What's the most basic & cheep setting that you can get?

I need a good mixer & cdjs recommendation to start with.

Thanks,
Omer.

2X Pioneer CDJ 200, or Denon DN-S1000 approx $350 - $399 each
Numark DXM-06, Stanton M303, Denon DN-X100, Vestax VMC-004, used Pioneer DJM 300 or Vestax PCV-275...approx $199 - $299

that's about the cheapest your going to get, around $1,000. Sure you can get one of those all in one deals from Numark (CDMix) or starter packs from Gemini, but those are REALLY cheap and not worth your money.

So Gemini is that bad?
What about their 2 channels mixer?
And I liked the Pioneer CDJ 100 and that 2 channels mixer of Pioneer.
How much do they cost in total?

Thanks,
Omer

Another thread that has been covered numerous amounts of time. Use the search people, it's really not that hard.

2x Pioneer cdj 200's
1x Numark DXM 06

if you're spinning cds.

Fuck all if I know about vinyl.

Yeah Gemini is known as a company that makes cheap DJ equipment, like American DJ/American Audio. Numark and Stanton are a little better, but Pioneer and Denon are known as the best companies for CDJs. No, if your going to get a 2 channel mixer, look at the Denon one I mentioned, or possibly a Numark or Stanton 2 Channel, that isn't under $100...those are old cheap things that wont last. They don't make Pioneer CDJ 100s anymore, but you can find them used, probably for around $150 - $200 each.

I'de save up another $150 - $200 though..and get a CDJ 200, because the device is so much better and more precise. You only have 0.1 pitch resolution on a CDJ 100, and that is quite inaccurate. Your better off with a player with .05 or .02 pitch resolution. The trick is to save money by get equipment that will last you (if you do enjoy it) and have better re-sale value if you decide it's not for you. You wont get much if you sell a CDJ 100...they have depreciated quite a bit.

thanks mate.

cheers,
Omer.

cdj 200s ftw

Stay clear of behringer mixers. I learned that the hard way.

Yeah Behringer is up there with Gemini making crap mixers...and DJ equipment period. Probably the best thing they do have our those Truth monitors that a lot of people seem to like....but they can't beat KRK's monitors IMO.

What about the Pioneer DJM600 mixer?
Is it cheap? Is it any good?

It's been out for years now so it's not the newest technology. It IS seen a lot still in club setups though. The DJM 400 (2 ch) and DJM 800 (4 ch) are the new kids on the block.

And for a starter set up, the DJM 600 isn't neccessary unless your planning to add two more CDJs or two TTs. And most people nowadays are starting out on CDJs, because you can find mostly the same tracks digitally as you can on vinyl...and some exclusively digital, including some out of print releases.

best CDJ out there, pound for pound, is the Pio CDJ-200. DO NOT GET THE DENON COUNTERPART. the Denon 1000 is crappy, will break down on you, and even when it IS working, it sucks. jogwheel isn't in fluid motion, and the pitch is very unprecise. for the price, you can get a CDJ-200, which is quality, will treat you good if you treat it good, and has the most precise pitch in the industry. you get 3 onboard effects, and mp3 playback (no VBR mp3s), +/-0.02% pitch increments, and text display. the only thing you could want to add is vinyl emulation, which it doesn't have.

mixers? i'd say Vestax PCV-275. i've never actually used it, but it appears to be quite solid. i'm in the need for a new mixer myself, so i'd like to ask to anyone who has one:

do the faders work smoothly? i mean, not like the POS Stanton RM-3s or Behringher mixers, where only the top 20% of the way makes any difference.

anyways, IMO, stear clear from Denon CDJs, and Stanton mixers [they suck... but they seem to be durable tho. you might wanna check em out]. i won't even mention Behringer mixers, just say no (altho if you want something cheap that will work considerably well before it breaks down, a VMX300 is not a bad choice).

headphones? buy once, buy well. i've only owned one pair of cans, Sony MDR-7506s. they can go loud, they can go low, they have a nice flat response, they can take a nice beating (metal frame, not plastic), they are good for production, and they are quite comfy.

so again
2x Pioneer CDJ-200s
Vestax PCV-275
Sony MDR-V7506

thanks guys

FIXED!!!

To reiterate,

Pioneer CDJ-200s
Ecler Nuo 2

Don't get the Vestax PCV-275, man. It's not even up to par with other mixers available today. And I own one, as a backup.

ok, thats a great point. on another note, if i were to buy a PCV, all i ask of it is to not crap out on me after a year, and to have faders that actuall FADE smoothly. does it do that job correctly?

Does anyone know anything about the Technics SL-DZ1200

As CDJ's get CDj-200, Mixer: Vestax VMC-004, and Sennheisers HD-212 for headphones.

what about the Vestax PMC-06ProA VCA Mixer (What the hell is a VCA mixer anyway?)

and looking at your Vestax VCM-004, do i really need to have a 4 channel mixer if I am going to be DJing? Wouldn't 2 be enough?
