Mark Settle over at\u00a0DJ Worx<\/em> is frustrated. He’s impatient with Native Instruments and Serato … any of those companies DJs have come to know intimately, all except Pioneer DJ.<\/p>\n

He argues that Pioneer DJ is the only company that has continued to innovate and create new equipment and new technology for DJs. Everyone else is stagnating and, as a result, doing an injustice to DJs everywhere. He’s entirely entitled to his opinion, of course. But, I must disagree.<\/p>\n

What’s the point of bringing new equipment<\/a> onto an already saturated market? Every time any of those companies mentioned above release new stuff, I have to ask: ok, but what problem does it solve? I guess what I’m really asking is how much money do DJs actually have to put out in order to be able to do what they do?<\/p>\n

If all Pioneer is doing is releasing a new mixer that has a better feel or more knobs and buttons, then what’s the point? Most established DJs already own a whole suite of equipment. They don’t need to upgrade every year.<\/p>\n

I’d say it’s more important to look into real problems that DJs are experiencing with the equipment and the technology \u2013 like ergonomics and compatibility.<\/p>\n

What do you think? Do you drool over every new product that’s released to market? Or are you looking for a solution to a problem that none of the DJ equipment and technology designers and manufacturers are even thinking about?<\/p>\n

Let me know!<\/p>\n
