I know how it works. I should admit it wasn't too hard for me but then I've grown up using record players since I was four or so.
But what I meant, usually a band brings bandmembers, guitars, drum kit, amps, the lot. Tiesto only has to bring his equipment. I can't see how this can be just as expensive. The DJ'ing itself is probably as tough as playing an instrument if you want to do it right

Edit: Just saw your pic, I was using real turntables. I think that makes it easier in a way. You don't have beat detection but you do have a direct 'grasp' on what your music is doing.
