I was talking to a good friend of mine who learned on ableton and traktor and it came up that he had never mixed real vinyl (non timecode) records and never put his hands on a pair of CDJs. This kind of made me realize that there must be a lot of people out there who just bought controllers from the start and have no experience on physical decks who would be totally helpless without a laptop.
I'll admit, mixing vinyl isn't easy especially when you don't do it often and are spoiled with Traktor but I feel like you should at least be competent on CDJs with a booklet of CDs. I would feel kind of helpless if I was 100% reliant on a laptop and couldn't finish a set without one. So, who would be screwed without a laptop and does it bother you at all?
