The iPad DJ: @ranajune

braap

you guys, this video is really cool. you're just all sexist and stuff. ipads.

Women Can't DJ

is it wrong to already have an Electribe and want the iPad so i have a touchscreen portable version? i know the output are basically stuck on there and customization is minimal, but so sexy.

Man I just bought an ipad because of this thread... thanks watmm

every time i swear that i wont buy a new apple product the folks at apple out smart me and convince me to buy it..

i think the thing that tilted the balance was the korg ielectribe app.. I looked at my desk and my $500 electribe and then looked at the $500 Ipad with lots of music apps and bam.. instant justification...

damn you apple.. heres my god damned money

I love that electribe app, those tubes sounds sooooo warm.

Analog>Digital!!!

I should just stop reading/listening to anything having to do with music and stick to making it, it just leaves me bitter and frustrated

In the midst of the iPad-crazy tech bubble, Rana Sobhany aka DJ Rana June has been getting a lot of press and Twitterati attention for using iPads in place of decks to DJ. Of course, the only thing that makes this a “DJ” setup in the eyes of observers is the presence of a mixer in between the two Apple slate devices. That’s caused criticism from some – DJ Tech Tools’ Ean Golden lamented that the the whole situation was kind of irritating.

 

I’m not about to jump on the hype train. Novelty, by definition, wears off. So let’s consider what Rana is really doing here. I actually find it interesting to watch people pick up devices, to see how they approach them. In this case, the iPad is replacing three different categories of devices: conventional digital decks like the CDJ, DSP-based sound hardware like the ElecTribe, and, most importantly, laptops. Software developers may want to take note of the fact that she’s consuming apps in a disposable way, swapping from one $2 app to another, rather than devoting time to mastery and greater investments of time and treasure. But beyond that, the main revelation here is that the tablet is the computer. And the laptop computer, like specific sound hardware and various arbitrary devices for playing back recorded sound on circular discs before it, proves not to be as sacred as the sound-making activity itself.

 

Translation: look out, MacBook Pro. Read Rana’s take on what’s happening on her site. And another thing, MacBook – it’s not just the iPad gunning for your job, but a bevy of other tablets and slates in its wake.

 

Of course, the Revolution won’t necessarily be at the Apple Store. (Where’s Gil Scott-Heron when you need him? “The Revolution will not be presented in a keynote by Steve Jobs. The Revolution will not have an unboxing video. The Revolution will not be first seen in Williamsburg. The Revolution will not appear on Twitter.”)

We first caught wind of this before Gizmodo picked it up but I declined to publish based on the simple fact that she was not actually doing any DJing and quite frankly, the whole situation was kind of irritating (generally decent grounds for dismissal). The tech press, on the other hand, ran with the story and the resulting discussion has brought up some interesting questions about DJing with the iPad.

lol

but there is a lot of interesting discussion in the comments from people talking about how good of a tool the ipad can be, to one guy talking about hacking wireless and fucking w/ your live set.

much better.

yeah.... but it doesnt sound very genuine. put it this way. why would someone feel like they should teach someone their instrument after having learnt it (badly) themselves 2 weeks earlier. you shouldnt. it makes you a fuckin retard.

meh fair enough. this isnt worth me getting my panties in a bunch.

i would still fuck her up the ass and film multi-angle porn with their five ipads.
