Hell yeah man, those are some good old school names to be picking up! I started back in the late 90s myself, primarily in the drum and bass scene, but have done a bunch of different stuff over the years. I am happy to say though that it's back to being a hobby for me, lol. I did the pro DJ/producer/sound engineer/promoter life for way too long, lol. I actually had the Numark controller for a short time, but returned it because it didn't work out for me. Had some weird power issues and kept messing with the tracks in a bad way.

I was actually just looking at picking up the Pioneer DDJ Rev 5 controller myself. Not sure if I want to spend the money though because I am not really playing out anymore and it's just for my personal studio use. I am thinking the Rev 1 will be fine for $300 vs $1200, lol.

Anyway, good luck with your shows!
