How's this for a pure beginner setup?

The brands aren't bad and to me it loos like a decent setup for a beginner like me. It will not be too big of a loss if I decide that DJing isn't for me

Let me offer this: don't go so cheap that you end up with gear that you are unable to use from the standpoint of actually enjoying yourself. Sure, there's no need to drop several grand on Pio CDJ1000s only to find out that 1.) you don't like DJing or 2.) you simply can't DJ even with a lot of practice.

Spend enough that you get good, reliable equipment that you can actually learn on with some ease. Also, if you have good equipment and suck, you are still able to sell it later and recoup some of your initial investment.

With that in mind, you can't go wrong with Pioneer CDJ200s from what I understand. Hell, I have the cheap Numark TT1625 turntables, and they've been spot on for me for nearly a year now.

Edit: I have Stanton phones and the cheap Numark mixer. Again, both have performed flawlessly. I'd do a double take on the CD players, though.

I would NOT suggest those CD players. They are cheap but they are also very cheaply made. Feel cheap and just crappy quality. I have tried them before, I wouldnt buy them.

How's this for a sticky thread that has a link to a thread exactly like this one?

http://www.tranceaddict.com/forums/...threadid=365858

please note how the sticky thread says "Read First". It's self-explanatory.

and those cdjs look shit.

I love the way inferior product desciptions include such bullshit as:

No other portable CD player in its price range has the quality and features of the Stanton S-250. The control panel and LED screen are toward the front of the unit, just where a DJ needs them.

I mean - it's hardly groundbreaking is it? It'd be worth mentioning only if every other products had been designed with the display panel on the underside of the unit...........

lol like if cdjs had the display in the back of them... hehe i got a good laugh out of it, nice to point that out!

save your money ever hear the expression you get wat you pay for which meansa you by cheap u get cheap lolz

Why anyone would buy any of that shit is beyond me. The amount of cheap budget DJ equipment flooding the market is huge.

to be honest...its all really really bad. ESPECIALLY that cd player...I actually thought the cd player was a joke at first.

You've all pretty much said everything that was on my mind. Crap setup.. I would never touch that equipment. Well, maybe for throwing it in a bonfire, but thats all.

luxor rocked 30,000 with those cdjs


EDIT: I seen it!

LMFAO @ CDJ Description!

Secondly, mixing on those would be possible, but very difficult espesh if you don't know what your doing.

I always belive you should start mixing on vinyl first. You can relate physically to what your doing to the music, hands on.

It's not essential, but I reckon it is benificial.

I'd aim for some CDJ's with a platter at least.

Pioneer CDJ500 or 1000 or 200, etc.

Go second hand too, since it will not cost you all that much for a pair of CDJ500's. I got a pair for �250.

from a purely economical standpoint, buying good used cdjs (such as cdj-800s) will be good if you find out djing isnt for you, because they will resale similar to what you paid. and if you decide you love to spin, well you have some great equipment at hand.

you can get a simple but good mixer, such as some simple vestax.

as for headphones... well there is a whole thread dedicated to them, knock yourself out.


razzi.

garbage cd player and headphones. I've used the cd player before, its so fucking whatever... I mean, there are soo much better cd players for just a little more $$... check out some of the numark duals... not bad at all for the price, and if you want to spend a bit more, denon duals... I dont like denons because i dont think they really stand up to club usage, and i played on denons a lot, but in your house, theyd be perfect.



Oh and as mentioned, please read the stickies. makes my life easier. this thread has some decent discussion about low end gear so ill leave it open, but most of the people who have been here a while realllly get sick of these threads.
