I saw a chic at Pioneer bar the other week DJing with her computer. Around here its starting to become the norm because who really wants to crate around 100 lbs of vinyl, but after further review, it wasn’t you’re typical iPod style DJ software. Something new to me (as I’m so out of the loop these days), however, I am familiar to the concept of DJing with MP3s as I’ve used Stanton’s Final Scratch (although not the latest version. This was RANE‘s new DJ tools software/hardware called Serato Scratch LIVE.
According to the DJ, she liked it better than Final Scratch as it was “more stable”. I’m very interested in pursuing this option, of course, I’m also pursuing the purchase of a new laptop to go with this… more debate to come on this subject of DJing and the use of software to do so….
