i use LIVE6 for making music rather than djing.
you get good support and tips on their forums and theyve got some good video tutorial downloads both on their site and on youtube etc.i never ever ever read manuals for things, i just like to get stuck right in there and do stuff via trial and error, THEN if u get stuck, see the manuakl to help you do what you want to do.
It is FACT that the best art and music comes from chaos (not reading manuals).
My opinion on the DJ side of things, i dont mind that everyone is making the switch to using cds or laptops for DJing. I dont really class mixing dance music as a skill much anyway. anyman and his dog can match a 'doof doof doof' beat and tweak cutoff knobs.
'Skilled' DJing , i'd class that as turntablists - looping different breaks (manually with 2 vinyls rather than a sampler!) and scratching and cutting stuff up. Thats REAL skills - and awesome to watch too - rather than some fanny with his "hands in the air" while tweaking a cutoff or resonance knob.
