Thanks guys for all your advice!
I wasn’t expecting I’d get such a good response.
Firstly, thank you DJ Hessler for your advice – do you have a couple of suggestions for tracks that are house? I tried with trance but the tracks are so long, and since they are played in their entirety I find it a lot harder to get the beats matched and the track lined up (hence the reason for this post). If you have a couple you can suggest I will go pick them up on beatport or something like that and have a go right now (I am playing with my decks as I speak)
DJ Hane K – thank you for your videos. Ellaskins on youtube makes some great videos.
In regards to the old school route, well to me there’s just something cool about watching records turn, putting your hands on the record, and playing it. I know I am never going to get super technical with them, but in those cases when I do want to, I’d use a controller, or CDJs (which I will learn after learning the basics on turntables)
For me, if I was going to play an old school drum and bass set, or something like that, I’d want to use turntables and vinyl. If I was going to play some crazy house with loads of cue point messing about, obviously I’m going to want something that’s going to allow that.
I love all aspects of DJing!
