You can store files locally! Djay Pro has come a long way on this front... (imo library management was unusable on Djay about a year ago but now works great perhaps to upgrades to both iOS and Djay). Files works great in Djay. You can also load in your iTunes library similarly which might be the way to go for larger libraries. Serato is still better for various reason, but this is a solution.
Got a tip for us?

Don't feel bad, a degree wasted indeed. Comparing mixing with producing. Good one.

Started on vinyl and ended up on this crap. Good for you.
I couldn't agree more. While on one level I am hugely impressed with the technology, as an ex-artist, this sickens me. I used to put a huge amount of effort into creating my music and crafting it as a whole piece. Then something like this comes along and allows people to just pull it to pieces and then try and "make it their own". Don't get me wrong, I know that remixes do the same thing, but that is with permission, and normally with artist approval...not just some random person who takes the hard work of an artist and then appropriates it to show how "talented" they are!

"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should."
Did I say that? Different tools for different purposes. Sorry you only have one color in your crayon box.
DJ’s and producers using all the original lines levelled at them by traditional musicians, towards DJ’s and producers using different tech. You have to laugh really.
‘Why don’t you use real records instead of this digital nonsense?’
‘Why don’t you use a real synth instead of a VST’
‘Can’t believe you use a PC. I still use an ST’
‘Why don’t you just get a guitar and play your own music?’
Hilarious.

Pretty sure that neither of the posts you quoted said they had no interest in the app. They were both commenting on the subscription nature of it, which they wouldn't have known until they read the article, which they couldn't have done until they clicked on it!!
I am of much the same opinion regarding subscriptions. I think that SaaS is a horrible model. I completely understand why companies prefer it but I think they should still offer a one-time fee, even if that is equivalent to 2 years of subscription, simply because so many of these subscription platforms rely on regular "authorisation" which means that if, for whatever reason, the Dev shuts down, the software probably stops working a month later. Whereas if I purchase the software, it will probably continue working for a good few years (OS updates aside which, in many cases, aren't absolutely necessary).
EDIT: This place is becoming so ridiculous!! I get a thumbs down because I pointed out a fact (that other users hadn't done the thing that they were being accused of...a fact...a provable fact!!! Or was it because I stated that, even though I understood why developers preferred it, I preferred an alternative model, an ownership rather than a renting model!! How brazen of me!!

I'm interested in hearing your original productions. What do you use, logic, protools? I use logic when I'm creating original music myself.

Exactly. When you don't have actual talent you have to cut down the folks who in order to feel elevated.
That would be cool if it was your only expense. But it's not, it's yet another expense, and in this case a rent. A rent that continues on and on and on......... Imagine if every single little piece of hardware and software you used cost $5/month, how much profit would you make then? Most would be making a loss dude.

Get a guitar and make real music mate
That's deep.

Oh I couldn't play squat, I'm just a proud parent but hey! my opinion shouldn't stop anyone from feeling "pro" at all. Enjoy your day.

Elevated as in U2's song?
Impressive assumption capabilities right there. This app suits you fine.
I wish you a higher level of elevation the rest of your day. Regards.
No, not really. Festivals, yes.
I did see someone fooling around with an iPad on stage at a hipster bar in Pittsburgh though.
Just throwing back the stones that were thrown at me, but alas this conversation is trite. I'm sorry if I hurt feelings.
Happy for people who use turntables. Happy for people who use cdjs. Happy for people who use software. I use all three in different circumstances. If you don't see the value in being able to quickly pick up an iPad and mess around with a couple tracks on the fly in a moments notice, then so be it. If you only champion one solution, that's fine. Are you having fun? Is the music good? If the answer to those two questions is yes, then you're winning. Cheers!
oh no, not you, I’m talking about the vinyl snob in the thread. i totally agree with you!
