Wouldn’t this cause you to lose your Cue’s, Grids, and Stripes? You would have reanalyze all your tracks and re cue them. If your in a time crunch that would be really bad. With a hard drive you plug it in. Map your software to the drive and your done as if nothing ever happened at all.
I also like this because if I need to borrow a laptop from another DJ to get me through a gig i just launch Traktor, map the drive in the settings, restart Traktor and its done. Undo the changes when you done an its back to how it was before you ever turned it on.
MemberI just threw that in there because I’ve had a laptop die one me right in between 2 gigs on night. Was able to go to Walmart at 1 AM and buy another laptop. Was back up and running in 20 min from powering it on.

Someone might say Serato is the best, but it might not be what your looking for, so do the research on both, and decide which one would best suit you before making your choice.
Exactly! 🙂 I started on VDJ and it got me through the basics. Then I tried serato and it just didn’t jive with me. Then i came to Traktor and fell in love. We have been happily married for 3 years lol

What software are you using?
MemberS4 if you can afford it. Other than that I would recommend an S2. I have one and its worth it for sure!
MemberS4 for sure. I have an S2 and love it! If I could get an S4 for cheap I would jump on it. 🙁 But hey the only thing I’m really missing is decks C+D and I’m going to get a F1 or midi fighter 3D for those anyways.

I have used it to, Clean spilt drinks of my gear, wipe sweat of myself, cool me down, use as a protective mat for my gear if there is a wet or very hot surface, and to whip away intruders in the DJ booth. Very handy tool and I take one to all of my gigs.“More importantly, a towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (strag: nonhitchhiker) discovers that a hitchhiker has his towel with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, washcloth, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet-weather gear, space suit etc., etc. Furthermore, the strag will then happily lend the hitchhiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitchhiker might accidentally have “lost.” What the strag will think is that any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the Galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through and still knows where his towel is, is clearly a man to be reckoned with.” – Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

I agree.
MemberYea as “EDM” (hate that name) becomes more and more popular im sure iTunes will for sure open up more. And I agree i cant really tell the difference either in quality.
MemberiTunes is a wonderful place to buy music. Their selection could be better for DJ’s though. I always recommend beatport as you get a lot of selection aimed at DJ’s specifically.

I’ve seen XLR runs as long as 250-300 feet with no issue. I don’t know the limit though.
