The other DJ at my club uses virtual DJ. Honestly, in all these years we've been playing together he's never had a single problem.

I know he uses a Pioneer controller for Virtual DJ.

Oh, cool, good to know I'm not the only one. I just started using it because the interface reminded me more of my old (very basic) vinyl setup from back in the day when I used to poorly mix "Burned with Desire" into "Tears from the Moon" in my bedroom at my parents' house. :P

Originally posted by trancecravings alright, thanks a lot guys, i think i will go for the s4. btw Jay, do you have any experience on importing the equipment? I think I'll actually save money buying it local for a higher price since I'll have to pay shipping and all that jazz if I import it. Am I right?

When I bought the VCI-300 (only had it for a short time before getting bored with it), I looked at ALL options - this included driving over the boarder, mail order and buying local. Buying local worked out to be best. One key thing is , not all warranty is covered when you buy over the boarder.

Don't buy a controller if you want people to actually think of you as a DJ.

It's been years i've been thinking like that.

I'm happy you said it out loud.

The controller is for practicing and becoming better before I drop the cash on some CDJs and a mixer.

As far as public use is concerned, I only plan on using it at house parties or at home.

That said, I judge DJs based on their ear for music. I don't care what method they use to create a set and blend songs, I only care about how the end result sounds (as long as they are feeling the crowd and not playing a pre-mixed CD).

However, trying to get gigs at clubs when all you use is a controller will probably have some people rolling their eyes, so I agree it's important to learn CDJs or vinyl at some point.

That chart is sick Woody, great job. Wish I had that when I was new and figuring out what to buy, haha. You should totally make an interactive tutorial, sort of like Ishkur's Guide to EDM.

Unfortunately, my budget was a lot lower so I just ended up with the Hercules Steel controller and VDJ. Maybe when I start doing real shows, I'll upgrade, haha.

I stumbled across http://www.djtechtools.com/ when poking around looking at youtube videos. They have a lot of interesting videos and articles which primarily focuses on controllers and technology newer than CDJs and turntables. I think Ean Golden is sponsored by Native Instruments, so there's quite a bit about Traktor.

I suggest anyone who's interested in Traktor and what it can do to take a look at them and DJ Shiftee. DJ Shiftee is more of a turntablist and has his Salsa School of Scratching (or something like that) videos, but there are a bunch of (NI-sponsored) videos where he's using Traktor and doing all sorts of cool stuff with it.
