Had a nice setup going with: 2x Technic 1200's, 1x DJM 400, 1x KP3, 1x Trigger Finger, 1x Axiom 25, 1x Laptop running ableton. Strictly bedroom setup, not for gigging.

Was spinning alot of Dubstep/Breakbeat. Had to chunk alot of stuff though awhile back while inbetween jobs. But damn I miss mixing on the decks.

Now saving up for 2x MK5's and a Rane TTM57. That's really all you need, along with a laptop. Easier than carrying crates of vinyl around, instant access to new releases on beatport and digital-tunes.net which is alot easier than paying 10$+ for a vinyl that's comming all the way from London or something. And you still have the ability to spin a old-sckool night with Vinyl only. Oh, and a EFX 1000, those things are so much fun to mess with.

Now I do my mixing in Ableton Live, remixing is so easy and fun if all you have is a laptop and alot of free time hehe.

I been getting into Mixmeister for a few weeks nows, great fun. Still think that the best way is just 2 decks and a stack of vinyl. I saw Mix Master Mike with the Beastie Boys one time and it just blew me away what you can do with a couple of decks.

Scratchin is some sick shit. Been known to cut up the instrumentals. Got some good Shadow, Alchemist, and J. Rawls shit on my music page, my buddy has these on vinyl as well and we cut it up.

My buddy is sick as shit with it and has been doing it since we were in 7th grade, now we're 22. We also kick sick freestyles if the beer is flowing or just really baked.

After you cue the song, never touch the record or platter. Use the pitch control to hone the layering. That will be enough to get it synced, and you can't trainwreck as hard as if you are actually touching the platter or record. It won't take you so long to learn, just don't put success on a pedestal and you'll learn fine.
