@ DJ Vintage
first of all thanks for your advice!
But my preference for Pioneer is based on my history with other DJ controllers.
1.) I began with a Hercules Air controller. It didn’t work nice and most important: every time i played longer than 20 minutes it turned off instantly. The seller didn’t know what to do either so i decided to change it for an other one.
2.) At this point I tried a JB Systems Kontrol 2. The feel was much better but also this one turned off randomly. After 3 times changing the controller for a new one i was tired and decided to try an other controller one more time.
3.) That’s how I came at my current controller. Right now I have a Pioneer DDJ SB contoller and I fell in love with it right away, every button and every fader on the right spot, but still I was afraid it would be as “bad” as the others. But after a month of playing I still hadn’t any issues with the controller so love became serious.(After almost a year had only 2 times a little issue!)
For me Pioneer is a brand that delivers quality and consistency and that’s what mattered to me. I do understand I look like a brand-addict this way but like i said: history with other brands were frustrating.
So in short that was why I only mentioned I wanted a pioneer, to avoid making a long story 😉
But to get back your advice: again thank you. I will continue growing on this controller and try to be more assertive in getting parties to play at and caring less about what could go wrong and why not every transition is as smooth as i could be. I think i will start at the local pubs and at the student association, that will do right?
And an other, off topic question ; are you from Holland (or Belgium) as well? Because of the words “hoi” and “buurthuizen”
