    When you're learning to DJ, spent 90% of your time listening to, learning about, and buying music, and 10% leaning to beatmatch, mix, and learning about tech stuff.

    To many people do it the other way around.

    Is that 10% referencing DJ'ing via laptop or two turntables with Vinyl?

    Nah, it's 10% devoted to growing your fringe at an arty angle…

    Doesn't matter, whatever you use to DJ, you need to learn how to set-up and use the equipment. There's as much to learn about how to set-up a 1210 as a laptop set-up.

    Yeah, like knowing what that little chrome disc with the hole in it on the corner of the deck is used for.
