    Yea I can see why people have the impression that cdjs are ‘pro’ or ‘proper’ djing but I think this is more of a visual aspect as the reality is controller/software opens up so many more options.
    I started with vinyl, then cds, next was DVS so to me the next logical step was a controller as upgrading my cdjs wouldnt have felt like I was going forward.

    Im very new to the controller world but I can honestly say I cant see myself going back to a cdj set up again.

    Thanks Terry,
    Yes I have seen the bigger ones have the extra inputs, not having these is my biggest concern.
    I haven’t heard of a faderfox but I guess any cheap small mixer would be along the same idea?

    I play in a lot of high street venues (yates style) so usually have to keep it quite commercial, especially at the start of the night. I use dj city record pool as I find this has a lot of good remixes and edits of chart/commercial tracks that are very good for this

    Yea I totally know what you mean. On realistic terms I also like the SR, much better size (and price). I need to modernize my set up so may end up with this. I havent looked too much beyond Pioneer as I have been used to them for so many years, maybe I need to lift the blinkers and see what other options are out there

    Terry, I wasnt aware of Serato DJ doing that, thanks, will have to look into that as I will be upgrading to that soon (from ssl) and I am much more in favour of sticking to Serato.

    Santa Creek, As much as I do like the SZ, its well out of my budget, its good to dream though lol

    I saw judge jules play a funky set with a saxaphone player about 10 years ago and it was amazing, they were completley in tune with eachother and jules would cut the music, the sax would carry on the tune and then the beat was put back in and was in perfect sync. . .
    I have also heard people on bongo drums just beating the hell out of them with no clue as to what rhthym they are supposed to have. . .in this case I would totally agree with you
