well i have made electronic music for about 4 years (little more actually) and been into the music for about 6 years. And now i have decided that i have to learn how to dj so that i can offer both a live show and a dj set (prolly gets more gigs) but since i can´t really afford two decks and a real mixer i decided to use what i the stuff i already have ie my laptop. So i got myself a copy of Traktor (liked that software best) and started to learn how to mix. after about six months i could put together a pretty decent set (not just my opinion a guy i know who has been dj @ docklands also thougth so) well anyway i have gotten a lot of shit from diffrent dj´s who almost refuse talking to me about dj stuff just because i use a laptop. Some say it is to easy to learn how to dj on them (automatic beat matching automatic bpm calculation automatic syncing of bass drums on tracks) So i lied about my mixtape to a some people (said i had made it with two decks when it actually was just vinyls that i had recorded and then encoded to mp3) and then a got a much much warmer welcome until i told them that it was a mp3 set with Traktor ofcourse then they all claimed to have heard somthing wrong with it. Can some one plz explain why dj´s act this way?

You can definitely call what I do "NOSEPICKIN." It's been said I'm something of a prodigy in that area... maybe even a bona-fide virtuoso...=)

"techno" as in "technology" or as in "technophobic"?

don't techno for an answer/ants in your pants or you're that good a dancer?

ahem.. i'll just add for anyone reading who doesnt know, if you signup choosing 'deejay' user type from the selector, then you can add some streaming dj sets in lo-fi bandwidth.. you can add quite a long mix 40 minutes say depnding on bandwidth, ok sorry to butt in but y'know, mebbe some people lurking might not know about it... good thread btw

some of those might be done with traktor and not 'decks' so you should call 'em nosepickin sets or mixdawg sets but not dj* sets.

any mixes i've done for dt have been done in cheatin' wavelab.

technofear it is, no doubt. funny, for a music that likes to think of itself as futuristic, 909 808 303 say no more.

^ like that?

something smart? disk jockey. with a 'k' instead of a 'c,' as in 'hard disk.'

no offense dis but that's the beauty of language.. it adapts.

as for me, the first person that says "i'm a mixdog" in my proximity is going to receive a concussion.
