DJ's
Any Dj's on here, what stuff you mix and where you get your tunes from ?
Have just stared mixing a lot to learn and using cd's not software.
Getting my tracks from http://www.cdpool.com/ as they choose the latest hists and put them all on a cd for ya.
As lasy and cant be assed to trawl through pages of tunes
Not sure if to stick with house though or go down the DnB route

Now in 'music' section.
Blast from the past though
Beat port is the popular place to get tracks, most labels sell on here before the likes of iTunes etc. I'd stay house, dnb is much more of a niche market at the moment and infact has been for a long long time.

Can't really say alot on the CD side of things i download all my music and use traktor pro with a VMS4. As for your choice of music, might not be your thing but dubstep has really become a commercial market. Lot of people like it these days might be an idea to dabble with that. I've done quite a few house parties and you stick a nice heavy drop dubstep track down, the place normally goes nuts ha

i primarily mix hardcore, with some drum and bass and makina (spanish techno) for a bit of variation. use cdjs for the hardcore and get tunes off trackitdown and usual places, but vinyl for the dnb and makina though as alot of it is old stuff that isnt available on cds and i cant be fucked on with ripping tracks from vinyl. plus using the 1210s is much more fun than pressing play on the cdj.

I use vinyl and CDJ and I can confirm (for those less experienced/educated) that you don't simply press play on a decent CDJ
If anything, you require just as much skill to operate, say a CDJ1000/2000 as you do a 1210, but you can be more creative with it

id have to disagree with you there mate, although i admit i've over-simplified cdj use in my post i definitely feel theres a greater skill and more of a learning curve with using vinyl
for example if a mate comes round to mine and the decks go on, even an inexperienced user can sort of hold a mix on the cdj, due to faster cueing and bpm readouts etc, whereas you put them infront of the turntable and they are more often than not absolutely hopeless.
what i was really referring to though was the way the feel and sound of vinyl is much more enjoyable in my opinion than using cdjs. and id like to think that in owning one CDJ800 mk2 and one CDJ1000 mk3 i know a little about operating 'decent' cdjs

I think I understand what you're saying with the ease of cueing but I never rely on a bpm counter for mixing. You still have to manuallt set the tempo.
I can hold a 3 minute mix on cdj or vinyl and the beatmatching/tempo matching takes just as much skill on either.

I myself started out on turntables, now I have cdjs too. and they are midi controllers but I don't really use that functionality. Tbh I'm working more on my producing lately aswell.
