Why DJs choose Midi controllers poll Posted on: 07.11.2011 by Petrina Copelan I would like to just get an idea about why djs choose to use midicontrollers. Portability Creativity Ease of use Price

I work for two clubs and they do not even book djs who use controllers unless it

Cristobal Madhavan 10.11.2011	Originally Posted by MrPopinjay Actually I'd interested in how much the sound card in the CDJ1000s cost... +1 id say that about the 2000s as well. I do know the D/A converters on a 1000 are second to none, as in second to rane/A&H.
Cristobal Madhavan 10.11.2011	lots of, um, information in here. pioneer is overpriced, id hardly say garbage. same talk of technics in their heyday. they used to cost way more than any other turntable and people talked crap, AND people paid it just like they
Dorie Scelzo 09.11.2011	Originally Posted by oliosky good lord. Mostapha, do you ever believe that effort you put into your ridiculously verbose prose might be better directed somewhere else? Yeah, but people look at me weird when I bring Maschine into work. There's a reason I only post 9-5 Eastern time and in the middle of the evening on weekdays. Either I don't have anything else to do at work or I can't sleep (and can't make noise because I live in an apartment and there's nothing going on in Atlanta

Cristobal Madhavan 10.11.2011	Ok
Kiyoko Wellisch 10.11.2011	CDJ200s are terribad and you can get a good sounding sound card for less than 400$, that's fo sho.

Yong Aptekar 09.11.2011	Lol thank you sir. This place is funny, part of the reason I spend more time at work on here than I do actually working.
Kiyoko Wellisch 09.11.2011	It was a good joke ;D
Yong Aptekar 09.11.2011	My apologies to anyone that almost raged on my post, just pure sarcasm. Anyone who has read my posts know I love the fact that there are 100s of ways to mix music, and all mediums. I love you guys here, this community has been the biggest help getting into djing. But man, do these threads degrade quick lol. Its the internet gentlemen, no need to blow a fuse just because someone has a different opinion. The speakers don't know if you are using cdjs, tts, midi, or 3 tapedecks wired together through a mixer.

Yong Aptekar 09.11.2011	Lol its one of those sarcastic mornings at work. I love my controllers, and I LOVE my TTs more, just not as portable or light lol I'm glad you didn't rage on me

Odis Stirewalt 09.11.2011	would made this poll multichoice. i would check all 4 and add another points like getting more paid and have his artistname written in doublesize on the flyer just because you use a midicontroller+ableton and call it LIVE when you make your DJ job with ableton ^^
Johnetta Olewine 09.11.2011	good lord. Mostapha, do you ever believe that effort you put into your ridiculously verbose prose might be better directed somewhere else? On topic, for me, controllers were something that sort of morphed from spending a bit of time trying to dj with ableton live some years ago and became my dj tool of choice after spending a year on the road travelling. I like the customisation, and the exciting new things that are available when djing with software.
Dorie Scelzo 09.11.2011	This is going to be long
Misti Depa 08.11.2011	portability, price, and creativity. Although id like to have a set of turntables for my home setup
Hazel Oeschger 08.11.2011	Price and portability. To be honest, I'm not interested in putting 3000+
Darcey Mens 08.11.2011	Portability and creativity for me. Knowing I can take one backpack to a gig if needed and being able to do virtually anything I want on my setup are two key points for me.
Arlinda Finazzo 08.11.2011	I no longer "professionally" dj, after playing local raves and clubs for 5 years... I've fallen out of the scene mostly due to family and work. It's gone from club dj, to bedroom hobby (for the love of interacting with house music). So I sold my expensive setup of CDJ 1000's and the DJM-500, and downgraded to a nice compact all-in-one setup (the Vestax TR-1) with Traktor Pro 2. I might upgrade towards the Traktor Kontrol S2... I would like full control of the sample decks and I actually do miss the jog wheels (without them I tend to rely on auto-sync, even though I easily beatmatched with vinyl and cdj's for years).
Delmar Swamy 08.11.2011	This is becoming interesting gets my popcorn
Kiyoko Wellisch 08.11.2011	Actually you're right. Sorry about that. His post made no sense. Buy an S4 AND traktor pro? Buy a midifighter AND padkontrol? Redundancy much? I don't see why you'd need more than an S4 anyway. That and a super powerful macbook is hardly required for a bit of djing...
