Only started around 2 months ago and got the DDJ200 just to see if I could pick it up as I've been big into music for 20+ years. The progress I've made is fantastic but I have the DDJ400 and a laptop arriving today as there's so much more I feel I can do now. The DDJ400 was the choice for me as further progression and upgrades in the future like you say in the video everything is basically in the same place on the DDJ400 as the better versions of pioneer equipment. Why I didn't take this up a long time ago was a massive mistake but onwards and upwards 🎵👌

@@djkit absolutely love the DDJ400s night and day between them and the DDJ200s done a tech trance mix 1 hour 10 mins and recorders a video for once usually only done audio. Turned out that well I've started a KZbin channel, have the mix up with a thumbnail and about to do a happy hardcore mid 90s mix. I've still alot to learn but a few friends that are DJs and done some big clubs here in Northern Ireland and one of them even Ibiza they're telling me you wouldn't think im a complete beginner to this. I knew the basics and have an ear for music and good vocabulary of music across most genres. Im feeling good right now even if I will only ever be a bedroom/house party DJ it's still making me feel great. Will get watching some more of your tips and tutorials thanks for the reply.

For me, Serato DJ lite and rekordbox 5.8 is good enough. When u have skills then consider an upgrade. :)
