    I haven’t upgraded yet, haven’t found a use for the sample decks and the coloured waveforms i do not need as i like to memorise the track inside out before i even play it to a crowd so i don’t need to know ‘what’s happening in the track’. As i already know.

    To be honest i think i would still stick with Technics a DJM900 Nexus partially left for external mixing, partially mapped for Traktor 2 use and my X1.

    I totally agree with this, try hunting through free music blogs and stuff or paid music blogs and soundclouds/mixclouds etc etc.. white label records online if your a vinyl junkie. All examples.

    I know what your trying to say, its coming to a point where i will not buy any tracks online now or any music in that case unless its white labels because a lot of the music sounds the same and just doesn’t interest me.

    It’s ashame to be honest.

    I don’t know to be honest because i have TSP but i hardly use it, so im not sure on the ins and outs of beatgridding and effects and stuff. Im still used to just the effects on the DJM series mixers. Also i’m 90% CDJ/Vinyl, I have nothing against auto-sync because i can accept thats where DJ’n is going.

    I personally think that the time spent beatgridding and sync-ing the tunes is a lot of wasted time. Because any person that can beatmatch and that are good at it can tell you they will be able to beatmatch in about 10-15 seconds maximum.

    So any person who turns round and says ‘why beatmatch when you can auto-sync and do more creative stuff in that time’ i personally think is speaking crap as it probably takes just as much time beatmatching as it does auto syncing and lets face it, theres not too much effects and stuff you can throw down in 10-15 seconds.

    Can you explain more of this conversation please 🙂

    One of those clothes for cleaning glasses/laptop screens/phone screens etc etc. Perfect for cleaning CD’s. And my ear protection!

    I probably have about 2000 tracks for DJ use (about 500 maximum i would use now) i just don’t like deleting stuff i have paid good money for. About 500 records for DJ use also.

    All my non DJ stuff is on originally purchased CD or vinyl, which is about 600 CD’s and 500 records.

    Nothing serious has happened to me, just the usual switch breaker tripping and all power shutting down and place going into darkness was quite a bad one. That’s about it for me.
