    Carl Craig is a fucking ...

    consumate mixer



















    on the laptop

    There I was thinking fuck this guy is amazing, and I kept telling my friend I haven't heard such great mixing in a while (besides Howells this year). The way the sounds were coming in was orgasmic. So I went up to see how many decks he was on. None, dude was using a Macbook Pro

    I got pics and video. But I will upload them in the morning. I need to smoke this nice phat joint and just close my eyes and replay the amazingness in my head.

      I hear he mixes a nice cocktail though.

      This release was mastered direct from vinyl at the request of the DJ and as such features natural sound characteristics of this medium such as record surface noise.

        I didn't know that about carl craig... good for him

        In the end the format doesn't matter , what matters is what comes out of the speakers.

          ^ I agree. Even if a laptop sets easier standards those who are talented will be above the average dj. It will be the same story as with digital/analog photography...

            So you're saying you were having a really great time, loved the music and the blend, yet when you found out he was using a laptop it ruined everything?

                I don't understand people that think this way... this reminds of a time when i invited a friend over to eat , and the meat was made out of soy bean , she being a hardcore carnivorous was enjoying it and didn't even notice

                when she was done i asked her what she thought about it ? and she said it was the most delicious thing she's had in a while , after i told her it was made out of soy bean she felt disgusted hahaha i can never forget the look on her face

                I think it's just a mind thing thats all

                  I wouldn't complain about the laptop djing if the music was good but the vinyl - cdj feel definteley gives you a different vibe especially in a club imo.

                      whaaaaat?
                      do any of you actually think before you type?

                      "its ok to enjoy the gig if the guy is using a laptop and he's a producer. But if he's not then I'm gonna stand here with my arms folded."

                        Well I'm not usually one to discriminate, but I was listening to the mixing and it was amazing (like I said in my first post), so my dissapointment at discovering it being done on a laptop is reasonable? The tunes were alright, I can't say the flow was all that great, but every mix was a long mix and blended so beautifully, he could've dropped any tune in that mix and he'd probably have pulled it off. I can't help feeling disappointed to discover the technical mastery wasn't done by hand.

                          You had a good time right? You go to clubs to have a good time, yes?
                          Now personally I prefer to DJ with vinyl when I am playing... I find Ableton boring and cdj isn't tactile enough. However, when I am in a club I have not got a care in the world what the music is being played on... My ears are the things that are tuned in... I could quite easily leave my eyes at home.

                          I really think you guys need to get your priorities right.

                            WHat...????
                            I read this and i find it hilarious , the vibe... are you guys serious ?

                            I'm pretty sure the guys that turned towards laptops and software in their dj'ing wisdom did it to improve their performance ... I suppose that laptops read crowds and chooses which tracks to put next and where to do the blend right? gimme me a break srly...

                            Digweed is going TRAKTOR this year ...so take that mofos'
