This is more my idea of what a DJ booth should look like:
Not specifically the CDJs, but a nice closed off area rather than a wooden box in a corner.
But even the small sideroom that barely gets used has a couple 1000s with a Xone 92.

A+ for most sensical post
now that that's said though, those of us who don't have a club set up at home, there's the worry of using something (i'm going to switch to *i* here, i don't want to speak for "every" traktor dj) that i haven't practiced on a whole bunch. even though i play every weekend (maybe skipping one a month or so), the first time i plug the audio 8 into the cjds is still going to be my first time doing this, and welp that's a huge huge risk.
i'm going to answer my own question here by saying i suppose i could hang out at whichever venue seems chillest with someone mucking about in the dj booth at 4pm and fiddle with stuff- but i guess what i'm asking is, are there any of you who play cdjs at clubs and don't have that as a home setup, if so, how do you get your practice on- what was the context in which you played cdjs for the first time etc

Funny that this whole argument more or less stems around those three things...ppl won't explicitly state it but its hard to deny.
This thread is epic and the number of ppl that miss sarcasm tend to show their inexperience with dj'ing.
Not saying its a good or bad thing, but the sarcasm check is usually how i read through these threads.
eh im not touching this debate, i just meant i would hate for my first time w new gear to be happening out somewhere, but at the same time can't justify dropping the 2k on a new setup when tbqh traktor + midi has a lot to show me still
i know some people who legit have never owned cdjs but still rolled up at the club and played/made it work- which i guess is how you learn anyway
wasnt sure i had the b̶a̶l̶l̶s̶ ovaries to do the same
also not to mention reggae dancehall afrobeats etc
*side eye*

After processing all of the highly informative data in this thread, I have come to the final conclusion that the CDJ is superior to any MIDI controller due to it's exceptional backspin capability.
I guess we now truly know why it is the "professional standard".
