[BLAKE BAXTER PERFORMING]

BILL HOLLAND: Things are changing but that doesn't mean we have to abandon everything that's come before. I mean you're using Live, you're using a lot of new technology and integrate it into that. Now in terms of DJing, how do you feel about like Serato and Final Scratch and all that? I mean how do you feel about the MP3? I guess that's what I should really ask because there's the audio issue I know between vinyl and MP3 and I don't know how you feel about where that's going in terms of DJing.

BLAKE BAXTER: Well, contrary to belief, vinyl holds more bass than CD. Analog bass kicks! Yeah! But really, I mean it's technology and you know, digital, analog, it's -- you know, these new cats it's all about, you know, a quick reference. You know, it's not where I grew up experimenting. You know I mean I grew up knowing musical notes but wanting to do something outside of that. These cats want to do something that feels good to them and they don't want to really -- they don't have the musical training so they want a quick reference. All this software stuff offers them a quick reference. I think a lot of guys who start off using the software, they do start to venture more inside of themselves and try to bring it out on a track. Live, it gives you that option to experiment a little more than other software I found, because I mean I came up on Logic. So I mean when I first started out, it was straight from sequencer to Logic. When I went over to Germany, I used to work in a studio with Moritz Von Oswald and Thomas Fehlmann. They did "One More Time" and "Brother's Gonna Work It Out" which I mean they influenced me so much with the software and how to do a bigger track. That was straight-up four tracking, you know, two-track sequencer, stop, start it, let it go, you know, turntable, but you know I have a lot of respect for those guys. They're geniuses actually.
