In this section we will introduce controller types in the context of conventional digital DJ set-ups.

We will explain how already existing DJ equipment can be integrated in a digital set-up, and/or which additional devices still need to be purchased.

In addition we present a buyers guide, so that you can complete your set-up with the minimum of fuss.
DJ set-up Recommendations
For beginners without the previously mentioned equipment and DJs who use only a Laptop, we recommend the controller-only set-up, as it's expandable and affordable.
For beginners who wish to take their skills forward, it is possible to integrate analog gear into a digital set-up. We recommend building a hybrid set-up or incorporating classic DJ techniques by utilizing the timecode set-up..
Vinyl / CD DJs, who want to introduce digital djing possibilities into their existing set-up, we recommend the expanded controller set-up, the timecode set-up or the expanded timecode set-up.
Vinyl / CD DJs who want to play digital files, but want to use their DJ-techniques learnt on traditional set-ups, we recommend the timecode set-up.
