It's not b/s it's just our opinion of Dj's using ableton while Djing. I really don't think it's jealousy either I mean that doesn't even make sense nor does us being angry. It's not a fashion trend I don't have to feel cutting edge to get value from the records that I own nor would I begrudge anybody else for buying cheaper tracks.
All I'm saying is that I don't feel that you get the same strenght from a performance by Dj on ableton than you do on turntables.

And if the music was good the people you were playing to would have loved it because the music was good and ultimatley that should be enough. But I feel the more human interaction is removed the less a performance resonates with me and thats my personal opinion not the letter of law.

I really don't agree with you saying the scene is rotting from within either I mean off course other Dj's are going to be more critical about other Dj's performances that's the way it is in all walks of life. All musicians I imagine would be the same.

I certainly don't mean to be attacking you because you use ableton Rhtyhmtech so there's no need to get so defensive I haven't heard you Djing yet so I'll save my opinions of your perfromances unitl I see them.
