    @Miguel – cdj sounds pricey when you get into it, think I’ll stick with ddj to start with to get a feel for things. How did you find the s4 as a first controller? I’m looking at either the Traktor s4 or the pioneer ddj-sr. Both are of similar price but I don’t understand what half the features actually do to be able to compare them haha! As for software I think either will suit as it seems to be personal preference with most people. There doesn’t seem to be a definite better software.

    @DJWyld1 – Thanks for an insight into vdj, going by reviews I’ve read it seems to be the more user friendly of the 3 but often seen as the worst of the 3 for some reason? Almost like its looked down upon and inferior? Like i said to Miguel, a lot of the software debates seem to be based on personal preference rather than a defining reason why one is better than the other.

    In which case, if I would be happy to try either of the software, would I be better off looking at controllers that i like and go from there?

    Thanks for all the info! That gives me a bit more to look at. Think i’ll stick with traktor or serato for now, at least until rekordbox gets some more reviews.

    Am i right in saying that CDJs are more outdated now and i’d be better going for a DDJ controller? I’ve been looking mostly at pioneer’s controllers but going by what you say i’ll look into the software side more and let that determine my choice of controller.

    Computer wise i have a fairly decent hp laptop running windows 10 and i have beats studio headphones so all i really need are the speakers. I’ll have a look at beatport and dj tunes, never heard of either of them.

    Thanks again for the detailed reply and the links, really appreciate the help!
