Laptops Are No Longer in Fashion

Since the moment a musician figured out how to mix his compositions, a long time has passed, and the art of DJing has opened up a vast space for imagination. First, vinyl records turned into CDs, then CDs were replaced by laptops. Today, our laptops have become too heavy and inconvenient. The future lies in small boxes that combine all possible functions of DJ equipment.

Pacemaker is a new mobile DJ device with a 120 GB hard drive, Final Scratch software, and many other advantages. It’s hard to believe, but with this small box, you can blow up the dance floor just like with complete DJ gear.

Pacemaker operates on the basis of the program of the same name, which is available for download on the official website www.pacemaker.net. There, users publish their mixes and tracks for public access. Unlike the Pacemaker itself, which costs about 520 euros and is more suitable for professional work, the service on the website www.pacemaker.net is completely free and available to anyone who wishes.

Today, we can observe a wave of interest in such devices and programs. It is no coincidence that more and more internet portals are launching their own radios, recording studios, virtual nightclubs, etc.

On the site www.soundcloud.com, there is also an opportunity to share your music, record a mix, and comment on other people's music second by second - the site provides the option to leave comments precisely on those segments of the track that made a special impression. The site www.laut.fm is less inventive but equally interesting. By creating their own online radio station, authors can track the popularity of their creation. Similar ideas have been embodied in the site www.muxtape.com, and the number of such projects is growing every day. It seems that very soon any internet user will be able to call themselves a DJ...
