Why? I mean, it's not like they release anything worth a shit on the dancefloor. “Now the major music labels need to get their act together and start selling to digital DJs.”

Why?

(I give up, I'm going to buy <a href="http://www.djdecks.be" rel="nofollow">djDecks</a> instead) It may not look as impressive, but even this low-cost product has (basic) VST support. How fucking hard is it? Many innovative DJs want an open standard (VST), NOT crappy "DJ" effects or other useless junk added on. Somebody please give me decent DJ software that either: 1. Hosts VST effects well (djDecks has yet to fill the bill there) 2. Acts as a Rewire client (not that hard, and yet nobody has yet to do this) or... 3. Acts as a VST instrument (harder to do, but still possible. The closest match, Xtal is useless if you're trying to mix in any professional capacity) Really, this burns me up because no matter how many dj effects you add to a product, no amount would be enough even to scratch the surface of an open standard like VST (or DX or AU for that matter). Plug-ins sound better, are more flexible, and have a wider range than on-board effects. Trust me, there’s nothing like throwing down a buffer override stutter in a middle of a breaks track to get the crowd’s attention. Add to that other unique effects like Prosoniq’s <a href="http://products.prosoniq.com/cgi-bin/register?service=showdetail&refno=42" rel="nofollow">Morph</a> plugin, and there is really no limit to the DJ tools possible with VST effects. I simply refuse to settle for less. Sorry NI, you don't get my money this time. ATA Arghahhahh!
