I'm sure it's still in me, but I have just been more interested in DJing. I think part of it has to do with me listening to so much older music and comparing mine to theirs, and realizing that I need to learn music theory and nearly master it to get where I want to.Scratching does seem hella fun though, I've always had an interest in doing that. When I do parties, I doubt I'll get to scratch a lot though.

To everybody that responded....I'm definitely using whatever is compatible with a laptop, and that sounds like Serato. I won't even attempt to go vinyl unless I had thousands of dollars, or unless I met a DJ who was retiring and really didn't want any of his records (which would never happen)....or unless those vinyl burning programs got real cheap and were effective.I saw a lot of people mention Serato and the other main one...and for what I do, I don't think I'd be dying for them, but it would definitely help, and I'm sure it'll be a good investment for the future. Thanks for the responses though
I used straight vinyl for about 6 years. As of last year my homie turned me on to Serato. I got 2 Technics 1200 M3D's and about 2 months ago I got the Rane TTM57SL with Serato built into it. I say go with a laptop and Serato man. It's simple, and it gets the job done. It's also way easier than lugging around records to every gig. You got the choice of sticking with vinyl or going the cd-j route as well. I use both, depending on what the venue has. If the venue doesn't have house decks then I bring my 1200's.
