You have 1200.00 USD, you're ideal setup would be...?

Hi all. So I think I may be ready to finally bite the bullet and purchase some equipment. I have no intention of playing in clubs or anything at this point. I just want to learn the basics and have fun mixing. I know I want CD format over turntables. I was thinking a pair of CDJ-200's. I really have no idea in terms of mixers. My limit is around 1200.00 bucks. I'd love to hear any suggestions you guys have for where I should go with this.


Thanks!

hmm with 1200, i think i'd go with this if your going digital.

Pioneer DJM400
2 x Pioneer CDJ200

$1200? get a EFX-1000 with a DJM-300 mixer. A couple of tape players to add int.. DOPENESS!

Buy some CDJ-800 MKI for cheap or second hand, get yourself a good mixer (Pioneer DJM-707, Gemini UMX-SE,...) and let the fun begin!

Save another 1200$

golden words

you can get used cdj-800s for $800 (pair) and that leaves you with $400 to play with for your mixer. I would get a used Vestax PCV-275.

the rest of the money, should go towards some decent speakers.

1 200 US$ = 951.39935 �

so:

2x Citronic PD45: 2x 350�

1x Reloop RMX-40: 229�

A pair of CDJ800s and the cheap solid mixer du jour. Whatever that is. Maybe that Vestax.

I'd probably go for exactly what I have right now. This is quality equipment and I don't have a single complaint about it so far;

2x CDJ200
Vestax VMC002 or VMC004

where did you find an SSL for 450 bucks ??? can you give me a link please?

You can get it for $480 from djdeals.com but i've never seen it cheaper than that.

Bought mine on ebay for that much.
It was a demo in new condition.
It had not ever been powered on.

i concur.
cause my "ideal setup" could already use $1200 for a xone mixer

Haha, for real.




Thanks for giving me some options guys. As soon as graduation is over I'll be back in Miami to hopefully make a purchase. I'll keep you all updated.

go to djdeals.com and look up serato, then email them about the serato and they will give you their best price which is around $480

or go to http://www.agiprodj.com/ and do the same Both legit dealers

i just bought 2 Pioneer 1000 MK2 for $1250 today at a semi local shop

i recently bought 2 cdj800mk2's for about 1200 total

and today i dropped 700 on an a&h xone 32

goodbye bank account

you know you can get an Xone 62 for a lil over $100 extra!

unless you really like the 32.

AGI used to do it for 470 shipped, but I believe they recently raised their price to about 500.

well the decks i got were used, about a month old. But they have really killer deals there. Do a google on "chuck levins" and look for a site called something like Washington Music Center. Thats them.

Pio DJM-300 and 400 vs. a Vestax VMC 002 or 004...

Anyone have an opinion on these three mixers? Is the Pio really worth the extra money over the Vestax mixers?
