2nd'ed Fingy.
I used to DJ on the old ones & two's.
It can be an expensive hobby & my decks + about £2k worht of tunes were stolen years ago so never got back into it.
I still mix though but using my PC.
Most of the clubs now used CD mixers, m8 has a set of Pioneer ones, not the same as 'true' mixing but is still mixing

Easy, they have built in 'beat matches' not hard is it when youve got them, as long as you know your tunes and mixing points.sessions gorilla said:
I was DJ'ing in the early 90's on proper decks, alot more skill involved, CDJ's any monkey can mix with.
Turntable decks take practice and alot of skill, simple as

My m8 has some CDJ's and uses then @ The Tube in Halifax, & ive 'played' with them many times, NEVER said they do it all for you but when you can set Mix points & have Beat matchers built in then it doesnt take much skill to mix with them, all you need is a basic knowlege of your tunes and know the basics of 16 beat 32 beat and off beat loops and is easy + you dont need to keep adjusting them to keep a tunes running together.
Sorry im just old school & I prefer to see a DJ using talent rather than electronics when it comes down to the nitty gritty, best sight ever was Paul Taylor & Carl Cox both doin it using 4 decks at Angels in Burnley, now thats what I call skill
Yes I know CDJ's are the 'modern' decks but I have alot more respect for those that can mix on 1210's or other vinal decks.
This wasnt a disscussion about CDJ's & 1210 it was offering someone advice on a question they asked, why do some people have nothing better to do than make arguements out of others 'helpful' posts Ill never know.
& with that im off to bed.

personally I have a set of gemini CD units and some numark vinyl tables and a Behringer 4 - channel mixer. It's cheap and cheerful but it's good for mixing old with new. I do get a bit fed up with peeps in the pub asking why I use CD's and not vinyl. Cos I have more CD's, simple There's a lot of 'purists' out there that turn their noses at CD decks and I guess I can understand but if the tech is there then why not use it? Having said that, I've got a beat-counter on the mixer but I never really use it, cos I find it is pretty much bollocks at dealing with anything other than a standard drum beat, always trust your instincts I guess.
If you are going to be lugging your stuff around to different venues always remember that vinyl weighs a bloody ton too!
