When the bridge was built that enabled DJs to use vinyl records in order to manipulate music on their computers, it was an historic moment in DJ history. But ever since that day, DJs have had to look at their computers in order to see what’s going on with their music.
You see, DJ’ing might be heavily about sound, but there’s a visual portion which can’t be ignored. When DJs spun traditional vinyl records, the shape of the grooves could tell the DJ what was about to happen. When we moved over to digital vinyl systems, we lost the definitions in those grooves, and instead landed on a record that looks the same all the way across. In order to see what was coming up in the track, we had to look at the computer (or CD player) screen.
