Members Kevin T Posted March 24, 2013 Members Share Posted March 24, 2013 I was lurking on a DJ site & caught a thread about ( Get This) complaints that Real "artist" DJs don't use backing midi sequences etc. to "lipsync" their performance . Scheeesh now they cant even scratch in real time ! I have definately stayed too long at the fair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StratGuy22 Posted March 24, 2013 Members Share Posted March 24, 2013 Yeah but huge DJ shows have elaborate light shows etc, that are synced to what the DJ is doing. So they sacrifice spontaneity as a result. Its ok though, the E-Tards will never notice anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TrickyBoy Posted March 24, 2013 Members Share Posted March 24, 2013 So what you'r saying is DJ replaces band, computer replaces DJ... Seems like a logical progression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sweatpat Posted March 24, 2013 Members Share Posted March 24, 2013 The question is, what replaces computer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Lee Knight Posted March 24, 2013 Moderators Share Posted March 24, 2013 I love how the cover band set gets mad at the original band set for disrespecting what they do. And then turn around and slam DJs. I'm sure you can easily find justification for it that'll make you fell better about what you do but its equally as rediculous. Playing in a band is not some pinnacle of artistic credibility and same for being a DJ. We're all just sharing music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether it's a talent worth five digit sums for one performance is another question for another topic.... but there is talent and skill involved. And as we musicians have learned.. any time anything takes talent and skill, someone will find a cheap, quick, and dirty way to get the accolades for it without the effort.
