Where can i get a good DJ set?

Ya in the future I want to get a DJ set but i really don't know how much it cost or where i can get it. I don't know what is good quality for them and a god price. So i was wondering if anybody can help me out.

Are you talking about equipment or recorded live sets?

Like equipment like turntables and mixers

umm... i forgot the store's name... but its very close to release records downtown..(527 Yonge St.Toronto, Ontario CANADA M4Y 1Y5) its on the other side of the street close to the Macdonalds. the owner is a brown guy with a turban on his head... very cool guy... talks funny too so its always fun to go down to his store... decent prices.. ebay is not too bad
if ur gettin turntables... technics 1200.. if CDJz Pioneer 1000
anything else is a waste. i hope i was a help... good luck

hmm i'll look into those thanx

There's this option too...

Metro Sound and Music.


Or check out Steve's or Long & McQuade.




p.s. Also, are you taking the dj'ing thing seriously? cause if u are then buy all the good stuff. Otherwise, if u're just starting off, and want something for fun, but might end up taking it serious... but don;t know yet. U could buy a starter's kit. complete with Tables and mixer. Buy the lower end stuff. Some are fairly decent and you won't have to spend all u're OSAP on it.

before dishing out a few g's on top notch gear, you should check around online for beginner kits.(everything included).Learning to beatmatch can be a long and frustrating process, and if ya dish out top dollar and find that mixing aint for ya...needless to say it sucks.

I'm willing to learn, what ever it takes i will learn .

ebays alright..i got my stuff from http://www.worldelectronicmarket.com
they're really good, couple of friends got stuff from there too.
and if ur gettin cd players, dont waste your money on the pioneer cdj-1000s if your just starting out, way too much money and you wont need the extra features, get the cdj-800 or if u wanna go cheaper the cdj-200 are ok.

Ya workin my way up sounds like a better idea. That's what i kinda did with the software programs, worked my way up.

I'm with Stiles on this one...

If you're getting into it, don't mess around with the cheap stuff. You get what you pay for with electronics. Cheap gear will only prolong your learning frustration. It also won't give you a true feel for beatmatching and manipulation. Most companies on the market use newbie's lack of knowledge against them.. and will usually trick you into buying their product based on look or features. IGNORE FEATURES.. they cost you money and are rarely worth it.

However, if you need to skimp out, do it on the mixer, amp or speakers to begin with. Those things can easily be upgraded later and won't seriously impact the development of your mixing technique. If you're interested in turntables, don't get anything but Technics. Some may argue differently, but there is no other true-feel turntable on the market. As I said before, don't be fooled by fancy LCDs and gizmos like BPM counters, reverse effects or other retarded "wow-factor" add-ons. They're pointless and will only get you off on the wrong foot.

What was mentioned previously about CDJs... they're bang on. 200s if you're broke... if you can splurge on 800s do it... no need to jump up to the 1000s.

That's my two sense...

Well thanx for the help I just want to know what's out there so i can save enough to buy a good quality one.

I remember, way back in the day when I was little, I wanted to be an astronaut. After my mom bought me a spacesuit, I saved up a few billion for a space shuttle, but only after my first trip to the moon I found out it wasn't for me.

If we only had eBay then, I could have sold my stuff there.
