I have to admit I'm somewhat a poser myself. I'm afraid I have to retreat from DJing for now as I am in the tiniest room with no furniture of my own and no car. I'm trying have the attitude that I can do it with less, with nothing, just my MBPro. But to be honest, I want something with a crossfader and dials to learn on. I'd really be stoked to get a used DDJ-SB2, but I just don't have the dang room on a 30x30" round table.
I'm going keep listing out tracks in my head that IMHO would have sick crossover. I just bought a Presonus Atom (8"x8") and 32-key M-audio keyboard (16"x4") so I can put these hands to work. I've gotta make beats! All this listening to Youtube and table tapping has to go somewhere. I have years of experience as a musician, I've even had my own personal studio with a TT patch bay, so I know I can produce music. But I want to focus money I can be honest/practical with and get something done. I don't want to end up like the fat guy with a Soloflex and I'm afraid that's where that's headed until I have a wider desktop.
Hopefully I can put some good rhythms and grooves together and come back soon with questions on hardware integration. Thanks for the pointers though, I imagine any party scene could be filled with posers. I went to a liberal arts college in New Mexico filled with all-nighter ravey do-nothing 'students' that didn't even have to be DJs to pose. They just needed to look like Oakenfold with sunglasses on, pose accomplished.
