I was put on the spot when I first used them. Luckily the other DJ loaned me his rekordboxed USB. The hardest thing to get used to was no cue point jumping and limited looping.

I had a series of songs with which I knew the transitions so well that I could do them blindfolded. As you get more confident you can start bringing in tracks that you don’t know as well.

The only issue is that there are some really good programs on Mac that Aren’t on PC (traktor mapping, Osculator etc.)

If you can get a decent second hand mac it would be decent, but there are no real issues with PC. In fact my PC has proved more useful in more situations than my old mac.

some places also have a pair of Technics 1200 but I honestly can’t remember the
last time I saw someone use vinyl (real or time code)

Most popular software is Traktor then Serato.

Theres an upper class bar (the music is mainly ambient, jazz, minimal house etc..) and one of the DJ’s there exclusively spins vinyl. Though she doesn’t beatmatch at all.

You’re speaking to someone who has the same issues. I have 30 hours a week of University + related coursework and I tutor. I work for between 10-15 hours a week on top of that. It’s not a huge amount, but I can save $130+/week.

Shop around second hand as well. Like grabbing a second hand stereo system. I nabbed a set of Silver 303’s, and an amp and equalizer for under $100 aud, and it outperforms $500+ setups. Be aware that speakers take up a lot of room, and especially in smaller rooms that an be an issue.

For scale, thats a 24″ screen.

If you went for Old Greg, you would have to drink Bailey’s from a shoe.

You can supposedly piggyback Serato controllers, so although they aren’t officially supported, they sometimes still work with each other.
