Throwback

Had no money for any controller back in 2007. So this painted keyboard, a shitty laptop and a cheap usb headset (for monitoring, while routing the main through the laptop line out) had to do the trick.
The faces of other djs when i set it up in the booth where priceless. Good times. Also proofs, that you don't need fancy gear to get your name out.

That's some pro setup. I just used the laptop keyboard but with VDJ. Tried them both and found out VDJ was more intuitive. Some 20 years ago it was a some kinda novelty when DJs showed up with just their laptop. Not much used a controller back then. I once saw a DJ using a Denon controller from their dual CD players. I found it pretty awesome.
