I'm toying with the idea of, at least partially, switching to digital. Vinyl's taking up too much space and my budget for overseas purchases may be drying up. So going digital as much as possible would be a help, but only so long as it makes sense financially and is still pleasant to use.
I'm hoping people with a good bit of experience might be able to get into some detail on the ins and outs of systems they know.
We've had a [URL="http://www.dissensus.com/showthread.php?t=4611]Traktor thread[/URL] but it was short and I imagine the software and gear have moved on a bit.
As I see it, my options are:
1. CDJs
Probably my preferred route but too damned expensive. Next...
2. Virtual vinyl a la Traktor or Serato
I've got an NI I/O box already so all I'd need is the Traktor software and the data records. I still want to 'touch' what I'm playing, however virtually.
3. Ableton with a DJ-type controller.
I've used Ableton forever but not live because I'm not keen on standing around clicking squares and triangles. What I'd love is not worrying about tempo lock. The controllers seem pricey though.
Thanks
