A DJ iPod?

[jaredbbauer]

I own Club Impulse

Look, I own a very large club in SLC, and we use nothing but mac products. for those of you who say you would not like a dj who uses mp3's over vinyl you are dumb as a brick! The amount of technical items you can do with an mp3 far exceeds that of a cd or a record...

We actually use ipods right now as back up in case something happens to our house dj's.

I think this would be a great idea!

Some people will have to be hit over the head time and time again until they will see the usefulness of such technology.

I have to mention DeKstacy since it's easier to use than Tracktor, it's free and the folks who wrote it know their s**t. All you need is a powerbook and some mp3s and you can start mixing as only the best djs in the world can (3 decks, 4 decks, external drum machines, etc. all in sync...). Of course, you still have to know what sounds good...

Thanks alot for the tip.

My pleasure! BTW, forgot to mention that it's OS X only. But of course, the cool djs wouldn't use pcs anyway

I use PCs as well as Macs. But was happy to see it was OS X and not stuck back on OS9. I guess I'm only half cool.

This is just not true. There are alot of people using PCs to make music. Just look in Computer Music magazine and Future Music magazine.

Hmm, funny! ;-)

Pitch and speed-shifting was *exactly* in a lengthy email about possible improvements to the iPod i mailed to Apple about a week ago! ;-)

I'm not ****ting you.. I have deja vue all over here!..

If they add a BMP-counter, Sherlock-integration, ogg-Support and a Filebrowser, too, you definately know they did read my email! ;-)

and I thought noone wants this stuff? Where did you e-mail, so I can send it as well?

 

[bennetsaysargh]

i know that there are djs that use pcs, but usually people who are creative, like djs, use creative comuters

also, before i forget...

oh no! they changed something in the matrix!

Ok...then I must be doing something other than being creative when I use my PC. The software is what allows you to be creative, not the hardware...unless you are one of those that think newer PCs crash every five minutes...which, mine do not (nor does my mac).

sorry if it was taken that way. im not saying anything about you or any other dj direclt, i guess i meant to say that most people on OS X use it for very creative jobs. not saying that pcs are uncreative, just that mac is more so.

sorry about that.

Fair enough. I'm not a DJ either...more of a beat maker. But I use some DJ programs. I would love to see this iPod.

ipods for pros....

iPods for DJs are cool, however i wish apple released an iPod with a real time recording/encoding feature.

it'd be great to record a live set straight to the ipod, and listen it later or drop it into iTunes, or be able to edit it ....

this would be an AMAZING feature!

every musician/DJ/performer would benefit.

apple, if you're there... knock!!
