I went to a café in the city where I live, and I saw this guy in there, he had a MacBook, two turntable decks, and some other gadgets. He was getting ready to play a set. He looked busy so I didn’t bother to ask what all his equipment did, but I thought I would come home and research it.

As my question suggests, I’d like to know what hardware I would need to do the same stuff as that guy. I have seen people use turntables, but also midi controllers. I’ve always heard of people using software mixers and also hardware mixers. What are the differences between these set ups? What do you think the ideal set up would be? If you have any ideas, please write to me here.
