Thanks to both of you!
Kyle, I agree that it would be tough to do a mashup live, and make it sound polished. I would likely just do them in advance at home and then have a library of my own personal tracks that I could play via VDJ or Traktor on a controller. As for finger drumming, its not needed in a club setting because, as you said, people are just there to dance.
Terry, thanks for the encouragement!
Overall, I think I’m leaning towards the idea of just starting with a LaunchPad for home producing. And once I’m comfortable with that and have built up a small library of my personal mixes/mashups, then I’ll look into getting a controller to accomplish this. Is it possible to use a LaunchPad simply as a sample back in Traktor? Because if it is, then I think I would do that. Just to have some extra options. And you’re right Kyle that if I had my own mashups already done that I could get away with using the S2, but I’m looking at the S4 and thinking “I want it now” ahaha. I’ll just have to save up my pennies and dimes then!
Thanks for all your advice! Much appreciated 🙂
