Simple mixing tricks for a hip hop DJ?

[Roberto Dinero]

yuuuuuccck save up and get serato man cuz youre going to want it in the long run.

Yeah, I'm definitely looking forward to upgrading. Intro is garbation, you can't do anything with it.

What do you use? What do you prefer now in this digital era? Cause vinyl is dead now in most clubs.

But I like what I'm using at the moment, once I upgrade I'll put in serious work. I'ma upgrade in the next few weeks.

Sounds good. But everywhere I've been I see no one using vinyl any more so I'ma rock with what I got for the moment. I see people using digital or CDJ's mostly. Mixtrack Pro is easier to carry around and can find any track I like for free, so I like that.

I still got my old turntables and mixer too, so I might set em up again in the future, they're still in good condition. But you still rock with mostly vinyl?

Yo @illadope I got a question for you!

When I upgrade to Serato from Intro, will all my libraries be the same or will I have to upload all my songs and libraries again?

They should all be the same. Never used intro though

Yeah, Intro came as a part of the package for the controller. To get the upgrade its gonna run me about 120 bucks or so but I live in the UK so it will be about 80 pounds, so it won't be too bad, but thanks for ur help in this thread anyway!

Cop a cheap SL1 from someone and get some turntables!

SL1?

And I already got turntables.

I need to buy a bigger table to be able to set them up again though, which I will do once I have space. In the mean time I'm gonna work it with the digital controller. The main advantage is that you can find any track u want for free on line without having to dig for ages or pay for it. So I'm definitely gonna do it like this for a while and maybe go back to vinyl in the future.

But other than for real scratching and turntablist shyt, I don't see a need to use vinyl right now.
