YEP ANOTHER ONE!!

That’s the stuff iceman!

Also on the beat matching and sync discussion, as posted above, there will at some point be a time when the digital tech will fail at a gig, and it does and will happen, you’ll have to take up the TT or cdj reigns, which will require beat matching capability. I openly admit to using the sync button a lot of the time on the S4, as also posted it allows more time for creative use of samples and loops, but I know I can switch to the 1210s at the drop of a hat and carry on.

Laying down the right tracks , at the right time is as needed as beat matching is IMO. Some crowds may not care how the set is done..so long as they get the top hits they like. Such as bar crowds and the like. But for the scene I played for (rave scene), most did have a good ear even if they were no DJ’s. If someone uses tricks to cover for their lack of beat matching skills with that type of crowd, eventually they would stop getting gigs . They would be forgiven at first for some time, doing warm up sets and all. But sooner or later they’d have to get it down if they wanted to keep playing. Speaking from personal experience
