Check it out folks. This is my first setup ever. I've got a djm800 hooked up to two cdj1000(mk3)'s and my desktop, which controls Ableton using the mixer's midi-controllable knobs. I also picked up a pair of technics rpdh1200's
tell me what you think!
and idoru... get the 1000's... i picked up some 800's yesterday and immediately returned them for these.

shit, i just got my cdj 200s a few months ago and they bring out a new deck.
Does the 400 have vinyl mode?

yes, the cdj400 has vinyl mode... however, that's about the only thing it has goin for it. It's got midi-controllable knobs and sliders (but those are sort of inconvenient being on a cd player rather than a mixer -- though it is still possible to use them for ableton or whatever you use). It's also got a usb connection to it, but that's hardly a reason to pay $400 USD extra per unit. You can just as easily and for much cheaper get a better midi controller. You probably made the right choice with the 200's even though you think you didn't. Also, since the cdj400's just came out, there aren't very many reviews on em yet. Unless you realllly reallly love scratching, you were probably right to steer clear of the 400's. And if you love scratching that much, why not spend the extra money on the 800's or 1000's and have a bigger scratch platter? 800's are almost the same price as the 400's, though I would never go back to those now that I have the 1000's.
