on pandora).
But I figure if you have an APC in a set or a video, you should be doing something with it (I actually DO think you could play it like an instrument... at least, I'd be fine watching that and jiggling about).

Like the youtube mashup video from a few months ago.
At least that guy USED the apc noticeably in the track and its vid.

That said: I have an APC that I barely know how to use, so I'm probably full of shit anyway.
