The use of the box and a tape loop right, [[long pause,background noise and conversation]]
[00:09:19]

now do you ever use a tape loop when you're working with a rap?
[00:09:25]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
you talking about a real to reel [[background conversation]], talk about a real to reel, [[mic noise]] uhh no sir
[00:09:38]


{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
okay lets, lets break the question down, first of all, why is it that a DJ will not record the material in advance,
[00:09:48]

program the mixing back and forth and go into an event with a pre-mixed tape thats got all the mixes built into it,
[00:09:56]

rather than, why do you prefer to use the double turntables and go on and do it live at a club instead of the other way now?
[00:10:03]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
well using tapes make you lazy, for real it does it makes you lazy,
[00:10:09]

a lot of times like if you throwing a party and you going to a club, people will like this see what they pay their money for,
[00:10:18]

now if you paid $6,000 to go inside a club you look up at the DJ you see a tape playing, you might hear mixing and scratching you going to be wondering "What is that?" you know what I mean, who is doing that?
[00:10:31]

[[background noise]] so thats why I prefer you know to bring my two turntables and mixer, so you can see me.
[00:10:39]

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
The other advantage of course is the different audiences have real different preferences for the sort of music that they want to listen to,
[00:10:45]

so that when a DJ works a particular club, he might get there and find out that one set of records that he brought is just not working with the dancing audience,
[00:10:54]

so he has to quickly be able to switch and to play with the audience until he hits their taste, until he clicks into the groove. Now, the question about rap
[00:11:06]

let's ask
[00:11:05]
