Hey guys, I'm starting on DJing and need your opinion on what setup to get.
I've been practicing for a while now using only keyboard&mouse with traktor, used a controller a few times too. I already got the "basics" of mixing dnb (I will be mixing DnB mostly, if not only), like phases, eqing and such, and can do a little something with manual beatmatching on controllers (without visual help whatsoever of course).
Now, here's the thing: i know controller DJs are often looked down upon, so i considered these ways to go:
-Digital vinyl system, be it with turntables or CDJs (prefered way, but would be kind of hard to get everything I need with my current budget);
-regular CDJ setup (don't really want to)
-a decent controller
The problem is that I'm pretty short on money, being a full time student, so I have a limit of about 250£, consequently I'll be buying whichever setup it is used.
My goal is to start gigging locally within a few months (I can do so easily, no need to explain why now). Which setup do you recommend?
Also, lets say I got myself a turntable based DVS, would it be easy to go into a club and pop the DVS into their CDJsand work from there, is it in any way similar to turntables?
Sorry for the long post
