There's a really lengthy video with Richie Hawtin describing how he uses Traktor to DJ. It's safe to say that anything he describes is something people might be interested in doing. http://www.residentadvisor.net/feed-item.aspx?id=1840 The highlights are: * auto-sync * support for 4 decks * automatic loops with adjustable duration (1 measure, 1 beat, 16th-note, etc) One thing he mentions that I think is important is being able to manually adjust the beat markers. A lot of times the beat detector is close but a little off, and it would be really helpful to have a mode where I can really get in there and get it right. I have one track where the tempo changes, and if I could go in there and tell it what's going on, it would be a big help. Once the beat markers are placed exactly, auto-sync becomes as easy as making sure the beat markers line up. There are a lot of pro-autosync / anti-autosync arguments online, but I think it's a feature people expect to have available. owen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!
