i started off on 4 year old soundlab dlp1's and now a 1 year and 3
months later i use technics! i now play at free parties and some small
club nights around london! the point is it doesn't matter what decks u
have aslong as you can mix on them! but in saying this i will contradict
myself in way; i have used t1210's for about 6 months and this is when
the mixing progressed exponetially! personally i think technics are the
good shit and if you have a great love for music that's all you
need!!!!!!
Good Luck!!!!
