    How are ya finding Traktor John? Im trying to decide between Serato and Traktor, as I dont know whether to go for the longer established Serato, or Traktor which looks like having better options in future. Would you recommend Traktor? Cheers.

    Thanks so much for the add.

    Your book has been so helpful to me in the past year. My beatmatching skills are a lot better than they used to be ages ago, and you have a great sense of humour in your book too.

    Thanks for the add. Back in 2004 I used your site as guidance when learning to DJ. I remember one evening I was frustrated as I was having difficulties beatmatching and I browsed your site again and just happened to come across the section DJ preparation for a gig and I thought I was years away from this or I probably wouldn't get there. Well with time I improved and in 2006 & 2007 I was involved in the Babycream DJ comps in Leeds & Liverpool were I reached the semi-final stage. Just wanted to say a big thank you, your site really helped.

    I just wanna lay a big thanks to you recess. I dont know if u remember, but a while ago i came to u for advice as a person willing to start DJing (Jay), and you told me to just step up and do it. Well, as you can see by the new page, ive done it! I'm now working for a successful company and doing gigs in all sorts of venues. The best part is im doing something i'm passionate about. When your book comes out in Australia i'll be sure to buy it, and your webpage will do till then.

    To those out there that want to follow the same line, I fully reccommend doing it. Step out of your comfort zone and go out there and do it. Its well worth the reward :)

    Hi DJ Recess, thanx so much for the add man! DJing for Dummies is the best book I've ever read for learning how to DJ :D I wish I had the book back then when I was learning to DJ, lol..

    I am glad I know about this book and your website now. I'll get the book when I am back from vacation. I love music and was interested in learning some DJing in my spare time. I'll share my thoughts...
  • Jul 26 2007 11:34 PM

    Hey Recess thanks for the comment! I am alright, but unfortunately im a bit ripped away from my decks for a while because i have shingles in my arm :( ,
    funny I never thought I could have shingles at my age.

    Ah, the dude who helped me go from that "wanting to be a DJ" stage to "learning how to be a DJ"...

    ...that was almost 4 years ago now. Granted there was how to dj properly at a much later stage, but it was your site that helped in those initial baby steps the most. What was most encouraging was knowing that there was indeed a living, breathing human being behind it all.

    Just wanted to say thanks!

    Me giving your wife ideas?? Oh no! I just happen to believe that it is time for little Johns and Johnettes running around the house!!!! You two should at least have one kid because kids are a joy in everyone's life. Think about it.
  • May 19 2007 12:42 AM

    Hi John. It's been a long while! I hope you and your wife are doing good. Any little Johns or Johnettes soon? You two should! You need to pass down the skills to someone else! Ahaha, I'm just messing.

    Wel, I haven't found a good mixer that I like yet. Do you have any that you recommend or suggestions? And also, I'm aiming towards vinyls, cds, and mp3s. I like to mix them all. I love challenges even if I grow white hairs on my head. I'm getting my 1210s this weekend!!!! I'm so excited. ErrrrreEEKkkkkk!!

    Well thanks man!. Yeah we have a small group of people over here contributing to the hardcore scene (Milo, Sunrize, Reese, No Left Turn, Drew Derivative, etc) but it's not as popular as in the UK. Hopefully we'll be able to change that over time. Great job with the website, you're the reason that I was able to learn how to DJ so quickly and I can't thank you enough for that!
