    You’d probably feel most at home with Serato given your vinyl background. An affordable way to get back in the fray is a DDJ-SB2, it’s only about $250

    Hey. Check out Reloops turntables. They have a pretty solid series with the RP-8000 at the top. It’s one of the few that’s midi and can be used not only as a turntable, but also you have buttons for controlling your software. Check this review video for more details.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGaV0W_bLMc

    If you want to get a mixer that includes software and DVS you have the new Pioneer DJM-450 and also the DJM-250, which includes the fully licensed Rekordbox DJ/DVS. You need to get the control vinyl in addition to the mixer to get started.

    The main difference is the powerful effect sections and the USB send/return on the 450.

    If you want to access/control the software you can add the DDJ-SP1 to use hot cues, loops and effects. It’s a nice add-on and was originally made for Serato, but is now also compatible with Rekordbox DJ and directly with CDJ-2000NXS2/XDJ-1000Mk2. https://www.pioneerdj.com/en/product/controller/ddj-sp1/black/overview/

    There are a lot of choices to make and I’m certain that you’ll get plenty of more to choose from. This was my 2 cents. Good luck and welcome back to the world of DJing 🙂 .

    Hi John, welcome to the forums. Enjoy your time here!

    Be sure to read up on some of the posts on picking (digital) starter gear. Another tip is to take a (money-back guarantee) course like “How To Digital DJ Fast”. It will fast-track you into all things digital. Combine it with a 100-150 dollar used starter controller (plenty of posts with our list of potentials) and in 2-3 months you will fully equipped, based on that new knowledge and your experience of yesteryears, to come out and make the right decision.

    Just my three cents as usual.
