I didn’t see any comments on the review, so I’m not sure what happened. Did everyone start bashing the idea of using an iPad? or that the controller isn’t some massively expensive thing?
Frankly, this goes back to that other “Situation” topic. I grow tired of DJs thinking that if you didn’t spend $1000+ on your controller then you’re not “serious” or “to be taken seriously”. Analog purists scoffed at the idea of the laptop, but now I see laptops galore. Now the laptop guys will scoff at an iPad, but we might very well see tablets slide in and replace laptops.
I don’t care if you play on a $100 controller or a $2000 controller…wow me with your set. Anyone can spend thousands, but it’s no guarantee they’ll be great at DJing.
And the only time I use “Fanboy” is when I talk about Apple cultists who seemingly will have an excuse for anything Apple does wrong. When they see Apple as a company that does no wrong and is 100% perfect no matter what. The string of articles on TechCrunch about the “revised” manufacturing plant in China was an atrocity IMHO….and I guarantee if Apple never made anything there, those people would be rallying to close the plant down no matter what.
