I assume they are saying basically who cares if you can dj because you can do so much more by just pushing buttons.

i was in a dj comp arranged through facebook by a local bar. a lad popped up on the group and asked if he could come with his laptop and do a set on traktor
pecker.
why, what is wrong with Traktor? Do you not like vinyl?

traktor pro is software... inless you get traktor scratch.
I'm an mp3j myself; i dont use Traktor (which i am assuming is a deck simulator?), but I really dont understand the hostility from vinyl djs to us . Pretty much the only difference is its less expensive and more versatile (if we are talking about using deck simulators, layering software aint nowhere near as good) and I'm unsure why the lad couldnt do his set on a deck simulator with mp3 controllers(requires the same amount of timing etc.)
Maybe someone could explain this to me?
i tried the demo of traktor to see what all of the fuss was about..
I couldnt really understand the thing, it was showing dnb having a bpm of 87 where clearly it isint.
The other thing I didnt like was the auto sync.. this would match any 2 - 4 tracks together completely in time by pressing one button. It was fun doing tripple/quadruple drops for about an hour but having a computer do it for you took the fun out of it.
Seeing the waveform was quite good, but if you know the songs well or generally know the structure of dnb/house/what ever then its not that usefull and in most songs you can easily guess where the drop is going to be.
one thing it is good for is mashing tunes together, like metal to dnb - that was quite fun, especially if you dont own a CDJ with 100% wide pitch.
Searching for a song was difficult (i may have been doing it wrong): it seemed that it would load up your itunes in the tinyest box possible with out a search option... so when you got 30gb of tunes it took ages to find a tune.
Then i bought a CDJ800 and i never thought about using traktor again....
