the headphone socket?Originally Posted by DannyBlack
just joking danny :-)
Seriously tho.. its all Marketing.. same as they doing with video game consoles, everyone buys one, then they bring out the next one which is the same but with a few more little functions..
MEGADRIVE>PLAYSTATION>PLAYSTATION 3 etc
VHS > DVD> BLURAY
CASSETTE>VINYL>CD>MP3>??
DM600>DJM700>DJM800 etc..
Its just about money and hype and making people think they'll be missing something if they don't upgrade.. Cheap knob gags and novelty value.. i agree with keeping it simple.. keep the focus on the tracks you're playing.. not playing rubbish tracks and trying to veil the rubbish in a load of effects and jiggerypokery.. my 2pence and i admit , i might have written all this without even looking at the damn thing,...

I've now looked at it and it DISGUSTS me.. really.. its SO FAR from the point: playing and presenting music.. it looks like it's made for people to fiddle with and wank with cos they're not actually into the tunes they're playing and they need to have something else to do to alleviate their boredom.

This, kind of. Originally Posted by wrong

The effects aren't as shiny as the 2000 but functional in my eyes (You have Effect Lock / On / Off Switches independant to each channel now on the 909) and other nice turntablist style features - Pioneer DJM-909
It does have some wanky shit like the touch screen for effects and visual x fader and fader curve as well as effect selection (which i think is actually useful in a dark place) and also 3 bands to apply effects to, but i've not really used it as much as proper decks mashup styleeness.
I suppose everyones view on demands on functionality are different, hence the different styles in mixes we are all in to.
I suppose the way i see it as, if folk are going to that much trouble to buy a 2000pound mixer for there technic or pioneer decks then why are they learning to do something with the decks as well as the mixer? Otherwise just stop wasting your time playing other peoples stuff and start playing live :D

What I've never understood about effects is that some very tallented producer has spent time constructing and polishing his track to the best of his ability, then some Dj with **** all production skill thinks that he can improve the track by layering cheap FX over the top? Makes no sense to me.
I am all for creative effects used in interesting ways to create something new. But this is always best done live.
Anyway, give me a decent scratch mixer over that any day.
I think the main thing manufacturers need to be looking at is making a standardised interface protocol for laptops to be plugged into the mixers. This way it then becomes a personal choice which software to use and will make the transition to full digital a lot easier for Dj's.
