Thanks for the really valuable info. You’re right, I’m still pretty “green” to be making any gear demands at the club (despite my DJ name, haha). Luckily, I think if I show up with my DDJ-SX most places, at least it LOOKS pretty pro for a controller and it’s pretty reliable as far as I know. I loved that at the last party I had at least 10 people come up to me and ask about the controller and all the pretty lights and explain how it all works to them – it has some cool factor for the non-DJs out there. 🙂
Question – are you limited to 3 hot cue points with CDJs? I like to do some live remixing on the 8 pads with my DDJ-SX so I’m just wondering if the CDJs will limit that (or if my Serato hot cues will even transfer to rekordbox at all).

Thanks and that’s a very good point, but at the same time, the girl I chatted with knows that I am a pretty new DJ and is more of a friend than a business associate. She just happens to also be the #2 at this big club. I’m more in the honeymoon phase than the business phase for all of this so I don’t mind trying out for free, but I’m also not trying to cheapen the value of my/OUR DJing as a whole. The girl had to leave the party before I started my set, so maybe next time I’ll have her watch me at a house party instead of “trying out” at the club. Maybe I should hold off on the gig until she/they see my value elsewhere? She said they get hundreds of mixes to listen to weekly at the club from potential DJs so this would be a way for me to slice through all of that.
