Agreed about the need for DJ's to listen to what other DJ's are playing; but some actually still need to told they shouldn't play a song a second time just because they missed hearing the first dj play it but they still want to hear it. Also, overplayed in a scene doesn't necessarily mean the local...

Re: Clearing The Floor
OK - so for clarification, when I said clearing the floor, I didn't really mean completely clearing it, I meant a positive strategy of reducing the numbers on a packed floor. I guess a packed floor is self-limiting in a way because dancers stay away or leave the floor if it's too crowded, not enoug...

I've noticed this too.The busier and noisier the dance floor, the less noticeable recording noise is. True. Sound is logarithmic, so like earthquakes, there has to be a lot more of it to start to make a difference when it's not already quiet. I'd just worry about the signal to noise ratio on the or...

Perhaps, if DJs looked up from the screen more? Perhaps, if DJs looked up from their book of CDs more? Perhaps, if DJs looked up from their crate of vinyl more? Definitely. The misperception is that DJs are good listeners to know all that music, but the universal truth is that they need to look at ...

Other than the McLuhan aspects of the medium being the message, I agree with you. In essence, it seems like what we're really talking about here is song selection, not how songs are selected. Either that, or we're talking about deejays that just don't aren't using their technology to it's potential....

WE GET IT. you've made your point. bad djs are bad. now look what you've made me do. and i thought i was the calm one that didn't rant on this board. *grumble*grumble* Sorr...

DJing is not going back to being CD based. Not going to happen. That is reality. It will keep up with technology. I think there is still a need to have CD players for requests and as back-up if the laptop fails, but there will be a time where the CDs bays are no longer needed, that day might not be...
