Hey guys, I'm pretty new to DJing but I've been doing a whole lot of reading anything I can get my hands on, and I think I've got the basis of my setup going. Ideally I wanted to venture into production (and still do, that's why I bought the Live upgrade) but I'm more focused on Djing after watching some of Ean's videos among others! Digital is definitely the way to go, I've decided. I've already got a small but growing collection of tracks from when I discovered beatport 9 months ago.
Altogether I have:
Macbook 2.4 Ghz (plans to max out my RAM soon)
Akai APC20
Akai LPD8
M-Audio Keysation 88E
and a pair of KRK Rokit 6s.
The KRKs are the newest addition, the APC and LPD8 I've been playing with for a couple months now.
I'm also running a full version of Live 8 that's been serving it's purpose quite well but I was curious about using a more traditional DJ software. From what I've read Traktor Pro would be perfect using one of the custom mappings floating around here. A local guy on Craigslist is selling his copy of Traktor Pro and an Audio 2 DJ sound card for $100. It seems like an awesome deal and would kind of tie up my kit. I was also thinking of a dedicated mixer, any ideas? I've seen a lot of good things written about the BCF2000, but I dunno if it's necessary. I'm really interested in doing a lot of beat and cue point juggling, mixing up tracks on the fly.
If I buy the copy of TP does he need to unregister it or anything?
Thanks guys
