any thoughts on the game?
at first i thought you would like be able o mix your own songs and shit but i guess thats not how it goes and that the mixes are already made to work out well and require no skill.
     but i think the whole turntable guitar hero concept is pretty cool.

i thought it was really fun, making beats would require more skill, but its a game trying to appeal to more people and most people arn't going to have the attention span to do that.

i thought it was really fun anyway, just scratching and feeling like the man

dj hero is sick, you cant make your own songs, but i mean the idea is that technically you can with different samples, and changing the pitch. I like it just cause all the songs, the mixes for the game are dope, grandmaster flash dj jazzy dj am and several others made a majority of the mixes and they're dope.

its a piece of shit. it doesnt even make sense. in order to actually mix one would need two tables to fade between two tracks. its stupid and embarrassing and now kids think theyre djs cuz they downloaded Virtual DGay after playing DJ Hero and think theyre hot shit when they fade between tracks sans beatmatch.

sorry for the hate but seriously. i guess its no better for guitar players and guitar hero. though that game actually takes some skillz.

yea guitar hero takes muuuuuuch more skill than this game. if you have any hand eye coordination whatsoever you'll be on expert in a matter of songs. even rock band is a joke compared to GH.

lol I kinda agree with you, buuut ive done sets with just one deck. You can do it with torq/serato/etc.
Ive also done sets with just one cdj and a mixer, using the sampler to loop the last song, change cds, and mix into it.

But yep, when I use to spin at the puma store every friday, you couldnt imagine all the kids that would come up to me and be like YEAH MAN I GOT VIRTUAL DJ IM THINKING OF STARTING TO SPIN AT CLUBS AND SHIT

yeah yeah but thats getting technical and clearly not a representation of the bullshit that goes on that game.

ive seen so many kids try and get gigs at the club i play at. its sad honestly. they walk in acting like hot shit with their sticker slapped macs but freeze as soon as they see 4 channels and 4 decks. "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN ITS NOT ON ANY OF THE VIRTUAL DJ SKINS WTF OMG??!?!"

2MANYDJS.

^their sets are incredible by the way. craziest shit ive ever heard.

lol yeah, ive never gotten a club gig by annoying someone. like yesterday some random guy that works for a local top 40 station asked if I wanted to spin at a club in april. I have been out of djing for like 4 months, yet somehow he knew

lol I have a strict no teenager policy, after doing a high school dance. I wanted to gauge my eyes out.
Yeah ive done a few clubs and stuff, and it was always them asking me, never did I send a demo or anything. demos are worthless 90% of the time
