Thanks for the replies everyone!
Glad to hear that midi controllers offer more in terms of creativity then the CDJ, I always thought midi controllers were just there to learn the basics.
I’m going to be using Traktor as my mixing software and Albeton for producing. Since I’m going to be using Traktor, is it worth getting a controller specifically designed for Traktor? Like the traktor x1? Or is any other midi controller suitable?
Wow 3000 pounds is a lot of money, that’s an equivalent of 5g in dollars if I’m not mistaken. I’m not looking to blow a load of cash for high end equipment when I don’t even know what I’m doing:p You’re right though, mastering the basics leads to further development and progression! Think I’ll settle for a basic midi controller and use Traktor to find what suits me best and where I should go from there, thanks!
One last question, and it’s a rather “noobish” one at that. Watching DJ’s and producers perform live, their set seems gigantic! Looks more then just one midi controller and a laptop. Are there any other equipment outside of a midi controller that is absolutely required? I’m guessing that additional equipment is entirely based upon your style and preference?
