i started my journey into djing in 1986. i started off scratching with 2 fischer price turntables. in 1988 my cousin gave me a setup (2 gemini djq1200's and a radio shack mixer).. that was then and over the years i've had lots of setups but now i have a pair of technics sl1200mk2's(i love 12's) ,a pioneer 909 mixer and i use serato and virtual dj from time to time , but i don't rely on it because i still know how to mix manually (i didn't come up in the dj game in the computer era)
