I know this has prob already been brought up before but do any other old school dj's miss the days when you didn't need a computer or CD to DJ???... DJin has evolved so much that a lot of the skill of mixing has been replaced by programs that automatically mix, beat-match, and DJ for you...
I blew the dust off a crate of mine and Dj'd a nice set without BPM on two turntables NO computer and just thought...DAMN... Dj'in is too complicated these days... you never had to UPGRADE your computer or buy multiple program updates to be a DJ. Going to the record store was something you looked forward to weekly...now, all you have to do is buy a laptop and push buttons... nothing against Digital DJ's like ean who have a unique style but most people are not that creative with their mix...especially if they never spun on vinyl...
idk, just a thought, i'm up for a laptop upgrade and would much rather spend $1000 on records then a computer i'll have to upgrade/replace in a few years... i remember when you had to buy a kaos pad to use effects...damn that was a good minute ago...aw well, times have changed
