NAMM 2010 DJ Enferno on the Rane Sixty Eight



While the Rane Sixty Eight maybe be new to 99.9999% of us mere mortals, the 0.0001% DJ elite clearly know it very well indeed. Check out the above demos - DJ Enferno rocking a complex 3 deck Hip Hop set, and Jeff Milligan's 4 deck blend fest. Compare and contrast.

Coming from a mixed background of DJ styles, I can appreciate the techniques being shown but relate much more to Enferno's set even if it does use 1 more deck than I'm used to. Jeff Milligan's set looks to be incredibly complex with 3 and 4 decks running at once and a whole lot of audio weaving with faders.

What Jeff's video shows in particular is Scratch Live v2 running 4 decks. In this simplified form, it does look a lot more ITCH like than anything else. It also shows how 4 decks takes over the screen and leaves less space for your library. I guess more 17" laptops or external screens will be sold once SSL v2 hits the streets.

Enjoy the sets.

Thanks Scratchworx for the update. "Stay In The Mix"
