100% disagree with you solja. by having serato and and turntables, he could then go somewhere with turntables and use vinyl. somehow i doubt that if he were to start with a controller, he would then be able to walk into a place and begin using turntables immediately. the exception would be someone who has been djing for years on cdjs/ controllers (which are essentially the same); who i believe after an hour or three will be able to pickup using vinyl. as its the release that they will need to get use to. i learnt using tsp and turntables. and then went to a mates house, straight vinyl, and other than getting use to the lack of torque on the techs i was able to get right into it. albeit still as shit as usual Yep, people make a big thing out being able to play on vinyl, took me a few hours using wax at my old job. That said to learn the fundamentals of djing AND vinyl is a pretty steep challenge. Not so steep. How did they learn before the time of controllers and digital DJing? exactly what I was going to say.
