DJ not a musician.. crappy button pusher. Not able to operate musical instrument. Many songs patronise DJ to encourage them to play their crap.. "hey Mr DJ.. play ma favourite song.." etc etc..

not a musician but requires some skill.

>>213143112
The timing of the next song? hahaha "skill"

Get fucked

>>213143112
Oh get that stick out your ass you faggot

>>213143112
If talent = 0, then DJ potential = high.
Just add hat and huge headphones, honkey or black, you'll be cool to a moronic demographic..

>>213143998

>>213143790
to get the stick out his ass

>>213144533
So what you're saying is any faggot with virtual dj can be a good dj? really? are you fucking retarded?

>>213143112
Haha defending button pusher?? "I know how to EXACTLY press the buttons at the right time.. and synchronise two melodies together... I'm very, very cool"

My cat could do that..

try to manage more than 2 songs at once all going same tempos faggots. and make it sound good.

there's only a few good dj's stfu saying everyone can do it maybe they can but they fucking suck

>>213143112
Wow.. managing other people's music.. that's like being recognised as a 'slide show controller' or something..
Next photo.. transitioned riiiiiiiiight in at the perfect time.. *does a nigger yo mamma move*

Most Dj's make their own music.
well good ones

Professional DJ here. The tricky part is not the technical aspects, though that's what people who don't know any better think of.

The tricky part is picking the right songs at the right time, with an enormous amount of distractions.

DUBSTEP FUCKERS

>>213146895

truth, a good DJ has to have a certain amount of flexibility and enough insight to 'read the crowd' , not a skill easily learned

also agree if u dj and don't make ur own music too then ur just a poser

Lots of shitty DJ's ex radio DJ's give us a bad rap, but true djing is an artform as high as any musical instrument. They have any song ever written or performed at their disposal and controlling atmosphere and energy of a party is difficult at best. Turntablists are even more fucking crazy, in which case it takes just as much talent to do than to play the guitar or any other instrument. Don't knock it 'till you try it.

Making your own music is not modifying someone else's. There is no instrument involved, just a pre-existing song you rape, pillage and call your own.

DJ wikky waaa waa wikky wikky waaaaaaa *rolls eyes*

Exactly...many of the original great DJs -- the ones who shaped the whole culture -- didn't even beatmatch/use EQ/etc at all.

>>213146831
DJs how makes him own music != DJ
= Producer

moron

>>213147396

Again, this is only what people who don't know better say.

if you argue against this you are a sad fucker in deep denial

This cunt is on the money.. if you don't understand the words, take a look at the picture he posted.

>>213145676
as long as the buttons you are pushing are on a mac its considered art

Everybody can bedroom dj

But not everyone knows the good tracks

Of course there a shitload of DJs.

>>213148107
who ever posted that...

Respect

>>213147874
Someone's butthurt because he downloaded virtual dj and didn't know how to use it. lol
Do what these guys do then come and talk shit faggot

A DJ who doesn't make his own music isn't a professional DJ, IMO. No, it doesn't take a lot of talent to push a couple of buttons at a club, it just takes the right amount of money to purchase said equipment.

Now, a person who does that and mixes their own original tracks? That requires musical talent.

>>213148120
DJ AM or as someone has said before, DJ OD.

DJing at the local afterhours has given me a weekly supply of jailbait pussy for 2 straight years so i don't give a fuck how much talent i have compaired to any of you, but my dick's sore from the amount of women i get. have fun playing at battle of the bands, dicks.

/thread

Anyone that thinks being a dj is easy is a moron. Guitar was half as easy for me to learn then turntablism.

Re-ward, Fatboy Slim, Daft Punk, Trentemoller, Marcus Schossow.

All good DJ's.

</thread>

"Mixing their own tracks"... so if I grab some Picasso, some Monet and fusion it together, I'm a talented guy?
Naaaaaa.. haha

The person who PLAYS the instrument or CREATES the music from scratch is the artist, not the aftermarket tryhard homeboy with no talent..

>>213148486
>Do what these guys do then come and talk shit faggot
hmm sorry im too busy making music with real fucking instruments. and by making music i mean original, unique shit.

not just some other people shit spliced together.

>>213148429
Respect for recognizing a great DJ.

Everyone in this thread listen to the X-Ecutioners formerly known as the X-Men and try to say that those DJs aren't musicians

TURNTABLISM FTW

>>213149665
u mad

>>213149763
pretty well brah. play a bunch of local shows opening for national acts

Also;

ITT: People who convince themselves DJs are musicians because they themselves are too retarded to play a true instrument.

>>213149188
This stuff is real djing and motherfucker difficult

>>213149806
...In terms of trance music, yes. He isn't number 1 for no reason.

"I progressed from guitar to turntables, and the latter was harder"

My clitorus.. lol... smoke on the water isn't any basis from which to progress to another instrument.

>>213150339

nope also play plenty of 'real' instruments , and will say first hand learning to DJ helps your sense of rythymical timing like no metronome ever would...

>>213150339
cool story, bro.

Tell me, if you're doing so well, why so bitter towards other musicians? And yes, professional DJ's who do produce their own tracks are musicians. Fuck off.

>>213150339
>local
ah i see you're living the life

DJ IS NOT MUSICIAN.
SLIDE PRESENTER IS NOT PHOTOGRAPHER.
ART MUSEUM ATTENDANT IS NOT ARTIST.

>why so bitter towards other musicians

thats just it.
im not bitter towards other musicians

>>213151443
LOL U JUST DONT UNDERSTAND

>>213151443
but a dj is not just a presenter. They take 2 songs and make it a new song. If art museum attendant cut pictures up to make a new one that would be art.

Do you know where to find all of your favorite ChanGirls, CamWhores, Femanons, and more?
You want all the pictures, videos, chats, and information that you can't get anywhere else?

1. Go to FemanonChan.com
2. Click a few links
3. Hit F5, when the main page loads click the clover
4. FAP

Now with live chats with real femanons! ^_^

>8340938

Disapproval.

To be DJ u need to learn a whole shit about music, u just cant mix two songs together. Real DJ mix and create songs with effects and other shit right there. A DJ must know when two songs are in sync, what are there BPM, and mix there low, mid and high together. It's difficult to be a Real DJ

>>213151443
DJ's who produce thier own music ARE musicians
Slide Presenters who take thier own photographs ARE photographers
and Art Museum Attendants who exibit thier own art ARE Artists

Splicing/modifying with technical tools is not talent. Sure, one has to have a sense of timing and a 'gee this sounds good' element.. but fuck.. that is NOT musical talent.

Too many untalented people claiming to be DJs.. like seriously.. how many fuckers say "Im a DJ" ??? but they don't have perfect pitch, or know a scale, or how to play anything else...

A majority of all the successful DJ's out there have produced their own songs with REAL instruments and use tables and such to perform it.

Anyone thats taken more then a few minutes of investigating before talking out of their ass would know this.

Bloody beetroots are a good example. They have a new set where they use live instruments instead of turntables and are very accomplished musicians.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMoEchY0igU

listening to a different song in each ear while beat matching and tempo matching. While controlling Treble,bass and med and thats just a small part of it, isn't easy

>>213152508
Again Producer not Dj

>>213148486

death crew 77=shit

Playing with someone else's work, no matter how 'amazingly complex' getting that BPM (LOL) right is.. is NOT talent.. you're fucking with someone else's work.

Like painting your car and saying "look at this car I made"

DJ deadmau5
DJ tiesto

>>213152508
>>213152508
i fucking love the beetroots!

ITT: fags

>>213153064
you seriously have no clue what you're talking about.

i think of DJs as sound manipulators. they dont really "create" it but mold it and combine it and mix it up.

if it doesnt take traditional musicianship to do that, then what does? it takes more than a good ear. its an experienced ear that responds to the crowd. i wish i could do that! im learning reason4 and ableton atm and its fucking fun! i'll dj when i get more moneys for the gear.

btw hey faggots, could you be any more obvious about your DJ envy? remember its not how good they actually are, its how good people think they are.

sup bitches. wait.......this is a DJ thread. I FUCKING HATE DJ'S.

www.di.fm

Listen/Love it.

Hardstyle channel FOR THE MOTHER FUCKING WIN.

all I have to say

>>213153447
Fuck yeah deadmau5, seeing that faggot on the 24th

>>213153694

hardstyle is for faggots

>>213152484
And how about many guitarist or drummers, who started knowing shit about music... they went oh its nice, gee this looks pretty cool and made music.

Many famous guitarist didn't know nothing about music when they started, yet they are musician

>>213154176

Haters gonna hate.

Enjoy your rnb mr.highschool. 90s hardstyle was the shit. Raves/good pills.

oh yeah...You still watched pokemon then didn't you?

>>213154176

i can play guitar and drums. Learning turntables was a lot harder. It's hard to explain, but it took a lot more focus and brain power.

>>213154408

lawdy you sure are fucking retarded

>>213153406

This fuckstick is right.. the demographic (teenyboppers, thick people, plebs, thick cunts, meat heads) are smitten with DJs because they have no idea that they just pressed the play button, or timed two crappy marketed songs together at the right time.

True artists live on, have deep soulful music and much respect from much more respected people.
Like comparing the Macarena to Clannad...

That's like saying I like listening to Samantha Rosen's records. Wait? What?

SHE DOESN'T PLAY ANY INSTRUMENTS! THERE ARE NO SAMANTHA ROSEN RECORDS!

>>213154854
And u sir are a motherfucking faggot

>>213154980
muh harder than just pressing play and only shitty dj's mix quiet parts together. Songs can sound like shit if not done right. It takes a lot of talent.

man there's some HATE(envy) going on here.

no matter how you reason that DJ's are not musicians, you cant deny that it takes the same kind of effort to learn guitar, drums, bass, etc...

same kind of focus, same kind of dedication, same kind of hardwork.

why you guys still bitching about it? oh right you're trying to make yourself feel better.

bawwwww

Nobody with a brain has any respect for a DJ. Nobody with musical knowledge has respect for a DJ.

You'll get temporary respect from those not informed enough to know the difference between parading someone else's talent as your own, and creating it..

>>213153447
I lol'd at that interview.

Seriously, say what you want about this guy, but he produces some damn good tracks. He's acted like a douche, but he also hasn't been famous for very long. He needs time to learn how to react to criticism.

Every second dipshit is a DJ...

Common as cockroaches..

Ok let's bring some realism into this thread. As someone who can play guitar and has "learned" a basic grasp of DJing, I can honestly say when I was learning guitar I felt as though I was getting better at something, learning a new skill. When I was DJing it just felt as though I was performing an action, something anyone could do. What everyone is describing to argue for DJing is MAKING ORIGINAL MUSIC and then performing it in a subpar way (as a DJ). If a bunch of dudes play some sick keyboard riffs, heavy drums, and intense electro guitar, would you rather have them record it and play the recording for you, or ACTUALLY FUCKING PLAY IT at a show?

y'know what's funny, OP didn't even mention anyhing about DJs being musicians. a bunch of people just jumped int eh thread and started raging about play buttons and violins and shit.

>>213156122
Dj's have never claimed it was their own music and the songs used by a dj have been made for that purpose.

>>213156741

True. Show me the musicians, not an ipod with a fuckstick controlling it..

I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY.

1. If you're a DJ, and you play Top 40 music. Kill yourself. Now.
2. If you're a DJ, and you take TIME to LOOK for the records you TRULY love and construct a set that flows together and represents you, congratulations. You're a DJ.
3. If Top 40 music represents you. Kill Yourself. Now.

i'm a DJ (minimal, techno, deep house) and it KILLS me when I hear 3 or more DJ's playing the same track. What ever happened to creativity?
pic related. greatest DJ/producer atm for me.

>>213156122
You sir, are an idiot.

Ever hear of Fatboy Slim? He's a DJ and he also produces his own tracks. No DJ who can't produce his own tracks is going to get any noteworthy recognition, so don't act like a douche towards those who have, because they've most likely paid their dues.

Tiesto may have sold the fuck out with his less than mediocre, latest album, but that shouldn't suggest he hasn't shown that he can at least produce good tracks. EOL = epic.

being a dj is the art of mixing. People just can't seem to grasp that. The whole thing boils down to the 30 seconds when one song goes into another seamlessly.
