Getting back to Djing after 10 years or so! Would love some input!!

Hey what's up guys, I've been spinning for about over decade or soand stopped for personal reasons. I recently snapped my ankle skateboarding so I wanted to hop back on the tables again. I purchased a new Mac, but since my rane 62 wasn't supported by Serato DJ (new OS) anymore so I was just stuck with 2 technics and a Seratoless mixer. But I recently made a prucahse of phase, pioneer s DJM11 (was thinking of DJM S9 but since it was discontinued I was afraid something similar would happen like it did with my Rane62. Anyway, The External HD I have (LACIE) has a fire wire 400 connection and I'm unable to find any legit adapters. it does have connection for fire 800 as well but from my memory the firewire 800 wasn't working properly so fire wire 400 was the only way I were able to transfer my music. it might've been the cord but if anyone has any input for a dj that's getting back in the game I'd really appreciate it. I spin mostly hip hop so I was just gonna join some record pools, DMS (for unremixed original 90's &00's). Or if anyone know better pools with those song please lmk. for premium it’s bit pricey compared to other pools but from what I remember that was the only pool that had the whole selection of the oldies. Also if you have any input on pioneer djm s11, or any input how to use streaming since that’s still new to me as well. Thanks in advance!

its simple, if you want to get back in the game you need to upgrade your gears,
pick up a decent laptop and hard drive, and make sure it can run Serato 4.1 without issue,

external hard drives are cheap these days, even SSD external drives.

if you're looking for unremixed old tracks then Tidal and Spotify have it all,

also get a updated mixer that can run Serato,

really up to you, if you want to get back in the game and your setups from 1993,
you need to spend money. good luck.

It does say they have bought an S11, Phase and a new Mac so I think they are good to go.

Hey Bro dont go out and spend money you are cool with what you got. Its not your equipment the variable that makes it happen is you.


So take a moment and go back in time those cables and anything else you need are out there you just need to search harder.

I have a video on Beat Count 1 something so common but not of people can use it as a refresher like you since you are getting back in the game

Enjoy have fun and Make 26 a good one

You can also buy a new external case and move the hard drive out of the Lacie case, it is a standard hard drive in there.
