[QUOTE="Pascal.Pincosy, post: 97714, member: 15"] Re: Meyer Leo Go see a real DJ play. Someone like Carl Cox (on 4 decks) or Ritchie Hawtin or RJD2. Stand behind them on stage so you can see very clearly what they are doing. There's no press play and fist bump Deadmau5 bullshit going on. Yes, there are a ton of dance music posers out there going through the motions or mixing synced tracks with Abelton Live or Traktor. But there are also many many DJ's and live electronic performers who's skills are simply amazing. I know a ton of DJ's of a wide variety of talent. I have spent a lot of time behind the decks myself (before I started my sound company and still had time for things besides work and sleep) and I can tell you that mixing on 4 turntables or CDJ's without sync is REALLY REALLY hard! Honestly even just consistently beat-matching 2 decks with smooth mixes is not so easy, and I've heard plenty of top DJ's slip up on occasion. That being said, the true sign of an incredible DJ is track selection. A great DJ will read the crowd and play the track that the dance floor needs to hear in that moment. And that kind of performance will rarely be seen on a big stage where a flawless preselected set of greatest hits is expected. For a truly interactive dance music experience you will usually need to go to the seedy dark nightclubs that feature underground talent. [/QUOTE]
