What a nice n fun thread 😀 I’m new to this, as well. I rocked it back in the days on some 1200/2100:s in the late 80’s onward to mid 90’s. Now I want to get some gears & software that’s right for me. My goal is to produce (in the future), but going to start with mixing, remixing & do sets n some mashups b4 starting producing. I’m a fan of hip-hop artists as Pete Rock, 9th Wonder & DJ Premier who are using MPC:s a lot, besides FL Studio (my final goal in producing own material). I want gears & software that can be used in many genres. Now I’m only “playing around” with Virtual DJ, using foremost beat grid. The genres I’m into is hip hop (east/”true skool”/jazzy&funky), new jack, elctro-funk, breaks, d&b, Detroit-Tech, Old skool house & indie house/nu-disco, some bro-step & chill trap, big-beat etc.
What I’m thinking of is what gear & software I should use. I have big, clumspsy hand & “sausage fingers” 🙁 so I have that in disadvantage. First I was thinking of Pioneers Ergo-V, but I also get recommendation in the sb-series as well as Traktors S2/S4/S5. I’m also wondering in getting the new MPC Touch that NI’s releasing soon.
