I like it. Much easier than pushing the needle over the vinyl like I
used to do!! No real challange however.
Used to be a lot of fun cueing songs off LPs that were continuous play
(no breaks between tracks). Have to wind them back a full turn from
the start of the wanted track - start the TT motor - then fade in the
audio at the exact moment that the needle reached the start of the
desired song
"time" from Pink Floyd's dark side of the moon LP was one painful
example of this process that I still remember to this day

I was fortunate enough to only do dance and electronic music which is
fairly easy to cue. I am just thinking about getting back in and doing
some dj work as a side project, but there is no skill involved
anymore. One thing I'll give this modern gear is it's cheap as chips
to get going. All you need is a 'puter, a program, amp and speakers. I
guess buying the music is stilll going to cost.

You should check around and see if there's a course - I did one forThat's a fair effort indeed.
