1) Controllerism is the underground imo
2) I don’t give a damn what you’re using to mix music with, I only care about the end result.

I’m working on booking a Valentine’s Day Rave myself (http://www.digitaldjtips.com/forum/threads/edm-djs-in-dc-looking-for-a-starting-venue.7283/) and I’m encouraging controllerists to come out of the woodworks and show some daisy-chained cue-juggled awesomeness. Classical pianists complained when synths came out, I’m sure drummers are still dying inside seeing maschine guys, and I believe controllerism takes the focus off of the more tedious aspects of djaying (cue dropping and vinyl switching) and allows more focus on effects/live remixing/ableton setups/etc. Also, my back isn’t sore due to lugging around flightcases full of vinyls I may only want to use for a single track.

It’s a shame you’re not in the UK mate cos that would be perfect!

Great cheers mate! So it seems it’s all about going in with the right attitude and ignoring the haters. With the headphones – I think I am currently using that technique of just using the one headphone pushed against my ear. Are you saying that’s better than having the headphones on both ears?

Cheers for your advise buddy 🙂

1a) I already know how to use the cue mix function, I’m just worried that the sound coming from the speakers will be so loud they’ll just drown out the headphones whatever position the cue mix knob is at.

1b) Sorry, not quite sure what you mean here, could you elaborate on this a bit – i.e. the functionality of the extra output and how this might help during a set (sorry this is just me being a noob!)

2) So true mate! I’ve just heared that some djs tend to look down their noses at difital djs. But then, many vinyl djs felt the same when cdj’s came out. At the end of the day its the end product that counts, so gotta make sure I practice so I can smash it on the night 🙂 Just the pre first gig jitters making me worry about the little things a think!

Thanks again, really appreciate your input.

Thanks Phil.

I wonder if you could help me with a problem that’s recently occured with Virtual DJ 7. I’ve been using it for months with no problems, but just over the past few days, a problem has occured with the sync function – whenever i sync a slower track to match the bpm of the faster track – eg syncing an 86.00bpm track to match an 87.50bpm track so they’re both showing the same – the track that was orininally slower now actually plays slightly faster than the other track, even though VDJ shows the bpm’s as the same. This basically makes it impossible to mix.
I’ve tried restoring the factory settings and uninstalling and reinstalling VDJ, but the problem still persists.

Have you heard of this happenng before? And if so, do you have any idea what I can do to fix it? I’d really appreciate some help with this one as I’m dying to get my mix on!
