    todd im sorry i was not clear.
    โ€œDonโ€™t want to be a controller guy anymoreโ€
    i dont have any problem with software and controllers they are amazing thing to work on. i also think that a controller is a producer’s toy not a dj’s. i personally do not like feel of standing in front of million buttons and a small gear comparatively. that classic feel of doing it on players is something which i like. i know i am limiting myself for future options but im sure i will find another way to upgrade . i used my friends laptop dont have my own. however depending on your opinion i am thinking about controller once again.

    Hello DB. i have limited options here, there are no retails which display and i have no idea of where i will get these gear to test. so its a one shot for me. mostly i depend on reviews online.

    i will look for that type of credit company here. your words are inspiring ๐Ÿ™‚

    Thanks.

    hi Vintage thanks for asking this, buying a controller will cost same when i add a mac pro or any other high end laptop. i have used numark pro2 for more than a year and dont want to be a controller guy anymore. after using controller it was first time i played on cdj2000s and i thought controller is nothing in front of the cdj. i dont get that feel of djing on a controller. Thank You.

    hi Terry, i dont have any other option left, being honest, i am applying for a loan from bank for these. so new players and old mixers. prefering pioneer 4 chanel mixers coz of color effects mainly. if there are any other mixers which costs less than these and does the same job please advice me about it. Thank You.

    hi Todd. I have been in this scene more than 3 years. I have used Numark pro2 for a long time. I took djing classes and its been 20 months now. i am pushing myself a step ahead by investing, More for practice at home and less for taking these out for gigs. other plan i have is i will give these for rent and i will get my money to pay the emi every month. Please advice if i am taking a wrong step. Thank YOu.

    + sennheiser hd-205 this is the one i can recommend for you, advantages of this one is, its cheap compared to others, has one side cable(less irritation and less chances of breaking wire). you can also go for nx audio headphones, these are cheap but not well build, cheap plastic which breaks easily.

    Over time, I got beatmatching down. 32 beats, then 64 beats, 128 beats, and so on. I also started growing in my musical tastes as I was exposed to more of the global scene. In 1992 my main influences were old Bad Boy Bill mixtapes and the DJs like Bill on the radio. 1994 I turned 21 and was exposed to deep house and underground house. Time passed and I was exposed to trance and so on.

    I also took on different gigs to understand and figure out my focus. I played one wedding and realized mobile isn’t my thing. I played some clubs, bars, and raves. I was resident in one mainstream suburban club. I also tried online radio and podcasts, as well as production. In the end, I found that I wanted to play music I believed in, reach out to those who are normally spoon-fed mainstream pop. I also found that I grew to hate the politics of the club scene, and driving hours to play 30-60 min wasn’t fun…so I ended up staying a hobbyist and blogger.

    That was a journey that went over 16 years. I would just tell you right now to learn the basics of being a DJ, listen to and find what styles of music you really like and believe in, and then go out and about and see what kinds of places/events you want to play at. You can learn much in the blog here on how to get to point B.

    thank you , your comment has given me a clear view of what i am, thank you for the wonderful advice..:cool:

    Second, read the blog regularly.

    Third, ask one question at a time.

    I personally think you should find a focus in terms of what direction you want to take DJing, then learn the trade from that viewpoint. Playing a rave or underground club is a different world than playing a bar or a wedding.

    thank you, and what are the ways i can manage, with my own experience or i can learn through posts and reply here?
