Yawn.

Don't get out much do you?
how could that possibly affect how I percieve the concept of dj'ing? in my mind there are almost no dj's that are even worth watching. I've only seen maybe 1 or 2 ever that I thought did anything worth while. and I've seen quite a few.

If you don't undertstand the concept of djing then that's your problem not mine. You don't feel it, you don't feel it.

I'm certainly not even remotely tempted to get into a discussion on it.

Have a good weekend.

From a dj perspective (I also own Ableton, but wanted to integrate djing into Ableton, not Ableton into djing), this is exactly what kind of tool I needed. Intagrating all these features into one interface along with Ableton is so much better than running several independant applications at once.

I dunno, but I am very excited at the thought of bringing my axiom to my gig and utilizing it the way i have always wanted to - with my turntables.

I pre-ordered the conectiv/torq package day before yesterday!

i understand the concept. there are some dj's that are innovative and are actually DOING something. and then there are a huge majority that love to take other peoples music and push play while they scratch over it. if you are actually being innovative and creative then thats awesome. theres a couple of inspiring clips on youtube that assure me that dj'ing isn't dead. but I'm sick to death of walking into guitar center and seeing homies buying turn tables and talking about their upcoming gigs with the sales clerks cause 99% of those people are just gonna grab all their records at home and spend 1 day of practicing before the gig. and what makes me even sicker is that they are getting paid for DOING NOTHING!

this maudio thing has potential to be used for good or evil I suppose. please use it for good cause using it to scratch mp3's just seems so cheesey to me. but thats just my opinion.
It was as if someone shook up a 6 foot can of blood soda and suddenly popped the top.
