Stroke,

it depends on you..i.e cd player or vynl.

will you be a club or mobile dj?

do you prefer cd's or turntables ?

disadvantage of using truntables is the portability. they are bulky to carry around in crates. however if you plan on doing it using software, then turntables could work since you will not be carrying no records.

If you choose software, no doubt Serato. and if you choose cd players, I'd highly recommend Pioneers. you can start with 800's pretty solid stuff.

I personally love the feel of vinyls but in this age, 80% of my music is in digital format.

How do you get your music?

Do you know of any music pools?
