you need cables man, good cables equal good setup especially if you want a lot of dynamics with slam.

cables, as in for other methods of output? heh im just getting some mediocre speakers to avert an otherwise dead living room

btw my newbie set hasnt even arrived yet - just to prove my uhhh level of expertise

going to be using Numark's digital system Mixtrack pro w/ Virtual DJ with my Macbook. Though, I've heard a lot about Traktor.. so I may try that as well if its compatible. Yep, thats all I've got so far, along with headphones.

Though, I'll admit, I'm just trying it out right now.. seeing if I develop mixing into a hobby at least before pursuing more expensive equipment. You think compromised accuracy is okay in the beginning? If all fails, at least the speakers can be hooked up elsewhere

Used in conjunction? so expensive for a starving student yikes!

Anyways, I'm curious.. would that system you paired up still get the window shaking woof.. I mean.. 'oooonce ooonce ooooonce' without a subwoofer?

guess I'm looking for the best of both worlds.. something in between! *unrealistically hopeful*

hmm probably something with more oooonce.. mixing with headphones anyways, right? the speakers are just presentation. in that case, would consumer speakers be alright?

I have an Alesis RA if anyone wants, was thinking of putting it on ebay soon.
