It was the two CDJ 800's I picked up and used for a bit that opened my eyes to what DJing is suppose to feel like. I loved them, but got tired of burning CD's and missing that turntable feel.
Now I strip Traktor down to the bare bones and I found the way I prefer to DJ. Sometimes I will break out the CDJ and mix between vinyl and CD, just to keep me extra sharp.
Bottom line, if I didn't get the visual aids out of my workflow, I wouldn't still be DJing.
