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..

Do what you want...CDJing is cool, and so is vinyl DJing.

Here we go again. There's a whole sticky thread about vinyl v cd.

Good to hear, nothing like a great mix

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...

Ohhhhhh. Good quote. Go me!

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!
