Before i start let me just say - my knowledge of soul is very poor compared to you guys on this forum. I used to think i knew it all - but sadly i realise nowt. Anyway i wanna start Djing but aside from a handle full of Soul Lps all my music is on CD's. I know that is probably a dirty word on this site but the fact is i always bought albums and never singles. Dont get me worng i realise how much i've been missing since joining this forum (bit depressing really) but couldnt really afford to start a vinyl collection right now.
Anyway my question is? What would the possibility of Djing with cd's be or is it frowned upon. And if i was to go down this route what equipment would i be lookin at. My friend who DJ's Hip-Hop swears by the Pioneer CDJ800 and CDJ100.
