Hi All, I'm new to DJing, about 8 years ago my friend introduced me to it on his vinyl decks and mixer and i have been wanting to get serious. Since then i have played around with friends equipment & decided to get my own gear and get into it. I bought 2x CDJ900's and a Denon DN X1600. I was racking my brain on whether to get a Pio DJM700 or the Denon..... basically from the information I got I came to the conclusion that Pio is the industry standard, but the Denon DN X1600 got a better review so i went with that. (If anyone has any info I would be grateful to hear some feedback from you guys). Also, i really just muck around with my hardware, but read a lot about good software (Traktor - Serato etc). I have done a party or 2 and mostly am a bit of a bedroom DJ but just love doing it, however i really just mix one track to the other with some minimal effects at this stage (i have only had my gear about a month). Would it be a good idea to invest in these software programs and see what they have to offer, or would this not be of much benefit to me at this stage.
