Gotta love it.

When I was researching the book, the amount of people who I'd get in touch with who said pretty much the same thing, that they'd got their starts because of my site was incredible. Kinda humbling in some ways - in others, I think 'Damn, I shoulda written a book years ago'.

As to the CDJ thing - I did think that, but wondered why you still use the Mark 1 1000's when you obviously seem a 'kit-head' and go for the good stuff - so I thought I'd ask.

Cheers for clearing things up though.

indeed, it was a great resource, i learned the foundations of beatmatching from there.

and yes, i am a gear head, and would love to upgrade my CDJs. but pioneer has simply priced them too high!

i could sell my CDJ1000s for about $600 each. new CDJ1000MK3 are a whopping $1585! so, i couldn't even afford ONE new one if i sold both the old ones.

for now, they do the trick, and are not worth spending another $2500 or so to upgrade to the MK3s. i decided to upgrade my mixer instead, since it is the heart of the system.
