really?
 

I see…

Nice video but wish it went into a little more detail.

So… uh… he uses Ableton and a Korg Nano… that’s all I learned.

its more of a commentary on dont just play one song and fade it to the next. go out and work.

Macros! Man Macros! Yeah the last vid was interesting this one was a waste of time.

Did I miss something or was the video that short??

that was so damn weak. seriously, i enjoyed the zabiela interview where he unpacked his pack and talked about how he uses club standard pioneer hardware as little more than an ableton midi controller now.

this however was what .. just a promo vid for BT’s album?
step it up guys..

what……….   The………… Hell………….. Was………… That…….. DJ Techtools!!

Poor form indeed! 

Just to counter everybody here, that was the best video I’ve ever seen.

“I’m BT and because I have a classical music background I insist on being called something more than just a dj.”

lol he did not say even one sentence about “how he plays” besides that “there are 8 to 10 things going at once” and “i have complicated macros”.

yeah what a faggot, lol .he is amazing. but get your ego in check big guy. he thinks he is so special. ps. bach – concerto in d minor.

I love articles where i don’t have to read, lol

What a douche

Don’t blame djtt! Im sure they can’t help it if they sit someone down for an interview and the person just shoots off on a tangent the whole time.

Actually much better than I expected from reading the comments first. Don’t know why they’re so harsh… Just my opinion…

Like if you are a LR= Live remixer

DJTT, you guys are running out of interesting content. This week was a waste of time. Stick to selling gear.

DUPLICATE

What age are you?

“The knob of God”

I agree – the interview team could have gone into a lot more detail on this one. The video looks great, and is an interesting quick look at an artist but Dj TT is about going deeper. We will do better in the future. 

I agree with some of the comments here, we could have gone into more details on his setup and Dj TT will do better in the future. 

That being said, the video was entertaining, interesting and a cool look at a popular artist – so in that respect I think it is a good piece even if we didn’t get as deep as usual on the tech side. 

Cool VST BT. Thats all 

He must’ve had a bad childhood….

^That’s why I love this site. Looking forward to more

omg bt, you have a classical background? that’s so awesome.  who’s your favourite composer? Mine’s Beethoven or would you be more impressed if i said Ludwig van Beethoven  

Why so much negativity? He produced some of the most amazing trance tracks of all time. He is entintled to stroke his ego a little bit.

-Ableton Live
-Korg Nanos

Yep, that about coverts the whole thing!

I am gonna go watch cartoons now. ( they are almost as informative ).

Because no one likes a pretentious d-bag!

I thought the video looked grainy… maybe bring an LED on camera light to help with those low iso’s… Looks like it was shot on an iphone.

Worst post ever

Is this guy for real? Biggest clown of a “recontextualizer” I’ve ever seen in my life. Get over yourself bud. 

lol it was a fluff piece for beatport to sell more shit. details dont move units, bullshit aesthetics move units.

 That being said, the video was entertaining, interesting and a cool look
at a popular artist – so in that respect I think it is a good piece
even if we didn’t get as deep as usual on the tech side.

Was it? …. Was it really?

Or was it packaged up content from your NI partner, beatport that you have to stand by? *cough* *cough*

Either way what a underhanded way to passively assert everyone who commented is still wrong about the video. 

Your my favorite douche these days Ean.

Remember how all DJ’s need to learn that “sometimes a track just doesn’t fit” ?
Ean needs to revisit that thought because this article just not fit “How I play”.
You forced it to fit in the “how I play” slot like a amatuer DJ that just HAS to play a certain tune next despite the context of the situation.  Booooooo

yeah video didnt look very good either ian. step up the quality! we know you got the tools!

lol. liked. 

LOL i expected better. 

Whoa!! Ease up, Swag!

Cool Seeing these artist talk briefly about things, but they usually just talk about the industry and where its going instead of just talking about now and how they are playing now

I like how every troll on here isn’t logged into this site. Talk all sorts of shit behind a fake name… WOW! LOL the vid did suck tho

Where is the ego in saying that he is “library mixing”? He couldn’t be any less egotistical!

And yet you’ve managed to get at lest one “like” for that comment…. guess that proves you wrong!!

 You’re out favorite douchebag sellout, Ean. <3

I have seen a few Bt interviews besides this one.
That is all you get from him. Its almost as if Bt wants the limelight but wont give up any tricks or tips.
After all that is what kinda sets him apart.
In a way he did give a clue as to how he plays. He basically said he maps it all to be a workflow through controllers knob of god whatever. Just saying hey. its not just a couple of tracks someone else did and a couple of filters and echos throwns in.

plus a classical background means more than most can grasp for creating what he does.
I betcha anything if he had sat down and said a whole tutorial on how to implement his 20+ years of experience no one including me could ever get it.

But yeah Bt probably likes you all calling him out as you have. I would if I was that good.

BT played in my town a 3 yrs or so ago and I got to meet him after the gig. He is very down to earth and a really nice guy. Can’t say he has an ego trip or anything. OK so he has a classical education, which is even in EDM worth something. Music is Music is Music and the more you know the better.

seems like a really smart guy… I just wished he would have demoed one of his so-called “god knobs.” I need to get more into creating macros myself

I could have given such a better interview. Come to Annapolis and interview a DJ who plays like most people on this forum. That what I think more of us want to see, someone like us so we can get possibly a different insight on something similar.

Am I missing something? where is Click “read more” ??

if you are like me, you search out a lot of videos where djs/controllerists show their setups. in reference to “knobs of god”, i believe Ean, and moldover covered that somewhat before in videos (the whole macro thing), pretty much what the midi fighter can do, multiple instances of midi signals with just one button….i believe that is what he was talking about. i may be wrong.

Come on djtechtools…  you should have no trouble serving interesting videos instead of this bullshit. nano ctrl + live  + macros = ??! 

Well produce – ok I can give you that. But from my perceptive it was making the guy sound like an arrogant besserwisser and totally missing the opportunity to show how his set is arranged and performed. 

really, watch any DJ, or Live Remixer ,or whatever we’re callling ouselves today for 20 minutes and you have “How I Play”. This stuff isn’t rocket science, you don’t need a degree in mixology, and in the 20+ years I’ve been doing this, it’s all just a few variations on the same performance; we’re mixing (in the broadest sense of the word) pre-recorded music in real time (most of us anyway). What differentiates Ean from Tim Exile from Frankie Knuckles from Kid Capri, is the way in which we do it, our DJ ‘swagger’ if you will and that’s something that’s only developed with practice and time. Weather you’re juggling 2 pieces of vinyl or running an assload of clips peppered with effects, If “How I Play” Isn’t answered by the phrase “I have fun” then all of it is pretty pointless IMHO.

Jesus..the interview was only 2 minutes…Do you think he could tell all of his secrets in 2 minutes? Stop hatin’ …

great video!! If you thought about what he said it could really change how you do music…

BT diggs deeper into audio reworking then Chuck Norris. He’s the Mozart in this age. Big respect

Hey that’s at Ruby Skye… He kills it there every time…
