^^Yeah, big names have riders...They either have all their gear brought for them and set up, or the club/venue will get the gear for them.

But us pee ons have to do all this ourselves, unless we suck someone off.

I'm not a DJ- but hasn't this push towards digital been a long time coming? This should come as no surprise to anyone....

^^I don't know, but smoking gun has some very interesting ones....Some of these artists and their demands are so outrageous...I hope to never become what some of these people have become....

Re: Digweed says he's going to start using Traktor...

hey do you guys think they are gonna charge digweed for his copy of traktor?

[lilsensa]

Re: Digweed says he's going to start using Traktor...

if he is talking about how they are gonna show him how to use it, he is def not paying for a copy..

Re: Digweed says he's going to start using Traktor...

Well considering that the guy ALWAYS has his xone 92, which most clubs only get when these big dj's come to town...there shouldn't be any problems with them paying 300 clams to get traktor also. They can afford it.

why more clubs don't have the xone over the pioneer is mind boggling. the 92 shits all over the 800...

Re: Digweed says he's going to start using Traktor...

this may be a dumb question but does this mean he wont be using cdjs anymore and will be using a cpu to mix??

[lilsensa]

Re: Digweed says he's going to start using Traktor...

I tried Traktor on the laptop a few years ago...The one that was strictly used on laptop, no cdj's or decks....And it sucked....

Re: Digweed says he's going to start using Traktor...

no i think still using cdjs, just having all of his music on a laptop thats connected to the decks via traktor. and he'll be able to use traktor for some looping etc...

thats my understanding of it, anyways. i can't see him going to an ableton like thing where it beatmatches for him. not like he needs it...

Re: Digweed says he's going to start using Traktor...

if you have got one guy wanting to use serato and another traktor...could you possibly set both of them up beforehand? it would likely be a god-awful amount of cords behind the mixer, but i'm curious if it could be done. anyone?

As long as there are enough inputs on the mixer it is definitely possible. For example if you had....

1 DJ playing vinyl = 2 phono inputs
1 DJ playing CD's = 2 line inputs
1 DJ using Serato/Scratch using control CD's = 2 ADDITIONAL line inputs
1 DJ using Serato/Scratch using control vinyl = 2 ADDITIONAL line inputs

So in order for this to be setup before the show the mixer would need
2 phono inputs
6 line inputs

Anything is possible with the right equipment.
