Howdy everyone,
I Have a dilemma. I bought the Numark Totalcontrol (Mistake, I know) a while back to start my DJ'ing career on. It has been pretty solid, but It is way past time to upgrade. It came bundled with Traktor 1 LE, which I tried and didn't like. So, I ponied up for VDJ Pro 7, because I taught myself on VDJ Home 5, and liked what I had.
Today, I installed windows 8 on my laptop, installed VDJ PRO on it, and thought what the hell, I'll just install Traktor 2.5 trial on here to try it out again. So, I did, and wow. There is so much to set up, and you have complete control over everything, I loved it. The sound quality sounded 10 times better from traktor than from VDJ playing the same songs with same levels in the mixer (I keep a seperate mixer for EQ and levels because VDJ's built in EQ and faders suck).
My question is, should I switch to Traktor Pro and dump VDJ? I need reasons why to switch, because I am 14 and I have an extremely tight budget.
Second off, I am starting to get into mixing. Should I dump the controller and get some used Technics 1200MK2's and a decent mixer and use Traktor's vinyl to MiDi interface? Or maybe get a controller like the NS7, or denon DM-MC6000?
Thank y'all much,
