Re: MacBook Air 13'' for DJing?

I still have some questions: I would probably go for the 8GB RAM, 256 GB SSD with 1.4 GHz Dual-Core i5 processor. Should be enough, I guess!? Will a display resolution of 1440x900 be sufficent for Traktor LE? I've read, that the automatic BPM recognition in Traktor messes up most of the time and cu...

Re: MacBook Air 13'' for DJing?

Hello everybody I'm planning to buy a new laptop for DJing and the MacBook Air 13.3'' now striked my attention. As far as I can judge, it would fulfill my requirements: I would mainly need it for DJing and so I would go for the 256GB SSD. Does anybody have experiences with this device for DJing? Is...

Re: Where are the swing DJ discussions these days?

Re: Where are the swing DJ discussions these days?

Stand-alone discussion boards certainly seem to be a dying breed. I think it's the medium, not the subject matter. From my perspective, it seems like most discussions have shifted to and are scattered across Facebook (and other social media sites?) and are next to impossible to refer back to. I thin...

Re: Mitch Capone Bad Blood Album

I disagree. This album is not quite the "bread and butter" of what the members typically discuss here on SwingDJs, but there are a few swinging numbers featured that might interest some DJs here. I'm personally digging "Shake This City" (and the relaxed blues shuffle of "Lif...

Re: mosaic sets

I concur on the catchiness of Megan Trainor's "All About That Bass". Jesse I watched it when the other poster mentioned it. So - what's the rush on that? She looks good is all. jOhn Just a super-catchy and positive current pop song. If that's not your thing, you might enjoy this jazzier v...

Re: mosaic sets

Completely non-Mosaic-related, but I concur on the catchiness of Megan Trainor's "All About That Bass".

But I'm all for Mosaic-quality whenever I can get it.
