For a quick background information I’m a hit hop dj I’ve been playing for approx.. 6 months. I have yet to get my own equipment though. About a year ago my friend bought an S4 and that’s what I’ve been using/messing/practicing with. But now I want to quit being a mooch and get my own equipment so I can begin to get into the club DJing scene and out of the college/frat parties scene lol.
With the upcoming release of the iPad 3 (should be in the next week) + the Lemur iPad app it seems like a viable option. Now my style doesn’t have very much scratching in it just little chirps to introduce new songs etc. This is sort of what I had in mind.

I rely more on efx, loops, etc. I just have a few questions that I cant seem to find the answers too. Also something I noticed was that if you were to say bring a Lemur into a club you'd be looked at like a beast, but for some reason if you bring an iPad or controller they look at u like your not a real DJ?
I want to use TP2 because that’s what im comfortable with but I’ve never really seen Lemur run with TP2 only with programs like Logic, Reason, etc. Would TouchOSC be a better option?
I also am into production with apps like Beatmaker 2 and Alchemy Synth Mobile anyone ever used any of these and have any personal stories or suggestions?
Last would I need to buy something like the Alesis IO dock to hook my iPad up to a mixer / use my headphones etc?
Sorry if these questions are super dumb but I’m really new to setting everything up myself etc.
Thanks in advance for all the help!!!
