I know this is a great mixer but is it suitable for a beginner DJ?

And...........what's the avg used price on this?

A new one will cost me almost 1G.............

Thanks

why do you want this one so bad?

this mixer is an exellent choice for a DJ of any skill. I highly recommend it. you can pick up a new one for about $800 USD if you know where to shop on-line. http://www.hollywooddj.com and http://www.123dj.com

Used ones aren't too much cheaper because these mixers are in high demand and hold their resale value well.

If you feel like saving about $250 more than you can get the DJM-600, which has a few more nice features, definetely worth the upcharge.

Love at first sight..............it has so many great features!!

My first mixer was a pioneer 500. Best purchase i have ever made. its sooo easy to use and hella fun at that. I had been spinning for almost 2 years before i got my set though

i just picked up a djm 500 from ebay about 2 weeks ago...im really satisfied with it. its a quality mixer. I recoomend if u got the money for it to go get it

i wanted to get the 500, but i didnt want the beat counter thingy. Its not good to rely on it

u've got to be kidding me...the beat counter? i have never and will never use mine (rely on mixing)..

in fact i dont even notice it

one thing it will help you do is set the effects correctly. you've gotta do the math to make them sound good (the 600 does them automatically )

___________________

i've only used the 600 cos one of the guys in my crew has one.. its hella nice and i plan to get one.. either that or the Xone 62 but thats a little more costly.. anyways IMO you can't go wrong w/ the 500, or 600 for that matter.. just don't use the bpm counter cos then u will start to rely on it.. i don't use it because on my mixer there isn't one so there's no use.

You could get a used one for about $500-$600 if u look around

i saw one sell for $410 on uBid.com


hehe if you would of asked i could have hooked you up for $400


its sold already


hey i got my DJM600 at a place in Chicago called Midwest Stereo...if you call them up or email you can tell them to put u like on a waiting list....mixers come in all the time and they sell FAST...you might be able to work out a deal with them

The DJM-500 is definately a great beginner mixer and even the 600..
my mate just got brand new 500 with 2 CDJ-1000's last week and he's going quite well with the equipment.
