They know what their RealTracks play, and how, and how fast. I respectfully disagree. Almost everyone either plays an instrument(s) - a musician - or writes lyrics - a song writer - or sings - another musician. If one just mixes and matches RTs then they are a talented DJ IMHO. Originally Posted By: GHinCH 2. Technicians: Most of the real life musicians are also technicians. Almost nobody started in a band having a bunch of roadies and an FOH-mixing guy. We all, at lest the vast majority of us, had to set-up our equipment by ourselves, tune the instrument where applicable, connect the equipment... I agree Originally Posted By: GHinCH Each and everybody of us had to learn scales, chords, and the connection of both; chops and licks and entire tunes to play. Again these are musicians Originally Posted By: GHinCH I don't say I like that, but drawing crowds of 5 to 6 digits for several hours per set is at least impressive. And, they improvise, they communicate with the masses, ... Per se they are not much different than a marching band playing for the 684th time "Seventysix Trombones" using the same arrangement or a Dixieland band playing their "'s Tight Like That" or the club dance band reiterating "Country Roads" for the two-steppers. Again I will disagree using my previous musician DJ comparisons. Originally Posted By: GHinCH It's all about what the customer wants. It's all about that bass, no treble bills, no coins in the pocket of the organizer. Unfortunately this is true! Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer. It's called the Heineken Maneuver. 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware
