pre pitching a CD is something a lazy DJ does

part of DJ'ing and mixing / beat-matching is matching up the pitch of individual tracks. a pre-pitched CD is a CD that has been altered by software, or perhaps by the DJ him/herself in their spare-time, so that each of the tracks are already matched to the same speed/pitch. all the DJ has to do then to mix live is beat-match the 4/4 drumbeat or whatever. relatively simple. it's seen as an unforgivable act in respected DJ circles (especially drum'n'bass, where the focus of live performance is very much on the turntables and MC), and as a matter of fact a big name on hospital records recently got his ass thrown off the label for pre-pitching and playing mix-CD's live.

Yeh dude, but Hospital dealt with it well I thought. His wasn't a pre pitched CD it was just a mix CD. And the CDJ wasn't turned on when he was "using" it.
I've just seen that Chase and Status use pre pitched CD's and my guess was pretty much what you said Uzique. Shame

EDIT - I don't say it was "just" a pre mixed CD as if it's better. In my opinion thats worse, because it's putting less effort in.

i avoid all of this by just not listening to music at all

music has no appeal to me

why is this? is it common?

My mum doesn't really like music. Which is unfortunate for her, because the rest of us love it.

it was "just" a mix CD? playing a mix CD live is even worse than pre-pitching... the guy was turning up to live shows, respected d'n'b shows to add more insult to injury, and pressing 'Play' on a SINGLE deck and then PRETENDING to mix. the crossfader was turned 100% to the one deck for the entire live-set, haha. you can't make that shit up. for a headlining, big-name drum'n'bass producer to do that is unforgivable, i hope that guy takes his ass along with his shitty unimaginative tracks and never reappears in the d'n'b scene. hospital handled it well? they had to, are you shitting me. london elektricity is one of the most militant and ardent defenders of the 'war on vinyl'. it would be hypocrisy to a new extreme if they ever showed even a glimpse of support for an artist that essentially turns up with a digital-CD and then 'mimes' the act of being a DJ.

chase & status are overhyped shit as well, so that news doesnt really surprise me. they're chapter 2 of the 'Drum n Bass for Dumbies' book, right after the introduction and Chapter 1: Pendulum.

Read my edit

They could have handled it worse, and gone along the lines of "it's pretty common nowadays, why does it matter". Personally I like his tracks though. Well. Some of them.
And yeh, C&S aren't great but as one of the more "popular" names out there to people with less knowledge of the genre, for some reason I expected them to put on a decent set, rather than being completely half arsed about it. Plus it's kind of upsetitng knowing I'm seeing them when I see The Prodigy next year, and it will probably be a pre pitched CD.

fuck sake.

READ WHAT I AM WRITING.

you deserve all of the invectives when you invite them on yourself with your dumbassery.

i dont care that you dont have my taste. i dont care how my own taste reflects on me with my credibility, coolness or image. it doesnt take a genius to figure out that any image-based superficial obsession with music wouldnt float with me; do i identifiably look like a fan of drone and doom metal as i present myself to you in the street? am i easily pigeon-holed as a cool rap-cat when i approach you with my middle-class sensibilities? no. it's fucking absurd, drop that ridiculous shit right now. for three posts in a row right now i have simplified and elucidated my point several times: my objection is with music as commodity, rather than music as art. bottom line. if you had an artistic, creative taste or interest in any genre, fucking great. A*. many members of this forum here have a music 'taste' that i have nothing in common with but say nothing against. most members do, in fact. to say that you have a 'taste' though, is really stretching the term to breaking point. that's the only thing i commented on. ive had to reword the exact fucking same message 4 times now, and call you a dumb dick in the process, because apparently you can't read or compute that very simple rule of mine. so, in case you've forgotten what i just simply stated at the start of this very-same-paragraph, to conclude: a) it's not about image, b) it's not about 'coolness', c) it's not about differences in 'taste'.

i get it...

you think you're being really smart by 'feeding the troll', pulling this miraculous and bullshit-move that is normally seen in a back-pedaling, squirming method deployed by the likes of Finray. 5 posts after initiating any form of dialogue, you come out with the big derren brown: AHA! ive had you all along, part of my superior-intellect's stratagem. no. boring, yawn. people that give up substantiating their point and quit on being intelligent halfway through are the internet equivalent of waving a shit-stained white flag.

i await the next genius input from the aussie, too. following the brilliance of "tee hee hee, uzique is talking about music, lets come out of my lurking hibernation to comment on his hair!" and the quick riposte of "dude you must be so unhappy with your life to make personal insults"... well, the mental acrobatics in logic and rhetoric may very nearly trump the bullshit move that you just pulled, dauntless!

you guys are such a massive disappointment. where's the talent?
