This is OLD news, for everything you hold dear in your life, be it your job, your djing, the way you can cook, the way you make love to your partner...there is ALWAYS something which can do it too. And better. Welcome to life.
Cole Maroto 01.01.2013	Originally Posted by sobi This is where it's heading. Sorry, but club owners can save a lot of money using these over DJ's. Once the algorithms have improved on itunes genius type playlisting actions, why should the majority of bars, clubs, and lounges waste money on local DJ's when a piece of software will do basic mixing when the majority of patrons really don't know the difference anyhow. I'd like to believe the majority of people can, but lets be honest... we have a billion and one talentless celebridee-jays getting gigs, and tons of large artists not even mixing and being paid top shelf wages. The typical club patron and music consumer is happy with drek. If they weren't, people like Guetta, Beiber, and Carly Rae Jepson wouldn't be the most popular, and popular is what drives money. because there is something about the experience of seeing a dj do his/her thing live whether or not you like them or their drek. most djs have at least a small built in fan base that they can bring along which adds some business. i can't really imagine patrons commenting on how awesome ComputerProgram237888774 was at mixing tunes together last evening . unless they actually have a physical robot body. dancing ceylon djs? yes please. plus, this can already be done with pre recorded sets on cd, a phone, or a laptop...it is already that way in bars and lounges everywhere. i see iphones running pandora through a mixer channel when places don't have any djs slotted. so anyone who doesn't care about seeing a dj probably won't care about the difference of a cd playing or software making choices while "mixing." the people who do care probably won't be attending.

Did you even watch the video on how bad the mix in was? Guetta is the only person u mentioned that is even a producer/dj? LOL The average bad club could get away with that but until I hear a good mixin from an auto program, djs will have there spot to shine.

Galina Mancinas 03.01.2013	Honestly I could very well see a gen 2 version of this tech, coupled with the "Stream from your Smartphone!!!" tech they've recently rolled out with the latest Pioneer gear being used together as some form of DJ Replacement in bars\clubs. Allow it to take requests from the audience, perhaps even set up some kind of voting system for what track gets played next, "BABY, pull your phone out and vote for the new Guetta\Calvin Harris\Pitbull\Rihanna Re-Mash so no more yucky "Techno" comes on!" Of course it won't replicate what a DJ actually does, but as time moves forward I'm realizing that there's a LARGE and GROWING contingent of clubbers that don't care what a DJ does. For that matter, they're kind of miffed by what a DJ does. "Why should this one guy up there get to pick what all of us have to listen to? I just want him to play MY jams." That attitude is really what's at the heart of all the recent "DJ-*** got kicked off the decks at VegMiamiUberClubO-Matic1749!" These places are a different kind of club which cater to a different type of clubber in a different type of world. The experience is about looking good, being seen, balling, bottle-service, clubbing to get good Facebook pictures, etc. This crowd doesn't care about being taken on a musical journey, they don't care about artistic integrity, breaking ground, etc. They want to hear big, formulaic, anthemy choons with vocals they know. They want accessible music like they hear on the radio, but bottle service too. And trust me, THAT crowd would be more than content to have an auto-dj that's content to play whatever trite BS gets voted to the top of its list. Thankfully there are still small sweaty rooms dropping real underground xit for real heads, and presumably will be for some time. The people that care won't be won over by gimmicks, and will continue to want the goods.

Ok Moroski 01.01.2013	OP - to clarify my previous comment, this is aimed at the car audio market. If you can mix while you drive, more power to you. Aside from that, the material makes it look just like the auto-crossfade/cruise BS that's been in iTunes/Traktor for years, with MAYBE an echo freeze or something thrown over the top. I can just about guarantee it's going to sound JUST as mediocre as those, but with a higher price tag 'cause... Pioneer. TL;DR - I ain't mad at it.
Halley Wurzer 01.01.2013	Originally Posted by Coldfuzion The whole point is.... I feel like DJ'ing is a misunderstood art form. I agree for the most part. Some people understand it though. My friend recently had a little get together where there was turntables and a mixer. I ended up DJing for quite a while and of course a bunch of girls were like do this play this blah blah blah. So I just told a few of them to play it themselves. Needless to say, after a few minutes of attempting to 'mix,' they had a new respect for the art.

Pasty Vancor 01.01.2013	Originally Posted by Coldfuzion The whole point is.... I feel like DJ'ing is a misunderstood art form. Well thanks to mainstream media it looks like being a superstar DJ is the new thing. But I love this art and the only people who stick around will be the ones who understand how precious and rewarding this truly is when you can express you're self in such a unique way.

Pasty Vancor 01.01.2013	Wut? Mixing tracks is the most enjoyable part about Dj'ing even as a bedroom DJ. It feels so rewarding to make 2 tracks blend seamlessly together to form a complete new track. So why the hell do I need a computer program to do it for me!!! Mixing is what makes what I do FUN!
Dannielle Dingey 01.01.2013	Originally Posted by Coldfuzion My point to the whole thing was that it's becoming so mainstream and everyone (maybe just around where I live?) and their mom is a DJ, that this is what it's coming to. I myself am relatively new to the entire scene but I feel like it's more of a novelty rather then doing it for the love of music. Also I love hearing mixes with tracks i've never heard before - especially those tracks that you actually have to dig around Sound Cloud and what not for. Don't get me wrong, I also play tracks from the Beatport top 100 but I love finding tracks and playing tracks that are not up there. Edit: The whole point is to take the listener on a journey. Not fucking just ... idk. Novelties wear off fast and again, nothing new here... The dj-gimmick is running for a long time now and cheap gear & gizmo's have attracted the masses. This was not the case when you had to invest in 2 expensive SL's, a mixer, cans and loads of vinyl before you could start spinning. Is that a bad thing ? I don't believe so, dj-ing should be for everyone that enjoys music and wants to do creative stuff with it. It should not matter what gear you use, what clothes you wear, how old you are or how much cash is in you bank account... Dj's are not special / elite / better then the rest.

Halley Wurzer 31.12.2012	Call me crazy but I wouldn't mind having my favorite new tracks mixed for me. Having them mixed right away means I don't have to skip through the boring long intro / outro drums. Whatever; I'm certainly not going to buy one, but i'm not really upset by this whole thing. And before someone says something, I don't have time to record a mix every time I get five new tracks I really like.
