attn djs: where are the music store in TO?

i'm looking to start djing as a hobby and i'm looking in to getting some cdj's and a mixer. just something small to start off with but nothing crappy. but where are the stores that sell stuff?
i've googled and nothing.
where do you guys buy your stuff?

thx

keep an eye out for people looking to sell their stuff (usually to upgrade). i ended up finding mine here on TA, and got an amazing deal..... if your looking to start off - i would recommend my set up in a heart beat.

2 X cd-j 200's

1 X behringer djm700

if you look hard enough, you will likely be able to get all three for roughly $750-$900

i think that mixer is a little much to start with.
i was thinking more along the lines of vestax's vmc002.

dont go for cheap just cos ur inexperienced...ive always followed the rule of buying somehing really good or on average so that when u DO get good at what ur doing, u dont have to spend yet again to upgrade..and if u get a good mixer/CDJ, and then decide that this isnt what u want to do, u still have some resale value rather than selling it for pennies


PS. stay away from vestax

hmmm...good point.
so now i know to stay away from vestax and numark
so pioneer cdj's and possibly a behringer mixer...hmm
thanks for your help so far guys.


now i know that a store has more products then TA so anyone know of some stores in toronto area?

for mixers, even the pioneers are good...try the DJM-600 for averagely good


or just pay an arm and a leg for the beautiful DJM 800 which zabiela made us drop our jobs showing us the possibilities with it on tuesday

i don't think i'd be wanting to shell out around $1000 for just the mixer. maybe around 3-400. also is 4 channel really needed or can i stick with 2 channel?

the behringers are just replicas, you can try out the feautures of a high end mixer to see what like without paying thousands of dollars.

don't go with the 600...such a rip-off.

yea...exactly, used to be good. there's much better, and cheaper mixers out there nowadays.

uh..yea...so they should go for the djm-600 instead? which goes for about the same

i wouldve thought the price wouldve dropped with the coming of the 1000 and 800

Xone92 goes for 1899. DJM-600 goes for 1599. Not a very big difference once you get to those prices imo. The 600 may have been the standard a couple of years ago, and that price was definately justifiable back then...but there's much better alternatives available nowadays, for the same price or even less.

the djm-600 is not a rip off at all. imo one of the best mixers you can get.

do you have alot of experience with this mixer, or is it just from word of mouth?

the xone is probabaly a little better but it all depends on what you feel comfortable with, and how much money you are willing to spend.

hes basing his judgment on comparison with the xone 92 i assume

i'm looking to spend $1000 for everything. (everything as in mixer and 2 cd players.)
http://www.axemusic.com/product.asp...=2145&PT_ID=143 djm-600 is too expensive for me. plus, i don't think i need a 4 channel mixer. 2 channel something simple but with features would be good.
and would a cdj100 be too simple compared to the 200?

i know. hahahaha. its just hard to make a judgement like that when you have never really played on the equipment before.

(id go for the DJM 800 over that anyday...but then again im sticking to my middi controller..lol)

old news liam.

so here's a funny gif


and i'm starting to think cdj100's (unless there is a major reason why i should pay a lot more for something else)and possibly this Behringer the DM626.

The reason why I think it's a rip-off is because, in my opinion, you pay too much and dont' get enough in return. I'm not saying that it's a bad mixer per se, because it's far from being bad. I just think that it being such an old mixer, and with so many mixers that offer more features, better sound quality and so forth...it's hard to justify that pricetag.

I don't know why we're comparing it to the Xone though, as the 2 mixers offer a totally different experience. Like you said though, it all comes down to what you're more comfortable with, preferences, and so on.
