Stupid question Is it ok to start dj-ing with CDJ's 1000mk3?
I'm talking about all the features and the complexity of this kind of equipment that can confuse you.
Until now I used only software like Ableton but now I'm thinking about something serious. I think that quality is more important than the price so it won't be a problem for me.

Btw sorry for my bad english

If you can afford it...why not? Despite all it's extras, it still works the same, in principle, as a cdj-200.

I wanted to hear some of your thoughts on this for a first-time setup:
I found a good deal on a pair of used Technics SL1210mk2 & an A&H Xone:62 mixer. I want to go the digital route so I was also thinking of purchasing an A&H Xone:1D midi controller and Traktor Scratch Pro.. I don't plan on buying a MacBook Pro so I'd probably stick with my semi-new Dell laptop.

If you've got the money for it then you're on to a good set up there.

Techs are solid, even second hand.
The 62 is also a great mixer if you don't mind the cueing limitations, some people don't others do.
Traktor Scratch Pro is great if a little daunting at first (trying to know what every feature does/beat gridding/ etc etc..

Macbook pro isn't necessary. So you should be fine.

cool, thanks for the advice. The guy who is selling it isn't too far from my work, so I'll probably check it out this week.

Do you mind me asking you how much he's looking for? Just to make sure you're not getting ripped off as i know Irish prices can be massively inflated sometimes.

Has anyone checked out the CDJ 350's, or anything like it? Are Pioneer CDJ's still the only way to go.
