Go with timecode vinyl man. Don't worry about playing out, just use CD's. Piece of piss to get used to if you get a gig lined up, just have a play around on some for half hour or so and you will be fine. If you can mix vinyl, you can mix CDJ's no problem as long as you know how to function it! Your a good DJ mate, wouldn't worry about that too much. Can always look to add a CDJ or 2 to your setup in the future.
Pluggin shit in at a club, infront of another DJ, with potentially dodgy cables and mixers, bad lighting, does not make it a 2 second job.

I don't bring DVS or an interface anywhere anymore. Just a crusty old i3 powered Dell and some USB cqbles.
I feel this day is coming nearer for me too though.
Lots of good advice. 850's should serve you well, and for the reasons your saying about having a mix with your mate it makes sense to get something similar, probably why I've been looking down the Traktor/Mac route just because I've seen it first hand so many times now
Are you reaching Metalheadz 20 years Mark?
No...
Yeh, I've been taking it on board. Still a bit undecided, but I am leaning towards Tractor little by little. Still would be nice to have some cdj's though and would be fun getting up to par on them as turntables.
....mate. Headz nights, like Renegade Hardware nights have never really grabbed me (just personal preference) + I am starting to prefer smaller raves more than those hench all night raves that finish when people are going to work. Are you hitting that up?
I'm not sure. I never use playlists. Try the Pioneer forum.Afek how the fuck do I export a playlist from Rekordbok onto usb? Everytime I do it it forgets the playlist and creates a new folder for each artist/tune which sends me mad. It would take me days to take them all out of those folders.
It can't be right because there's no point in having playlists if they don't stay together on the usb stick I must be doing something wrong.
If you had the choice...850's or 1000mk3? They seem to be close in price from what I'm gathering.
