Ive been a crazy vinyl purist for many many years, but Im opening up to the other options, I think as djs we have to at least know how to use the technology out there or risk being left in the dust.. At this point I only use vinyl when play out but Ive been enjoying experimenting with some of the new stuff... I really enjoy using Traktor and Final Scratch, and the new Traktor can sync right into an Ipod which is cool , the pioneer and Technic Digital tables are fun to use and as mentioned Abelton Live can be crazy too when used with the M-Audio X Session.. I tryed it out last night and had a blast. That little mixer lets you go nuts! Its like controlling Abelton live with a dj mixer. lots of fun. I also like the fact that the Technics digital table reads memroy cards and plays mp3 files... Thats a huge step.. Now you can carry all your tracks in your wallet on memory cards that are smaller than match books.
