i literally just got introduced to the mixing world with traktor scratch duo... present from my dad, merry christmas everyone.
so i've got it all downloaded, set up completed, but i actually have no idea what im doing. but i have a huge interest in music, and i'm so anxious to know how to use my new equipment. i have a few questions that'll probably take you pro's seconds to answer so please help me out!
-soo i need a set of turntables right? i heard technics 1200s are a good starting place.. any other suggestions?
-whats the difference between turntables and a controller.. in terms of mixing music?
-all i have is my A4DJ connected to my mac through a usb; i can't hear sound when i play a track through traktor, is that because i don't have turntables hooked up?

i'm a totally helpless girl if you can't tell by now. i guess that's all the questions i have because that's as far as i've gotten so far ha. help is appreciated, thanks guys

explain your routing!
scratch duo... get some tables or CDJs
turns=olskool style djn, controller = nuskool/easier

quite abit of fun tho! I got mine about a month ago... run thru ma 1200s & 2 external mixers .. FUNTIMES!

It really depends on what you want to do and where you want to go... I use controllers and turntables both... Prefer the vinyl feel, but some see them as a hassle... Experiment, experiment, experiment... Merry Christmas and good luck!

i use serato for djing. I use reason for production. Check out the songs in my sig...i started out djing...only to find that production is where my love was at

good stuff everyone thanks so much, i'm all over it!!! @dannylifted, i like what i heard
