Just wondering how long you guys have been mixing..

I'll start the ball rolling...

Listening to trance since i was 12 so that works out to nearly 10 years and Ive been mixing with traktor for around 4 years and on turntables for almost 2 years although a year of that was on shocking TT1625's, or whatever they are, till I got techs.

How many people can say they wanted techs from the age of 12?

EDIT... Reposted to add a poll

In my 21st year of DJing and probably wanted techs around the same time that you were born...

It's crazy to think that they have been around for longer than that long too.

Cheers

Only started properly in the last 6months really.. and still i'm not practising enough. Due to a lack of vinyls and trying to save up for SSL.

Bought my decks last christmas. 1210's Mk3. Love em to bits. Have to buy new carts and cans soon though.

nelly

2 months and counting.

I believe I bought my pair of CDJ-500S' in March, 2002. Got a pair of 1210's a little more than one year ago...when I turn 43 maybe my skills will be good enough for me to get some real gigs...

I started DJing properly in August 1999, then got my first decks that christmas. I know that sounds weird but I got a job with a freind of my brothers who used to run a mobile disco, which helped pay for the decks too



I wanted to get decks from about the age of 13 if i remember correctly, i used to "mix" using two hifi turntables, with one output of each plugged into the receiver and used the balance control as a crossfader, keeping the tracks in time by speeding up/slowing down with my fingers

i've been facinated w/dj'ing (well mixing electronic music) since i was about 12-13years old. growing up, i would mix buy hitting play on both sides of the dual tape deck on my dads rack system. doing my own tape edits and splices produced equally dissatifying results.

i spun for the first time around thanksgiving of 1998. i had been buying vinyl for several years by then, so i had stuff to play. i didn't have my own set up till sometime in 2000.

i wanted tables since 5th grade

got em 2 odd years ago, but had been mixing for about 1 year prior..

I can remember being in prep/kindergarten and always messing with rebirth although that aint djing it was fun.
Iv been into trance for as long as i can remember music and probably since grade four (i would have been 10) iv wanted to be a dj.
I starting mixing stuff using software when i was about twelve and i baught a mixer for pc + 1 TT mixing about a year ago now.
Then about 6 months ago i got techs.
Im 15 now so ill say 2 years.

Nem whats your age if you dont mind me asking?
Its funny how nomatter if you started djing 20 years ago or today there is a good chance you will want the exact same decks.

My techs are only 2 years younger then me
