Even basic DJ gear often offers access to samplers, effects, flexible hardware inputs and other features that let users try a multitude of approaches. For one thing, as much as modern technology has made DJing easy, it’s also massively expanded the scope of what’s possible. That might sound like a bleak outlook, but it’s only half the picture. While many DJs, understandably, still hold a candle for vinyl records, the old need to find, purchase and transport your collection in a physical format introduced a significant barrier in terms of cost and practicality that simply isn’t there anymore. The whole process of finding, collecting and playing music has become exponentially more accessible with the rise in digital music.

It’s not only beatmatching that has become easier in the past few decades though. The advent of CDJs, which were significantly more precise and would display the BPM of the current playing track, made beatmatching instantly simpler, and things have only become easier since then. Back in the ‘80s or ‘90s club DJing meant using two or more vinyl turntables and manually matching BPMs using nothing more than pitch faders along with your hands and ears. We don’t mean this as a dig at the younger generation of DJs, in the way that some bitter old timers might, but it’s ultimately true. What’s more, the honest truth is that DJing has never been easier, at least on a technical level.
