    I am 14 and have been djing for about 8 months too. I started with the mixtrack pro and am upgrading to the twitch soon.

    • I think a really cool controller you could consider is the Denon MC3000, never used it but heard it is great for vdj. Another thing to consider when buying a controller is consider what you will be using it for.
    • Take the classes Mcnee said.
    • If you’re considering an instrument like Daryl Northrop suggested consider percussion, in my opinion it really helps you learn song structure and counting, but any instrument will do.
    • When you practice always record your mixes and listen over them the next day.
    • If you want more guidance take the How to Digital DJ fast course, (the name of the course Ess Jay recommended) it really helps.
    • Oh and I forgot, you should probably get to mowing lawns when you get the music buying bug haha

    At the moment I am really just doing basic mixing and trying out more controllerism, but nothing really cool, and that is what I hope to be develop for the future. I have been leaning towards the twitch but I read that being able to scratch gets you more gigs so I was worried about going down the controllersist path. Controllerism is what I want to do but I also want to be able to play out.I am not sure though, does one or the other help more? And does it depend on where you dj?

    I fit the Terminal Mix 4, an LPD-8 and my laptop with all the cables in that bag (I think it is size L of their offerings).

    Okay, I will look at that bag, thank you

    i was looking and that or bigger seems pretty standard, what do you carry it in? I was considering the twitch though, do any of you have one?

    The Mixtrack pro is 19 inches long, I have tried to find bags for it but nothing seems to fit, I am looking for something the size of or smaller than a 17 inch laptop. @The Black Rag, i like the feeling of it being spaced, but I will sacrifice that to be more mobile. Also, if you have suggestions on what I could carry the Mixtrack pro in that would be great

    I registered my stuff and bookmarked the page. When I came back it was just the registration form again. Any idea how I could get back to the page with the serial number?

    Thanks for posting this! But do you know if I bought the LPD8 from Rook Audio if it would be fine to use with the offer?

    I probably won’t be able to buy the S2 for a couple years, do you think there will be better alternatives for traktor by then?
