So a little backstory about my journey as a DJ. My brother bought me a Numark Mixtrack Pro 1 DJ controller as a birthday present in 2018. I liked the craft and decided to upgrade to a Pioneer DDJ-SB3. One day I went to Guitar Center to buy a Decksaver for my SB3 and they had a Pioneer DDJ-SX2 for sale for like $389, which was a steal so I bought it and returned the SB3 the next day. I loved the SX2, and soon after my brother gave me two Gemini PT 2000 II turntables and I hooked them up to my SX2 using Serato DVS. I fell in love with vinyl and had been slowly collecting vinyl to play on my Numark PT01 Touring turntable anyway. Beat juggling was a bit hard with the distance between the turntables with the SX2 in the middle, so I got a Numark Scratch DJ Mixer. The Scratch is a dope mixer, which I’ll review in my Reviews section soon, but it lacked a lot of features. I also have a Reloop Neon sub controller that I was using with the Scratch which made things a bit better, but I was able to get a Reloop Elite mixer shortly thereafter. I also upgraded to two new Audio Technica 1240XP decks before getting the mixers, so I have a dope decent setup they I intended to use as a side business to make some extra money. I’ve run into some financial issues so no more upgrading my DJ setup, but I really don’t need to. I’m all set with it and once COVID subsides I plan on using the equipment to generate some revenue, which was what I was thinking in the first place when I bought it a while back. I work in IT full time, but I love DJing and would like to do it part time on the weekends or evenings. I plan on doing reviews for all the equipment I’ve gotten a chance to use personally, so check that page for those reviews shortly. I’m still getting this site going, but hopefully it will be popping right pretty soon. Anyway that’s kind of my journey with DJ gear, and I love the craft. If you ever want to buy me a gift, get me some vinyl music and I’ll be a happy camper. Peace and stay black! (Again, cause you ALL come from the land they are calling “Africa” anyway)
