Took a break while I got into other musical styles and learnt how to play the guitar.
However electronic music was always my main love so decided to get back into DJing. Bought some cheap direct drive sonys (Fine for the money) and got back into it.
However the price of records had gone up from £2 for new releases to £7 - £10!!!!! So I thought id get into Traktor and Controllers. So I bought a Numark Mixtrack. It was OK for a while. Cheap or even free tunes! However I do feel one thing - Controllers are, in my opinion a bit shit!!!!
Now before I get lynched let me explain.
1. They are massively overpriced! (Just look at that new toy Pioneer have released, even the S4 is a rip off in my opinion)
2. They turn every tom, dick and harry into a DJ
3. The 'cool' sets people like Ean produce would just bore me to tears in a club (Maybe this is just down to what i want to hear though, admittedly) Its kind of a poor mans scratch DJ.
I love DJTT, its been a great community and helped me get back into the whole DJ world. But with all the new 'Entry Level' software and controllers available at he moment I honestly think it could spell the end for the DJ!
