Yes ... though I have an iPad as the live backup. I keep a 2nd laptop nearby and a small controller as well.
Just saying there are issues with any setup .. the all-in-ones don't relieve them, they just have a different set ..Seems just as easy and cheaper to have a second stand alone player ....if u need the peace of mind.... im cool with my back up plan...

...but seriously less distinguished!And I look good with hair ...Bozoed or not ...
What do you use? I use a laptop and I didn't spend a grand or 2. Even the backup laptop cost me $500 new. Also I see the crowd while I'm Djing an event. I don't stay bent over the whole time looking up songs to play.I truly would think most dj's would be happy to be less dependent on a laptop. it tacks on an extra grand or two onto your set up....its a ticking time bomb as far as reliability.... Visually it is such a distraction if you are trying to form a bond with your dancefloor... they look at you ...hunkered over behind your laptop... searching...squinting... might as well be playing spider solitaire with a light show...

I'm glad I'm not you. I don't have a preset mix to use at an event. I know how to read a crowd normally and will play the right music for an event. What if what you have preset isn't what a certain crowd wants, what do you do then?So just to clarify... you bring a second controller and laptop to every gig?
I have about 2 dozen relevent premade mix sets on an mp3 player as well as my phone along with every request slow and fast loaded on for each gig...i prerun them to my main board ...and can switch to either in a matter of seconds...

Apparently you didn't at the last event where they asked you to play something else ..I know how to read a crowd normally and will play the right music for an event.

... But having people looking white DJing reminds me of this...
That time was before the dance was to begin.. so I'm not use to playing dance music at that time.Apparently you didn't at the last event where they asked you to play something else ..
Still part of "reading the crowd" ..That time was before the dance was to begin.. so I'm not use to playing dance music at that time.

I don't stay bent over the whole time looking up songs to play.
when people start looking at me instead of dancing I am not doing my job.
