I just came back from a friend's house, who's got a mixer and runs from 2 CD players, an old receiver to amplify and an EQ deck.
He taught me how to mix trance, and I feel so proud!!!
It's such a great feeling to make a smooth, sexy transition between your favourite tracks!!! I now have a new impression about DJs who mix only. It is a skill and I have begun to hone that skill!!
Being a producer, I definitely want to get into DJing as well.
Just had to comment. Maybe others have had the same "revelations"??
PS. I beautifully mixed Boys of Summer (Cosmic Gate Remix) into Icarus (Daedelus remix)...and omfg it was so wicked!!!!!
I can now see how my next major purchase will be a mixer and MP3/CD deck.

Man, using vinyl is a LOT more fun and a LOT more satisfying when you make a perfect transition! Believe me it is well worth it!
But if you don't want to get addicted to vinyl, stay away..

If you mixed a set on a pair of cdj's, nobody could tell the difference between vinyl save for maybe the absence of popping and clicking...
I think its much harder to mix with TT's than it is with CD's. There's alot more of technique and skills involved with a TT than with a CD. Allthough, mixing using a CD is fun too, but I stick with vinyl!
