Yep and despite 90% of people that use controllers saying its for 'creativity and more time to do sampling etc etc', they use it because they actually cant or cant be bothered to learn how to beatmatch properly and are fucked when the software plays up. There is a big attitude issue with so many of the new guys coming up feeling that they don't even need to understand basic principle of many aspects of djing and just jump straight on the controller and start doing gigs, it's disappointing but end of the day those guys that disrespect it end up being found out and don't get anywhere properly in a professional or long term sense. mmm i think its more of a mindset, than just new kids with controllers... I've been djing for probably under a year still, only gear is a DDJ S1, and i learnt how to beatmatch/ still learning... never ever used the sync button... only time i synced was when i was getting the concept of mixing when using VDJ before i got my S1... just for the face that it if fucking impossible to beat match with a mouse... bbelieve me i tried .. I'm hoping im not the only new kid to the game that thinks the way i do... just a lazy mindset that relies on the sync feature
