Best gear to get moving into live situation?
Hello,
Ok to get started my current gear is a numark mixtrack pro and a kontrol X1. using traktor pro 2.5.
I am looking to find suitable gear to get into a live situation, i have been asked to play in some bars now and affraid my gear isnt any good for this. (people tell me its impossible to use this gear in live setup)
I like to use samples and mix things up, so buying the F1 will deffinatly be a great addition. (atleast i beleave it will) at the moment my sets are very planned as i cant record loops on the fly and would like to do this to make things sound less planned out. a controller where i can record loops import to sample decks and use or can the F1 do this ? i want to be using the mouse alot less than i do infact i dont ever want to use the mouse when i was djing 10 years ago i didnt have a mouse to help me out why should i now?
is a new controller even the way to be going should i be using cdjs and using f1 and x1 along side them and a mixer? if this is a route to be going what is needed to make things run perfect with traktor?
i dont make any money from djing at the moment and am finding it hard to fund this. i work support my family and to keeping having people tell me any cheap gear is complete worse option to take and use pioneer or these mixers and controllers over 1000 euros is way out of my range and actually am starting to loose passion in this with people saying dont use controllers dont use cdjs dont use that cheap gear i am so confused where i should be going, am i in the wrong type of hobby? to be able to push it and get live and make some cash from it would be somewhere i would like to take this.
so on to the main point here what do i do ?
do i head the cdj route ?
do i head the controller route?
or maybe even a all in one solution like mixdeck quad kind of thing?
something that will be very easy to use setup and make life easy would be amazing
which would be best option for taking out of the house and getting them live gigs going
Thanks for reading.
