Tag team/b2b
Posted on: 31.03.2013 by Sonja Roybal
When everyone was still playing vinyl, tag teaming was some of the most fun I had mixing. Everyone brought their records with them everywhere, to a party, to a show, to a friend's house. The gear was static. You just needed records. Those were some of the best times I've had. We would always play 3 records a piece and go back to back. Now that we're all digital, we all have to play off one person's laptop. We have to play from the same library. That's one thing I really miss about vinyl. Is there any way around it I'm not aware of?

Traktor has both tempo fader and pitch bending.. What are you without? :P I would believe the latencies of different soundcard settings, or if you sync them via midi and something is off beat then compensating with Midi latency for beat matching would be the only pitfall, but ive yet to experience something like that yet. ::knock on wood::

Each person uses their own Laptop? Thumb Drive? Sure beats a crate of records in my book lol
