me personally, i like digging through thousands of records every night before a gig, to pick the 200 that i might play that night. i really don't mind the excess baggage fees i pay when taking my vinyl to gig with me in the next state over. i take that back, i like extra baggage fees, i just pass them along to the person who hired me. i really dont mind that most clubs these days only have enough room for 1 or 2 crates tops, make me compact my shit even more. i get quite a workout lifting those fuckers to and from the gig too. what's not to like about getting a good workout. i really don't even care that my precious vinyl gets worn out after playing it too many times. i just buy new ones. and for people who think its cool to make your mixes and be able to play them that night at the club with this fake vinyl serato crap,.. that's over rated. if it's not on vinyl already then you shouldnt be playing it.
so i'm with this guy. serato sucks, vinyl rulez. good night now!

Guess we are all poser DJs. Hey everyone get on the phone and call Jazzy Jeff, A-Track, The Beat Junkies, DJ AM, Spinbad etc. and tell them they aren't real DJs because they aren't on Serato.

I got franks and pork and beans
Always bust the new routines
I get it - I got it, I know it's good
The rhymes I write - you wish you would
I'm never in training, my voice is not straining
People always biting and I'm sick of complaining
So I went into the locker room during classes
Went into your locker and I smashed your glasses

Serato Sucks - you are entitled to your opinions, and entitled to express them, but please do not post the same message in multiple threads. So far you have posted "Real Djs Play VINYL" in 11 different threads. This is a warning, play nice or we'll have to ask you to leave our forum.

Sam,
2 or 3 different threads should be already a sign that this person is looking for attention, but 11... definitely abusing the rules.

Don't forget E Swift of Tha Alcoholiks , and DJ Muggs. I worked with these guys personally and it sold me on the Rane SSL. I just got my laptop today and will be getting Scratch soon. I use mainly Vinyl and MIDI gear. I like CDJ's but they do not have the versitility and feel of Scratch it seems. Oh well It is too late now so I will see it I like it...

... and let's not forget to include the part when the airline (if you're flying out to your next gig) loses/misplaces a record case or two.

hmm. i never thought about the fact that no airline has ever lost a "CARRY ON",.. which is exactly how I roll with serato. hmm. maybe there is something to this newfangled serato crap.

Last week they made me check in my 57 !!! Since I did not have another bag, I had to check in the entire bag containing the mixer, laptop, CV's, cables etc.
It was a very restless flight for me, seeing that they delay lots of luggage since the 'liquids saga'.
Now that SUCKS ......

its kinda a joke, but not really if you're goin out of the country. Most non-western countries except for Japan don't support vinyl at all. I was down in brazil this summer and vinyls down there are 25USD each! Thats 50 brazilian dollars. I might be living outside the US in a few years, and will definitely be taking a short stack of serato vinyls with me cuz i sure ain't payin no $25 a record!

I was just thinking! Serato should put out a special edition 7" control vinyl (for the dancehall selectors). That'd be some cool shit. Wey ya seh Starr!
dj Chris jazz
5:35 AM - 16 September, 2006
and by the way... im all about versatility. serato rocks! it is vinyl! you do have to look thru a thousand crates before a gig. thats why everyone loves it! its totally different and the same at the same time. if u think it suks then dont use it and watch us blow by you. serato is the best thing to come along for us in a long time and opens doors to new ideas that werent possible before. my fav. being the ability to record and scratch whatever i want!!!! on friggin vinyl!!!!!!!!!!!
dj Chris jazz
5:44 AM - 16 September, 2006
and im as oldschool as it gets! some people are afraid of change and some embrace it. i wouldnt be able to sleep at nite knowing thousands of djs were leaving me in the dust. i love vinyl the most also like most and yet i have cdjs and 12s. i was actually glad there is an alternative 2 the cd decks. you should thank serato.
akaider
6:22 AM - 16 September, 2006
dude i was sayin the same ish the other day!
rockin 45s for dancehall is def more fun than 12" control vinyl.
i dunno if there enough of us to make a market tho...

4:43 PM - 31 January, 2007
thats really funny
serato is for either
1 nerds
2 lazy djs
3 cheap djs without any backbone for culture
4 corporate people
5 djs that once used to be good, but had to modify their setup because someone like myself, upd the game too much
6 people who dont understand the science of sound
the reality is, mp3s sound like shit
and to top it off, theyre privately owned by a bavarian company, and some mp3s are known to have binaural frequencies specifically aimed at mind control, i shit you not
youd better off using ogg files, open source, and much better quality or wavs
but even then, all this psuedo technology crap is funny
i remember namm when everyone would invest into dedicated hardware
but today, since all of the young people are brainwashed from the media, if you watch tv, its rubbed of
tv, music, and all of the scenes, which are falling into the categories above, use these formats
even on the radio, the overcompressed cheap digital claps and kicks, which dont bump, and no matter how good you master it, it still wont bump, is now considered the bump, the level
my mixes bump heavier than masters, and ive dealt with so called mastering engineers who say they a b my mixes to 50 cent, like that shit bumps
he was fired
people dont have any more comparisons of how to get a truely good sound, so the standard, which is a cheap one, and privately owned for 1 of the 6 reasons above, is now becoming the level to be at
so you have all these serato djs going to clubs killing my ears with their tinty digital mp3s which send no type of true sound out of the speaker, which means i literally never feel the music, and the music itself, even if recorded well, is bullshit, played by people who somehow think that they need to play it
no backbone
and its not suprising that something emulating another tool that doesnt need an emulation, is being used by people with low work ethic, and standards, sonically, culturally, and musically
you want a real turntable, get a controller one
www.vestax.com
i designed this, no this isnt a plug, its information
and you could never use serato on this, the pitch changes are analog, and thus, when you get to low speeds, for low tones or sampling, digital languges could never resample the notes in time, or accurately enough to correspond with true pitch
its like taking a bassline from wax, then running to mpc to 16 level it
the reality is, its much better to record 16 levels of the same sample from the c1, then sample all of that, then just chop it and arrange it
when you do that your now working with true pitch changes, and the only thing being sacrificed is the reproduction of sound, but at last its not resampling it
instead of resamples, which makes everything sound like it does, digital, with no low end, or true resonance
people think digital is the shit, and people are forgetting one very important insight, and that is, everything is unique
you can never duplicate or truely emulate anything
so why even go there with it
i dont use mpcs either, but my point is, its all about analog, its the true sound, and its a true pitch change, hands on and real time
everyone thinks they can skip phases, milk the clubs to get you to bring your laptop and play mp3s, but your killing the game
straight up
your killing the way distributors work, the stores work, how music is transferrer, and most importantly, all these steps were taken with sound reproduction being of the least importance
which mean all of you serato djs are responsible for playing low quality music to people
the fucked up part is, people who go to clubs or just want to go out, they look at djs as the pros, but as we all know, 99 of all of the serato users are not pros
many of you couldnt even run with me and my crew, and thats not a diss, its like a observation of 2 street ball times, dont front, you aint up on par
yet, the audience thinks you are, and the dope fools arent alway performing to remedy the years and hours of the same format of presenting music
i cant go to every club and show them true bump all day
there has to be some type of sound standard, but theres really not
thats why im posting this, to put it in peoples mind that sound quality is the most important issue
serato to me, is not a technologic breakthrough, like mp3s arent either, what this is is a social experimentation that has the antitthesis to the very principle of sound recording that set the bar of music, which very few in the past 20 years has yet to surpass
if there is no code to live up to, then all of you cheap music plying djs, will be apart of the deconstruction of the collective human spirit
not only are you playing bad music most likely, all that cheap commercial shit thats made on cheap equipment, but you give the already cheap music on a format thats even cheaper
there are people with nerve to go on stage and play mp3s, thats some of the most irresponible shit ive heard of
your job as a dj is to inspire people with music, high quality recorded music, representing the artists you play with the version of music which they spent hours on end, recording mixing and mastering
people are not inspired, music is very very bad right now, because long story short, no one can feel the music anymore
the sound is digital, and there is no true sound waves comin out of the speakers, and our bodies respond, scientifically, to cerain resonances, its something you dont hear, its somethin you feel, like you know when the tv is on, but nothing is playin, extreme frequencies that deal with the emotional aspect of people
sound is very powerful, and the very idea of emulating existing products, and taking steps back in sound quality, and downloading music which u have no idea how it was encoded, and this whole commercial, ease and convenience, over quality and good work ethic, is why society in general is in jeopardy
many of you djs dont understand how powerful sound is, if you truely did, youd make it your priority to provide sound at the highst of caliber
as we all know, analog is still the best, be it vinyl records, or the equipment used to make the music
you need electrons coming out of that speaker, resonanting real sound for real analog bodies to have a physical response to
everyone is fakin the funk big time
the game is getting way too easy, serato has automated mixing too, thats just funny, but regardless of how easy they make it, you will never get the skills, ethics, that come from true work
serato is for either

i smell mr. rucker in this post.
glad to know you're holding on to the past dude.
it's not 98 anymore....and since when has serato implimented
auto mixing? uhhh NEVER. get over yourself.
serato doesn't do shit but keep us from having to lug around crate after crate of records. oh wait it does do more. i can rock any type of party at any point in time AND if i put together a track i can rock it the second i'm done with it. plus it still acts exactly like the same old vinyl i grew up with every single time.
you must enjoy pissing into the wind.

Mr. Rucker? More like Mr. Rectum!!!
Momma told me to never argue with idiots!
So, I won't...
But can this post be considered a digital "EYE ROLL?" or a "Whatever?"
Serato has revolutionized DJing as we know it, while still leaving in the essential things that brought us into this life in the first place.
All the other "me too" products don't work quite right...
Get over it...
Serato RULES, YOU SUCK!!!
I'm a fanboy through and through...
Damn, I argued with you anyway!

the fuck you think it is
ruckazoid, rucker
clever
its funny how pseudo forward thinking people think that holding on to tried true methods is a sign of being out dated
do you have a major label deal, do you have 10 records about to be released in 2007 alone on major indies, have you designed a turntable or a mixer
u probably think i even look the same
im vegan
you probably think i make the same style music
no, its more advanced and is for body moving
my cuts are more devastating than ever
im actually holding on to the most efficient methods that work
after all, youdont know where your going unless you know where youve been
i know where weve been, and cheapening sound and puttng emphasis on ease, is a step back on all accounts
th very fact that theres an emulator, for something that is good on its own, is faulty off the top
its like having a emulation rolex
why, oh, its lighter than the real one
i keep up with advancements that are truely worthwhile and are in tune with the same ethics of highest quality sound
so your, oh, i know rucker, angle, is stupid, because
you dont know me, and for you to take that approach shows that youve been offended because you have weak principles and your accomplishments dont even measure up to mine, and its no mistake that i have a more stict ethics to my art
i dont hate no one, so stay on the point here
oh theres no automixing in serato
pat on the back
the fact it was discussed as a feature, just goes to show where the heads of the users are at
if it was implemented, i would be considered living in the past because i use my hands haha
as for you rockin parties, haha, not if im on the bill with you, and your using digital
you cant beat science

thats just a copy and paste from Asisphonics; someone just trying to stir it up in Ricci's name.
There's a whole thread on Asis about this and i seriously doubt ricci would come onto this board dig up an ancient thread an then C&P his sh*t again on here...
but as for the sentiments of the post? if he was so against Digital he wouldn't be selling his shit on Itunes would he?

Ok. I think Monk-A is onto something. Ricci Rucker has got Mad skills.. For real.. He is a talented man. I don't know if he has said in any articles before that he is against serato?

yeah he's pretty much said all that on Asis, whihc is currently down.
But i doubt he'd come over here and starts a diatribe with a gorup of people who couldn't careless about what he does.
if it is him then it's pretty sad.

I just like to mix and expose people to all their future favorite songs. Serato makes it much easier for me to do that. I'm not in this to get rich, hang with Diddy or play out in Ibiza. I have a great day job and two sons to feed. Congratulations to you and your success, you must have worked very hard for that. If that is the case, your success should be self-evident. You don't need to get on a forum and trumpet that. If we are all such slackers for using Serato then you can continue to "keep it real." If that is what the public truly wants then you have nothing to worry about and you will be even MORE successful.

99 of all of the serato users are not pros
only 99? so the rest of us are pro's? thanks man. no but seriously... who is this guy? i'm tired of these haters.
then he ends the post with "you can't beat science". this negates his entire fuggin argument! what a dumbass. he's talking about disapproval of science (development/use of ssl) and then praising it at the end. i'm rather angry with this guy. obviously sound quality is important. and this so called "accomplishment" having person i've never heard of, can't roll with his crew? what does his crew play? come on. i complain as much as the next guy but this argument just holds no water.
oh yeah and about your "devastating cuts" post a mix or STFU. srsly.
(sorry im done)

who gives a fuck what he thinks? yeah he is known and obv feels as tho he's earned the right to hate on serato but thats just like anyone else here. its an opinion.
if he's happy with vinyl yippy skippy for him.
Primo has already said everything this dude is saying, so its pretty much as tired as i gets.

who cares what he thinks?
a lot of classic musicians say that todays producers arent real musicians because they dont use 'real' instruments.
lots of rock musicians discount house as music because 'it doesnt use a real guitar, a real piano, or a real drum kit'..
if anyone wants to be so close minded, let them listen to nothing but analogue instruments only, because thats the upshot of their own argument.
if a house / techno dj says 'uh, serato aint djing' then give them the preceding argument.
its a technological and musical advancement. you dont have to like or respect it, but it dont change what it is.

Are you people planning on doing turntablism routines at dance clubs? Can Rucker rock a dance floor? Everything I've seen of him has been people sitting around watching him like a band. And they only rock for a few minutes. He has a video on youtube with d-styles and I must say, it's pretty lame.

whos left in the so called turntablism dj game
i bet you havent even heard the below
www.turntablelab.com
www.turntablelab.com
its funny how toys call me a hater, when none of the people shouting that nonsense could even do half of what i do on the daily
im signed to a major label, and have
10 albums coming out this year alone
this shit is only good for nerds, because when a real dj, like myself, calls you on it, you dont even believe its me for one
and if it is me, then its sad all of a sudden, why cause i act human, and talk to people online
nah, i think its sad that theres so many sellouts, and people shortsighted mistakening ease for advancement
it makes perfect sense though, because this is the general trend
in all fields, low over head, cheaper products, and very easy to use
when you break it down to sound, skills, and true respect, you guys cant even speak on it, pretension, or fact
people saying they dont like any of my shit, god damn, have you even heard it, you probably heard my shit that i digitally
an i did put those albums on itunes, because they are digital, not only that, the amount of uneducated people who think someone like mike relm is a god at scratching, needs a level of someone reaching out to them
its even strange that me doing that would be more than a simple acknowledgement to certain people wanting to listen to shitty encoded music, so be it
im sure you probably think im am what i was 4 years ago, probably even think i look the same
everything has changed
haha, im vegan now, to top it off
everyone is free to do what they want, i thought this was assumed, so all this hater talk is rubbish, its a cop out if anything, and no one in here, on some real talk shit, is more accomplished, so this is how people with accomplishments are treated
i give factual insight, ive used digital domain probably more creatively than many of you will ever even attempt
i used digital medium like everyone else, for the cheap and ease of it
its true, if your talented, you will get your voice out regardless of the medium
thing is, as youdevelop and grow, your gear must grow, and your knowledge of the science of sound, so you can further have a greater impact of what you do, it benefits you
i did that, i made that jump, and it takes a while, takes sacrifice and commitment
what im seeing now is people trying to bring the game down to their level, and convince people that its the level to be at, because everyone is doing it, and for ease and convinience
its funny, cause when i throw down my 50 gs on my marketing, and the labels market my shit at the same time, everyone becomes hyped, but when the real actual shit is in your face, be it online, or whereever, people get scared and defensive, protecting the idea of ease and laziness
its just not a professional tool
thats like using digital compression on 2 track tape
are you kidding me
people seem fearful of someone calling you lazy, thats funny
ive been in this game a long time, and ive seen and predicted much of whats happened, this is untold, and people arent seeing the effect they have on the respect and integrity of the game
many people dont respect having to work a job, or hustle your ass off, to put money into making a record or cd, a physical manifestation, to put their stuff out, then shaking hands droppin off cds, doing shows, and havin to lugg gear
people dont lug crates cause they wanna seem real, people lugg crates cause records sound better, especially if you have your mixer hooked up to a preamp
theres something to be said when someone puts their money where their mouth is
everyone who promotes this product was someone doing their thing at one point, but cant speak a thing about that thing right now
this is shocking to hear, cause this shit is plain as day to me
haha, i can see how people look at me in their head, and i know im exactly the opposide, dude, im paid right now, theres nothin sad about me addressing a situation which is still far under addressed
my site is down cause im changing to bigger servers, haha a swear, only nerds are quick to call a site being down, because nerds care about shit like that
leaving out the fact that its been up for 2 years straight, first down time in 2 years, come on man
too much
my only point is, everything has its purpose, i can see a studio use for serato, but the way people use this, saturates the game, and throws off the dynamics of distributors, record stores, artists, and a consolidation of a lower quality format through one of two sources like itunes, making them the gate keepers of all music
after all, consolidation is what its all about, its not about building anything custom, or piece by piece studios, its about have a system that you can consolidate all of your music in, so its eaaaasier, yeah man, ease, its great
i know a lot of people buy music still, i know i do, but this mp3 shit at all levels, is not justified
there are only a few who could justify the use of the technology creatively beyond lazy asses who want everything easy, and these people, dont really use this for that reason, because its subpar to what already exist
what we have here is a bunch of people who are pseudo advance tech heads, who have confused ease and laziness and years of developing techniques, only ot be consolidated and digitized for an unjustified money paying nerd to capitalize off of
if any of you have a problem, i suggest listening, obviously in mp3, to a ruckazoid cut session, and then ask yourself if you think you can bang it like that with digital or control vinyl like that
if you say you can, you are completely clueless, cause if you did, youd feel me, and be trying to make some music
this is not a diss, its insight
theres too much so called opinion on music, and a complete ignorance of objective skills which are not comended or respected, not only artistically, but within buiness and how the business moves from an independent point of view
dj metro, do you think the dancefloor cares what the dj is using
the answer is yes
and its your job to care, thats why they dont
so if you as a dj is gonna give yourself fan standards, then you should just be a fan
do you know how many fans would of been happy with marvin gayes whats going demo tape, 5 takes before the final one which everyone knows and loves, a lot of people, but they werent, and thats what seperates the fans from the artist
if you give yourself fan standards, and then think that validates you as an artist, then you have it ass backwards
yes, of course they care, what you use determines the sound, flat bass means people dont feel it as much, they wanna be engulfed, the technology being promoted today doesnt promote this, it detracts
ps, im not pretencious, im blunt, the biggest pretense is people worried about seeming pretencious, instead of just speaking
i don judge people, you do what you want, but when you see me doing my thing, dont say no one didnt tell you, for real
i think we can all agree that we all like music, and i think we can all agree people need to hear music, my whole thing is, give them the best, and only the best, if you, the djs, the gatekeepers of the musical inspiration, lower your standards, then whats the use
you might as well sell it all to mac or microsoft, and get chips in your arms

I respect what you say cuz like i said everyone has opinions, but to be honest I have listened to hip hop for 15 years on the reg, old skool, new skool, dj's, underground and have never heard of you.
I am new to the game so I cant say shit really and i will say my skills are very limited. All I can say is from seeing other big name DJ's post on this forum (AM, sizzahands, Riz, kevin scott, revolution even those his words were kinda harsh) none of them have had this sorta arrogance you are showing.
You may be as dirty as you claim to be, but coming off the way you do (gives me at least) absolutely no inspiration or motivation to wanna hear any of your work.
Maybe if by some odd chance some one i am with plays some of your shit I will understand why you can speak the way you do, but until then its just huff and puff.
If you wanna call me out go ahead. I am not big, I am not that good by any "super dj standard", and I will say that point blank.
If you wanna call serato DJ's posers, fine, sweet, awesome. You just gotta realize its more then poser and lazy DJ's using it.
its 2007 shit was bound to happen eventually, so either flow with it, or bitch elsewhere.
like i said, nuff respect for your accomplishments, but the arrogance and rediculousness is just plain juvenile esp on a serato forum.

its funny you say that, what we did back then, has been adapted by pretty much everyone, and a group called birdy nam nam i believe is turntablism, but party rocking style
so its not about me taking it everywhere, but i opened up a lot of doors where people are exploring, i no longer explore like that
my controller one, has midi, and can be controlled with midi, i do bugged out scratch stuff with custom records connected to my midi setup and all of the cv connections and what not
its science, math, and art, with modular visuals
expensive
those videos are 4 years old though, i was a young 22 years old then, and things have changed drastically, you wouldnt even recognize me physically, everything has changed, thats life
i was experimenting with ideas at that moment, which has developed where im at now, which are projects with big money behind it
but its all politics at this point, you got bread, you gonna be heard, thats the game
i only rock parties now
turntablism is one aspect of what i do, and is the conceptual core of my sound
no one has seen what i really do, just tastes, thats how it was supposed to be, because i knew what you see now, wasnt what i was supposed to be doing, which is why is not mindblowing al encompassing with visual, full cmposition, money promotion, all that was just mindblowing shit from one aspect
it surely gave me plenty of insight and ideas to more traditionally composed music though, and that implmented with true futurism scratches, makes this music i do now, extremely potent, and something i believe is my destiny
i think people will have an entirely different picture of what i do now, not only because its developed into this original megablaster sound system, but because its a brand, a style, an image, all to the specific artistic invision
before was just trialblazing and not knowing what was to come about it
i only want to move my body and feel good
it wasnt that simple before
anyway, respect to all the people, but realize, its your job to bring the people the highest quality sound, dont cheat your people, and dont cheat yourself

I will never stop buying it. I agree that alot of the music now is garbage.... but there are a lot of very talented Dj's using SSL. .... and it doesn't make them any less of a DJ in my opinion.

Well I respect your hustle and opinions, but if you want to be an inspiration to DJ's less talented then you def need to relate to us.
I can respect Kanye being as cocky as he is, cuz what he does no one can really touch, but like they say DJ's are a dime a dozen and to me you need much more then just skill to be considered great or good.
People diss on AM all the time for some of the corny shit he plays and how he does the same set or whatever, but to me he is the epitome of a DJ I can respect to the fullest.
He has disgusting skills, but he doesnt have the attitude and arrogance that you think he would.
He is someone who admits is just a lucky guy with talent, and just is doing something he loves.
Thats someone I can get inspired by.
Someone who comes on a forum and goes off about how much better they are then everyone else and how they are so old skool and can do anything on reg vinyl that a serato dj can do, despite the fact I have never heard of, doesnt really sink in well with me.
thats all i am saying. If you like being low key thats cool, but if you wanna be an inspiration to up and coming DJ's the way your going about is def not the best way by any means.
but again nuff respect, you obv are where you are becuz you have earned it, thats it.

You need to come out of the closet Rucker. Damn your an angry man. Your telling me you couldn't do the same scratches with SSL control vinyl compared to real vinyl? Is this whole post really only about sound quality. I mean your sound quality is the greatest anywhere in the whole entire world. And so are your skills, I'm surprised you haven't gotten the attention of anybody outside the turntablist world. Why don't you go win the DMC or ITF since you own everybody. And yes I use vinyl, I actually have over 1000 records. SO I do understand the sound quality arguement. But that's all I agree with. SSL is just fun man. No need to brag how badass you are in a forum where nobody has ever heard of you regardless how many albums you haven't released yet. You came in acting like a total ass. How do you feel about Mix Master Mike and those guys using SSL?

i've never been able to be as creative as i am using serato (whether it's sampling my cool(!) but retarded neighbour and cut him up in the club) or play own beats,build/extend bridges,play my own remixes or stuff of friends,tv-sampled scratches..
but it really hurts to hear every second stupid toy telling me he got serato for christmas

I agree completely. All this mp3 DJ’ing stuff is for people with no skill or imagination. I would own anyone that uses this junk. If you are a real DJ you only use records with a battle mixer.
Everyone else is just faking the funk. Ya heard! It all sounds like garbage. Mp3 quality is horrible no matter what you do.
Radio stations that play this, should I tell them that I never really had a gun? It’s just the wax that the Terminator X spun. Woop! Woop! Is the sound of the man working on the chain.
Gang.
Fake SERATO DJ’s got me in a cell, their control records sell but a brother like me says well...ruckazoid is a prohet that I think you ought to listen to.
Rane’s product is badder than bad and that makes me madder than mad your files corrupt as a senator.
I’m Soul on roll, but you fake it like soap on a rope cause the beats in the lines are so dope
Listen for lessons I'm saying inside music that the MICROWAVES are blasting me for
They'll never care for the real DJ brothers and sisters now across the country has us up for the war.
We got to demonstrate,
come on now
they're gonna have to wait
Till we get it right
Radio stations I question their blackness
They call themselves black, but we'll see if they'll play this
TURN IT UP! Woooooo!
If you read this far, you have too much time on your hands! LOL I’m going to copy and paste the above text again and see how many people actually DID read this middle paragraph. Oh, SSL rocks and the haters can eat a dick. =)

people tend to consider these types of conversations confrontational, it seems cause passion is no longer a common thing
there needs to be more showing and proving, and less marketing and advertising
i truely appreciate anyone with a creative mind, so be creative, demand the highest quality, and do your homework
the idea is to realize you are the creator
so create wisely
like you are actually,
literally changing the world

MP3s played through Serato DO sound like shit, thats why I am very hesitant to say "Serato is just like real vinyl". Real vinyl sounds the BEST, but at the same time, I havent carried any crates in over 2 years... It is what it is... Trading off sound quality for convenience. Blah, but I like the ruckazoid and what he has to say.

2:56 AM - 1 February, 2007
What up Ricci Rucker. Welcome to the board. I won't go into who I am or how long I've been in the game or my skills of what I can and can't do. You have some valid points, I agree about the one about the sound quality.
Have you ever tried using Serato? If so was it at least one the versions released within the last year?
In my case my main reason for going to Serato is because it was getting increasingly difficult to find records on vinyl that I needed/wanted to play at shows/clubs/parties, etc. What was a vinyl loving dj like me to do? Vinyl is not being pressed up like it was back in the 80's. Even promo copies of some things are scarce. Each year less and less vinyl is being pressed. Serato allowed me to have those songs that I needed on vinyl.
In the club, the average club goer or should I say over 90% of the people there couldn't tell if you were playing a high quality MP3 or an actual record. Most people don't listen to music that closely when they are partying so unless it's a very extreme difference they are not going to notice. Also, they have been brainwashed with that tinny sound via downloads from the net and CD's. Point being, while I like the sound vinyl better, if the only way to have the songs on "vinyl" is to use Serato, I'm not going to say no I'm a purist, I just won't play these 25 or so hot records. At the end of the night people don't give a shit about whether you played MP3's or vinyl. They just care that you rocked the joint. And if you really think about it...most of this new stuff geting played in the clubs ain't "quality" music anyway..."nah I need "Laffy Taffy" on wax, I like the warm sound that vinyl brings out of that casio keyboard".

I do think things are different 4 years on, i think people have drifted off and done what they set out to do you included and i totally respect that.
The only problem here is you're applying you're musicians values and techniques to a bunch of guys who aren't all interested in that aspect of DJ'ing, even some of the "tablists" that post on here aren't thinking in these realms....

i'm scratching my balls right now...i didn't even read any of the last 25 posts. but i feel like i know what that douche said. maybe if i keep typing i won't resent my job so much. the person on the other side of the cubical from me is too quiet. i think they may be planning to kill me. i just realized that i typed i'm scratching my balls right now with one hand, cuz i was scratching my balls...no thoughts...the post it notes are pink. working with Japanese people is a special skill. not everyone can do it. their sound quality is very low. but they all have ipods. i hope ford doesn't go out of business this year...is it wrong to be from detroit and like japanese cars? how come noone disses americans for riding european cars' jocks? doesn't make sense to me. is it because they are produced by white people? this stream of concsiousness thing is overrated. i think my monitor is dimmer than it was yesterday and the battery in my wireless mouse is going dead. I should go get another one from the supply closet. damn, my coffee is done. i really love the taste of coffee but i don't want to drink another cup or i'll be up all night playing with my decks and not get any sleep and be late to work again tomorrow. i should really move back to tokyo. but then i'd have to dump my girlfriend. but i think that would be ok with me...am i a dick? probably. well, maybe not a dick but definitely an asshole. i think IT may be spying on me. they're probably monitoring how much i'm on this website. i wonder what ruckazoid is doing right now. he's probably sleeping from being tired from all of the stuff he had to do yesterday. his hands must be tired from all of that typing..that combined with an alien like scratch regimen which he must constantly practice must make him sleepy. i wish i had enough money for a ttm57...that would make my week. maybe i'll go to the casino this weekend if i have a chance. where the hell is my boss? and toyoda-san? i wonder if they're in the video conference room. i should check the calendar to make sure the dates for isla verde are good with takahashi-san. don't want anything f-ing that trip up. man i need to hit the treadmill so i can look good on the beach. only two months till PR. nice. i don't like rum though.

no its not homie
with words, it doesnt matter,
in this case, the types of words you use, would matter, not the pen
in the case of sound, the types of sound generation you use, matters, not only sonically, but functionality and the types of ways one must use the medium to get different results
im glad you posted that, because you embody this false logic where you actually believe that equipment doesnt have an effect on your application, your vision, or the actual sound

in the case of sound, the types of sound generation you use, matters, not only sonically, but functionality and the types of ways one must use the medium to get different results
im glad you posted that, because you embody this false logic where you actually believe that equipment doesnt have an effect on your application, your vision, or the actual sound

notice, no one has really focused on the points i mentioned, just fear and laziness is being expressed, and sometimes the fear of being called lazy

thing is, shit like laffy taffy wouldnt be made if better equipment was avaialble commercially
soon, there gonna say music equipment sales have gone down
maybe thats because some of the keyboards the sell actually have a screen on the keyboard that has a pointless picture of the keyboard itself, with cheesy sounds, and worse off, no introduction to how things were done
also, if you think people get hyped to laffy taffy, or any of that mainstream bullshit, your bout to witness something amazing
what they get hyped on is familiarism, that is it
thats the whole idea of marketing
not the music, so once again, its politics, you play most anythin on the radio as much as they pay these djs to, youll have most people in the club getting hyped to whatever it is being played at the club
so dont confuse high radio play with true emotional feedback from people
mp3s and downloads have ade its emergence as it has because of the lack of quality music, combined with the lack of history to young kids, and horribly produced commercial dj and music equipment
people cant even make a complete album, an worse off, people dont even trust artists, thats why they download one song, and dont even look forward to an album, or the artwork
its all cheap
djs have sold themselves out, believing thats what people wanna hear, thats to you djs who play it, i dont care who you are, cause i can get on stage with anyone, and outbang, dont doubt, please
go watch the movie, wattstax, if you can find it, get a picture of how things used to be, the suject matter addressed, nothings changed ppolitically other than the fact that the oppressors have fully funded the demise of culture, specifically in th blacks and latino commuities, witness the music for proof
while the weak artist, the laffy taffys the 50s etc, sell their people out doing the complete opposite of what minorities have worked to change
the message is anti human and is r3everse, like he equipment, it s obvious
the fast food and drugs in the food, as food is the biggest drug, has made peoples mind even more lazy, already growing up against the grain and counted out
the only hope at one point was music, and its inspiration good feelings
now
yeah
its politics, and djs, one of the last possible reinforcements against the poisoning of minds, are believing the hype, and in some cases practically forced to play something that sets people back 50 years, or lose their job
assuming people feel inspiration and a good feeling in their heart when they hear the most weakest produced and insanely negative messages, is jsut mindless
most people will reject it, like organic food into a body used to fastfood, but after a week, and after regaining senses, you will ask yourself, how did i ever not notice the effect and feelin it had on my body
people deal with the pain, and think its normal
i think some of you need to explore what
the law of attaction
is
were merely energy, and energy is neither created nor destroyed
the only other thing we know like that is god
the fact is, your god, and you can change the world with your thoughts, litterally
all thought scientifically mesaures bewteen 4-6khz, this is how all living things and the universe commuicates, this is why we flow, you have always been hear, we are simply energy
in other words, what you think, becomes
the challenge is to keep your thoughts on what you want not what you dont what
this is unbelievable to imagine for people
the struggle has always been for people to realize this metaphor which religion at one point attempted to explain
i urge everyon to test the waters
what we need now is positive music, and people to understand why sound is important, an understand the types of sound thats being used for and against our progress as people
there are plenty of studies on the science of sound, and its beneficial properties
to me, this is what mkes certain music, factually better than other music
this is science, its just how it is, and anything against it, ssetially goes against itself and tjhe energy around it
wht happens when people do that
and they cant recognize it
the body is the medium in which all sound is judged, the effect on the human body, physically, and spiritually, with its results proven on the effect of peoples thought patterns which can be measured
this is what its about, thus if a privately owned , shadily recorded mp3s, consolidated to a few mp3 providers, becomes the way music is distributed, then the fight to preserve these truths will only be that much more strenuous, because nothing will ever be hopeless
these things are rarely discussed, and when discussed, joked about by people who claim to be the professional distributors of sound, djs
sound vibrations is the deepest resonance of life, and people make the weakest songs, throw around low qulity everything, for a low energy monetary reasoning, and you wonder why people are so fucking out the game these days
doesnt have to be that way
it can be everyone doing their thing, in their own way with a common respect for ethics, and integrity of sound

You know.. I hate the fact that SSL has allowed the kid who has never dj's in a club b4 to go out a buy it... and Download all the newest DJ AM And Crooklyn Clan mash-up and suddenly be a local super star b/c he can play them back to back (without even beatmaching). But thats not the falt of the program b/c for those of us who have been DJ for any amount of time.. W know that dj's like that burn out quickly and who do the clubs turn to... the DJ's who have been doing it long enough to not burn out a crowd.
I love serato b/c it give us dj's who have been doing this long enough the ability to expand ourselves. Last night I was at the Grand opning VIP party for a new club that i have been doing lighting consulting for. The DJ there is a realy good friend of mine and he finaly got serato after 15+ years of only using vinyl and one very old CDJ-500 fortracks he didnt have on vinyl(wich were not many) or ones he remixed himself. So at the VIP party he was just going to let iTunes play a playlist of music b/c it was basicaly a staff party/ VIP guest party to celibrate there official grand opening on saterday. He didnt have any of his vinyl at the club yet b/c he was not going to be spinning live last night... but he desided to.. we had loaded like 300 tracks onto hiscomputer the other day... and he had never had a chance to practice with SSL... So he jumped right in and start using it.... after 15 mins of spinning (i was LJing beside him) he turned to be and said Searato is the best thing he has ever used!!!

did you guys watch that routine?
where he straight kills that shit?!
i feel his comments about serato and mp3s are just. i notice my real CD of DJ Shadow's entroducing sounds much better than the 192kbps rip i downloaded. needless to say i dont play the 192kbps rip (and did a much better job on my rip), but im sure there are some kids out there that do exactly that. download some shitty version of a track, think they struck gold, and then play it out. that shit does bother me as well.
or when i give a cd to a friend to burn and they import into Itunes (at like 128) and then take those imports and make the copy from those.... ! .. thats disgusting, and im scared for anyone that gets ahold of those copies. waste of good music IMO
most of the time. when you download a groups release they include in the info "if you like this buy it".
couldn't be truer
sound quality is huge, and what im all about. i completely understand where Ricci's coming from.
but i also see the need to have serato as another tool to aid in the musical journey.
I love serato.
wonderful tool. way too good a thing to pass up

Ruckazoid, if Serato is so bad and you have so much to say and do, why are you here? Don't you have albums to make, vinyl to press, etc.? I'm on a break from doing my work so I'm here but it seems like for a man with so much skill and enterprise going on, you would have much better ways to spend your time than drone on endlessly about being a vegan and how brainwashed we are. You will probably follow my post up with another endless drone but so be it. I would just really recommend writing me a letter on a typewriter instead though, you know since analog should never be sacrificed for digital convience.

Don't think Ricci's skills have ever been in question it's his beliefs and need to preach them to everyone thats always got up people noses.
It shouldn't you just gotta let him say his piece and agree or disagree.
or when i give a cd to a friend to burn and they import into Itunes (at like 128) and then take those imports and make the copy from those.... ! .. thats disgusting, and im scared for anyone that gets ahold of those copies. waste of good music IMO
most of the time. when you download a groups release they include in the info "if you like this buy it".
couldn't be truer
sound quality is huge, and what im all about. i completely understand where Ricci's coming from.
but i also see the need to have serato as another tool to aid in the musical journey.
I love serato.
wonderful tool. way too good a thing to pass up
what you gotta realise is that he's coming form a purely production/tablist view point.
it's funny cos he's over on Asis promoting the 08 "as hands down the best scratch mixer", a digital hybrid mixer so how does that equate.
one rule for y'all and one for him? hows that work?
at the end of the day Riccis always spoken his mind, thats just something people need to get used to, don't mean you have to listen or adhere to what he says. Just people do their thing and let others do theirs

i feel his comments about serato and mp3s are just. i notice my real CD of DJ Shadow's entroducing sounds much better than the 192kbps rip i downloaded. needless to say i dont play the 192kbps rip (and did a much better job on my rip), but im sure there are some kids out there that do exactly that. download some shitty version of a track, think they struck gold, and then play it out. that shit does bother me as well.or when i give a cd to a friend to burn and they import into Itunes (at like 128) and then take those imports and make the copy from those.... ! .. thats disgusting, and im scared for anyone that gets ahold of those copies. waste of good music IMO

I know he has skills. I respect that. And i respect his opinions, espically cause they are pretty valid. I do agree this is not the best place to be expressing them, unless he wants alot of people not agreein' with him. But yes, i know Ricci Kills it, i have a dvd(think it's a beatjunkies dvd) but ricci and the others in the group have a set on the special feature and kill it.

I still don't get the point of his posts... Is he retarded or something? Or just craving some much needed attention? I mean what's the point in going on an SSL forum to trash other DJ's that use SSL? Are you trying to convert us? Show us the light so that we stop using SSL and go back to real vinyl? Or maybe trying to earn respect by sharing his wisdom with us? I have no idea who this fool is, but he's obviously not earned much respect from his posts. I could never respect such an egotistical maniac like this dude. He's in dire need of some pu$$y... Somebody help this fool out!

i just see saying mp3 is a step backwards, does ssl support .flac? is flac not like a compressed/rar'ed wav, and lossless?

Ricci, out of all that I wrote you take the sarcastic point at the end about Laffy Taffy and address it then go off on a "War and Peace" tangent. What about the two points I brought up..one about Serato (if you have ever used it) and the other about the scarcity of vinyl which is one of the main reasons some of us "old school" DJ's converted to using this technology.
Again I understand your points, but I think as Monk A mentioned you are expressing them in the wrong forum.

Bored, the stupidity of some people outweighs the nerdiness of others. Last I checked, my nerdiness makes me work half as hard. I'll take it. BTW I don't care about your opinion, especially written in that half ass English that you keep typing. God my head hurts now, I need to call my psychologist.

If your head hurts, a tylenol may be a better option than a psychologist.

yo, tell this fucking herb to shut the fuck up. good night.
Actually I'll tell him. Yo, ruckazoid or richard rucker or who ever the fuck you are, shut the fuck up.
I for one do not care about anything that you are saying. If I wanted to be a different kind of DJ, I would be. If I wanted to be an arrogant, poor grammar using, whining, pseudo-fundamentalist ass like yourself. I would be. Fortunately for my friends and family, i'm not.
Fortunately I'm true to myself and to what I want to do. That being to help people enjoy themselves, groove to a good beat, and maybe get some ass after working a long hard, underpaid week. And that is exactly what I do. I myself have a fulltime day job where I use a college degree to help you better listen to your fucking "10 records that are coming out this year" in your car. By the way this is now accomplished digitally in good quality cars using optic cable...but that's another discussion. I doubt your listening to reel-to-reels in whatever hoopty you drive...but I disgress.
I work mad hours in my day job, and serato affords me to be able to do my hobbie, my second job (of choice) if you will, my labor of love, much easier and for that I say thanks to the RANE and Serato Crew. I know this program takes some serious dedication to produce and distribute.
I for one, care less about any of the under developed arguments which you attempted to put forward in this forum.
So i say again, will you please shut the fuck up?
good night.
ps. i did end up having the second cup of coffee and now i'm wired; typing this on my laptop in front of my decks. (standing up).
and i just scratched my balls.

i said it before (17,528 words ago) - everyone is entitled to their opinion. I'm sure a lot of people out there think that Serato sucks, and that's OK. We, the employees of Serato, are big kids and we can take it. Hell, people might even think our products suck too. I don't mind people debating the pros and cons of our products on these forums. I don't mind people straight out bashing our products on these forums (and for the record, I don't mind people praising competing products on these forums)
But I do mind people being rude to each other. And right now we have people doing just that. I don't have time to read through 17,528 words to find out who started it, so I'm locking this thread.
