For Dj`ing i use Technics decks,have done for years,not playing out much really,just the odd house party,but have other mates that just use laptops,as vinyl is really hard to get now,most stuff is mp3 download only  ,i want software like Traktor,which lets you manipulate mp3 files like vinyl,using timecoded vinyl,so don`t lose hands on feel.
In the studio i have cubase,cool edit pro,and acid pro .But this is all out of date now

Hi Mark,
we tried the laptop / PC route about 4 years ago but after a few gigs we ditched the idea because we didnt feel as though we were HANDS ON with the whole system.  I know you can get some amazing software now for laptops but to be honest i would continue to use decks. I miss doing the Clubs n bigger gigs coz of the buzz you get from large crowds but also enjoyed most of the private parties.  Christmas was always a busy time, we had a contract to supply West Bromwich Albion Football Club DJing all their private parties but by the 2nd week of December a man can go mad from listening to christmas songs for the 1st 1 - 2 hours using it as background music till the PARTY got started then it was good fun.  Still got a few contacts regarding equipment so might look into it later in the year.

Richie.

I had to clean the carpet last week at a pole dancing club - right in front of the stage while a girl was practising. I must have been too close though coz I got a nasty crack in the face
