We’ve all been there: you get your gear set up with plenty of time to spare, and you don’t know what half the stuff does. 2manybuttons?
Right?
… *shifty eyes*
Riiiight?
I don’t know about you, but I’d happily have the controller that can open and close the lift doors on command.
The video might be poking fun at button overload in the DJ booth, but as we’ve seen recently, there’s still underlying tension between old and new school. Clearly the fact this video exists means there must be at least some thought in the general public that the mass of gear is just for show?
What I suspect is that people liken live EDM shows to bands of old (and new… I’m off to see Counting Crows tonight!) where each member of the band has an instrument they specialise on. When electronic musicians have all their gear laid out, quite a lot of it is designed for very specific uses in the music/lights, and may even be used only once. And with the use of modern computers syncing everything, one person can keep track of a heck of a lot more than a band.
Can you identify all the gear in the video? Tell us your horror stories about your DJ brain farts while spinning!
Looks like my table at home, minus the tempest. Now I need a Tempest….and that controller that launches missiles.
Mocking today’s overabundance of awesome gear? Psh. Can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen! I love all my tools and I’ll never have enough :)
“Is that all you’ve got? Amateurs” said Ray.
Awesome!
It shows alot of self confidence to make fun of yourself and what you do.
2:34 LOL
ahhahahahahaha
That is. When it comes about djing the best /safest/more effective way to entertain a crowd is 2 decks and a mixer…that said, if you want to do fireworks and trickery at home you are allowed to do so…quite funny if you ask us but it doesn’t work in a dancefloor because YOU are the only one that knows what’s happening therefore the only one that gets all the fun…
Norwegian humor :) Here is another one from this guys :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6p_RrIA_Alc
If you can’t read, you don’t know what all the buttons do. I never had that kind of problem. And my setup is growing all the time since I started to make live remixes and went more in live act.
