Hey there
I'm looking to start DJ'ing and came across this site, I basically was skimming through all the articles all day yesterday. Anyway, you all seem to know your stuff so I thought I'd ask for some advice
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but what I've picked up from the research I've been doing is that using a MIDI controller + DJ software (I'm planning to go with Traktor) is a cost effective way of getting into DJ'ing, but is also definitely not a 'beginner' option. It looks like a good way to get into DJ'ing for a beginner.
So as a result I started looking at various MIDI controllers, and the two that stand out for me are the Vestax VCI-100SE from DJTT and the Stanton SCS System 3.
Most people on this website seem to be into the VCI-100SE, unsurprisingly. But being the unashamed tech nerd that I am, I am so intrigued by the Stanton system, and I have read a lot of good reviews on them.
So my questions are:
Is anything that I've said wrong?
Are there any other controllers you would recommend?
Which do you think is better, the VCI-100SE or the Stanton system?
Which do you think is better for a beginner?
and finally, would an Audio 2 DJ be a sufficient sound card for what I am doing?
Bit of a long post, but I'd really appreciate your opinions
Thanks a lot in advance
