What do you use when you DJ?

I either use vinyl or Ableton Live, no CDJ's here (I would love to have a CDJ400 to just fool around with though...). I'm mainly vinyl though, I just use Live for tracks I don't have on vinyl. Luckily for us dubstep fans, vinyl is a pretty popular medium.

I would loveee to use Traktor with my TT's but my Powerbook G4 isn't compatable (Damn you Intel!)

Ableton Live with the WOW Filter, equisonix eq's,and the Effectrix for effects..

My setup is one computer and one turntable thru a dj mixer. One day I will get another deck and Serato.
Vinyl is my favorite, but all the cool shit computers can offer aren't going to be passed up either.

i'd like to say i go 100% vinyl (i know i'd love to if i could cut dubs all day), but with every set ive got at least 2-3 digi tracks i play.

3 x CDJ1000s and pref. DJM600 (or 800 if available)

Gutted that I haven't converted most of my vinyl into digital format though, so I've got crates of tunes at home and nothing to play them on

Vinyl- because I only have turntables and I am not good enough to play out on other gear.

I am a purist and will only ever DJ with Vinyl. Maybe if I started making tunes I were happy to play out I may play a few CDRs but would rather play a record.

Next step would be live stuff.

I recently switched to vinyl but not 100% exclusive, purely becuase you can get more stuff and its more satisfying getting a record that goes out of print or is quite rare etc.

Probably about 50/50 in my live sets at the moment.

Strictly vinyl for DJ sets.

Strictly hardware for live sets.

Computer stays in the bedroom.

WOW filter eh? Damn I'm using live 6 and don't know the WOW filter. Probably sickness.

With the effectrix you can do backspins and all kinds of cool effects..

no money for the dubplates so I use torq with vinyl connected to my lappy at home for my radio shows

live shows I use cdj's (no messing with cables & the like during the performance)
