Is this a good DJ setup to start with??

I'm new to DJ'ing with hardware. I've only tried mixing with mp3's on my computer...

This is the setup I've put together:

Double CD-Player: Omnitronic CDP-381 Omega
Mixer: Omnitronic DJ-50

You'll find more info here:
CD-Player: http://www.omnitronic.de/showproduc...0602261&lang=en

Mixer: http://www.omnitronic.de/showproduc...0006573&lang=en

The price for all this is 7000 Norwegian kroner (or about 843 $)

I don't want to spend more cash than 10.000 Nkr (or 1205 $)...
And mixing with CD's are my only alternative right now.

So... is this a good setup to start with?
Has any1 got the same setup??
Or have any1 tested these DJ Tools???


Btw... Do u need 2 have a mixer with High,Mid & Bass knobs to mix Trance?
Because the Low-price mixers do not have these knobs...

looks like an American DJ deck

looks like something good to start with........but if you ever plan on being serious your going to have to upgrade

Ya I would have to agree with Liquid
I Dont think those things are gonna last though...

Ok.. thanx for the replies guys..

How much $$$ do u think I should spend to get a good setup?

I don't know that cd player looks pretty crappy, I have been mixing with cds for a while now, and a jog wheel is really nice, pitch bend buttons, just arent responsive enough.

maybe you should check out the numark fusion series. they are pretty good and affordable. You can get a whole set-up from pssl.com for $599 US, and It even has a soft case and headphones. (note this is a table top system, not a rack mount if that matters.)

Thanx for the tip DJ Zinni...

That set looks cool, although the crossfader on that mixer has a long
travelling distance (if u know what I mean?).
Or isn't that important?

What about this one:

http://pssl.com/bitemdetail.tpl?com...002051308323329

What brand is best btw: Numark, Pioneer and so on?

That mixer looks okay for beginners, but I'm sure as you improve quickly you would want a better one very soon.

yah dude u have to hav ethe hi,mid,bass buttons
and dont forget the GAIN (which lowers or highers the volume of the track)

Don't spend too much money on the initial setup.
Spend money on the records!
Also, why CD players? Are you sure you don't want turntables?

Dude, You can but a set of 2 Pioneer CDJ100 for 300$ each.
And you can buy Stanton RM3-S mixer... Its a good mixer and not so expensive...
The package will cost you smth like 800-850 dollars...

I would sugest a Pioneer DJM-300 to mix with

it's a good startoutmixer that will last for pretty long


if you go with cd i would sugest a denon dual cd-player or a set of CDJ-100s

I can't have turntables yet. I live in a town where people think that vinyls are a thing from the 80's

And if I should start buying vinyls it would be very expensive, because I would have to order them over the internet... and that costs very much

So cd's are my only alternative for now

But when I someday move to a big city I'm gonna buy vinyls like a madman


And thanx for all the help guys, I'm checking out every setup u recommend. Keep em comin'

What do ya think about this set then??

Man I wish that vestax mixer had 3-band EQ and not a 2-band, or I would have bought it. that is my only problem with it, If you are gonna buy a vestax mixer, I would save the extra cash and get the 3 channel version, because it has a 3-band eq.

Also to answer your earlier question, I doubt that the longer crossfader will make a differance. but one thing too is that the numark mixer, shows you a readout of the level on each individual channel, I dont know if the vestax does this, but it allows you to visually see if your kicks are matching.

hope this helps some, I know what it is like trying to buy your first equipment.

Yeah, I might buy this mixer instead of the Vestax:

Btw.. What is important when you buy your first setup?
What features on the mixer are important to mix mainly Trance??
What features should the cd-players have???
