Im confused with the whole episode, on this thread they are bragging about 40 years experience, yet on the other demanding auto gain because they can’t keep 2 tracks on the same level, all whilst not knowing the difference between DJ software and hardware firmware.
For my part… I use my little Akaï MPC One to add acapella in certain music of the Electro, House, Techno genre, to fill in the extended versions (Obviously… I don’t do it in any type evening, because a majority of customers prefer to hear the original soundtracks… Unfortunately, they are not open to the bootleg) and YES I have you too, that I use an occasional siren type intro sound, in order to give the alert at 2/3am that we are playing on more advanced music. (Thank you… for not throwing stones at me! lol)
The first software to introduce typical sounds: siren, scratch, Waouh… was VDJ in the 90s.
Im not against textures and effects being added as samples at all, its a great mixing technique… just not those cheesy one shots… ‘D D D D D DJ STU-Preme’ sort of nonsense:)
Greg Wilson uses a reel 2 reel tape player to layer them over his sets, and it sounds great.
