LOL.
Not sure how deep deepdjdanny is.
Jesus Christ 5:38 AM - 20 April, 2009
It doesn't crash BECAUSE it's not bloated with bullshit features that real DJ's don't need nor should they have.
deepdjdanny 5:45 AM - 20 April, 2009
yep not that deep.

yeah i know this why it doesn't crash.

i'm not advocating bloat.

auto-sync plugin maybe. dangle carrot.

Yet another lazy dj wanting auto Sync.this is why the price of djing is so cheap now
Dj BuddyLove 9:19 AM - 20 April, 2009
i dont care!!!!!!
just make it optional
sl1200 10:50 AM - 20 April, 2009
Whether Auto Sync is added to Serato or not it will still be available to everyone else on Tracktor & Torq (products that work just as good as Serato and are super reliable). So for those of us who fear that anybody off the street can now be a DJ "It's Too Late!" so that's not an excuse for not including it in Serato.

Most people on the dancefloor don't care what product/format you're using. For those that do all I hear is "That's cheating!", they don't have a clue there's a difference between Serato and the other products out there.
Dj BuddyLove 11:24 AM - 20 April, 2009

I've been playing with Itch on the NS7 a bit lately. Nice program, very solid...on my MacBook Pro. The G4 12" that I use for Serato Audio with my Techniques won't run it reliably...not enough processing power. The specs on the box say OSX 10.4.11 but you apparently need a 1.8Ghz or better processor in the Mac, as stated in the minimum specs, once I bothered to read them.
Dj BuddyLove 9:18 PM - 24 April, 2009
im begining to kinda like that unit..only if i had small gigs or were tired to bring my decks & stuff..

only thing i really dont like the itch program.
i wish the NS7 had native support via SSl..id be all over it!!
Dj BuddyLove 9:24 PM - 24 April, 2009
oops my bad...it dose work with scratchlive..i guesss???
seee i havent been too keen on it..learning

then agin i have to correct myself..
damm just make this thing work with scratchlive...huh

I like the NS7 for the idea of djing on the dancefloor with the crowd...or where ever...lady's room? LOL

Yes to auto sync...in any DVS not called ScratchLive.

Dj BuddyLove 5:37 AM - 25 April, 2009

And I don't give a fuck about most people on the dance floor. I'm the DJ and I know what I want and what I should be using. I don't recall the last time a DJ asked customers what he should be using.
djcruz99 1:49 AM - 26 April, 2009
Sync will not make you a better DJ. You have to know when to mix, where to mix etc.. I think Auto Sync on the sampler would be hot. Imagine the live remix possibilities.
Besides no Auto Sync feature works perfectly so it is not something you can use without knowing how to mix.

As for me, getting tracks in Sync and rocking a long mix is most of fun you can have while mixing. Pressing a Sync button all night long will get boring fast but it can be useful in some situations.

Do you really think the Ableton/Serato partnership isn't going to result of some "live" action coming into Scratchlive? I certainly do.
DJ_Wienner 1:12 AM - 27 April, 2009
no no no no no!

is there auto sync on vinyl? when you go to your record store (oh wait, most of you dont own any records at all..) can you ask them for the 12" version of ATCQ with auto-sync??? NO. serato is a vinyl emulator. not traktor.
DJNelson 2:56 AM - 27 April, 2009
imagine how boring it would be if it synched it for you.

There's no way Rane would bring out something like this, every DJ using Serato would lose all credibility within a short space of time, it would piss off too many (loyal) customers.

oh and by the way the in case anyone missed it the say no to autosynch thread was locked and the the person saying no the loudest was almost banned by mods.....who know what features are in the works...for saying bad things about auto synch....think mabye thats a hint on what their working on???

For the sake of argument, people need to remember the difference between SCRATCHLIVE and SERATO when referring to a product. Otherwise, comments like Serato would never... (insert ITCH here) do not make sense.

BERTO 1:28 AM - 28 April, 2009
i dont know auto sync like blends the songs from one another like atomix that sucks, something that matches the bpms maybe but still very easy to do with the PITCH SLIDERS!!!! its pretty straight forward im not that good and i can blend quite easily i even amaze myself sometimes, its all about feeling the music ppl not having the computer do it for you. now itunes has a cd burn option that fades in the song to another lol get a 25 dollar cd player and burn some cds, people dont water down the dj game even more, getting it right on your own is so much fun, thats what makes you THE DJ, everyone looks up to you, you have the power in the room to make people dance slow fast crazy happy sad or not at all, y would you want to take that away from yourself, i do agree with the pitch adjust on the samplers though that needs to be able to be set however u want.
BERTO 1:34 AM - 28 April, 2009
people are starting to make fun of and mock the way programs make djing so easy that anyone can do it, with scratchlive it still takes skill thats y i like it so much you still have to beatmatch use the crossfader gains scratch ect ect i love it youre still a dj u know, with other programs u hit a key and bam the "crossfader" slides across the screen, its going to be a battle of yes and no forever.

Dj-M.Bezzle,

That's total bollocks and an incredibly childish response. You know damn well that sensible debate on pretty much any topic is acceptable here.

What is not acceptable is personal insults, and it is for this that you were warned.

If you have any problem with comments made to you by myself or another forum moderator I suggest you do the mature thing I contact me directly via PM rather than make hollow complaints in front of a captive audience.
RRollergod 2:45 AM - 28 April, 2009

Henry GQ 3:17 AM - 28 April, 2009
chris d
no dis-respect, but u can warn us in PM as well, instead of be-littlin us in front of our peers.

maybe someone should moderate you.

this isnt MIRC...do the mature thing, and warn people in private.
thank you and i hope u understand my point.
any conversation like should continue in private.. sound fair?

Henry,

It's the policy here to warn people publicly. There are a number of good reasons why we do this, so this will continue to be the case.

However, when moderation issues need to be discussed further I totally agree with you: PM's are the place to do it.

In my opinion Bezzle was wide of the mark with his spurious claims of impartiality and to say so here in *public* is, if nothing else, bad etiquette.

However, two wrongs don't make a right and it's true that it might have been better to take the discussion to a PM.

With that in mind, Bezzle - sorry for snarky comment. I'm happy to talk with you further via PM if you want to.

This weekend I met a DJ that was using Virtual DJ without any external controls. I asked him if he liked DJing with just the keyboard & mouse instead of TTs or CD players. He said he did not need anything else because he could do everything from his computer. He did want to use Serato because it did not have auto-sync. When the program would try to sync it was not that accurate with Hip Hop and Reggaeton. The DJ then tried to mix on a regular CD player and OMG, did he suck. I just don't get how he can even think he was a DJ.
No to auto-beat-sync.
The only place I actually would like it is only as "instant doubles" on the sample banks.

Don't ban me.

omg - uber fail.

Mind you, I wouldn't really call coldcut straight "hiphop." Other than a few key remixes and mixtapes, they aren't necessarily known for any particular tune so much as they are known as being the founder of one of the most influential indie labels out there being Ninja Tune.

From a hiphop/mainstream perspective, their most famous work is probably the 6 minutes of madness remix of Eric B & Rakim's Paid in Full.

Journeys by DJ is one of my top mixtapes ever...

Hearing djs say stuff like this makes me weep.

It's muthafuckin ninja tune! They've been around since the 80s. If you don't know em, dig through their catalog. You're in for a treat. Could just be more of a uk thing tho (not that i'm from the uk, just like a lot of the tunes coming from there)

So sorry Soo, but some of just enjoy the music and from what I've seen of Coldcut's catalog the 7 minutes of funk remix is the only recognizable track that they have put out. And believe it or not Ninja Tune isn't really considered a popular label unless you're deep into the underground hip-hop seen.

for the benefit of those of you watching at home,
the "7 minutes of funk remix" is not a remix of the classic funk track "7 minutes of funk" by the group "Tyrone Thomas & the Whole Darn Family".
we are referring to the Coldcut remix of Eric B and Rakim's classic "Paid in Full". the remix appeared on the "colors" soundtrack.
and thanks for tuning in.

yea, that statement was dubious - I didn't make it tho. Just saying that Ninja Tune is essential listening and it actually kind of boggles the mind that some DJs wouldn't even know if its existence - top40 or otherwise.

Evon 1:47 PM - 28 February, 2010
I don't really see the point of implementing a autosynch. Lots of software out there already has this feature. None of them as Successful as Scratch Live.
Why I think Serato is successful comes of many reasons such as Quality of the Product, Customer Support and good brandbuild. But most importantly credibility among pro dj's,
serato is about becoming a industry standard.

I think with a autosync feature Serato would loose credibility among DJ's and weaken the Serato brand. Serato Dj's would no longer be looked as real DJ's among other djs.

I started djing about a year ago. Practice beatmatching without looking at bpm and the waves, and now it is pretty easy to ride the pitch and beatmatch. I can be creative on the effects and mixer no problem. I don't need a autosync for that...

And with the Ableton bridge autosync is already implemented. You can put a song or sample in the bridge and sync it to one of the decs. That's what I've heard.
VJ Justin Allen 1:49 PM - 28 February, 2010
Same people asking for the same things over and over again.

I wonder, do they even have ScratchLive?
BriChi 2:46 PM - 28 February, 2010
noooooooooooo, its bad enough that new dj's can't mix with their ears because they stare at their laptops waveforms, adding auto sync would just make it worse for them.

Serato should put in like a "game mode" when you first install, you have to mix for a certain amount of hours on point with no waveforms, if you do good, it unlocks the waves, LOL
DJ GRIAL 6:26 PM - 28 February, 2010
No to Auto Sync please!!!

I seen many djs using virtual dj with auto sync and they still were offbeat and offkey, they were just pushing play anywhere...
O.B.1 6:39 PM - 28 February, 2010
I vote no!
terrible1fi 7:11 PM - 28 February, 2010

you want autosync, then use torq or traktor

Fair enough.

But, hypothetically, if we did add auto sync to SSL what would you do? Change to something else? All similar products already have it.
Henry GQ 11:51 PM - 28 February, 2010
i hope whoever makes the decisions for serato reads all the huff and puffs that its users put out over this feature!

soooo many people dont want it!!!!

i would love to know who that is.
Henry GQ 11:52 PM - 28 February, 2010
i would not suggest it(SSL) any of my friends. or up and coming djs.

why?

SSL just lost all credibility with me

And also to be honest.....I take alot of pride in my choice of DVS. People ask me constantly why i use SSL and i tell them it's tooooo long of a list why I picked it.

1) Rock solid
2)simple lay out
3)great support
4) no sync

And to be fare and honest....... If SSL put sync in i would be disappointed but i have too much money and time in SSL. I would continue to use it with out the sync feature on
Henry GQ 12:00 AM - 1 March, 2010
chris.. im not getting into a pissin match with u over this. i appreciate the fact that ssl implements all kinds of cool features as loop rolls and cue points and now efx

but if u guys are gonna add auto sync, at the same time i want auto scratch, im not a great scratcher... so that being said. i know how to beat match with the best of them and cold hold 4 turntables beatmatched...

so if ur gonna help some losers who cant hold a beat, help a loser like me scratch.

sound good ? good thnx

BTW, I have NO IDEA if auto sync is in the pipeline for SSL or not.

I'm just fascinated that people object so strongly to a feature that they don't have to use.

Personally, I have no interest auto sync but I certainly wouldn't mind if it was added. I would simply never use it.
Serato, Support
ChrisD 12:06 AM - 1 March, 2010
And I have to chuckle at those who say they'll stop using SSL if auto sync is added.

Surely that means ditching all DVS's given that all similar products already have auto sync.
the_black_one 12:06 AM - 1 March, 2010
We treat it like a pissing contest in all honesty. Witch means that you get more respect when you use SSL because YOU know the DJ is actually mixing and not just pick music from a list and hitting sync

Dj Shamann 12:08 AM - 1 March, 2010
I'm not a fan of auto-sync, I think it cheapens Djing, and it cheapens the product. Serato sets itself apart from the competition and that's been the main draw for the people that use it, that's what's attracted us to it.

That bing said, I understand what Chris D is saying, threatening to sell your SL1 is sort of redundant and won't pressure anybody into giving into your demands considering his point about the competition.

The truth is that EVERYONE is telling Serato to "get with the times, product X, Y & Z, do this, this and that", so Serato should be able to also."

Oh, but DON'T put Auto-Synch in there.

Anything but that...

LOL!

Like all of you would go out and buy a NON-Autosynch enabled product over Serato, and sell your SL1/SL3/TTM56/56S/57.

C'mon son....stop playin.

At least you could be assured that if they DID implement it, that it would work GREAT..lol.

So itch has sync( for beat matching) and auto sync (to move the wave form over to match in time). The sync button just makes it quicker since there is a BPM to the .00 of a sec anyway, so since BPM counters you havn't needed to use your ears to beat match anyway( many have lost this skill because of it). the auto sync doesn't work as far as I'm concerned and do not like the fact that hitting it moves it in random dirrections and has the chance of throwing it off beat.

I'm putting my vote for NO on sync and auto sync. But since I have done it for 10 years with out and now have the option, why not use it.

Yes it makes it easier for a off the street so called DJ to jump on one and start mixing but that started with mixers using BPM counters years ago. This is just the next step. I don't like it as much as the next person taht someone with no skill can do it now, but that is how things went. The DJ became a bigger hit then the tracks being played so everyone wanted to be a DJ.... And Money was there to be made to help with that. Sucks.....

But it's interesting that many DJs scorned DVS systems when they first hit the market and made a lot of the same arguments that you're making here to support their opinions.

It's even bigger than that.

Don't people realize that advances in Technology is CONSTANT and that you're always making room for it?

The 1st DJ's started with no pitch controls.

Then pitch control came...we accepted that.

Then Quartz Lock, direct drives came...we accepted that...

Then better needles came out...we accepted that...

"Skipless" battle records came out....we accepted that...

CDJ's came out...we accepted that...

Mixers with BPM's came out...we accepted that...

Pitch Bend came out..we accepted that...

DVS came out...we accepted that...

Now you're arguing about what "features" should be allowed in DVS...

You can't stop the advancement of technology.

If you really want to fight the "Machine" go back to turntables with no pitch.

LOL @ you "praying" for my downfall.

I've got so much experience in the game, that me worrying about a n00b with AutoSynch is so far below my radar that it's non-existant.

But if YOU have to worry about it, then that speaks volumes about the confidence level you have in your own skillset.
DJJOHNNYM_vSL3 2:06 AM - 1 March, 2010
But seriously, we're ALL using DVS, so we're already using the advantage of technology to set us apart from that "OLD SKOOL DJ ONLY USING VINYL".

You can't condemn a company for implementing a feature or a n00b for using that feature, if it benefits the company, and the n00b.

Right now, IMO Scratchlive has the market because of two things: stability, and no auto-sync. Stability is damn important and auto-sync establishes credibility.

For another developer to even think of competing with SL and gaining a following of ex-SLers, they'd have to also offer those two features.

If SL gained auto-sync, it would be prime time for a new company to attempt a go at the market by offering a stable product that didn't include auto-sync. And, I know for a fact that a lot of SL users would definitely give the new product a try, especially if it became the new defacto-standard for credibility because once again you couldn't really use it well without knowing how to mix.

Personally I love SL, but it does have some downsides that a competitor with a product without auto-sync could exploit, such as more video format choices, a better way to use echo-out besides the aux workaround, and ability to assign a video to a group of tracks.

Just a thought.

You can't be serious.

So when you shopped for Serato, you checked for Stability AND the fact that they had NO AUTOSYNC capability?

That AutoSync was a dealbreaker?

That's what DJ's today are CHECKIN' FOR when they buy Serato?

You CAN'T be serious.

Stability - YES

Sound Quality - YES

Why the hell would you even need auto sync?...with bpm analysers and the waveforms even a newbie would learn it easily enough to at least mix a beat half decent. If you cant then give up already. It has gotta be new DJ's asking for this feature because if your are remotely experienced as a DJ and feel the need for auto sync then you suck balls, plain and simple.

Yeah, label it the NoobDJ plugin and charge $199 for it. Then, if it is activated, a large red box constantly blinks around the whole screen so anyone that glances will see that it is enabled. Then only people like PaulyD will use it and we'll finally have a way to prove that he's a faker.

I HEAR YOU loud and clear my dude...

But we're all here using DVS.

That's cheating IN ITSELF.

It took me a LONG time to get on Serato. I bought SL3 in April, right when it came out.

I didn't really get it hooked up until close to July...

Why? Because I'd be like everybody else...cheating.

Nobody would be looking at me as being the last "Original DJ using vinyl" and killing it.

So, now I kill it with DVS.

DJ's don't realize that DVS in itself, (with waveforms, BPMS, CDJ's) and all other bells and whistles is nothing more than a tool to make it EASIER to mix and DJ.

That's the same with AutoSync.

Topic has beaten to death but just for the hell of it -- No, I wouldn't do the same thing. I'd be bustin' my a** daily with a team of seasoned pros that I hired to teach me how to really DJ. Fact.

So yeah, I hate on fake DJs. But not because of their salary or status, just because they're fake and somehow still conceited. I don't care if you are Pauly or DJ Snotnose from down the street... if you act like you're the sh** and can't back it up with skills, you deserve the hate.

Back to the topic though-- I've heard DJs use VDJ and trainwreck or mix an 8 bar at the 8th beat of another 8 bar (ending up with verses over verses), so I guess you're still going to have to have a little bit of skill even if auto-sync is added. Just not as much.

OMG...How is Pauly D a faker? He's a NEW DJ, that landed a Reality TV show, and y'all know damn well, if you were in his position, you'd do the SAME THING.

You know, the Haterade amongst DJ's THEMSELVES is purely disgusting around here.

Just DO YOU, and you will be fine.

Stop worrying about the NEXT MAN.


Topic has beaten to death but just for the hell of it -- No, I wouldn't do the same thing. I'd be bustin' my a** daily with a team of seasoned pros that I hired to teach me how to really DJ. Fact.

So yeah, I hate on fake DJs. But not because of their salary or status, just because they're fake and somehow still conceited. I don't care if you are Pauly or DJ Snotnose from down the street... if you act like you're the sh** and can't back it up with skills, you deserve the hate.


Is Pauly really concieted? Or does he just LOOK that way because he's a DJ?

Most DJ's I know have HUUUUUGGGEEEE egos. Why should he be any different?

You have to keep it REAL here. The biggest haters on DJ's are other DJ's, by nature.

And I challenge (battle) people all the time who "Talk the talk" but can't "walk the walk"...

That's the nature of the HipHop Battle DJ.

Back to the topic though-- I've heard DJs use VDJ and trainwreck or mix an 8 bar at the 8th beat of another 8 bar (ending up with verses over verses), so I guess you're still going to have to have a little bit of skill even if auto-sync is added. Just not as much.


This is true. It's not like you have a "Crush It" button or something.

What if they implemented Auto Sync on the 68 only.

THen you would still have the barrier to get into DJing with the tools you are supposed to earn at some point.

It seems to me this isnt a battle with autosync, but a battle with how easy technology has made things to become DJ.

Autosync is just the catalyst used on this forum to express that disgust. Its the last bastion of Dues Payed.

As ChrisD said all the competitors already have the feature, Using Auto Sync would be a choice, Just like how people use turntables over CD decks/controllers, Technology today has changed what Djing is full stop. If you asked me 1 year ago would I want this feature I'd have said hell no, but the more time goes on the more uses I have for it, Be it just being cut short for time, wanting to drop an acapella, a sample or whatever it may be. If people want to be "legit turntablists" for not using features like this, Either don't use it (assuming they eventually add it) or roll your scratch live back to an earlier version set your mode to ABS and scratch your heart out. Fact of the matter is DJ'ing has changed in so many ways, change with it or stay behind.

I'm sorry but with 50 midi controllers there has to be a way to auto sync to some extent.... for fucks sake you can run ssl/ableton/aim/facebook/twitter/myspace/pro tools/and 4 porn sites without touching the decks or computer.....

Okay, here is my take

Before I started reading all these new replies here, I was like " Fuck That Auto Sync Shitt".
Simply because it would allow a decent mix to everybody even my 7 year old brother.

However, the same people who Play Projekt Junkies in their whole set (not dissin them, love their work), are probably the same people who want this new feature. Simply because it will allow them to sound like Me :b in a matter of seconds..

Overall, I say Yes to Auto sync, simply because the Creative Dj's Will Stand Out More now than those who will just be pushing the auto sync for every transiton.. I will be able to do so much with this auto sync shit to be honest :D.. so yes to auto sync :D..

I also Agree that If you do add this Feature.. Add a BIG Bright Color to the Serato Screen, so that people know they are using Auto Sync :p ..

Everytime i look at a Dj using Virtual/traktor etc... i say eh.. Gay fuck is using Sync, no talent.. but when i see a dj Using Serato, i am more impressed and actually have respect for that dj.. well so that is my Take..

After watching the responses from Chris D, i come to the conclusion that Auto Sync is in the works for Serato simply because they want more money..

If you do, please Add that Feature that will Give them Big Bright color on their screen, so other people know they are cheating :)
Phil Anthony 9:15 AM - 1 March, 2010
Been Djing for about 15 years now, embraced Scratchlive about 4 or 5 years ago. I learned to mix with vinyl and my ears...this is just so you know I'm not noob however, as technology evolves, I too evolve.

When I mix with Scratch Live today I use loops and que points like crazy to change base lines, add additional percussion, loop accapellas and sample. For me Auto Synch would allow me to do all this with 4 different sources without constantly babysitting the pitch. I could see really utilizing effect, gating different frequencies, isolating instrument, all doing this live. Not saying I would use it constantly or for easy transitions but I could get seriously loose with an Aut Synch feature. My 2 cents.
DJJorel 9:16 AM - 1 March, 2010
If they implement an autosync feature in Scratch LIVE, then the pitch feature on any external deck would be rendered useless. The records would just spin at a constant rate, and that would basically render the timecode useless also...no absolute mode and no needle dropping to an absolute position...

So, now, it would be the software controlling the pitch, which would be controlled by some sort of midi controller, external controller, or keyboard shortcut (unless you like controlling the pitch with a mouse). Unless someone comes out with a turntable or external deck that sends and receives pitch signals through the RCAs and into the Scratch LIVE hardware, and that would just not practical to develop (in other words, it would be stupid).

The only turntable I know that has an external controllable pitch is the Vestax Controller One, and that thing is around $1500. I don't think Rane really would want to devote resources to a turntable that really hasn't sold well to the DJ public.

The original purpose of Scratch LIVE was to be able to manipulate digital music with hardware specifically made for the DJ. As all of you know, you can use Scratch LIVE with virtually any 2-deck DJ system on the market, as long as you have at least an SL1.

If you want a turnkey DJ solution, that is what the VCI-300 and NS7 are for, plus they are both cheaper than buying 2 decks and a mixer. They implement autosync by manipulating the speed of the song within the software. ITCH is not dependent on the speed of the platter. Conversely, Scratch LIVE is dependent on the timecode signal it recieves from the decks.

And Scratch LIVE is Serato's flagship product that caters to the professional DJ. In other words, most DJs who purchase Serato already has turntables and/or cd players and a mixer.

In conclusion, I believe autosync, when you look at it logically, is not really viable on the Scratch LIVE product...unless Rane sees it fit for me to totally disregard the pitch control on my turntables...

BTW, I have never used Traktor or VDJ, so I really have no idea on how autosync works in those software packages when using time-coded vinyl...
skratchworx 9:22 AM - 1 March, 2010
I tire of all this cheating twaddle.

Here's an idea - dig out a heap of regular vinyl and try to recreate what you already do when using SSL - no loops, no cues, no sampler etc. At this point, you'll realise just how much alleged cheating SSL does, thus rendering the argument against one extra feature that you don't even have to use utterly invalid.

The truth of the matter is that if SSL gets auto sync, it'll be added with a little fanfare, a tiny minority will kick off about ruining SSL forever wahwahwah I'm burning my gear etc, but they those same people will continue to use SSL regardless for the very reasons that they already use it now. The addition will add to rather than ruin the already game leading product, and DJs will continue to do what they do, and probably find creative ways to use it in their sets too - just like all the other cheat features in all DVS software.

I'm just fascinated that people object so strongly to a feature that they don't have to use.


This comment deserves an extremely clear reply.

Much of the reason Scratch Live gained widespread acceptance, and now status as a de-facto "standard" (in the US at least) is that BY DESIGN it respected the actual art and process of real DJ-ing.

Anyone who knows about the different DJ software options, from the beginning until this very moment, knows that if they see a DJ mixing records with Scratch Live, that DJ actually knows how to mix/blend/cut/whatever.

Add auto-sync, and immediately that built-in "credibility" vanishes.

Features are nice, but credibility is priceless.

I certainly won't say "I'll stop using SSL immediately if Auto-Sync is added" simply because there is no satisfactory alternative, and dealing with a whole new application is not something I as a 3-5-night-a-week DJ really want to be dealing with. But I would never feel the same way about it.

Chris, I respect your (and Serato's in general) honesty and forthrightness, and hope these comments are taken in the same spirit.

I guess the essence of my own very personal opinion is that I disagree with this idea:

Phil Anthony 10:24 AM - 1 March, 2010
@DJ Mark. Going to have to respectfully disagree. Credibility is never lost because of a feature or function. Credibility loss is more accurately a direct result of a lower a barrier to entry or even more simply put, accessibility. Credibility loss for the DJ could just as easily be blamed on iTunes and digital distribution. Hell, CDJs and CDs could arguably have caused loss of credibility.

Instead of buying a 10.99 piece of wax for one good track, I can now buy 10 good tracks for $10 which definitely makes me happy as a DJ. I could give you a million examples but think about production for just a second. Ableton, Reason, Fruity Loops, whatever has made production much more accessible. You don't have to spend thousands on racks and racks of gear. Does the use of software and embracing new technology make production less credible? The answer to this for guys like you and me is probably so what do you do about it?

Got news for all you DJs and producers married to credibility. Chances are today, in the eyes of the masses, you have less as a "DJ" or a "Producer" than you did 5 or 10 years ago. Your gonna have to get over yourselves, we are not as special as we once were. The expectations have changed, the bar has been lowered and our once orderly and quiet world has gotten very fucking crowded and noisy because technology has brought accessibility. I know it hurts but it is true - everyone can buy a DVS or production software today. Any one can be a DJ or a Producer - so that ultimately leaves you with a choice. Either quit or get more creative. This shit is going to keep evolving. All the noise is going to get louder and there is no way that you will be able to turn the volume knob back to the way it was. Your only option is to work harder. And really, isn't hard work what really makes you credible?

One of the fundamental philosophical shifts that I have had to make about DJing in the last few years is that the audience at most clubs or parties today really doesn't care how I do what I do. They care about the end result. The journey of how we create that end result means nothing to the masses. Whether you use Scratch Live, midi, cds, Auto Sync - The final destination is the only thing that counts. If you can't deliver results then you won't get booked again period. Honestly, if really think your credibility really rests on this feature or that function either being there or not then you are kidding yourself. Getting creative, pushing the boundaries and working harder is the only way you are going to gain and keep your credibility.

skratchworx 11:08 AM - 1 March, 2010
So if I understand correctly, because of a feature that existing users won't even notice or use, some would take the massive retrograde step of abandoning their current digital setup to return to the keeping it real analog approach?

That's the ultimate in cutting off your nose to spite your face. It's a massive middle finger to Serato that they won't even notice. Forgive me, but I really don't believe for a second that you'll do that, and I'm pretty sure you don't either.

SSL will look, feel and be exactly the same as before - it'll simply have a feature that you don't have to use. Serato won't have devalued the software in any way at all, and people who use it now will have just as much credibility as they ever did.

But I guess if it gets added, all of these people - serato.com - and every other SSL user will suddenly become a fake DJ with zero credibility right?

Honestly, how can that not be a good thing? More money = more resources for R&D = more features coming out more quickly...

Dj-M.Bezzle 2:49 PM - 1 March, 2010
heres my 2 cents, Ive seen the autosync feature before on tons of equipment, my 1st pioneer cmx 3000 cd decks offered it and so do traktor and other DVS software, now non of these work very well most just catch it up to lock it into place for a second but your external pitch is the master, if serato did this im sure they would have it be the best auto sync onthe market....heres the problem, I keep seeing all these big djs in big markets talk about how creativity keeps them afloat and they have XXX amount of years in the game...the reason youve got that background is because you came up when you acutually had to have talent to do it, and now since you have connections and a background you can continue to do your thing, a good autosync feature would take away the last little piece of talent a DJ can use as leverage for skill. I know in the big markets where theres alot of history in DJing its all about being creative and scratching and things like that, but in alot of our smaller markets its not about all that, i know in my current area its play whats hot open to close, you can throw your own twist on it but if you go out every night for a month here youll never hear 1 scratch or more than 10 songs that arent present or past hot garbage....that said what keeps these djs in a job is the dedication they put in to learn the art, if there was a good autosync one that acutualyl synced the 2 tracks at the push of a button how long do you think it would be before the owners decided why pay this guy 200 a night to do what i can pay my door guy 75 to so when all he has to do is push a button to lock the tracks in together, i know people will start talking about song selection but seriosuly how hard is it to look at a list and go hmmm ive heard this on the radio 16 times on the way here ima play this, ive spun at 3 clubc in the last 5 months that all offered limewire on the computer in house, so in a market like mine basically the ability to match beats is the ONLY leverage left, and for everyone who says the BPMs are shown and matching waveforms are easy ya thats true if you put in the work but ive had tons of friends ive tried to teach who couldnt do it...the concept of the pitch controlling the time and keeping the time lined up really didnt click with them and they def wouldnt put in the time to learn, its alot harder for an owner to eplain all that to a door guy than it is to go, pick a hot song, push 1 on the keyboard and then on the chorus push this button and your done......sure alot of you experienced DJs with 20 years in the game wouldnt be affected but its the new kids comming up that are going to be fucked by it.

Also for all the TT enthuiasts how many TTs do you think will be newly sold when the sales guys are telling people their a waste of money because all you need is SL and a MIDI pad and SL will do all the work for you? If noones making money on TT sales itll be more than just a rumor of them discontining

I just look at Djing as a culture more than a job and i see it following the pattern of hip hop to rap, where its turning from a rich culture to a watered down job that technologys made it easy enough for anyone to do an the dollar is the bottom line.

I just look at Djing as a culture more than a job and i see it following the pattern of hip hop to rap, where its turning from a rich culture to a watered down job that technologys made it easy enough for anyone to do an the dollar is the bottom line.

chrisD....... i dont know what it is but i HAte SYNC....and because SSL has no SYNC is why i picked it over the others!

Fair enough.

But, hypothetically, if we did add auto sync to SSL what would you do? Change to something else? All similar products already have it.



does the CDJ 2000 offer auto-sync ;)


Bezzle, I hear where you are coming from and I think a lot of guys are affected by the influx of too many DJs in their market. What freaks me out more, and this is something we all have to face up to, if you are playing top 40 and DJ X is playing top 40 and the only thing that separates the two of you is the ability to beat match, then the game is lost and there is no DJ culture.

If you are in a market where top 40 is the only thing that gets you gigs and you did refer to the music as present or past trash, then you aren't supporting or building the culture - you are treating DJing exactly like a shitty day job. And yeah man, if top 40 is your one trick pony and it's not paying the bills or feeding your soul, not trying to sound like a dick but you might want to consider quitting.

The good news is there are a ton of things you can do to shake things up to be creative and to contribute to the culture that you love even if your market sucks ass - Start a new night, learn a new genre, join a band, collaborate with musicians, produce tracks, do a radio show, take music theory at a local college, learn an instrument, teach kids how to be "real" djs. None of this stuff will probably make you bread out of the gate but it will ad depth and richness to you as an individual. That in turn ads depth and richness to the DJ culture. Based on what you and a lot of other guys are saying, you're not making bread anyway because your market is saturated. My market is saturated. Unless you live under a rock, everyone's market is saturated so you might as well get proactive and really start contributing to the culture - Culture is a two way street and you are one of the drivers, not just a passenger taking a ride until it hits a dead end.

Bezzle, you seem like a good dude and I'm hoping you don't think I am picking on you. I am writing this as much for me as I am for all the other misguided and confused. As I step back from this thread, it's really disheartening to see that auto sync can cause such controversy. People keep saying auto sync will make people lazy, it will make djing easy, it's cheating, credibility will be lost blah blah blah. I'm convinced now more than ever that auto sync would force the lazy and the potentially lazy to step up their game or get completely run over. Alright, back to my shitty day job :)

+1 for auto sync
DjLogan 5:59 PM - 1 March, 2010
I think if it were added maybe having a way to disable it in setup would be a good idea. Or if an option in the install program were put in to not include feature would also be good.
That way all these whiners complaining about this feature can't complain
If you dont want it dont use it

Personally I don't care either way.

Chris makes a valid point. If all the competitors have this feature why shouldn't Serato?

i may not have made aa few points in my post, I enjoy playing top 40 as well as breaks, electro, and more recently dubstep (DAMN YOU SNIFFLES), when i refer to it as radio garbage its a term we use on this board to identify music of the masses. The songs may not be the best but i do enjoy seeing the crowd reaction, but theres were our perminant name building, following building, and extra cash jobs are....playing the jiggy hits for the masses. Now down here the "real DJs" do create their own nights, we do breakbeat and EDM parties about once a month but not at the normal venues, they wont allow it, so we find spots to let real DJs do their thing. The catch here is if we werent playing the clubs everyone goes too, we wouldnt be able to have these events as we wouldnt have the names to A) back it up with the venues people, and B) have the following to support us. These new autosync guys have no interest in this its a paycheck for them so if\when they takeover say goodby to the richness that tradiational DJs bring. Besides that as a person who truly enjoys going to clubs to hear DJs spin i dont want a non musical security guy playing out of key limewire 68 kbs tracks.....but most of the public where i am wouldnt give a shit about it.

go use ur auto sync u low life talentless dj. u probally use 100 percent CC in ur show u jersey shore douchebag creeper swinging off pauly d's nuts

the minute all u guys bought scratch... u said fuck man.. i cant get vinyl anymore. they are making it too hard for us to acquire this shit... i cant afford 9 bucks a single, especially when its free on the internet! thats what i went thru.. at one point i was spending more money on vinyl then i was making djing.. and dont u fuckers even go.. well maybe u shpuld be making more money blah blah blah. stfu

anyone thats been in the game for 15 years or more....KNOWS.

i went with stupid instant start cd players for a couple years, and then came scratch, which had the vinyl control... who wouldnt jump on that... we all love vinyl control. thats the very first reason why we bought scratch... i heard it was good... i had no idea about reliability, i just knew that rane was involved... it had to be good.

they added new features. of course im gonna use them "step yo game up" is what its called.

i can go on and on and on... dont even...

yes it does....that someone who was lucky enough to get their foot in the door when alot was required to do so and build a name before the market became saturated dosent need to worry about some kid with auto sync...thats VERY TRUE..the reason im personally against it is when you vets retire and its Kid A who practiced and knows his stuff and wants a real DJs check but has 0 real life experience, VS kid B who knows how to push an auto sync button who wants $25 and a sandwich because he didnt put any time into learning the craft and also has 0 experience. I know all the vets are gonna talk about how the skilled one will rise ect ect ect, but when super button lets you beatmatch enough to get through a top 40 set functionally, how does kid A get that chance to rise to the top

the_black_one 6:52 PM - 1 March, 2010
At chrisD................lets be real.......... there has to been internal talks of auto sync at SSL meetings. There has to be a good reason why they have not added the feature because the technology is available. I don't expect you or anyone else to tell me those reasons but i know they exist.

1) SSL is not the only one in this DVS game so it has to stay true to it's believes (solid rock performance,fee updates,simple lay out)

2)they have to make money..... you do that by staying #1 or very competative

3)the new bread of DJ (the ones that have not bought a Serato product) are looking for the best DVS and SSL want to be that DVS for them,but at the same time it has to listen to their core costumers(they do better than anyone).

It's called HUSTLE, and getting your GRIND ON.

Let's say a kid out there is trying to break in the scene....

Do his HISTORY, which would probably lead him to a cat that's been IN THE GAME for a minute, which would lead to connects, and networking, which would lead to him getting PUT ON.

But you know what's REALLY burning your soul?

The fact that EVERYONE (including Serato) is laughing their azzez off at you.

Serato KNOWS you ain't gonna sell SHIT.

You YOURSELF, know you ain't gonna sell shit, Why? Because you are already threatened and scared of losing gigs to a FEATURE that isn't even OUT on Serato yet...

So you will need ALL the tools possible to hold that measly bar job you have.

You can't even leave this thread because I have you so worked up.

You put your "credentials" out there, but like I said, when you STARTED, I was already at the height of my DJ career.

First off, what are you doing giving a CLUB OWNER a TAPE? Who makes TAPES?

Right then and there, I would have passed you over, as I'm SURE the "DJ" there at least provided him with a CD.

it most certianly is happening now, i recently went to a club that just switched owners about 6 months ago, i went in and the music was being mixed horribly, it was kinda on beat but he was fading out on lyrics, the phrasing was wrong the mixes were off key, i went and talked to him (i network with all djs) and asked what he was mixing on and he said nothing just VDJ, i asked him how long he had been mixing and he tells me the owner asked him to start learning about 2 weeks before the club opened.....dance floor was still going strong, later i met the owner and i told him i was a dj and gave him a tape and explained to him he could use a real dj, he asked fow what he pays the guy playing in drinks the crowd comes anyways for the drink specials and no cover and as long as he plays the hits the crowd happy, he also didnt want alot of unnecessary equipment "cluttering" the club


First off, what are you doing giving a CLUB OWNER a TAPE? Who makes TAPES?

Right then and there, I would have passed you over, as I'm SURE the "DJ" there at least provided him with a CD.

Step up your game Beezle.



tape = cd you read that way to literally, they do still call them mixtapes....if you buy a DJ Drama mixtape from the store its a cd

If this is what happens when a minor feature is only talked about being added, I'd hate to see what happens when it is.

Walk away gentlemen. It's really not important enough to fall out over. Move away from the keyboard - go spin some cool tunes or maybe even go outside.

ive done guest spots\fillins at 3 of the best clubs down here and was speciffically told by the resident and owner to nto scratch, not play remixes, play mostly radio stuff that people know and keep the crowd dancing.......all that really leaves is mixing and being creative with wordplay and transitions where i can and from what ive heard from people in the surrounding areas more and more this is the trend thats occuring, and i dout owners are going to pay someone 200+ more dollars over someone else because they loop a few bars and make a creative transition when they can add to their revenue and have someone just do the basics with an auto sync

But even if what you SAY is true, that's still something where you have to let him give you a BREAK, DJ the best way you know how, and do what you do.

I've NEVER heard management tell a DJ NOT to scratch, juggle, or do whatever UNLESS the DJ is doing it to the point of DISTRACTION.

I tire of all this cheating twaddle.

Here's an idea - dig out a heap of regular vinyl and try to recreate what you already do when using SSL - no loops, no cues, no sampler etc. At this point, you'll realise just how much alleged cheating SSL does, thus rendering the argument against one extra feature that you don't even have to use utterly invalid.

The truth of the matter is that if SSL gets auto sync, it'll be added with a little fanfare, a tiny minority will kick off about ruining SSL forever wahwahwah I'm burning my gear etc, but they those same people will continue to use SSL regardless for the very reasons that they already use it now. The addition will add to rather than ruin the already game leading product, and DJs will continue to do what they do, and probably find creative ways to use it in their sets too - just like all the other cheat features in all DVS software.

so.... I take that to mean you're against it?

Instead of Fighting, go out and get more known, so you don't have to be in this shitty forum fighting over non sense..

That is the reason why good djs are not here. They are not here because they don't give a damn about this feature.. they will get gigs with or without sync ;D

There, i feel better now :)... go head and bash on me if you feel offended, i'm only 18.

It's funny how "THE MAJORITY DON'T WANT AUTO SYNCH" keeps getting mentioned in this thread, when it's more like the same 10 DJ's don't want Auto Sync. I want someone to prove to me that THE MAJORITY chose SSL because it didn't have Auto Sync. lol Like someone else said, STABILITY not Auto Sync.

Anyhow, I don't care if Auto Sync gets added or not, but I can see how it can be beneficial, specially for the show DJ's who use 3 or 4 turntables. Auto Sync can become very handy than.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Sam get quoted a long time ago that Auto Sync would not be added to SSL?

That would be the way a minority of people use it. The majority of people would do exactly what they do when using software that already has this feature...allow it to do all the mixing because "they have better things to do".

I have had too many discussions with other DJ's and owners that want autosync features just because (these are true examples):

A) I'm a mobile DJ and when I am working a wedding the last thing I have time for is mixing a song...I am just too busy to stand behind my rig all night and "DJ"

B) Mixing interrupts my flow...I need to keep watching the floor

C) I cannot afford a DJ that plays Serato so I just had VDJ installed

These are all true responses that I have heard. To me any of them are reason enough to not install autosync into what is commonly referred to as the top of the line DVS software in the marketplace.
DjWoody 8:54 PM - 1 March, 2010
lol WOW! Those responses made me laugh. In all honesty, if Auto Sync lets the DJ get creative, than more power to them. But if DJ's start using it because they're lazy, than WTF? lol... I personally wouldn't use it because it takes away from the fun of being a DJ. It's the same reason why I don't use Ableton Live at my gigs. It's just plain boring.

And actually, that example doesn't even apply here because in the 1st example, dude is saying he CAN'T AFFORD A DJ,

while in the 2nd example, A DJ didn't loose his place to a n00b using an Autosync feature....There wasn't even the mention of a DJ there in the 1st place.

Nice try at trying to merge the 2 arguments, but it fails on both accounts.

yes but they didnt want to pay before the difference was they still had to find someone capable of DJing and get him to agree on a price, now with advances in auto syns they can just get a security guard they already pay or a fam memeber to do it and say fuck the dj altogether

lol Yea, I can see how real world examples concerning this exact thing fails in your eyes.

You (your thoughts) are exactly the type of person that should just be quiet about wanting an autosync feature and just hope that it gets implemented. You do far more damage to the argument that support it.

Basically your point of view is

1) I WANT IT!! (pouts because it's not in there)

2) EVERYONE ELSE HAS IT (pouts because you don't have it)

3) GIVE IT TO ME AND EVERYONE ELSE SHUT UP (pouts because no one listens to you and you cannot find a way to intelligently discuss valid points)

I think that sums it up.

i dont think its a cant pay situation as much as a rather pay less situation, especially with this economy and especially in smaller markets more and more places are going with whatever the cheapest alternative is, auto sync just widens that pool and the more advanced the auto sync gets the more and more people you have who can do what normaly it would take a at least compitant DJ to do.....if someone invests 0 time in learning and time in equipment, 25 bucks and some free drinks is a great deal

If it is, then you need to leave the game.

I can't understand why people don't realize that the minute you connected your Turntables up to a computer, you were "Making it EASIER FOR YOU TO MIX".

It's as simple as that.

Serato had better improve the key-lock algorithm before they attempt to implement this kind of a feature... (if infact it works in a similar way?)

I'm not really up to speed on how auto-sync actually operates.
Is it similar to "warping" in Ableton? (because I've heard it affects sound quality adversely -similar to key-lock)

Can auto-sync handle songs with tempo fluctuations (live drummers)?

does anyone have actual experience with this type of feature?

thats what im getting at there are ALOT more 1 horse towns than there are NYs and LAs, and when all those 1 horse towns start losing all their spots to auto-synced cousing and door guys and all the talented DJs either quit or move to your spot it cant be good for anyone, the culture or personally.....especially when "good" djs move to your city and give "good" performances for peanuts because their trying to "network" or make a name for themselves there.......i know your going to say this dosent affect you and your prob right but thats because you HAVE a name that was built before all this BS, but what of all the new guys.....what reason do they have to acutually learn something or continue the culture when theres nothing in it for them to put in the extra work to learn it right

Ha! Even KEY LOCK is a "Feature" that makes you "MIX BETTER".

As a matter of fact, it enables you to do something that you aren't even SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO DO....

If using 2 pieces of vinyl, and the mix doesn't sound right because of differing BPM's, and one song sounds like Alvin and the Chipmunks, you just can't use those 2 records.

KEY LOCK enables you to "cheat" and mix those 2 songs together...

You can't even replicate that with vinyl, you can ONLY use a Digital process to get that mix.

So now what? Why didn't everybody shut down KEY LOCK?

Because it made you "MIX BETTER"....

You guys complain about auto sync. What about in 5 years when someone releases a "read the crowd software" than can read peoples emotions to track played using the same emotion recognition technology they use in vegas to find cheats. It would randomly choose a track, read the reactions of people in the crowd, hell you could even analyze the weight on the dancefloor to figure out if people are dancing with no human interaction.

DJing will get fully automated one day. For those that say no, im pretty sure most assembly line workers said that robots couldnt replace a skilled worker.

Yall better start finding ways to stand outand find a nice Niche with this technology and improve it and embrace it before it replaces you. Its only a matter of time.

you wouldnt even need the software, from my experience you if you just randomly play whats on the radio the crowd is JUST as happy as if you organise an inteligent set, all you would need is software than looks at the top 40 tracks of the current and last 3 years annalyses the BPMs and goes down the list

Think about it, put a weight scale under the dancefloor.

Play random tracks. More weight on dancefloor, higher track rating. Program software to play highest ranking tracks at 1am. As tracks start to fade out of popularity less ppl will dance to them, therefore automaticaally downgrading the songs rating.

Yall better start finding ways to stand outand find a nice Niche with this technology and improve it and embrace it before it replaces you. Its only a matter of time.

Play random tracks. More weight on dancefloor, higher track rating. Program software to play highest ranking tracks at 1am. As tracks start to fade out of popularity less ppl will dance to them, therefore automaticaally downgrading the songs rating.

You never know but I would find it very strange being on a dancefloor with no DJ...plus how would the computer handle requests, cause even if you are a no requests DJ you can still get some good feedback from the crowd on what they would like to hear...I think we are a long way off fully integrated DJ software that does all that shit so I dont give a toss either way...even then, Ill just start a throwback night lol

I dont see how though, how does someone "skilled" get the oppritunity to rise when the jobs are taken by security gaurds and security guys who have work torrented HDs, auto sync buttons and work for 50 bucks a night? Cream dosent rise if its not put in the bucket

There is a difference between using technology to "mix better" and using technology to completely do the mixing for you.

Why can't you see that simple point?


Of course I see it, and I hear your PASSION.

But I'm realistic, and I'm in IT.

I'm also a Business Man.

I'm also a veteran DJ who (recently) made the switch from Vinyl to DVS.

I see it all.

The truth is that it doesn't MATTER what we "think". This machine is driven by the customer.

The customer wants music, but CHEAPLY.

Enter the company who can provide that to them, (iPods, VDJ, Serato, Torq, Traktor, etc..)

Enter the person willing to "Program" it for you ( A Legit DJ, a Security Guard, your little brother, etc..etc..)

The end result can be accomplished by ANY combination of the above for varying prices, if any.

The crowd no longer cares about "mixes", neither does management.

But said "Company" wants to stay afloat. What do they do? Appeal to the masses.

Again, the ONLY ONES who care how a DJ does his thing, is another DJ.

Nobody else cares....seriously.

So what happened to the clubs that have a DJ there to break new records?....I dont/will never do top 40 music anyway so this dont apply to me...maybe thats the loophole guys, how is the computer gonna stay ahead of the game in terms of breaking the new tracks from different genres?....and Bezzle, that sounds like clubs round your way suck absolute balls!...dont think big city clubs would ever adopt that approach though, not in the near, or distant future.

If a Sync button ever does appear in an update, then just don't use the Sync button. My favourite DJ software is still (and has been for nearly five years now) Scratch Live, but I'll use Itch occasionally when I need to travel light, and I've never bothered to use the Sync feature.

You would buy your requests at the bar with your drink, more incentive for bars to kick you bastids all out. The timing of the song play would be dependent on both the rating and the donation given.

. As for no DJ, here in NYC a LOT of placed you cant even see the DJ. Hes either Up high or behind some wall with a small slot to look out.



The business side will eventually take over the art side if the art can be successfully reproduced for cheap. Its just good business.

Dude, all that is already in the mix via Electronic Playlists, (look at Serato), get a new artist on the roster, push it to a location to put in ROTATION vs. how many times people request it....

That's actually simple.

Just like how "Radio" used to be.

That's the truth.

Ok, I'm going to tell you why I REALLY got on to Serato.

I got called up by that comedy show guy "Talent" who is on NY Radio 98.7 KISS, and I've done a few things with him in the past.

Anyway, I've always been a vinyl DJ, so he calls me up and says, "Hey Johnny M, you got Serato? I have a question"...

I'm like, yeah I own it, BUT I don't use it yet...why?

He's like, he had a Technical question, and said, no problem, I'll just call somebody else.

Now, he KNOWS I'm viscious on vinyl, but at that moment I was "Behind the Times" and probably lost a few gigs behind it.

So, that motivated me to get up to speed.

A DJ these days "without" a laptop is considered behind the times, because the customer thinks you have EVERY SONG EVER MADE on that laptop.

You showing up with crates of vinyl, won't go over well these days.

Entertainers now EXPECT you to "loop" the beginning of their track for intros, they aren't bringnig two copies of vinyl, they're bringing a CD.

You HAVE to embrace technology, or you will be LEFT behind.

Trust.

I dont think its right to say no one cares about the mix other than a DJ , what about specialist clubs?...If your mixing is not up to par you will get boo'ed...some clubs I know are proud of the tradition of their club. They hire good DJ's, acts etc and the crowd know/expect quality. I know these types of clubs are not a dime a dozen but if the clubs adopt this approach in the future then the market is wide open for a back to basics club with actual humans making the god damn decisions.

I actually read a research paper on this. They tested it out at an invite only event where the people were tricked into going by saying they were gonna see some famous DJ. I forgot who the DJ was. When the DJ went on for his first 1 hr set, the software was doing all the work, and people didn't even noticed he wasn't mixing at all. The second half, he mixed live. The whole time, the patrons thought he was mixing.

I'm gonna look it up and post it. It was a reasearch done by a big company too.

Of course you're going to have FANS, and they may make your day, and acutally inspire you to push forth...

But the BULK of the masses, could care less.

When I personally DJ, I pick someone in the crowd who I personally want to get up and make dance, and I zone in on them, and everything else is just a flow.

By the evening, that person would be respesentative of the entire club if they had a good time.

That's my barometer.

But YOU'RE A DJ, so a DJ messing up will sting you more than the "Average Person", and thus, you'll get annoyed much more quicker.

The same would be true MOST TIMES of your spouse or wife (if she's into your Dj'ing).

They ALSO will get annoyed if they KNOW you could do a better job, and will want to go somewhere else.

you wouldnt even need the software, from my experience you if you just randomly play whats on the radio the crowd is JUST as happy as if you organise an inteligent set, all you would need is software than looks at the top 40 tracks of the current and last 3 years annalyses the BPMs and goes down the list


Yeap.

<<<EXAMPLE 1>>>
There's a TGI Fridays by my house that's packed all the time. I'm talking about there's a line to get in. They're opened til 2am and guess what? They don't have a DJ. The blast the music loud with an iPod or mixed CD's. People don't care and that place gets packed with people just having a good time getting shitfaced. I bet you that TGI Fridays is making more money than a lot of our clubs are.

<<<EXAMPLE 2>>>
I went to Medieval Times on Friday. We went for the diner show, and were surprised they have a "CLUB" after the show. MT has an in house system and they put one of their female employees on the DJ booth (A Behringer Mixer with 2 home CD players). There was no mixing whatsoever, she was just pressing play and skipping songs. It looked like she was given a playlist. Guess what? People didn't care and were still dancing the whole time I was there.

Both those examples show you how the DJ is becoming more and more disposable.

There are plenty of girls at most clubs so that shouldnt stop you.


Im in NYC. Lets go to Marquee on saturday night and poll the club goes about who is DJing. Im betting more than half wouldnt know or care, as long as theres bitches and booze there. A lot of Djs think they are bigger than they really are.

Maybe marquee is a bad example, but take any of the top40 bars on 3rd avenue, or in the 70s on the west side do you really think they give a fuck whos DJing?

When I personally DJ, I pick someone in the crowd who I personally want to get up and make dance, and I zone in on them, and everything else is just a flow.

By the evening, that person would be respesentative of the entire club if they had a good time.

That's my barometer.

I do the same thing. But I usually look for a group women not just one person

But YOU'RE A DJ, so a DJ messing up will sting you more than the "Average Person", and thus, you'll get annoyed much more quicker.

The same would be true MOST TIMES of your spouse or wife (if she's into your Dj'ing).

They ALSO will get annoyed if they KNOW you could do a better job, and will want to go somewhere else.


Yeah, I suppose your right. I think its probably about 70 percent of people though. There are a few clubs around my way that kind of have a certain following...one place has one floor that plays kind of funky house music and them people love their music lol...mad ravers!..they listen to the mix more in my opinion but upstairs the club plays mostly generic Hip-Hop/RnB and top 40...they are the type of crowds that dont really pay attention to the mixing as much...Im definately glad for specialist clubs though...without them, my nightlife wouldnt be as good, well, clubwise anyhow.

As a few stated already, I have no issue with autosync as long as people are taking that time that's saved and aiming it towards other things. Definitely will up the creativity level.

FYI-- A few people mentioned Traktor. Autosync does not lock in while using timecode. Only in internal mode. It's main purpose is for those running 4 decks w/ midi controllers. Yes, I have both Serato and Traktor.

It's about Networking (Promotion), getting your Hustle Up (Persistance), having a good Business sense (Know what you're talkingabout), and being Technologically Viable (Self Explanatory).

Once you master those traits, you will be able to DJ forever.

this is why i spend more effort trying to produce more and book "real" DJ gigs instead of all the top40 shit gigs that although they pay the bills, are some of the more annoying gigs to take.

Yea, it's a skill and even a challenge and it's even satisfying popping the crowd with whatever tired hits you have to play, but i have a much better time when i know the crowd is there to see me be me than having to run my selections through some top40 filter to please the self-entitled crowds who could care less what i'm doing behind the decks so long as they get to hear Bedrock, Tik Tok or whatever is the ringtone/auto-tuned hot garbage of the moment next.

Just saying what Blend? You could try making a point rather than taking lame pot shots at me.

Am I biased? Well, I work for Serato so that obviously that puts me a different position than most people on this forum. But there's a logo next to my display name that everyone can see so it's hardly a mystery.

You also made the total non-point that Serato "wants more money". Serato is a business functioning within in a capitalist model. We're legally obligated to try a turn a profit. So no news there.

My position (or "bias" as you call it) should be perfectly clear to anyone reading this thread. But your comments come from circumstances known only to you and you've made very little attempt to explain them to anyone.

Anyway, why are you holding me to different standard than everyone else? I follow the rules and offer my opinion on topics that interest me. If you don't like it that's entirely your problem.

2)some of us cant stand the thought of the computer doing the mixing for us because it's wack,cheating,n00b,low ball DJ.
3)some of us welcome it and see what can that feature do for us.
4)Serato is a company that needs to make a profit
5)in reality, if you do move to another DVS,that DVS is probably going to have Sync.
6)the mods like their jobs and will like to continue working for serato/rane so they will not tell you inside information that will jeopardize their job
7)sync..... no sync.......Im still going to put bread on my table by rocking the club!

well for me it is important. I guess that's why I went from being a pro to a hobbyist who went back to school. The dj used to be the most important guy in the club, now it's the bartender. These are dark times.
djcharles 8:10 AM - 2 March, 2010
my 2 cents: not sure if anybody else said this but when people come to me and say "you guys aren't real DJs, now the computer can do all the work for you, blah blah blah..." I liked being able to say "actually not with Serato, it's a program for REAL PROFESSIONAL DJS and therefore you still have to do all the work just as if you were using real vynil"
With Autosync being implemented, that argument loses all credibility and to be honest so does a lot of the trade.
it's not about having a feature that we can choose to use or not, it affects all of us.

This is why we have all these "subpar" Diva's out there now (Mary J, Fantasia, Beyonce), vs. giving props to those who can REALLY sing (Jill Scott, Angie Stone, Jennifer Hudson)....

20 year vet. for me autosync kills the art of learning how to mix, learning timing, the basics, and technique. all the people who put countless hours to learn these skills and to pay dues to get gigs or for the love of the music will be a myth to what could happen. anyone could just by a program, downlaod songs, auto mix it and then there goes the culture. its like buying a guitar or drumset that plays for you. celebreties wouldn't having even dared to dj until they seen how easy it is to line up a waveform like its a video game. now you have these artists butchering the music and getting paid tons taking seasoned djs gigs, add autsync and its a commercial mess. i'd compare it to lip syncing. who gets more respect for their talent from peers and spectators? the actual singer or the milli vanilli artist? autosync is the lipsync of djing.

But WHAT eventually HAPPENED to Milli Vanilli?

They were exposed.

But in TODAY'S CULTURE, the question is whether the masses would care anymore.
lsdjmist 9:54 AM - 2 March, 2010
exposed after how long though? Either way it was not a good thing and they are considered a gimic and embarrassment to the music industry. is that what we want the dj to be considered? a gimic? dj's were the backbone of hip hop because of their talent and knowledge and this is what it comes to? what a slap in the face to the pioneers and hard work. ignore the milli vanilli point but look at the others i put up.

If the masses didn't care, there wouldn't be shows like american idol which show true talent. I can tell you this much, artists who need autotune to sing and hit notes do not get as much respect either. See if they're asked to sing a national anthem. haha!

might as well buld a juke box, select 3 hours worth of songs, and let play with built in autosync then where will you be djing? club will save money and you will be out. don't think something like that isn't on the horizon. just like workers replaced by robots.

LOL! American Idol is one of the BIGGEST perpetrators of "Canned" talent EVER.

That show is built to bring in RATINGS.

As a matter of fact, the Season where the 3 DIVA'S, Fantasia, Jennifer Hudson, and some other chick that looked like Gladys Knight, is a PERFECT example.

There is NO WAY, that Jennifer should have lost that season to Fantasia.

You IMMEDIATELY had Music Icons like ELTON JOHN dissing American Idol because fo that, and they immediately had to review their "voting" procedures, and implore for people to really vote for who was BEST.

That show is scripted, and full of comedy, but their job is to bring ratings.
DJJOHNNYM_vSL3 10:21 AM - 2 March, 2010
Jennifer went on to star in Dream Girls vs. Beyonce' where she made Beyonce' look like a beginner.

THAT is true, RAW talent, and she does it effortlessly, as it should be.

The minute you need ProTools, Voice Coaches, and smoke and mirrors, you've got a problem.

Today's singers are ALWAYS getting challenged as to whether they can REALLY sing or not.

You would NEVER question the likes of Chaka Khan, Minnie Ripperton, Cher, Donna Summer, Angie Stone, Jill Scott, Phyllis Hymen or Stephanie Mills, or Pre-Crack Whitney.

My take on this: If your not a DMC/battle DJ, then Auto-sync shouldn't be a big deal... If you are, You should be using REAL RECORDS anyway.

It would seem almost everyone forgot what DJing is all about. If your not doing it to have fun and/or rock the party, Your not doing it for the right reasons. Money is just a extremely nice benefit.

SIDE NOTE: Auto-sync is a feature that changes the BPM's to match the other track. It does not beatmatch. Some people confuse that. (Though some programs have that too.) Also, SSL uses a CV that has time-code on the record instead of music. This alone means that to sync it, it would have to physicly move the vinyl itself to match. And thats not possible from software alone. ITCH on the other hand...

fuck man, you can already achieve auto-sync if you want it. I judged a DJ contest a bit ago in the vein of the redbull 3style - 15 minute sets per dj.

when i watched the contestants, i think maybe 1 out of the 8 in the finals touched the pitch controls at all - everyone else seemed to have edited their tracks to the same bpm.

I'm seeing more and more kids thinking this way with edits and thanks to programs like ableton, it's super simple to pull this shit...
Dj-M.Bezzle 4:52 PM - 2 March, 2010
it still takes some knowledge to make an edit, i know i have no idea how to do it

plus that was a contest so odds are they had a set planned out, i dont see how you can have a whole night of tracks edited to thje same bpm

Itch has a option to move the already bpm synced track over a touch to match up the beats on the track ( beat matching).. It doesn't work right.... lol

ya honestly in reality its gonna take alllllloooootttttt of work to get "auto-sync" anywhere near functional....lucky technology made it easier for everyone and their mom to become a producer before it made everyone and their mom able to become a dj, therefor we have a wolrd full of overproduced sloppy tracks that even the best software will have difficulty distuingishing the snare from a vocal or even a bass hit lol.....need proof, load up a soljer boy produced track on the right deck and a timberland track on the left and compare the waveforms

The thing I love about serato is that they take baby steps to make sure shit works. Not like other DVs systems that just adds a shit load of stuff and hope to fix it down the road.
So that being said maybe Serato needs to worry about fixing it's dam Key-Lock before wasting it's time on
"auto-sync" for serato
RogerRabbit 6:50 PM - 2 March, 2010
This thread is funny as hell - people dissing tracktor & vdj users - calling them no talent dj's - but scared to death that serato may introduce auto sync.
Priceless...

If I owned the software company and a feature will give access to a wider user base - why not implement it.

and from a company standpoint you are absolutley correct sir, its acutually in seratos best interest because i would dare to say that a large portion of their sales come from bedroom djs and noobs, making it eeasier and more accessable to the masses is what they SHOULD be doing....that said a companys personal interests are not always in line with what is best for the real world......for example walmart lowered prices and makes it easy for everyone to do all their shopping at one place....the result was local owned busniesses not being able to compete and shutting down and tons of people working in a store with low prices who get paid so little they cant afford to shop there

Whos to say theres no skill involved. Maybe it will go back to the way of the early 60s an 70s where the best programmers are the ones killin shit. Its not that theres no skill, just a different set of them.

I honestly don't believe adding autosync will boost serato sales. But maybe it will.
Why you really think so many pro DJ's use serato nowadays and not Traktor? Its not only because of stability, because Traktor IS a damn stable program.

What do you associate with the brand Rane and Serato?

For me it is:
1) Quality product
2)Stability
3) No cheats
4) Good customer support

I think this is some important factors why Serato has the position in todays market, and credibility among DJ's. Adding autosync now would be a step in wrong direction. Maybe in the future this would be different though.

Its much easier to ruin a brand then build it...

RogerRabbit 8:47 PM - 2 March, 2010
Firstly the developers already said autosync will not be added but if in the future they did decide to add it I don't see the big deal.

In ssl there is already a waveform display - the mini waveform where you can tell if your tracks are lined up. Even if you don't use the waveforms, there is the bpm info on the decks - all you got to do is adjust the pitch on the TT to corresponding decks. That itself, if you want to be techinal is not auyosync, but "assisted sync".

And btw - the myth the ssl dj's are better torq, tracktor, vdj is false. I have since some (non sync) dj's on other forums who are pretty good.
DJJOHNNYM_vSL3 8:48 PM - 2 March, 2010
I can't believe ONE little feature has a BUNCH of DJ's up in arms.

If AutoSync will derail your career, you might REALLY want to rethink your DJ'ing strategy.

I mean, that's what it REALLY comes down to.

It has nothing to do with the "DJ Culture" because there are a million OTHER ways to cheat.

Editing CD's/Tracks before mastering.
Echo'ing out/Taking the Bass Out
Ableton
Skipless Records
Relative Mode

And a lot of this stuff can be done On The Fly, or right in your Bedroom/LAB, so you can slice and dice each and every erroneous Wave right out of the picture.

I don't see how AutoSync is the EndAll, when DJ's BEEEEEEENNN cheating since marking records.

DJJOHNNYM_vSL3 8:51 PM - 2 March, 2010
The thing is this....

Something is considered "Cheating" until it's "Accepted" by the masses.

When we all got Skipless Records, it was a go.

When we all learned how to use effects, it was a go.

When we all learned how to use Cue Points, or Markers, it was a GO.

See a pattern here?

i just think its one more feature to bring the below average dj with little or no talent to the next level without workin hard at it...

i cant scratch with the best of them.. i lay down some simple scratches here and there.. just to spice some things up, but im not howling at the moon to try and get auto scratch... auto scratch would be just as simple to implement as auto sync, maybe even easier LOL


ahhh maybe i'll start a petition to an auto scratch thread. whos with me ?

Are you KIDDING ME?

First OFF, you don't have to worry about needles skipping. That is a TALENT all by itself.

Secondly, you can do all kinds of loops and things, that you can't do with vinyl.

There are a million "Cheats" with CD's vs Vinyl, that I won't even expand on in here.

You can't be saying that CDJ's and Turntables are basically "The Same".

Quote:

So what if it "only affects scratching"? That's in intergral part of HIPHOP DJ'ing. Again, keeping control of the needle not skipping all over the place is the heart of it all. And they were eventually accepted once everyone could get their hands on them.

Quote:

That is NOT true. You have DJ's that just do SLAMS all night. Mixing is not a requirement anymore.

Stability was a HUGE advantage Serato had over Traktor back when it first came out. At the time, Trakto Skratch Pro wasn't around, it was still Final Scratch. It was so unstable, that DJ's weren't trusting it. I remember, cuz I bought FS back before Serato. However, when NI ended it's partnership with Stanton, that's when Traktor Scratch Pro got introduced and things really picked up. Traktor became stable making it NI's priced jewlled and Serato's only serious competitor.

A big problem happened with all this. Serato already had a big market share and NI had to play catch up. Serato was already being implemented in many clubs where NI was still trying to re-image them selves and gain DJ's trust again.

Fast forward to 2010, and now both programs are pretty much head to head with each other where it's becoming a personal preference. I don't think stability is a major issue with both now. They're both stable and really good pro applications each with it's own pro's and con's feature wise. Now, in the USA you pretty much see Serato at most Top 40 venues, where as you see Traktor at most EDM venues.

No need for sync, i hope it never happens to be honest.

I'd rather it just wasnt there at all so they could see for themselves.

I don't think that has anything to do with any one particular software feature though. That's more a product of DJing software in its entirety.

It's a much lower barrier to entry for a wannabe to download some cracked software than it is to scrimp and save and buy a couple of 1200's and a DJ mixer.

and they will say im only paying my dj 60 bucks... why are u paying ur guy 400 ? and quite frankly.. thats gonna make bar owners/bar managers think a little differently..
FunkyRob 1:16 AM - 3 March, 2010
When it does come out, it won't be perfect. None of these existing automix software programs do.

They work better with 4/4 electronic music, but even still some basic dj skill is required to get them started in time.

I have an old version of traktor on my mac from my old days of using Final Scratch. It took way too much work to get the "sync" button to work and it just wasn't worth all the time to properly prepare the tracks.

I own an m-audio xsession midi controller that came with a lite version of torq. For the hell of it, I gave it a whirl and couldn't get the songs to autosync.

I think we've all heard horrible virtual dj mixes on youtube

Who's afraid they are going to loose a gig to this guy?

Henry - I understand that problem, and the solution is complicated if in fact it exists at all.

If bar owners are prepared to debase the bar going experience for their patrons in the name of saving money then I'm not sure that there's anything that any of us can do about that.

I agree with JohnnyM's sentiment that DJs need to continue to provide reasons why they're worth the money they want to get paid. In that respect DJing is much like any job. But I'm also sympathetic to the idea that technology and cultural shifts can make things hard for working DJs.

I don't know what the answer is but I don't believe that Serato including or excluding auto-sync from their software will have a major bearing on the outcome at the end of the day.

heres a quick story, im a pretty decent dj, i play music video at my gig on sat nights. i told the owner im taking off so i can go celebrate my friends bday and go see dj kris p play at the that club that she bartends and her bf(my good friend) owns...

i told him i was having a friend from out of town come in, and told my owner hes good, and he will do a good job... the owner was like... i could have gotten a 100 DJ to cover for you.... and saved some serious money... i had to convince him to keep up with a good product..

he agreed.

the dj he wanted to bring in.... uses virtual dj, and also uses the auto sync feature LOL and downlaods his videos from youtube. if it wasnt for my names sake and the hustle/grind/whatever any moron wants to call it... this guy might have convinced the owner at one time to let him spin, but since i know the owner well.. and he trusts me. he agreed to me djing there, and letting me have whoever i want to help me out when i wanna take a night off..

if that other dj would have stepped in front of me and got the gig... he would have ruined the club... noone would be going there, it would be too late. and then the next owner will do the same dammmmn thing.. i been thru this plenty of times.djs that dont have a good sense of how to dj, but know how to talk... sometime get the gig. it happens in every city.

will a virtual dj/auto sync dj take my job? no... but could it affect my money, my rep, and strength that every dj has built their career on.. quite possibly

LOL!! The way I see it if you decide to use it you have more time to play and show more talent then just beat matching. Just because you know how to beat match doesn't mean you have talent and know how to put on a good set. Why not use a option that gives you the chance to do what you are up there to do anyway. Show your talent! if beat matching is all you got or you know how to end a song while another one starts, step it up..... and quit worring about the improvents in technology ruining your game...

in a way im looking out for myself... other djs... the product that i dearly love, reputation(im sure u have a great one.. u been init for 32 years !) my money. my history/my mark/my stamp/ that im leaving on this city..

I bet to differ on that last sentence. Evidently there are a bunch of wannabes who have enough money (some with a parent's credit card... or just as bad, all of these celebrities who are DJs all of a sudden) to buy expensive equipment and then falsely believe, to the detriment of the DJ profession, that having professional equipment equals being a good or professional DJ. So in many ways, the cost of professional equipment is not enough of a barrier.

I don't know jack shit about being a photographer, so if I go out and buy a nice and loaded $3,000 camera, will that then all of a sudden make me a professional photographer? No. It would simply make me a wannabe who can afford nice equipment. And if I go around pretending to be a professional photographer, well then that would be a slap in the face to those who put in years of practice to become the real deal.

Yes but having that expensive allows others to think you are a master carpenter...and would hire you for a job that you are not qualified for...excluding others from getting that job. The person hiring spends less and gets less...but then maybe he/she just thinks that ALL master carpenters suck as bad as this one.

That's the problem with allowing anyone access to the best chisel in the world.

+10 AUTO sync Button or BPM 2 decimals
Im an old skool guy too i dont like automix but come on guys
when working with the 3 or 4 decks can keep all the tracks in time and will be possible to remix on the fly . you can bring something new in your dj sets . peace and take it positively .



1st off you have 2 decimal points now...2nd the reason 3 and 4 decks is impressive is because it takes skill to operate 3 or 4 drcks at 1 time if you add auto sync and every microwave wanna be is throwing all kinda crap onto all 4 decks its gonna be a mess and not impressive at all anymore cause anyone can do it

you do realise that would bring wages down for real DJs to right? If the local bar down the street is paying a dj 25 a a night cause thats all they can afford and they found some no talent autosyncer to come push the button all night and people start going to that bar whats to keep the big club owner from looking at that and going hey i can save 300 a night but doing the same thing it obviously puts out results

Dj-M.Bezzle 2:08 PM - 3 March, 2010
I know i keep saying this and i am going to continue to do so, If you live in LA or NY ect ect your right it prob wont affect you the residents there have options to attend any number of a massive amount of venues and are accustomed to going where are we going tonight how bout here no the dj there sucks lets go here....and theres plenty of spots for the talent to outshine the lowjacks and the cream to rise...........I live in a worst case senario city where there is no option on where to go, 2 or 3 people own all the spots, new spots dont open they just close one of their spots down rename it then open it again, and there is no lets go here cause the DJ is good, its lets go here because i want to hear the kind of music the owner tlls the DJ to play...your options are A) Go to the top 40 club, B) go to the hood club C) Go to the bars and hear live bands...Before SL even with CDJs the few real DJs here had the market on lock because as easy as it seems to us to read 2 BPMs on a CDJ and match a beat most people try it for a few hours and say fuck this shit i dont get it...they dont have the heart to put the time it....since SSL came out one of the owners is trying his damndest to get his security guys to learn to read the lines and match them, the result is now 1 of the DJs who used to do thurs fri sat sun, is not only doin sat and sun.....the security does the job on thurs fri and hes HORRIBLE but people still show up and dance because he plays whats on the radio........add in a feature that lets you fake the most basic functions of a DJ and you can kiss all the talented DJs in my area good buy cause theres tons of door guys who love shep music and wanna be a star and push that button for 25 a night........and i know everyones gonna say well your area sucks but theres allllooooottttttt more places in the US like my area than they are like NY or LA

I don't think so, because then people will be going to the bar instead of the club, the drinks are cheaper and entry is free. Clubs and bars that want to be a little different will need to offer something better.

Hire a more expensive DJ?

Or maybe keep hiring DJs offering a better product. The styles might change, the names may change, but that change is coming, there's no escaping it.

I also don't buy that being able to beatmatch manualy is a skill worth fighting for, there's a lot more to DJing.

That's tragic, but how is not having Autosync in SSL going to change that? These same clubs will surely just start swapping out Serato for other systems anyway, as the DJs will be cheaper, either way you're screwed.

personally i dont think im good BUT i think its because we dont really have a rich history of djing here like they do in other places, as far as song selection we have the sheepest crowd in the world, when you play a radio banger and another radio banger then something they havent heard and they immediatly rush the booth screaming PLAY SOMETHING WE KNOW......and when that song does hit the radio those same people are the ones requesting it i dont think that detracts from the DJs skill in the least

Also when you constantly see DJs who are big names come in and they dotn get a reaction either one has to assume the crowd just sucks

And that "big name dj's" are only passing thru for a night or two but if the crowd is accustomed to a specific musical format, they are not going to be wowed by the new kid in town overnight.

Beatmixing requires a lot of skill, makes the learning process tedious but fun in the long run, allows for more creativity, and has more "soul" than an auto-sync button can ever provide.

You take out the process of manual beatmixing, and you remove the "wow" factor of DJs. It's no coincidence that posers who can't mix get caught playing another DJ's mix while pretending to be doing the mix live, all the while twisting knobs and what have you in order to fake the funk.

Automation, in theory, is a cool way to show off what technology can do. However, by taking out the human factor that automated tasks are designed to replace, you're really removing something unique from the process -- something with heart and soul --and at the same time introducing a stale quality to it.

Would football still be as exciting if the quarterback were replaced by a mechanism that shoots balls instead? Would a golfer still be considered talented if he utilized a machine that swung the club for him instead, yet while pretending that he can swing like an actual true golfer? Would a chef be considered awesome if he used a box of Betty Crocker cake mix that any lay person can use, instead of making a mix himself, yet while pretending to do things from scratch like an actual true chef?

Serato employees, I know you're number one priority is to make money, as with all businesses. But seriously, there's a fine line between that and exploiting, gutting, and raping an honored skill such as beatmixing in order to sell your product. Let auto-sync be the trait of a wannabe DJ's DVS of choice (Virtual DJ and any other program that wannabes gush about, and yes even Itch).

EXACTLY...i posted this before www.scratchlive.net read this...the key here is the line of "Ive been djing for a year and im better than all of you" because he preprograms his sets....if this clown had auto sync it would have been "Ive been djing all week and im better than all of you"

Beatmixing in this quantised 4 to the floor age requires nowhere near as much skill as it used to. This is what auto sync would essentially do - match BPMs and attempt to match the highs and lows to lock the beats. Big bloody deal - to be honest, it's a skill you can crack in a matter of days anyway.

It's as if the the naysayers genuinely believe this is the only thing that differentiates a noob from an expert, and having the OPTIONAL ability to use will destroy the DJ scene as we know it, leaving truly skilled DJs left at the wayside as noobs simply press the autosync button and take away all the DJ work ever.

Apparently knowing what to mix, when to mix it, for how long and crowd reading are nothing to do with it - you know... the real skills that separate the good from the bad.

I feel that like most things on the net, it's a small minority of vocal objectors who are making this appear to be a much bigger issue that it actually is. I expect it'll get added and absolutely nothing will change. At all. Ever.

No amount of words will change such strongly held and entrenched opinions. So I've said all I can be bothered to say on this.

yup and since the beat is already in the system it shouldnt be hard to select the type of scratch you wantm press the "Super Button", and it acts accordingly, like the song goes backwards for a secnd forward then back then plays normal, or the song goes into reverse and the songs cut out in transformer effect fashion

Took me about a year of practice to learn beatmatching. If I had a autosync button I think I still would put in the time of learning this skill. What if computer crashes or something goes wrong and you are forced to play without Serato. I always keep backup CDs with me if this where to happen.

Also I spend hours and hours a week to find good tunes to play in different situations.

I think if you are serious about DJing you will put in the time to learn this basic skill, spending hours looking for music and invest in quality gear.
I don't think a noob would do all this if he buys Serato because of the autosync feature.
Hence he could never compete with a person that is serious about djing.

Is there a no autosync facebook group??? I wan't to join :)

our entire concern is that giving people skills they didnt earn lets people who ARENT serious about DJing get jobs doing it, for someone who just wants to be mr cool superstar DJ and dosent care about DJing in general, and your right hes not going to spend hours looking for the perfect track to use in any situation, hes going to pirate a HD full of top 40, auto sync them up and give a performance that your typical sheep clubgoer will still eat up


musically we all know not to play (lets say boom boom pow when it was hot) 6 times in 2 hours, we spend too much time finding new stuff and have add from playing it, also we like to show off the skills we aquired, when jackass didnt earn or aquire any real mixing DJ does it and the crowd eats it up (which they will, think of how many requests you get for it after youve played it already) its going to keep happening and keep happening,

Quote:

"Owning the most expensive and sharpest chisel in the world does not make you a master carpenter."

I understand your point but it's different... that sharp chisel is not doing the work for you... it doesn't have a button to press that starts chiseling a perfect piece of work on it's own and neither is the fancy camera.... YOU still have to do the work... pressing a button to AUTO mix 2 records is NOT you doing the work.
I feel that WHATEVER you want to be or do, you should learn that craft.. if you aren't willing to do that, how bad do you really want it?
Do y'all think this is acceptable in every profession? Would you go the the hospital and let a "Dr." who has NO IDEA what he is doing operate on you because the machine had an AUTO SURGERY button on it or would you rather go to a trained PROFESSIONAL who has studied and mastered his craft?
I agree to features and the point that if you don't want to use it, don't use it but the line has to be drawn somewhere... things like loops and cue points give you the ability to do things you could not do with traditional DJing.... you cannot randomly jump to 5 different cue points with a traditional DJ set up... you just can't!... so I can see a feature like that as a tool... but BEAT MATCHING... MIXING 2 records... REALY... at the core, THAT'S WHAT DJing IS!!!
I'm sorry but if you don't care enough or are to damn lazy to learn the BASIC fundamentals of something, whatever it is, you have no business involving yourself in it.

If djing was some other kinda career where only the people who wanted to do it would be interested in it than an autowhatever would be ok, like if they had autocake bake that would be ok because only people who really wanted to get into food would be dealing with it......the problem with DJing is its a career that everyone wants to be a part of but not at all for the music...theres a million people out there who want to be a dj just to say their a dj or be "the man" in the club get free drinks bang broads ect.....all auto sync does is give these goons the same oppritunity to make it that a person who seriously cares about the art does

Theres a guy i know at the club who comes in about once a month and brags about how hes a DJ, whenever i ask why i havent seen him out he tells me cause hes giggin in memphis or north carolina or miami, everyone plays along like they dont know hes just a duechebag but ill quiz him every once in a while to see if hes even trying and he dosent know SQUAT..like i asked im if he used cds or TTs and he says TTs i ask what kind he says "the normal kind" i said techs, he said yes, i said which ones, he answers the basic ones....i said mk2 mk5 m5g, he says oh i dont even notice....dude if your a DJ you know your gear str8 up...now one night my boy was doin a party he was promotin and this dude was there, wasnt a big crowd, so my boy tells him to get on the decks....dude picks a good song sits there for a minute, presses play (didnt touch the pitch on the CDJ at all) moves the fader and TRAINWREK...he trainwrecks for like 30 seconds then fades all the way over, pucks another song TRAINWREK...at which point he pushes the power button and yells that they have fucked up equipment thats messin him up and he storms off.................now if they had a big button that said PUSH HERE TO MIX that dude prob woulda looked like he knew what the hell he was doin and we never get him t shut up

"exploiting, gutting and raping an honored skill"? Wow. When I learned to beat match I was happy to have nailed it, but I didn't realise I'd been anointed into a secret brotherhood.

This sounds like the same nonsense people threw around when digital vinyl systems first appeared. Apparently that also was an attempt to kill vinyl and kill DJ culture.

Some people have generously (and accurately, IMHO) pointed out that Serato has demonstrated a genuine respect for DJs, DJing and DJ culture despite that fact that many people decried DVS's as the end of the line for "real DJs". So why do you assume that we won't be able to continue to show that same respect AND introduce auto-sync into our products?

[This is probably a good time to re-state that I have NO IDEA whether or not auto-sync is the road map]

Auto sync hasn't selected the right track for the crowd, decided the right point to drop the track in at, adjusted the EQ properly or faded the old track out at the right time.

Pressing auto sync doesn't make anyone a DJ. Any idiot can auto sync tracks. But there's so much more to it than that - and that's the bigger craft and skill that separates the button pressing auto jocks from the successful respected ones.

In most markets track selection ISNT difficult, most of the clubs in those markets are top 40 markets and the sheep that attend want to hear the song they heard on the radio 4 times on the way to the club 4 more times before they leave and hear it 4 more on the way home, sprinkle in the last group of songs that had the same treatment and you have a night the crowd enjoyed......any fool with a radio and a cable connection can tell what these songs are cause their EVERYWHERE, and if its a hood spot the hood tracks arent hard to figure out either, also most DJs on here have made it clear they dont mess with EQs(apparently thats only for EDM djs lol) and come on how long would it take to tell someone move the fader to the side its not on after the chorus.....all the things you listed would take about 10 minutes to explain to someone, the entry barrier that keeps the riff raff in their place is beat matching, its the 1st thing you learn and (besides scratching )untl you practice and get your head around the concept its the most difficult which is why people who arent really into it dont make it in the door

I see a lot of people complaining about what autosync will do to DJing. If the DJ scene is so lacking in new ideas that everyone is scared a computer is going to replace them, then that's not really a good point for the supposed scene, it seems to me your basically saying the scene is stale and dead already, but you'd prefer no-one realised your job is so easy, a computer could be programmed to do it.

lol that dj last night was AWSOME did you hear how well everything was EQed, seriously though all the wannabee superstar\or club door guy who wants a $5 dollar raise is go to limewire type in funky mix download all drop the 1st beat on the begining of the chorus fade out when the chorus is over (im assuming hes not going to pony up the money for a real pool with intro and outro mixes avaliable) so right there in the minute it took me to type that it eliminated 2 of the difficult jobs your left with so your just left with EQing......and further on track selection im fairly sure most nonDJs would acutually show up alot of real DJs in this area since most real djs despise any form of popular music to begin with

ok theres the disconnect, your looking at it as new guys who want to get into it and have a passion for music get to have this new tool.........im lookin at it from the perspective that the market is about to be full of DJs who dont give 2 fucks about the music or getting better or being creative ...they just want to be in the spotlight in the club, guys who want to be a "dj" just to get laid...or guys who are just picked by owners cause theyll do it for damn near free.......the last thing i want to see is some guy who hasbeen djing a week with a craigslist HD playing 56KPS tracks and repeating all the sheep shit all night so the girls will swoon over him

also assholes like this www.scratchlive.net the ive been djing for a week and im the best there ever was cause i get gigs cause i dont charge guys

So boiling this down, you just said that, for the most part:

• Track selection requires no skill
• DJs don't EQ
• Mixing is a piss easy skill that involves simply moving a fader after the chorus
• The intricacies of DJing can be taught over a coffee
• Beatmatching, regardless of all of the above is the very pinnacle of DJing skill - even it can be automated incredibly easily, unlike all others I listed.

Forgive me, but you sound utterly jaded with DJing if this is how you feel. If your passion has turned into this, it's time to find something else to do.

track selection dosent require much skill, every single club i go into now i hear the same tracks being played their interchangable, lets see if i play tic toc is the dancefloor going to flood YES if i play cupid shuffle is the dance floor gonna flood YES around here if you play Boom Boom Pow or anything buy pitbul is the dancefloor gonna pack YES , and as far as EQing most clubs arent on superb sound systems to begin with but i want to know how many hiphop-top 40 DJs here EQ anything besides trading the bass. Im not saying Beatmatching is the end all be all but it sound be the bassic function of the DJ and it is the longest to master. My passion for the art is as high as its ever been and thats why im so adament about it, im seeing more and more clubs in my area hiring door guys and reletaves and paying them jack to match up the lines on serato and the sad thing is their having to keep going back to real DJs and rotating the bouncers because they cant do it, if you give them a button to do this i dont see anything stopping all the clubs from following suit,

Beatmixing in this quantised 4 to the floor age requires nowhere near as much skill as it used to. This is what auto sync would essentially do - match BPMs and attempt to match the highs and lows to lock the beats. Big bloody deal - to be honest, it's a skill you can crack in a matter of days anyway.


But you're not being honest, you're being naive for trying to simply it this way.
I guess you're referring to all this extended intros that make mixing so much
easier nowadays. But, if it really is that easy, then why do people trainwreck
even after trying to learn for months or being on the decks practicing for months? lol

So, it must be a skill then. Just like any other skill, it takes time and practice to master it.

matching beats gives us soemthing to do, makes us look busy haha(i know thats lame) thats why the guys that mastered the matching beats... are bored and get in and out of songs so quick... but the non the less.. its a skille like scratching, some liek q bert, vice, am, jazzy... do it really well... i think AM would roll over in his grave... if auto sync was intro'd to SSL(god bless his soul)

Serato employees, I know you're number one priority is to make money, as with all businesses. But seriously, there's a fine line between that and exploiting, gutting, and raping an honored skill such as beatmixing in order to sell your product.

"exploiting, gutting and raping an honored skill"? Wow. When I learned to beat match I was happy to have nailed it, but I didn't realise I'd been anointed into a secret brotherhood.

This sounds like the same nonsense people threw around when digital vinyl systems first appeared. Apparently that also was an attempt to kill vinyl and kill DJ culture.

Some people have generously (and accurately, IMHO) pointed out that Serato has demonstrated a genuine respect for DJs, DJing and DJ culture despite that fact that many people decried DVS's as the end of the line for "real DJs". So why do you assume that we won't be able to continue to show that same respect AND introduce auto-sync into our products?

[This is probably a good time to re-state that I have NO IDEA whether or not auto-sync is the road map]


I have nothing to do with the people who argued that DVS was the end of the line for real DJs because I never felt that way about a program that quite frankly gave a DJ merely a new choice in medium in which we can choose from and adding MP3 to the list that includes vinyl and CDs.

Auto-sync is not on the road map for SSL, but if it does appear on there, then might as well through throw auto-mix on there while you're at it, and hey, even throw in auto-song selection. Perhaps develop an algorithm that will select a song for you based on the song selections derived from SSL 2.0's public playlist feature. The possibilities are endless, aren't they.

Funnily enough VDJ has all the features you just said,

Song recommendations that it pulls off other DJs playlists (and lets you stream them live off the internet, really shows how much they're about quality music) and it does have automix and autosync.
Why do VDJ users even bother showing up?

The more I read this the more I realize this is more of a Style of djing against another, NOT realy about auto sync... You have the hip hoppers that don't EQ, the top 40 guys that do nothing and the EDM DJ's that only have 1 beat to match..... To each there own and to each there own tools to do it.......

Mixing isn't everything. I've heard amazing ableton sets that have blownmy mind by djs who I know for a fact can mix. It's important to me though. I really love mixing, taking it away would ruin things for me. I think that the way a dj rides a mix is unique and like a drummers swing. It's subtle and important regardless of whether or not most people can pick up on it. That being said go ahead and add it. Though why use turntables then?

You're absolutely right - DVS's were first and foremost a shift from medium to another. Like you, I fail to see how that could've possibly meant the end of DJing as we know it.

But that's not the point I was trying to make.

My point is that some people have an almost automatic reaction to certain technological or cultural shifts and see it as a threat to something that's important to them. They manage to convince themselves of something that other people hadn't even considered.

ChrisD, what I'd like to know is WHEN DOES THIS STOP? For fear of falling behind with the competition, Serato has added tons of features that many don't even use (album art, live feed, etc.) and that have pretty much have caused a decline in the reliability of the SSL itself. Look at how many crashes have occurred as the software gets more features.

So, I'd like to know WHEN WILL THIS STOP?

Looks to me, like SSL will have auto-sync as the upgrades keep happening. At what point is the software "complete"?

Very good question sixxx.

Some people always want more. Others are happy with what they have.

Ill say it again::

Do you really think if they are using cracked versions of VDJ that they are going to run out and spend 600 dollars just because serato implemented autosync?

I dont, i think they will still use VDJ because they dont care.

A lot of the reason they are even spinning is because the software was free. When you tell these people that you spent at minimum 600 bucks they look at you like you are nuts. I dont think serato adding a feature will sway them away into spending a nice amount of loot.

Even though the software has made it extremely simple to dj from a technology standpoint. Money is still a huge factor when getting into it. These guys go for the cheapest way, cracked.

As for software being complete, its never complete. Theres always something you can add, or change, or make better or more stable.

Remember the job of technology isnt to help you. Its to find more efficient ways of doing things.

Sometimes you create a piece of technology and say "OMG think of how much faster and more efficient this is than doing it manually" then when put into production you realize "oh man i just put a lot of people out of work".

Add also the risk of becoming irrelevant. I believe (and this is just my opinion, of course) that, the "need" for "innovate or die" is a dangerous game to follow. Some people may always want more, but you won't ever be able to please everyone. At least I hope you don't, or SSL will also vacuum, clean, and give blowjobs when it's finally "complete". lol

It needs to be remembered that Scratch Live got the widespread acceptance it now has largely on the basis of STABILITY, not features. The whole time SSL's existed, there have been other alternatives with many more features.

Professional products (of all types, not just software) have always prioritized reliability over features, and pro users are well aware of that.

It would be loss of that, not auto-sync, that would have me considering alternatives.

For the record, 1.9.2 has been extremely stable for me.

True, but software like ScratchLive is not like any other software out there. It has hardware - and I don't mean the SL1 or 57. The controllers complete SSL whether it's a turntable or CD player.

I also believe that just like we add more features because we think there's a need, we take them out when we realize we simply failed and they weren't really that necessary. lol

The funny thing is half the time they press that button and it doesn't even work right, it's not dropped on the right beat or it's just totally out anyway but they don't actually know any better and think it's fine because the pictures are lined up.

But you're making the assumption that new features are why there are problems with stability issues. It could be a multitude of things.

Yes, integrity and business are mutually exclusive terms. But thats not the argument.

No one has really given a good reason why autosync should not be implemented.
Integrity is a shitty argument
Stability is a shitty argument for the fact that we are all making assumptions. Serato isn't stable anymore regardless of autosync.

That's no assumption. All you have to do is look at the beta of every version. Look how many problems and bugs it has and how many are fixed throughout the different betas and until the program goes out to final. However, even after final, you cannot guarantee that all issues or bugs are gone.

So, once again, no assumption. It's a fact.

thing is blisk, i TOTALLY agree with you, i agree that from seratos standpoint it is in their best interest to add this feature as im sure a large portion of their market comes from wannabees and neverwillbees, now i agree with that, but i owe it to myself as do we all to work for what we want, and if the best reason for them to put it in is money the reason i want it out is money, opening up the market to the degree that every wannabee has an equal chance raises supply as demand stays constant, more and more people lower prices to compete and the overall rate of money recieved by djs drops

Very True.

Its called technology.

A lot of the steel workers and line workers from the old ford factories had the same argument.

The better argument is that.... technology is making the marginal dj absolete. If you can't cut like revolution or produce like deadmau5 (these are only examples), you better think of something quick to seperate yourself from the 5 year old who will be able to do what you do in about 2 years.

Correct. What I'm saying is that a version is fine. No problems. Then, new features get added WHICH CAUSE PROBLEMS one way or another. It's a fact. Not an assumption.

Then, those bugs get worked out in Betas. But, sadly, not all bugs are caught.

So, in conclusion. Does adding features adds problems with stability. Short answer. Yes.

I don't think auto-sync adds anything to SSL. It actually takes away. It's not called auto-sync live. It's called ScratchLive. Scratch happens with some type of controller. With auto-sync, you don't need a controller... hence, you don't need ScratchLive.

SSL is a program that gives you TOOLS to be a better DJ.. NOT a program to be the DJ for you.
Tools do not do the work on their own.
A craftsman needs to USE those tools.

(auto mix does the work for you therefore it is more of a crutch than a tool)

SSL is a DVS Digital Vinyl System
NOT a Digital DJ System

(you must provide your own DJ)

____________________________
(*TAKEN FROM THE SERATO/SCRATCH LIVE PAGE*)

Scratch Live

The Number One Solution for Professional DJs

(notice it says PROFESSIONAL DJs)
(that means it is primarily (first & foremost) made for a DJ (someone who should know how to and be able to mix and match beats on their own)) and some one who does this for a PROFESSION (aka JOB, CAREER... not hobby))
It does NOT say on the SCRATCH LIVE page
(The Number One Solution for Hobbyist who want software to DJ for them))

(FROM THE SERATO/SCRATCH LIVE PAGE* continued)

WHAT IS SCRATH LIVE?
It is the only digital DJ system that stays true to the art of DJing with no auto sync or effects by design.
The DJ is in control of the mix at all times, not the computer.

-from Serato.com/scratchlive
_______________________________
Judging from the description of what Scratch Live IS from SERATOs very own web site , I don't think a lot of the people posting here actually even realize what Scratch Live really is.

Let's be clear... (in SERATOs own words non the less)

It is the only digital DJ system that stays TRUE to the art of DJing
The DJ is in control of the mix at all times, not the computer.
The DJ is in control of the mix at all times, not the computer.
The DJ is in control of the mix at all times, not the computer.

If you would spend half as much time practicing as you do complaining about wanting a button to do the work for you, you probably wouldn't have a need for such silly things.

Serato was a new tool to us DJ's back then, I used it to my advantage even though I didn't have to. Auto Sync will be just that. A TOOL that when used properly it can do plenty of good, but when used poorly, it will, yes I'm gonna say it, affect many. However, I don't have to use it even.

this can be said about DVS in general,its a tool and its allowed talented DJs to really do amazing things but its also given talentless djs a step up.....as a whole i dont think the contributions of the few really talented DJs average out well with the decline in talent as a whole

thebuttonfreak 2:34 AM - 4 March, 2010
and autosync djs tend to overcompensate with a heavy looping/effects hand. It's like when the pioneer mixer with the effects came out. Not every track you play need a 3 minute effect build up.

Loop rolls are a software feature that can be used skillfully and creatively, or they can be overused or misused and sound like rubbish.

Much like auto-sync I suspect (don't know for sure - never seen it in action to the best of my knowledge).

can you do a loop rool with regular vinyl and turntables?
No, you can't.... therefore, loop rool is a tool (for good or bad) but NOT a substitute for learning your craft... people were beat matching and MIXING long before DVS

i personally like that i earned my skills mixing,just make it a plugin let the noobs have fun, everyone here who has earned their skills wont use it, as far as the serato team goes, think about it if you put auto mix then u might as well put an internal mixer and kiss ur hardware sales goodbye, sell the software and loose thousands of loyal customers and gain thousands of fake ass "DJ's"


i want to use my crossfader, eqs, and faders!!!! so even if it is added i wont use it ever

ChrisD, what I'd like to know is WHEN DOES THIS STOP? For fear of falling behind with the competition, Serato has added tons of features that many don't even use (album art, live feed, etc.) and that have pretty much have caused a decline in the reliability of the SSL itself. Look at how many crashes have occurred as the software gets more features.

So, I'd like to know WHEN WILL THIS STOP?

Looks to me, like SSL will have auto-sync as the upgrades keep happening. At what point is the software "complete"?


Stability isn't the only factor that I see affected with these 'upgrades'. I've noticed a significant increase in resource usage with 2.0. It works decent on my newer macbook pro but bogs down my older macbook considerably.
Zero Day 4:43 AM - 4 March, 2010
No auto sync.
do you know how many fakes will call them selfs dj's if there is an auto sync.
there are already enough programs and fetures to basicly mix and tell you whats going on visually. if auto sync everyone will hit a bunnon and have a perfect mix. and all the effort and time and shit us REAL DJ"S have gone through and done will be worth nothing.
so fuck that. no auto sync. i sware i will not use serato no more of they do that.
thebuttonfreak 4:46 AM - 4 March, 2010
There should be a test that unlocks the autosync feature. You have to mix clean on your own for an hour straight and then it unlocks.

Vive le difference.


I agree that the djs credibility is reduced. Already with laptops and ssl, people come up to me and talk about how djs use laptops, that they dont actually do anything and the laptop does everything. With auto-sync, this is only gonna be worse. I know with waveforms, its heaps heaps easier than with normal vinyl, but i think that should be limit.

SSL was built with integrity in mind.... it was never trying to be a program that does the work for you but rather HELP you do the work.
I really don't think auto mix is ever something to worry about here... it goes against what they set out to create.
If they ever wanted to do something like that, I think it would be a diff product... maybe Scratch Fake or Scratch Dead haha but I can't see it happening in Scratch Live.

right... If it ever did happen, it would just be something I wouldn't ever use. I would still use SSL but it would be disappointing... I would feel a little let down. Knowing that they initially took a stand and were proud that they were a product for real DJs and not a crutch program... it would make me a little sad to see them drop that integrity and the morals and values the program was built on ya know... they stand for something and I think that helps with customer loyalty.

EXACTLY... if being a DJ is something you want to do, LEARN YOUR CRAFT... if you don't care enough to learn the basic building blocks of what it is to be a DJ, you are not serious enough and have no business doing it.
I was interested in Photoshop so I bought books and studied tutorials and read some more and studied and practiced and now I know it. I did NOT go to the Photoshop forum and cry to them to add auto-fix-it-for-me... I learned how to do it because I wanted to be able to work Photoshop. If you are too lazy to learn something, you don't deserve to be able to do it.

Thread's too long to read the whole thing...but I got a little story...it's called, I don't give a fuck about autosync:

Once upon a time, my roommate and I decided to become DJs. We both bought turntables on the same day. When serato came out, we both got it...but we also got a program called VirtualDJ with a little plastic Hercules controller. I practiced on vinyl every day, and wouldn't take a club gig even though a few were offered to me until I felt like I was absolutely ready to go out and kill it. My roommate barely practiced, and played with his hercules virtualdj console at a few local bars.

Fastforward a few years...I'm rockin' serato...my virtualdj had long since been deleted from my computer...and my roommate DJ'd on virtual DJ. I would book major club gigs, and he would only book little bars. He would get fired from bar after bar.

One day, he knew this dude opening a club called Bank Heist in North Hollywood...the dude wanted someone to not only DJ, but be "music director" so they brought me on since I could handle the managerial stuff as well as DJ. 3 months in, they fired him and kept me, even though he was the one who was friends with the owner...because he's a shitty DJ. He got fired from 5 or 6 different places...but still swore that we had equal DJ skills, and still used his little hercules plastic controller.

One day, for his birthday, I DJ'd at his spot so he could party. One of his buddies was there...a promoter who did fridays at Tatou...a 1500+ person capacity club in downtown LA. He immediately booked me to DJ there, and has been booking me every few months for years...but he never booked my roommate, even though they were friends.

One day, I brought my roommate to my Vegas gig, and I was playing Wet Republic and Tabu...with DJ Scotty Boy. We let my roommate hop on the "decks" (he just plugged in his virtualdj controller to the djm800 at Wet and played for 15 minutes before Scotty told me to get back on.

Last August, he had his shit stolen out of his car, and I tried to tell him to just learn serato since he still owned it and his turntables, but he decided to get Torq instead. After 3 months of torq, he didn't like it, so he got Itch with an NS7. A few months later, his shit got stolen out of his car again, and now he's finally using serato because he can't afford to replace his shit again.

Guess what...after all these years...he still SUCKS at DJing. After all these years, using software that beatmatches for him, his friends book me instead of him because he SUCKS at DJing.

I've never met anyone who uses auto beatmatch software that I'm afraid of them taking my gigs, because they all fucking SUCK at DJing.

If you don't learn the basics (pun intended) you will always SUCK at DJing, nomatter what the software does for you.

LOL! Scratchworx held it DOWN while I was gone! Ha, all this mess over a FEATURE. Why weren't y'all all up in arms over OTHER stuff that "Makes it EASIER TO MIX"?

Like AutoBPM, Keylock, MidiTriggers, Loops, Relative Modes, CDJ's, etc..etc?

Now all of a sudden, "It's Morally Wrong, and Ruining the DJ Culture".

We started down this slippery slope a LONG time ago the minute you hooked a computer up to your turntables.

When will it STOP?

When it's not Profitable anymore. Hell, if I OWNED Serato, I'd like to stay in business.

Scratch Live 2.0 has effects. So that text will have to change soon.

true but I'm sure you will agree that the bigger part of that statement is about being true to the art of DJing and that the DJ is in control of the mix.

Effects is not really part of the art of DJing. They spice up a set but DJing is really more about Mixing, selection, controlling/reading the crowd, scratching etc... those are fundamentals of DJing... using effects was never a fundamental skill for being a DJ.
While we can slightly "mimic" some type of effects to an extent, we cannot REALLY make effects without an effects unit. We CAN however MIX records into each other with out the help of auto-mix (or at least we SHOULD be able to if we call ourself a DJ)

I don't know any Chef that can't cook or Janitor that can't mop... ya feel me.
You can "call" youreslf whatever you want but if you cannot do the things that go along with that title, you are just playing make believe.

For me, I really don't care THAT much, If I don't want it I wont use it and I honestly can't believe I got involved with this silly thread but Serato stood for something with Scratch Live and it would be a little dissapointing (to me) to see them lower their standards when that was such a strong, proud stance for them and the idea they built the Scratch Live name on.

My personal opinion is that as for "credibility as a DJ", 99% of the crowd don't give a fuck what you do and how you do it, as long as you play good tunes and don't mess up the mix. I've seen guys rocking a set on Ableton live, not caring about the beatmixing itself anymore but completely going berserk on live remixing and building/rebuilding songs. Even though it's not "real" mixing, I still consider it a DJ-set if it's THAT good and creative.

As commented before, the discussion about auto-sync is mostly a pissing contest among DJ's, which I actually don't even mind. I like the guy that can put on a fantastic set using auto-sync, but I have more respect for the guy that knows how to do it himself with a couple of records as well. I grew up with the vinyls so I already feel a bit like cheating by using serato.



But the actual reason why I would NOT like to see auto-sync, is because I don't see the point. I mean, if scratchlive would do auto-sync as well, I don't see the point anymore of using ScratchLive. You might as well use Ableton Live for example, it will do the same thing, but only BETTER since it has like infinite tracks, infinte effects, supports midi-instruments and so on. With auto-sync it would be like immitating Ableton, only worse because it does not have all the features and be like this crippled version.

Rather than spending many resources to implement a feature that will end you up with a crippled imitation of something else, I would spend the engineering time on other features that could differentiate Scratchlive even more from the rest.


But that's just my opinion

in my eyes serato is like letting a handicaped person training wheels on his bike to compete in the Tour de France, ya its an advantage and makes it easier for that person to compete but they still gotta work to compete, autosync is like lettting them use a motorcycle to compete

Btw, I don't agree or there wouldn't be any beta versions.

But that's precisely the point of betas: to try and catch bugs.

Surely you don't judge software quality on beta versions??


Correct. But, if there were no bugs added to the software after new features are added, there would be no betas.

My point is that adding ANYTHING to a software adds new code which does mess up old code. There's no point around it. It happens.

That is NOT TRUE. You stil have to calculate WHERE and WHEN to start the "AutoSync" mix.

Isn't that an integral part of DJ'ing?

That basic philosophy of not putting lyrics on lyrics, not starting on the "Off Beat", you know...good old mixing rules?

I was WAITING for someone to say something like this.

Do you know how many "REAL DJ's" were CRYING THE BLUES about Serato having to put effects in their software and hardware?

Again, I didn't CARE, and still think back to a Stickam show I did, where I was manually "phasing" records, and causing stutters, and dude said "Where is the "Effects" button on that Realistic Mixer, I don't see him touching it"...lol.

But the BULK of DJ's on here were SWEATING Serato for some effects, so again, we walk this thin line.

i obviously have, im not sure what your saying here, what i said was that the reason alot of people dont mix well is because its difficult for some people to grasp moving the pitch to make the little wavy lines match up and stay there.....auto-sync automatically lines up the little wavy lines and keeps them there...therefor the 1 thing keeping someone from just walking in and doin it is removed and the only thing left is a 10 second lesson...chorus starts push play, oush button, chorus ends move fader

It was just a matter of time before it got to his point of AutoSync.

If AutoSync has the ability to take you out of the DJ GAME then, it's time to go anyway.

maybe Serato can introduce 'switches' in SSL with regard to features you don't wanna use... and make it completely 'customisable' per user in future.
if u don't need album art, don't download the 'switch'. easy as that. same with auto-sync/mix, effects, deck views, smart crates, sample player etc...

everybody wins!!!! (i think)
DJJOHNNYM_vSL3 6:56 PM - 4 March, 2010
You were trying to ride a fine line saying that Serato always stuck to "CORE" DJ skills, when IN FACT SERATO IN ITSELF goes against the "CORE" DJ, simply because it gives you an INTERFACE that allows you to "Mix Easier", via BPMS, Waveforms, Loops, having access to Instant Doubles, etc..etc.

Now, if we REALLY want to keep it real, there it is.
DJJOHNNYM_vSL3 6:58 PM - 4 March, 2010
The point is that THE MAJORITY of DJ's have accepted it, and gave a "Blind Eye" to those "Features" that we thought would make it seem like we were cheating.

We slowly implemented it into our routine, once those "Features" became accepted by the DJ Mainstream.

It's called ebracing Technology.

Some DJ's would say he's CHEATING because he uses a "computer" and multitrack software to create his mixes.

The question is this...

Would you BATTLE HIM one on one?

Most likely NO, because Dude HAS skills regardless...

So, does the fact that he utilizes a MULTITRACK and Software to it's fullest potential make him any less of a DJ?

Him multi tracking is ok.... he is NOT using a multi track to replace something he can already do LIVE he as DOPE as he is, he cannot scratch 4 or 5 records at the same time.... feel me? He can HOWEVER MIX and MATCH beats... he does not use features to replace actual skills.... he uses them to do things that are NOT possible any other way,,,, he cannot clone him self and do a multi recording live... c'mon man... you are gonna have to do better than that if you wanna get at me

It is to help you be more creative not replace your skills, do the work for you and make you more complacent


Ok, so...we're AT LEAST on the same page that it won't derail all that...

You're saying "It's not necessary"...

How many OTHER FEATURES are in Scratch Live that you DON'T think are necessary?

Relative Mode?

Cue Points?

Instant Doubles?

History?

Effects?

You see what I'm saying here?

ALL of those features above, in some sort of way "Make it Easier" for you to DJ.

Remember when you had DOUBLES of records, and ONE got scratched, and you'd have to remember WHICH record had the scratch, and to skip over that part?

Dude, you don't EVER have to do that anymore....

Remember when that shaky floor would make your hair stand on end, because you KNEW your shit would skip?

Dude, you don't EVER have to worry about that anymore...

You see what I'm saying?

THAT'S MASSIVE CHEATING RIGHT THERE! Not some "AutoSync" button that according to M-Bezzle, you still need SOME type of skill

Ok, so fine, are you saying that AUTOSYNC will DIRECTLY kill the DJ Culture?

DJ's that have been in it for YEARS are going to crumble because AutoSync will eventually get them played out of the game?

OK, OK, OK... Johnny, Was Scratch Live created with the idea that it was not meant to do the mixing for you?
Yes or No

(and just so you don't get it wrong, the below was taken from the Serato site itself about what Scratch Live IS

Quote:
What is Scratch Live?

...It is the only digital DJ system that stays true to the art of DJing with no auto sync The DJ is in control of the mix at all times, not the computer.


so..... Yes or NO?

Does adding auto-mix go against that stance?
Yes OR No?

Keep in mind this thread is about AUTO-MIX... NOT effects, NOT Spinbad multi tracking, NOT lugging crates, NOT using laptops, NOT vinyl or cd's, NOT 500 other features... BUT it IS about AUTO-MIX

SO.... answer the questions this time.

If AutoSync has the ability to take you out of the DJ GAME then, it's time to go anyway.


I don't think a lot of people are saying that autosync or auto-mix will take them out of the game. It will simply add to the game more of those people who THINK they're DJ's just because they can play music. Notice I didn't say mix music. I said, play music.

and I don't care if it gets added or not because I won't be using it just like other features in Serato I don't ever touch.

I don't think auto-sync adds anything to SSL. It actually takes away. It's not called auto-sync live. It's called ScratchLive. Scratch happens with some type of controller. With auto-sync, you don't need a controller... hence, you don't need ScratchLive.

Like I said, you pulled THAT out of the hat...

So, basically, IF SERATO DID come out with AutoSync, it would go against what they PUBLISHED that they wouldn't do....

Now, dude (The Mods) DID SAY he didn't know if Serato WAS thinking about implementing it, so there's no confirmation on THAT PART.

But I'm hard pressed to believe a bunch of DJ's would try and substantiate Serato NOT putting AutoSync in JUST BECAUSE of that statement...

Like did they ACTUALLY BUY Serato "because" of that statement?

I still stand behind the belief that if you believe AutoSync (if offered by Serato) is gonna weaken or Kill the DJ Culture, or hell, just YOU individual chances of securing and keeping a gig vs. a kid that HAS it....

You have to get your Hustle up.

Lot's of other software already have the capability, and it hasn't impacted the DJ game one bit.

The GENERAL availability of DVS has, not 1 feature.

You say "A much harder way", when in fact it is a MORE SOLID WAY, so they can be prepared for ANY situation that may arise.

How many of you know DJ's that can ONLY use Control Vinyl, and not REAL Vinyl?

and also there are a few DJs who have talent, ive seen it and i respect it, but they never seem to use it, mabye i just hold the bar high but im never impressd with their sets when they play out, all the sets are paint by number, the DJs im callin out as wack arent my boys their just jopkers who were in the right place at the right time, people who were GIVEN technology (as in hired then given the programs) and do it for damn near nothing

true but I'm sure you will agree that the bigger part of that statement is about being true to the art of DJing and that the DJ is in control of the mix.

I agree entirely. I promise you that there's no been no abrupt cultural shift here at Serato where we cease to give a shit about DJs, DJing and DJ culture. Scratch Live is a hugely important product for us and we're well aware of how it's managed to succeed where others have failed.

For all I know auto-sync will never find it's way into Scratch Live, but I would also say that expecting us to forever remain true to a statement that's already a few years old is certain to result in disappointment at some stage in the future.

yes i agree, your statment said "I would also say that expecting us to forever remain true to a statement that's already a few years old is certain to result in disappointment at some stage in the future", i dont see how you can run into any dissappointments adding and innovating features that add to a set, or create a new type of perfomance withouth compomising the djs integrity.........add as much as you want create new things move forward but keep it as a too the DJ needs to use to apply skill to to create

a good chef (classic dj) can take bare ingrediants prepare them put them together and make a pizza.......a less talented chef (serato dj) can buy a box kit or the crust and add some ingrediants to it but thir not making it from scratch, it may turn out better than the 1st but it may not and alot of them are going to taste the same....anyone regardelss of talent (wavy\autoDJ) can buy a Digorno read the instructions throw it in the microwave and have a pizza done real wquick with no work, some people will add ingredients and tast a bit different but for the most pars all their pizzas will taste the same

So that DJ in the crowd can snicker amongst his DJ buddies that dude is using some "AutoFeature".....

btw, my opinion is that if such a feature is implemented, I just wouldn't use it. Just like how I don't use the sampler, the needle drop cueing, the album art, the live feed, the horizontal waveform, etc. Use the features that you need to, don't use the ones that you don't need to. No noob DJ is going to steal your gig just because they bought Serato with Auto-Sync or whatever it's called. No sane, reasonable Serato Scratch Live user is going to sell their interface just because Auto-Sync was added, that's just ridiculous.

This thread is such a silly debate. Why worry so much about one little feature that may or may not even happen?

I've noticed similar things. When its quiet at my club I put my iPod on and go sit at the bar or in the office with the manager. People are perfectly happy to listen to the obscure rap thats on my iPod but as soon as they see someone standing by the decks with some headphones on they suddenly feel the need to talk.

They say theorietically, we could teleport a human, or a solid object... but theres no way to "repair" the object at its no location.

Translation: everything teleported dies.

Made me think... if they teleport a human, does he show up in the new location as a pile of flesh,bones, and blood... Or would it be like dust? At 3:17 PM 17 December 2007

There has to be vulgarity otherwise "eloquent speech" would not exist.

The word "fuck" has a rich history worth looking into--goes back centuries originating in Brittania.

In American vernacular words that used to be veru offensive are becoming more acceptable. Bitch readily comes to mind. I have heard it on prime time, in my Mama's day that was a big deal.

The N-Word I think has supplanted "fuck" as the most offensive word in American English. There are levels to this. A black dude can rap and say it with an "ah" suffix, but if you're a cracker like me saying it with an "er" will get you in a fight pretty quick (and rightfully so!)

But what about us white Hip Hop heads? os "ah" acceptable? I never use it. But compared to uttering fuck, I think you cause a much bigger controversy. At 11:57 PM 13 July 2008

quotereportlinkWigger.

We all know what it means, but is it PC?

I love Lady Sovereign and she has a song called "I'm a wigga."

I'm stumped here. I live in South Philly which is a weeeeeird place. Most of the poorer white kids fit the "wigga mold," but they are also very racist. I go into these hick bars and they play R&B/Crunk music, yet they somehow hate blacks in a way I could not possibly understand.

I wouldn't ever say the "n-Word," but if I call someone a wigger most people would know the exact type of person I am referring to! What is up with that?

I think a lot of surburbans raised on MTV identify with a culture not related to them and affect all the worst stereotypical aspects of that culture, so if I were to say "wigga" y'all would know what I mean.

But I am a white dude and the term has mad racist connotations. So is Wigga as a word PC????? If not, what do I call these muthafuckas? At 12:05 AM 14 July 2008

You think so? I find it pretty easy to mix. The tune that used to throw me off was Doin It by LL Cool J. I'd brought the record for a gig and it was one of my first major college gigs and I was playing that tune. The off beat snare and room echo plus room delay had me fucked up. I was lost lol.

As for the Foxy Brown tune I'm going to check when I get in but I'd assume it was Trackmasters as they did most of the album from memory. At 10:31 AM 21 November 2008

For all the people laughing at people saying they would sell their SL1/3's if Serato added this feature...at first i was with you but then it dawned on me.

Why would anybody keep their Serato anymore? If the sole reason for Serato to add it was to get with the times regardless of what the current demographic thinks, why would Serato users stay if Traktor years ahead in features anyway?


Wow, you added autosync? Thanks but they've already had it, and they had this, and they have this, and this is coming out. if that's the name of the game than fuck it, I'll go to the other guy then. If we're all supposed to "get with the times" as you're all saying, why am I going to stick with the guy who is now and seemingly always well behind the pack?

i chose Serato for a reason, as did many others. These reasons were contrary to that get with the times nonsense. But if Serato's (hypothtically speaking) reasoning can change so can mine,

I am not disputing that auto sync hinders your ability to learn to beat match. That's why I don't use it. I realized this especially 2 years ago when I was at a house party and I subbed for a friend who was using denon 3500's with no dvs sytem. I jumped on the decks, and even though I was better than the owner of the equipment, I still sucked because I didn't have the bpm info to rely on.

But I unlike you guys I still don't see the death to the dj culture if auto sync is added.

preface.
Im die hard against it.
I look at SSL as the one "pure'ist" of the DVS's
(not that its the best or worse...diffferent argument)


this is how old I am.
I remember when my buddy got one of the dual CD players.
the SAME arguments happend... almost identical.
"every moron with a cd collection can DJ now"
so many parallels.

and it was true, there was a HUUUUUUGE influx of new djs.
cd remix services... (this is pre-cd burning technology)
but over time... it leveled out... no where near as "rare" as it used to
be to be a DJ... and of course with every year that passes new ones come.
old ones leave...
I can remember in High School I was 1 of 2 DJs pretty much in 5 towns
now Im not 1 of 2 djs within 5 feet.

so, reguardless of what they decide to do (we already know ableton has a "simular feature....hmmmmmmmmmmm) there will be an influx of existing djs who have been using have been b-squad'ing it with other programs... will now be able to wave the
SSL flag like a true professional.









no thx. but prepare for the worst

Evon 1:16 PM - 6 March, 2010
Feature wise I would chosen Traktor any day over serato. If I wan't Autosync I would also chosen Traktor. I choose Serato because I wanted to DJ, not to be a Jukebox.
Adding autosync now would be like shitting in your own bed. Maybe in the future Autosync would be in CDJ and equip around clubs as standard but not yet... Because the market simply doesn't demand it.

I see that it is hard to stop technology that is already there...
BUT maybe in the future DJing will be totally different. Producing and Djing on the fly. With the Ableton/Serato Bridge is certainly a step closer. This would almost be impossible without autosync features, Maybe then the market is ready for such feature..

ninjaty 1:27 AM - 7 March, 2010
The way loop roll and loops in general snap to the beat works great on some songs but its terribly inaccurate on others. Not a problem for loops as you can manually set them, on the fly if your good. Effects need this same sort of manual capabilities, which by looking at the rest of the programs that give you this, the best way seems to be beat grids, warp markers, whatever the fuck you want to call them. Reference points that keep the BPM of the effects processor spot on to the BPM of the song. Probably not necessary to a hip-hop dj using the echo to make a quick transition but if you really want to "ride" the effects then I feel something like this is necessary. It all depends on how SSL wants their effects to evolve and be used, like an instrument or like a toy.

Call me dumb if you want Henry and yes they could put that work into building a "grid" without adding a button to sync it but that would be purposely trying to limit their product.

I dont understand why you guys are so threatened by this. Beat matching really isnt all that hard and personally I dont think it has much to do with how good a dj you are unless you are comparing noobs. I probably would not use autosync much if at all but i think they should add it.

Fact of the matter is, to a lot of people ALL of us DVS/computer djs are cheaters.

If we had allowed people with this mentality to control the world we would have never had SSL to begin with.

Pros will figure out how to be better than autosync noobs or they'll get passed up. Those noobs are going to learn things in a totally different way and when they become pros they'll think of shit we never could have. It's called life. Do what you feel and do it excellently and you'll get by. But be aware that djing is changing for good right now, it moving towards controllerism so it's probably best to start exploring these newer tools. Of which autosync is one.

and now for the obligatory "I would never use auto sync" comment. I don't like autosync, I like mixing with my ears and try very hard to ignore the visual aspect of SSL, though I do succumb to it fairly often.
dj_KaSE 8:55 PM - 7 March, 2010
For the record, I don't feel threatened.

I do feel disgusted and insulted by so-called DJs who fool themselves into thinking that automated processes (brought to you, or soon to be brought by companies like Serato) such as auto-sync, auto-mix, auto-whatever makes them a DJ. Seriously, if some numb nuts stands behind some DJ equipment, presses a button that automates a process that he should otherwise be capable of learning to do himself, watches the crowd go wild because of the mixing or scratching that his little button did for him, pretends like he did it all himself, and then finally pats on himself for that, then he needs to be put in his place.

So yeah... fuck a poser.

I doubt this. There are a few exceptions BUT if you're already lazy enough to not learn something the old way, you're not going to try and learn it the old way.

For instance, look at all the newbies that started with waves (pre-DVS). 99% of them WILL NOT go back to try and learn without them and probably can't mix without them.

how is it that everyone here was a poser at one time?

I had people trying to get me to do parties, tapes etc... when I started and I refused untill I learned my craft and felt I was ready to perform in public... I practice at home not at the club!

You're absolutely correct. Same here. There are a lot of posers who will try and get a club gig two weeks after getting SSL or another DVS.

I think a lot of seasoned DJ's also practice stuff at the club when they're short on time... but I was talking about those who will get a DVS system and try to dj clubs or events even though they've never DJ'ed before.

A lot of comments on here focus on the negative aspects e.g. syncing which is regarded as cheating. The modern Dj is evolving and new computer softwares such as traktor and Abelton open many doors for Djs, THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER ASPECTS TO DJING THAN BEATMATCHING. for me a good dj is someone who can capture a crowd and take total control of their emotions and feelings ;)

Quote:


Vinyl purists thought CDJs were cheating, both thought DVS systems was cheating, DVS djs thought ableton and the like are cheating, and so on. If we had allowed people with this mentality to control the world we would have never had SSL to begin with.


That Quote is SO TRUE.

Fact of the matter is, If you are a Good DJ, you don't need to worry about a noob taking jobs away ;)... I truly believe Pro Djs are not even worry about this auto sync crisis..

In theory, this is all good... but when you have a half ass dj come in and undercut you by telling the owner/promoter he will spin for $50 and an open bar tab, a lot of time the time, it doesn't matter how good a DJ you are.... and features like auto-sync make even easier for someone who is not a real DJ to come in and be able to fake it a bit better and make it harder for a REAL DJ to get work... it is not always about you being a PRO DJ... and THAT is the problem with features that help people fake it and not have to really LEARN. If you as a so called REAL or PRO DJ advocate for this type of shit, you are hurting yourself, your worth and your craft... if you are a REAL DJ, you should not want "features" that help people FAKE the funk and not have to actually spend time and dedicate them selfs as you have had to to be able to do such a integral part of what you do as a REAL DJ.

See, I was TRYING to give you a pass earlier in the thread, but y'all don't know when to take the battle, and scoot, knowing DAMN WELL we will win the war.

First off, AutoSync isn't hurting the "DJ Craft" anymore than Waveforms, AutoBPMS, MIDI, Pitch Lock, Relative Modes, Skipless Records, Cue Points, or any other "Electronic Cheats" that "Help Make Mixing Easier".

So y'all don't see ALL THOSE FEATURES?

So you "Experienced" DJ's can use all those bells and whistles, and some newbie can't use 1 single feature because you think he will outrank you (and "OutPromote" you), and get a gig, being able to hold it down with AutoSync?

Do you know how RIDICULOUS and SCARED you all sound?

Like I've said...

VDJ has it, and EVERYBODY has a cracked version of VDJ, so...EVEN YOU.

So, why hasn't a program that EVERY DJ HAS, which ALREADY HAS Autosync, already knocked you out the box?

Is it because you think Serato will create the END ALL OF ALL AutoSyncs?

Stop being scared of a feature.

Technology BY ITSELF will eventually weed you out of the game, it won't be a n00b.

I think this thread needs a summary - an argument for and an argument against. Right now, we have 2 polar opposite camps beating to the auto sync Piñata to death like it's groundhog day, with a few don't cares thrown in for good measure.

Do you know how crazy it is to scream yes or no back and forth like it's going to make any difference? Like everyone else, I've thought it through and come to a decision based on my knowledge and experience. Screaming no at me won't change my mind one bit.

And with that said, when are you posting up a review of the Pioneer HDJ-2000 headphones? I saw you post a pic on some other forum showing an actual broken pair. I was disappointed to see that a metal pair of headphones could snap like that.

Stress-test the shit out of them if you do get around to making a review. Thanks.

Temporarily threadjacking here - I'm just waiting for a set of Sonys to come in and then I can make a start on the über can group test. I'll have 12 pairs in the test, all getting the usual stringent skratchworx testing regime. However, testing them to breaking point isn't on the cards. Being left with a bill for well over £1K's worth of broken headphones isn't exactly good for business. They all have to go back.

good argument - but pilots still need to log many hundreds of hours and pass flight school exams.

I guess with DJing, the passenger's (dancer's) lives aren't in our hands though
DJJOHNNYM_vSL3 2:57 AM - 10 March, 2010
But again, Pilots are ALWAYS getting caught out there doing stuff they aren't supposed to be doing....so the many hundreds of hours and passing flight school exams, won't insure that your pilot won't be tryin' to get his freak on in the cockpit with the stewardesses....

The DJ is the PILOT of your Party.

Like a Pilot, he takes you on a JOURNEY.

He can either "Crash" (read Trainwreck), or bring you in safely for a landing...

If you want to push it, you're basically saying what I'VE BEEN SAYING, and that DJ's should be licensed....

Anyone with a manual could out perform an automatic gearbox, but probably not the new semi autos, which handles the clutch for you in milliseconds. Drivers use this advantage to spend their time on other things.

No one mourns the loss of the clutch when perfomance isn't compromised.

Liked this bit from the wikipedia article about how semi automatics were accepted into formula one racing, sounds a little familiar.

Quote:
After concerns that the technology allowed software engineers to pre-program the cars to automatically change to the optimum gear according to the position on the track, without any driver intervention, a standardized software system was mandated, ensuring the gears would only change up or down when instructed to by the driver. Buttons on the steering wheel, which go directly to a certain gear, rather than sequentially, are still permitted.

sixxx 2:53 PM - 10 March, 2010
Let me put it to you this way. Do you think anyone would call themselves a pilot because they can engage the autopilot? The problem I see with autosync is that many people believe they can call themselves a DJ just because they can activate autosync.

Like I said before, I don't like autosync and I won't use it but I don't care if it gets implemented or not because it won't affect me. I think it will just "cheapen" the software.

At that point, I probably won't think of SSL as a professional software.

That's like having a racing bicycle with training wheels and calling it "a professional racing bicycle".

After concerns that the technology allowed software engineers to pre-program the cars to automatically change to the optimum gear according to the position on the track, without any driver intervention, a standardized software system was mandated, ensuring the gears would only change up or down when instructed to by the driver. Buttons on the steering wheel, which go directly to a certain gear, rather than sequentially, are still permitted.


in the pro race circut comparisson, the fully automatic that isnt allowed is auto-sync, the semi-auto is the waveforms

1. Power losses. Because the torque converter on them is a fluid coupling, rather than a mechanical link like a clutch, it will sap some power out of the engine - less power will get to the gearbox than the engine is actually producing. Some autos have locking torque converters - if you had a way to force it to lock whenever you wanted, then that would overcome part of that problem.

2. Gears. Usually automatic transmissions have less gears than a manual. While the standard for manuals for many years has been five gears, relatively few autos had more than three or four. Only recently have a few cars come out with five or six speed autos.

3. Shift lag. Most autos take a second or two to shift gears - much longer than a quick shift of a manual. This would cost time, acceleration and overall speed.

4. Power control. With a manual and a clutch, you can control the power going to the wheels. If you need to, you can let the clutch slip a little, or even dump the clutch (while moving or stationary) to break the driving wheels loose. Automatics tend to absorb a lot of this stuff - they take all the control away.

5. Cost. By the time you pay for all the parts and labour it would take to build an auto transmission up to racing spec, you'd be just as well off buying a decent racing manual gearbox.


/end of automatic transmission and racing.

Sorry, but no. Semi auto is autosync, it allows you to achieve what you want quicker than is possible manualy, and a lot less effort.

Manual is now, auto is like having a belt drive TT, it works, but it's not as good and it lags.

Like I said before, I don't like autosync and I won't use it but I don't care if it gets implemented or not because it won't affect me. I think it will just "cheapen" the software.

At that point, I probably won't think of SSL as a professional software.


So if ssl implements autosync and tracktor and vdj drops autosync from their software, those to two products become professional software and ssl becomes a software for _______! Hmmmm, so a single feature determines if a software is professional or not?

Another good comparison would be bowling, you ever been in a bowling alley and seen the lil tubes they put in the gutter to make sure little kids never throw gutter balls, no imagine that the pro league changed the rules so that you could use those in pro tournaments.....you didnt HAVE to use them but they were there to use if you wanted to, so basically a REAL pro bowler would not use them and prob throw a strike, but any joe from the crowd could play too, odds are he wouldnt throw a strike but the bumpers would make sure he knocked pins down on every throw

You made the first "if" comment.... "if it gets implemented" - autosync. You danced around my question because you saw how foolish your comment was.

You can't have one without the other. According to you, ssl is no longer professional software if they add
auto sync. So tracktor/vdj becomes professional software if they get rid of autosync?

Let me put it to you this way. Do you think anyone would call themselves a pilot because they can engage the autopilot? The problem I see with autosync is that many people believe they can call themselves a DJ just because they can activate autosync.

That's like having a racing bicycle with training wheels and calling it "a professional racing bicycle".


There's always going to be the argument of what "DUES" you should pay before you become a REAL DJ.

So, y'all are saying some joker who has never practiced a day in his life, can take an Autosync Enabled piece of software, and an iPod/Laptop/Flashdrive, and take your gig?

Have any of you DJ's in Vegas heard of [Named Removed by Admin]? Well anyway here's the story from Saturday.

My Saturday night spot is two floors. Downstairs is more dance and uptempo type music. The top floor where I am is more hip hop and R&B. They usually don't open the top floor till around 11. So im upstairs settin up and im listening the DJ downstairs and I can tell that a different DJ is mixin. This club rotates different DJ's throughout the month and some from out of town. Im diggin the mixing skills and the music selection.

So I get done settin up and roll downstairs jus to grab a drink, check out the crowd and chill for awhile. I ask the owner who's DJin down here tonight. He said [Named Removed by Admin]. He said he's originally from Omaha but lives and DJ's in Vegas now. I guess they fly him out on the regular and take care of him when he's out here. So I was like cool. The booth is up really high so I couldn't tell what he was workin with. I seen he had a Mac Book but not sure what program he was using. If it was Serato and you troll around on the forums here im sorry for throwin your name out there like that homie, but i gotta vent.

I normally try and holler at the new DJ's, and introduce myself real quick but it was getting busy and I had to roll upstairs to start. So throughout the night it's business as usual. I notice the top floor is gettin fuller and fuller. And it's normaly pretty balanced on the bottom and top floor. After awhile I got security, waitresses and people commin up to me sayin the DJ downstairs is terrible and he's screwin up. I was thinkin thats weird because earlier he was soundin decent to me. So I really didn't think about to much I was trying to stay focused. Around last call security told me to wrap it up early because there was a situation downstairs. Im just thinkin it's a scuffle or fight or somethin.

So im jus chillin waitin to get paid and where talkin to the security and officers about what was goin on downstairs. They said the DJ got shitfaced drunk. And they were saying that his equipment was screwin up and cut off like 5 times. Which explains why everybody was commin upstairs to the real party. After awhile the crowd got pissed and were chanting "fuck the DJ". And apparently he got back on the mic and was cussin the crowd out and blamein everything on the sound system. They were sayin his backup music was like some rock Pantera type shit. Also heard he was braggin about how much he makes in Vegas tryin to piss in beer bottles in the booth and shit. Basically just a hot mess. Cops said they almost had to escort him out, but he ended up leavein quick in a cab. And I get a heads up on Sunday that they had a meeting and said they can't serve the DJ's drinks anymore because of this dude. Which isn't a big deal to me anyway. But I do like to have 1 or 2 to get loose. Oh well

Like I said i was upstairs workin the whole time so if this is not true, sorry. Im jus goin by what the owner, cops, staff and like 20 people told me. So what bugs me about this is that this supposedly hot shot DJ gets flown out here. Put up in a fancy hotel. Probably got paid way more than I did and still managed to screw up the night.

and as far as just using CDJs, DVS is JUST starting to pick up here and i was one of the main DJs bringing it around showing it off getting it started, before that all the DJs here used either CDJ1000s or pioneer CMX 3000s, since the clubs dont give a shit they dont upgrade the equipment so what you have is what you have, hell the spot I played at on new years ever only had a 2 cdplayer\mixer combo that you COULDNT use with a dvs since the cdplayes were perminatley connected to the mixer, most of the time dude was just going back and forth off that and winamp....theres alot of shit spots out there that arent gonna splurge on a computer system and DVS and theres alot of old head DJs out there who are used to useing CDJs and dont wanna switch
Dj-M.Bezzle 7:22 PM - 10 March, 2010
ths may blow your mind too, even including DVS users im the ONLY DJ in my area who uses vinyl TTs

Yes. Flight experience. You can't have it without a license or permit
unless your dad owns a plane in which case he could prolly teach
you without having a permit or license which could get him in
trouble.

Either way, I love how you comment on shit you know so little about.

Is autosync going to put a big name NY or LA dj outta busniess NO of course not you fuckers have a thousand venues and a rich culture of talented DJs who have set the bar and the patrons of your fine citys are the kinda people who will go where the talent is and expect more......now for the other 40 or so states (FL has a strong DJ culture mabye a few more states in the upper east) but for the rest of the country its a different story

C''mon son...


dude i dont see how you cant accept those as their the most reasonable examples on this entire thread, you really cant fathom a party taking place without a DVS system and you cant fathom a DJ getting shitfaced on the job...THERE ARE DJS THAT SPIN FOR A DAMN DRINK TAB OUT THERE DO YOU NOT THINK THEIR DRINKING!!!!...

I can posts threads about this


We know...we know...

But as for all that you posted above,...

In today's DJ climate, you can EXPECT the norm to be a DJ using some sort of DVS setup....so your example is slowly drowning....

Have any of you DJ's in Vegas heard of [Named Removed by Admin]? Well anyway here's the story from Saturday.

My Saturday night spot is two floors. Downstairs is more dance and uptempo type music. The top floor where I am is more hip hop and R&B. They usually don't open the top floor till around 11. So im upstairs settin up and im listening the DJ downstairs and I can tell that a different DJ is mixin. This club rotates different DJ's throughout the month and some from out of town. Im diggin the mixing skills and the music selection.

So I get done settin up and roll downstairs jus to grab a drink, check out the crowd and chill for awhile. I ask the owner who's DJin down here tonight. He said [Named Removed by Admin]. He said he's originally from Omaha but lives and DJ's in Vegas now. I guess they fly him out on the regular and take care of him when he's out here. So I was like cool. The booth is up really high so I couldn't tell what he was workin with. I seen he had a Mac Book but not sure what program he was using. If it was Serato and you troll around on the forums here im sorry for throwin your name out there like that homie, but i gotta vent.

I normally try and holler at the new DJ's, and introduce myself real quick but it was getting busy and I had to roll upstairs to start. So throughout the night it's business as usual. I notice the top floor is gettin fuller and fuller. And it's normaly pretty balanced on the bottom and top floor. After awhile I got security, waitresses and people commin up to me sayin the DJ downstairs is terrible and he's screwin up. I was thinkin thats weird because earlier he was soundin decent to me. So I really didn't think about to much I was trying to stay focused. Around last call security told me to wrap it up early because there was a situation downstairs. Im just thinkin it's a scuffle or fight or somethin.

So im jus chillin waitin to get paid and where talkin to the security and officers about what was goin on downstairs. They said the DJ got shitfaced drunk. And they were saying that his equipment was screwin up and cut off like 5 times. Which explains why everybody was commin upstairs to the real party. After awhile the crowd got pissed and were chanting "fuck the DJ". And apparently he got back on the mic and was cussin the crowd out and blamein everything on the sound system. They were sayin his backup music was like some rock Pantera type shit. Also heard he was braggin about how much he makes in Vegas tryin to piss in beer bottles in the booth and shit. Basically just a hot mess. Cops said they almost had to escort him out, but he ended up leavein quick in a cab. And I get a heads up on Sunday that they had a meeting and said they can't serve the DJ's drinks anymore because of this dude. Which isn't a big deal to me anyway. But I do like to have 1 or 2 to get loose. Oh well

Like I said i was upstairs workin the whole time so if this is not true, sorry. Im jus goin by what the owner, cops, staff and like 20 people told me. So what bugs me about this is that this supposedly hot shot DJ gets flown out here. Put up in a fancy hotel. Probably got paid way more than I did and still managed to screw up the night. Made me look better so thats cool. So im jus curious if any of you Vegas guys heard of this cat?

UMy final thoughts on this subject as if I hadn't mentioned them already.

Do I like autosync? No.

Do I think it will 'cheapen' the software? Yes

Will I stop using it if they implement it? No. And, I probably wouldn't update
to that version unless there is something else I need within the same version

End of thread


PS. And, unless you're too retarded to read, I already answered your question.
SELECT 8:03 PM - 10 March, 2010
Can we get bigger waveforms and circles? Maybe just a circles and waveforms mode? Also could we get an effects button that mimics scratching and a auto juggler that plays back a cued break three times? That would just leave so much more time to do other things and be more creative. Maybe even a fifth deck?

One last thing.. when its 3.0 coming out????!!!!!

A real life example i can think of that explains what i think will happen is my personal situation with my day job, i got a MIS degree for programming computers, i got my job and they are using a different language to program their stuff, i learned enough to do what i need to do, now we have a library of already written stuff and most of what i do is modifing that library, but every once in a while well have requests for new programs......now each time i think ok ill write this one from scratch so ill know it inside and out.....NEVER HAPPENS, i usually get about 4 lines in and go fuck it and copy over and modifiy an existing program since the groundwork is already there, i mean why learn all that stuff for myself when the easy stuffs already done and it gets the job done efficentally, but in the long run im hindering the hell out of myself because if the situation ever arrises that i need to program one from scratch with no foundation im going to be stuck like chuck
RogerRabbit 3:29 PM - 11 March, 2010
At least you got a job in mis. I also got a computer systems degree but I am stuck(for now) in a job unrelated to my degree - so you got it good. But thats what they teach in computer class - not to reinvent the wheel. If a piece of code works, use it.

Uhmmm, that's the idea behind oo programming, your supposed to reuse existing code, saves resources. Should always check to see if someone has done that shit before. I wish some programmers would spend more time looking through their library instead of trying to reinvent the wheel. Eventually some poor b*strd will have to go through that code and chop all the duplicated stuff out. Sorry, off topic.

Dj-M.Bezzle 2:55 PM - 12 March, 2010
not at all, because not any joe off the street can walk in and use ableton, that shit takes alot of time to learn so there si still a process of developing some form of talent, my main thing against autosync is the abiility of anyone to just walk off the street hop on the computer, be told 4 or 5 sentences on when to push the button and fade and be a dj......iif you pulled joe college kid off the street and put him in front of ableton he wouldnt be cranking out hot remixs in 5 minutes
RogerRabbit 3:49 PM - 12 March, 2010
The things you fear about autosync are going to come to pass whether or not serato adds the feature to their program or not.  The average Joe already got 120 gig iPods full of music. For all you know, Apple may add autosync to iTunes and corner the market.
Numark already got iPod dj controllers. 
There are compnaies out their that will capitalize on the fact the people want to create thier own playlist and mix there own tunes.
  
Being a dj is not as exculive as it was the last decade. Accept that and moved on.

And there are people here who have been using the software for free for yearS. No paid updates. Why shouldn't serato try to pull in new customers.  It's not like anyone here is going back to viynl or going to switch to another DVS - because they all the feature also.
 
Dj-M.Bezzle 3:56 PM - 12 March, 2010
I agree with all of that, and from a busniess aspect yes i think serato would because noonoes going to give up reliable softwaare just because a feature was added but they would gain alot of new customers.....i agree with that and thats reality\life, that DOSENT mean i have to like it and it dosent mean i have to mold my opinions to cater to that ideaology

Do i think serato as a busniess NO
Do I think its bad for the djculture YES
Do I think its bad for DJing as a busniess YES
Do I think its bad for the night life scene for people going to clubs Yes and NO
Would I use it NO
Do I think its going to eventually happen YES

Ok, all you're saying here is what I'VE been saying. Autosync won't knock a PRO DJ out the box, but it allows the n00bs to play.

Is a n00b gonna take a PRO-BOWLERS spot?

Is a spot that's gonna hire a n00b a place you want to DJ at?

And if you DO want that spot, are you NOT able to beat the n00b out for it?

And your correct, im in agreement that the noob isnt going to beat the pro bowler, in this the "pro bowlers" are the DJ ams jazzy jefs a-traks spinbads ect. But what about people who arent on pro tour level, the guys who practice every weekend and get really good but who dont knowck down strickes on EVERY throw, the guy whos the superstar of the company bowling team because he really puts in practice. Before his effort paid off because it showed as people with no talent throw alot of gutter balls and he dosent.....now consider with bowling you have what 10 pins right, so without the option of a gutterball if you throw the ball kinda hard odds are your going to knock several down with no talent, so at this point this dude who put in hella effort is going to have a similar score to some random joker who signed for goofs, at the end their score may be the difference of a few points, hell if hes not using bumpers clown boy may BEAT him with no training because he is using the crutsch........now examine this situation in long term, what would be the bennefit of learning how to throw a ball properly if you know youll never have to worry about a gutterball again, 2 or 3 gens down the line every single player is going to be using that crutch

They wouldn't be affected either UNLESS they are on the same skill level as the n00b.

The minute you have a situation where those "gutter helpers" allow that n00b to obtain STRIKES, that's when you have a problem.

So the minute Autosync REALLY can rock a party, that's when you have an issue.
Dj-M.Bezzle 7:43 PM - 12 March, 2010
they WOULD be affected because most league guys dont throw consistant strikes in the 1st place, they just throw consistantly enough to knowck enough pins down on each turn and that adds up, if you add the bumpers all you have to do is throw the ball hard and youll knock over at least half the pis every time

This is the same as club djs, your PRO BOWLER LEAGUE djs are the tourer DJs, a-trak, spinbad, jazzy jeff ect ect, these guys are throwin strikes every time and arent effected.

The amateur league champs are your local Club Bar DJs, these guys usally aret amazing DJs, their not pushin the enveloe that far of droppin jaws but their providing a great experience and have put the work in to get there.THESE are the guys affected

no the point where i have a problem with autosync is the point where someone who dosent put in the practice time can go up in front of a crowd play radio hits and have the people leave saying that was fun the dj was good

The bridge won't take any special skills to auto-sync with.
You'll dump whole music your library into ableton, then your "clips" (entire songs) can be auto-synced. People don't just spin original stuff on ableton, a lot of people "spin" with ableton using entire songs.
Dj-M.Bezzle 8:12 PM - 12 March, 2010
see i parsonally have 0 idea how to do that
Nicky Blunt 8:17 PM - 12 March, 2010
youtube is your friend in that dept bezzle, I have no idea how to do that either, but I also have no interest in learning how to dj with whole songs off ableton.

currently i dont even own ableton, im putting that off until the bridge comes out but even then its behind several other purchases i have lined up

QSC k??
2 Revo 4s
Tstands
needles
ect....wow this list gets longer every day
deezlee 8:32 PM - 12 March, 2010
i'm just saying that after the bridge comes out, a total beginner will be able to buy serato and ableton, dump their itunes library into ableton, and be auto-mixing songs in serato on day one. and i'm not talking about some dude with midi controllers looking the part. i'm talking about someone plugging their laptop in, firing up serato, and "mixing" with turntables. just like you and me. but not.
Dj-M.Bezzle 8:36 PM - 12 March, 2010
.......wouldnt it be easier for them to do that now with just ableton??
Dj-M.Bezzle 8:37 PM - 12 March, 2010
i dont think the bridge works liek that though, isntt the bridge only a 1 track thing, so you could play a track sync the ableton track but your next track would have to be mixed in?
deezlee 8:46 PM - 12 March, 2010
the do it now with just ableton. i'm just saying that they'll be able to do it from within serato, on standard club equipment, looking like a "real" dj.

i think you could just leave one turntable going as a master clock, then sync endless clips "songs" to that ? i dunno how that goes cause i don't use ableton, but i'm sure it'll be easy to auto-sync with it. also maybe with the sl3 you'll be able to run a clock-track on one table and abletoned songs on the other two?

i dunno, i'm just saying that arguing over auto-sync isn't gonna matter much, cause it's about to be here anyway!

they WOULD be affected because most league guys dont throw consistant strikes in the 1st place, they just throw consistantly enough to knowck enough pins down on each turn and that adds up, if you add the bumpers all you have to do is throw the ball hard and youll knock over at least half the pis every time

This is the same as club djs, your PRO BOWLER LEAGUE djs are the tourer DJs, a-trak, spinbad, jazzy jeff ect ect, these guys are throwin strikes every time and arent effected.

The amateur league champs are your local Club Bar DJs, these guys usally aret amazing DJs, their not pushin the enveloe that far of droppin jaws but their providing a great experience and have put the work in to get there.THESE are the guys affected


Then do what you're supposed to do and PRACTICE to throw strikes every time.

If that noob is charging 50 bucks and im charginr 250 ya in my market he wins, i know this is going to go back to the you need to move 1 horse market thing but here there is 0 scratching 0 live remixing 0 original transitions 0 dig tracks, all djs here play intro in 2 verse next song fade out, all top 40 radio type tracks, hell theres only 1 club that even plays crooklyn tracks.....not only that but since thats all thats avaliable here thats all crowds seem to want\respond to, that performance is EASILY mimiced with auto sync, so if thats all the crowds wanting why would someone pay me 250 or even 100 when they can pay someone 30 and deliver what the crowd wants......also like i said even if the dj sucks the crowd dosent have alot of alternative options, certian people go to certian places cause there the only places to go, so if you have a crowd gaurenteed why splurge on an amazing dj
Dj-M.Bezzle 9:20 PM - 12 March, 2010
which brings me back to why autosync will never kill the careers of LA or NY djs, you guys have rich history of great djs, you have options, if you have DJs like scene and Vice performing, thats what crowds see and when you have a subpar DJ their gonna say fuck this and go to one of the other clubs where people who grew up in the dj cultrue and are pushing it play. They have a pool of talent and lots of options to keep ot competitive.....markets that dont naturally have that will eb the suffering markets

howcome 10:27 PM - 12 March, 2010
Deezlee,

Ableton Live is not accurate enough in my experience to just analyze your music library. Even with straight 4/4 dance music the warping will sometimes get funky. This would cause a major train wreck of epic proportions. I would go through every song for a set checking warp markers for any that are off. Oh and who cares if they add autosync.

Especially in this enviroment i dont think there are ANY clubs (outside of major venues) that wouldnt love to pay a dj $20 to cut costs, what keeps us in the upper pay limits is that there arent a whole lot of DJs here but as losers with VDJ are starting to pop up that #s on the way down, owners arent paying the DJs here to be performers their paying them to be jukeboxes

by this enviroment i was speaking about the economy on a national scale, and i stated that $200 is obtainable when you have to have mixing and only have a few people doing it but add in a function that lets every joe smoe do it and not only do they no longer need to pay that but the autosyncers dont need to ask for more
KYLE SMILE 4:06 PM - 13 March, 2010
I don't think it would make much difference to be honest if it was added, it's not in there for djs peace of mind. Ones like me who feel they're still doing it properly because they're mixing themselves.

Still, everything else in the software is the same as others, hot cues, seamless looping (wasn't this classed as cheating a few years back) and the rest so what difference does it make if a dj is using vdj, traktor, serato or anything else.

I think we have to move with the times, anyone can dj nowadays and thats why the money has come down drastically. Thing is, not everyone has the experience with knowing a crowd or how to use a microphone - that's what puts you above the kids.

Here in the UK now you're looking at around £120-£175 Friday nights and £120-£200 Saturday. Midweek it's average about £80-£120 unless you're doing a big student gig then you could get up to £200. It's still alot of money considering what you have to do. If you put the effort in, get your contacts and don't mess people around, you'll get your work and earn a nice amount.

thats not much of a barrier, standard DJ advice is to stay the hell off the mic they wanna hear wayne weeze through his rythmatic nonsense not you, and as far as knowing crowds its not rocket science, if you can spare about 2 hours a month to listen to your radio then youll know everything that most crowds wanna hear

May be for you, but i feed my crowd with lots of mic work with lots of hands in the air work. I talk alot at the start of the night to groups to get them more involved in the party or to push the to the dancefloor/give shout outs etc.

And not at all for the music, anyone can download the top40 and play it, but it's knowing how to swap and change your music to keep everyone interested as well as keeping the bars busy too. How to know to be able to play an average song that'll keep people interested but in turn makes them want to go to the bar. Managers look at numbers on the tills, not the dancefloor.

And you should be pissed too, unless you're a bedroom DJ or close to one. Note: I'm not saying you personally, but in general. As a DJ, you should be pissed and most importantly, you should try and do something about it.

Before DVS became popular, I was DJing clubs and getting $400-600 for 4 hours. This is all vinyl (plus CD's for those that wanted to use CD's at the club). But, that was the norm. Somehow DVS cheapened the DJ culture and affected such culture more than CD's ever did.

The argument as it stands is that new technology has fucked up our DJ culture. Yes. It has, but different technology affects our DJ culture differently.

So now, it is normal in California (and it seems this is just about anywhere else too) for the DJ to get an average of $200. And, this has nothing to do with skills or knowledge or experience.

Want to know the real reason Johnny doesn't care? Because he's just a bedroom DJ. He may do a gig here and there but he's not a club DJ. He's not at clubs every week DJing his ass off, so he obviously doesn't care because a lot of things don't affect the bedroom DJ.

The only reason I ever got ScratchLive was and is because it emulates vinyl the closest it has ever been done AND I like the layout of ScratchLive vs the competition. Plus, reliability, etc. You get the point.

Plus, you really have no choice as many record companies are not really pressing vinyl.

You see, DVS go hand in hand as far as how the production of vinyl declined. Labels realized that it was cheaper to send mp3's and faster to reach the DJ's than waiting for vinyl to be pressed.

You can't say that DVS is also wrong. It has its negative and positive effects.

True. But the acceptance of DVS's is where the decline of the core dj culture began. The barrier to entry is almost non existent.

True. But the acceptance of DVS's is where the decline of the core dj culture began. The barrier to entry is almost non existent.

It's not a black and white issue DVS is good and bad, I think the bad outways the good but not utilizing it dosent counteract the people abusing and missusing the tool

Are you really misusing something if it is programmed into the software?


of course you can missuse software even when the code is used correctly, peer to peer file sharing software works perfectly and can be used in legitamate ways yet people use it to steal everyday and it's ruining the music and movie industrys

That's why I keep saying that we must do something about it. For instance, disregard everything for a minute. Every type of equipment, tool or whatever is necessary for a DJ to be a DJ. It all starts with talking about it. Either you learn the right way, or you don't. There's really no third choice. You can either accept to learn DJing by dedicating yourself and learning everything there is to know about it, or choose the easy way and just buy something that will "mix" or play music for you. No. I'm not talking about autosync. I'm talking about an iPod, a mixed CD, or whatever.

You can either work to become a DJ or microwave yourself into pretending to be one in a matter of days or weeks. True DJ's, those who love the art form spend years and years dedicated to learning.

Peer-2-Peer software is probably the best example of misusing software.
sixxx 10:36 PM - 13 March, 2010
It's kinda like how some people become DJ's to try and get pussy cause they don't have game otherwise. It's a misuse of the art form. They want to be "popular" and don't know how or what else to do.

hahaha. This happened to a "DJ' I knew back in the day. He was playing a mixed CD. His DJ booth was pretty high up so no one could tell he wasn't mixing. He was even pretending to mix and all. Doing hand gestures and what not. Then, the CD started skipping. hahaha

Want to know the real reason Johnny doesn't care? Because he's just a bedroom DJ. He may do a gig here and there but he's not a club DJ. He's not at clubs every week DJing his ass off, so he obviously doesn't care because a lot of things don't affect the bedroom DJ.


Of course you are talking out of your azz again. Like I've said, I've done everything I've ever wanted to do as a DJ, so I'm content with my achievements.

You on the other hand, are still trying to achieve what I've obtained, and thus aren't satisfied.

While you were scrounging for gigs, I was KILLIN' the scene FOR generations.

Now, I can sit back and school the young cats on what to do on the come up.

So, the reason why I don't care about Autosync is because I've seen the DJ Culture change from one scope to another.

I've witnessed the birth of Hiphop, help establish a culture here in my own area, set the bar for others to reach, and am STILL ON THE SCENE.

You could say I've achieved Legendary Status to put it bluntly.

All you can do is talk slick, as you've never done anything here except had a few fanboys, who eventually saw how you can talk a good game, but when it comes to the skills....that little crew disbanded like the boyband they were.

And as I always say....

Stickam is the TRUTH.
sixxx 3:48 AM - 14 March, 2010
Hahaha. I love it when you get pissed and your vagina gets sand.

Nothing wrong with being a bedroom DJ but it's the truth stickam bedroom man. I've probably achieved more than you have but this isn't a dick measuring contest.
All I'm saying is that NOW you're not a club DJ or are doing anything where technology
matters cause no one is trying to snake your bedroom gig.

lol @ disbanded. That's why we have the baddest jams of any coast
where cats from canada and the east coast come to represent.
DJJOHNNYM_vSL3 6:47 AM - 14 March, 2010
Man, ain't nobody pissed. I just speak the truth. You're were I was YEARS AGO.

Been there, done that, got the T-Shirt.

And NO this could NEVER be a dick measuring contest, as you are ill equipped.

Like I said, I paved the way for Sunkist Orange Crate carriers like yourself to get on.

And SMH @ "The Baddest Jams of any Coast"...

Like you hosted one...lol.

Dude, you've got 3 or 4 talented DJ's over there, and you're not one of them.
sixxx 7:06 AM - 14 March, 2010
Riiight. You got beat a non-talented DJ then. What does that say about YOU?

You already know. hahahahahahahaha


lol @ were you were years ago. I've been rockin' clubs for many years. I've done radio.. many stations. Tell me which radio stations you've DJ'ed for? I've rocked concerts.. and you? Stickam? bwahahaha

Keep dreamin' homeboy.

Dude, my resume is too large to list here, but I will give you a tidbit.

I was in THE SOURCE Magazine as Unsigned Hype in 1990. (Yes, 2 years before BIGGIE)

What were YOU doing then? LMAO!

I do however, enjoy your comedy....

Carry on.

Summer 1990 - Soul Kings (MC Nicky Dee & DJ Johnny M) from Piscataway, New Jersey -

Mc Nicky Dee adn his crew, the Soul Kings, have come up wiht a positive demo tape with six cuts displaying musical prowess and lyrical versatility. At it's best, the music is street-wise and funky, utilizing some undiscovered breaks and samples. Nicky Dee, who claims to have been "a rapper since 1976 and a DJ since 1983" has a confident, articulate rhyme style reminiscent of early MC Shan. His lyrics are at their best when he talks about the faults of the music industry: "Just look at the charts on any given day / Only the crossover hip-hop gets airplay." The production is great, with a lot a edits, cuts and samples. DJ Johnny M shows his agility on the turntables, and has a full command of the ones and twos, raising the bar of what is expected from a DJ. He has a very concise, clean style. The Soul Kings hail from central New Jersey (Piscataway), and are shopping this demo for a record deal.

And LIKE IS SAID, what were YOU doing in 1990?

I'm sure you were still...

a bedroom DJ....

I'm actually glad that you acquired a club gig.
DJJOHNNYM_vSL3 10:33 PM - 14 March, 2010
And that's probably the biggest difference in how I view things.

A person who feels like they've accomplished all they wanted to in a certain aspect of their life is not threatened by anything.

He has no fear.

That's where I am.

Those that are still trying to "achieve" something, may have a fear of not being successful.

There are OTHER THINGS in life that I am trying to "achieve" that are NOT DJ related, so NO, I'm not DJ'ing as my ONLY income.

I COULD choose that route if I wanted to, but I've got other aspirations, and I'm sure your goals (Sixxx's), will change with maturity.

Right now, you just keep fending off those Autosync DJ's!
