Thanks for all the tips. I think I'll start with the laptop + traktor solution - since I'm eventually going to get a laptop anyway, it seems to be the easiest and cheapest way to get into the fun. Moreover, it can later be expanded with final scratch and turntables to include vinyl. I'm probably going to buy a cheap, used vinyl player for all my vinyl needs until I get some real equipment later in life. Then if I eventually decide to go all turntable, I might already have a few pieces of vinyl to start with. I still have a few questions, tho. First of all, how applicable is the knowledge learned with Traktor to vinyl-spinning? I mean if I get all badass with Traktor, can I transport all my badassery to actual turntable-DJing, or do I have to start learning from zero? Second, when buying a used vinyl player, what things should I look especially carefully? Any companies that have made quality products for all of the last 60 or so years? tanks. .: visa tapani --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
