currently DVS (Serato) with my CDJs.
Vinyl and Serato for me. I will never DJ any other way. I love vinyl, and Serato is great for tracks I either can't get or can't afford on vinyl, and for being able to literally sample anything and throw it into a mix without having to go to the trouble of getting a custom record made. All Serato needs is FLAC support (and it finally looks like that might be happening) and I'll be totally happy with it.
CD's only. DVS, Software, Midi - never gonna do it
Used to dj with only records , but it became hard to travel with it and i couldn't always get the tracks i wanted on vinyl (locally)
Switched to cd's only . I still use them from time to time if the cdj's at the gig doesn't have usb connectivity. Stopped using it mainly because i was spending way too much time burning cd's and making little papers with title than playing.
Went with dvs. Had traktor and serato. But once again , it became too much gear to lug around (xone 32 , cdj 1000's , serato or traktor , computer , back up cd's , headphones...)
I'm now with controller's (for home use and small gig's) . Using traktor with my vci 100 arcade . Sometimes I do my set's with ableton if I feel like warping lol.
And last but not least , usb's I pretty much use the same playlist i created on traktor and export them to usb's and use that . That way I don't have to bring my laptop all the time
started with only vinyl , staying with only vinyl for now , until i could afford a Reel to Reel for my upgrade
I was strictly vinyl for about 3.5 years, but the sheer cost of vinyl these days (I buy house, techno, garage, dubstep and d'n'b) means I can't afford to buy every release I want, so I now only buy vinyl when purchasing d'n'b, dubstep, garage, and I buy MP3's when buying house / techno. Saves me a fuck load of money.
Definitely had my fair share of performing on all, but I'm more DVS/vinyl nowadays.
real djs spin everything. if you dont...YOURE NOT OLD'S COOL ENOUGH.
