Did a quick search to see if this thread has been started before but didn't find anything...
Was thinking about this the other day and thought it'd be interesting to see who's been dj'ing using pc/mac software the longest on this forum. And no, playing some mp3s in a Winamp playlist doesn't count! (I'm talking about dj'ing software).
I first got into mp3 dj'ing with a program called Alcatech BPM Studio 2.5 back in 2001-02. I stuck with it until Traktor 2.0 came out and moved to Traktor 2.0 permanently in 2003. I then bought a DJ Faderfox DJ1 in 2004 and started gigging around Asia with it. I've still got the DJ1 and it works perfectly!
I remember my friends coming round to my place when I was dj'ing dnb/jungle mp3s using BPM Studio... they were amazed at what it could do. It was pretty ahead of its time - even had some nice rackmounted hardware that you could use to control all the functions (even showed the track names on little LCD displays). Was pricey though.
What's your digital dj history/story?
