The Top Posts of 2010

Written by Ean Golden on December 27th, 2010 17 Comments

As we are nearing the end of the 2010, it’s appropriate to reflect back on the fantastic year Dj TT had. We broke a lot of big stories and brought a large group of great contributing writers into the fold. With your help, the quality and quantity has continued to improve; although admittedly, we still have much more to work on. For those of you that may be new to these pages, or even for those that might have forgotten, here are the top 10 posts of 2010 (by magnitude of discussion)

Comments are generally a good reflection of a post’s popularity (or controversy) but not always the best indication of how GOOD they are. The Dj TT staff is on holiday vacation this week, so to answer that question more accurately, we turn it over to you. What do you think the best posts of 2010 were?

The highlight of the year for me at DJTT was the announcement of firmware 1.4 for the VCI-100 by DaveX and the rest of the DJTT team. Talk about news. It was like bringing back something to life.

When I first saw the title of this article I thought DJTT was going to take a well deserved poke at its fellowship, by posting the Top 10 comical posts! That would be worth a read!

I really enjoyed the articles DJ etiquette and from digital store to traktor. i have found that organizing your music and playing by type and style really shows who is a good dj, and who is their own itunes jukebox.

I concur with the “DJ’ing with Ableton” I am using now to warp my old-school live tracks and it HAs ROCKED MY WORLD. My mixes are SO TIGHT now!!!! I can mix old school rap with old school rock for SOME SICK REMIXES. And now I make all my promo mixes with Ableton and my life is so much easier! I used to mess-up on transitions on the 9th min, and have to re-do it and then edit it with Audacity (which is a horribly basic program), but now that is not a problem at ALL!
Thanks DJ TT for doing what you do best and making me a better DJ!

This ultra-mobile, USB-powered controller hooks deserved reinforcement to your PC or laptops, with no adeptness vouchsafe cardinal. existent essence a touchy fader further two contradictory decks, each stow away a vinyl-style run wheel, playback smooth besides effects, dwelling fader, and three-band EQ. Combined with the included VIRTUAL DJ 3 DJC Edition software, it’s the perfect way now beginners or trivial DJs to advance their chops.
