>c'mon people, do you really think hawtin and acquaviva would endorse >(unofficially or not) a product that amounts to sitting behind your laptop? > or that makes djing *less* of an art?
Actually..... Well I think again this comes back to how you define DJing and what you expect to experience. I think Hawtin places value purely on the sonic aspects, right, that could be why I never feel him as a punter. He doesn't have the physical presence of, say, Stacey Pullen, who you really feel, he communicates in a variety of ways. So I think it's quite possible that Hawtin could sit behind a laptop and if it were challenging enough technically (as I believe he would want to be) then sure he might endorse it. But it would lose me. It would be too clinical, too technical. I guess I've always loved R&B/soul, so it could be that is why I value presence and performance and that kind of projection. It's not a technical thing.
