Haven't seen you in these parts for awhile Iceman. Having fun googling yourself on a Sunday evening ? Haha.

Seriously though, the button pushing digital crowd (myself included) around here sees a lot of negativity from the turntable/CDJ folks, so it is a bit of a lift to hear a DJ that started in the turntable era make that statement with such conviction.

So thanks!

"Allowing the computer to do one thing is only boring if you don't use the time that the computer saves you to do something else" - Ritchie Hawtin, in reference to using sync.

This definitely opened my eyes to the idea that automating some aspects of shows could actually increase my artistry, instead of making it "fake". Made me realize that ableton is the best performance platform for me.
