why is everyone soooo scared that live 5 is going to totally destroy the sacredness of their craft? dj rollpills from the backwoods of anytown USA whose parents just bought him an ibook is not going to have the attention span nor the time and work ethic it takes to build a good set in ableton. nor is he going to be able to execute the set, nor is he going to have the creativity or the talent to do anything worth hearing. hes not going to want to spend the hours it takes to render good loops and sections, or make his own folders full of efx and washes.

i live in new orleans and people are still scared to use fucking CDJS because they think vinyl is the only way to go!!!! dj rollpills, if he does in fact decide to use ableton, is not going to be doing anything different than if he were using vinyl. he is simply going to be bouncing back and forth between tracks. big deal. and you know what he probably learned how to do that in two weeks like the rest of us did, standard djing is not rocket science!!!

so dont be scared that dj rollpills is going to be taking your residency anytime soon, or getting that coveted opening timeslot for john digweed at the next big event in your town. promoters only book people that have good resumes and good reputations, its like adamjay said, all the big jocks are either

a. really good producers
b. have been djing for 20+ years
c. have nice tits

so pick one of the above options and stick to it.

the influx of people trading in their guitars for turntables, or in this case, ibooks, is nothing new people. but dont treat every noobie like they are going to be the next dj rollpills either. they might be the one that learns the program better than you and can teach YOU some cool new tricks.

get over it

poetry my man, true poetry. an excellent post. well spoken, or typed...

you know what I mean.

Heh...I bought my turntables from a guitarist who thought he could buy turntables and a $30 gemini mixer and make enough money to support his habbits...one of them was the guitar, the other one is the reason the coffin that came with the set smells like burnt rubber.

i hope live 5 has'nt opened the flood doors for the truly talentless dj to excel, i have been using live 4 since February and use loops most of the time

the fact that you had to warp tracks, have some understnding of song structure mean that the system was'nt doing evrything for you. Maybe this is a good thing. I guess when i get my copy of 5 i will find out

here is a link to my latest mix

It will be fantastic with LIVE5 and whatever comes after that. (Until the copyright issues will pop up and the record industry will start to cash licenses for using samples, 8-bar-loops or whatever you want to do when you DJ).

And regarding the turntablists: They might be considered and appreciated as instrumentalists in the future.

It's like people did not stop to listen to piano-players when midi-sequencing was invented, only you did not have to rehearse 10 years to play a 16th's tripletts arpeggio.
