How many of you digital DJs also mix traditionally? (no laptops)

I use vinyl and CDs quite often and also my full digital traktor pro setup. I like mixing things up. Who else is like this too and what are your reasons? For me it's a different feel and I focus on different things when I'm on hardware decks with CDs and wax than when I'm in traktor pro. My style changes significantly when I'm using Traktor vs tradition which is one of the reasons I use TPro.
I just realized that I no longer use timecodes like ever. I can't remember the last time I did. I like to keep the laptop digital world separate from the decks.

Oh and after three weeks without turntables and 200 new records i finally got the Technics I've been waiting for- a beautiful pair of black 1210 MK5s.

Now I'm going to replace all the lights with blue LEDs and maybe do an under platter LED mod if I have time.

Oh and obligatory new setup pics before I sell two of the CDJs off, it's just insane and loads of fun.

I hope I don't come off as whoring my setup showing it off but I've been drooling over it all night looking and playing with it and wanted to share and figured some of you might like the eye candy. I have been waiting to find a deal on these exact tables for months and they are hard to come by and I paid more than i usually would for that reason (550 for the pair, I've bought a new in box 1200 MK5 for comparison and usually stay under 500 for technics pairs unless they're M5G). These were just too sexy to resist and once they are glowing blue it will be even sicker.

If anyone is in NYC and wants to come over and jam let me know, anyone cool and not crazy is welcome, 2 of the CDJs are going on Monday!

I am a sucker for a bargain too!

Most of my kit i have gotten for a steal!

The VCI and Audio 4 were brand new tho.....but ALSO got a great deal on them!

No Customs fees!

I use vinyl every once in a while, just to get that "feeling", y'know.. the .. ahh forget it

Unexplainable without breaking forum rules

I mix records at home after work for an hour or so. It's very relaxing, kind of like taking a beer into the shower.

I have this retro four tape deck-mixer. A box full of some goods like loop tapes and kid n play. That's always fun. I run it through a pedal board, pretty fun.
I also have a single 1210 that I use along with Traktor.
