I started out with a numark bluedog mixer and the shittiest purple numark decks.

My brother then managed to get me an allen and heath 62 mixer in place of the numark one. needless to say that was a big jump. Got a set of vestax pdx-2000 for my 17th birthday.


All of which have now been sold. I just use my brothers set up.

If you are serious about dj'ing, buy the best. save up for a long time, get a set of technics, and a decent mid priced mixer. This way you don't have to spend more later on as there is no need to upgrade. And if you decide you don't like dj'ing you will get much the same as what you payed for them when you sell them.

i've tought about that.. but i'll rather start with a cheaper but functional set.. i've started a fiew months ago with mp3 mixing.. i'm doing alright but is't just no fun.., i don't enjoy it.. about a week ago i was .. forgot his name, a friend of a friend of my cousin.. () he had this nice little set standing in his room..(no idea what kind of mixers and decks ) he was busy when we came along, well.. he went of talking to my cousin and his friend, so i tought why not and i grapt the headphone and tryed..(sounded pretty crappy at first but in the end it was going a little bit better) only could try for about 15 min but it sure was fun..

thats why im thinking of getting my own set, i don't want a real expensive one..(not to start with) why not, maybe i get borred of it after just a fiew weeks, or maybe i just don't have enough talent and my skills dont improve any furter after XX weeks. and if i decide that i want a better set i can keep practising while saving money for new decks, sale (?) the old one's is not going to be a problem, know lots of ppl that are thinking of buying there onw set.. ore might be intrested in the future..

i have to think about it agian.. not sure yet..

OTHER PLL WHAT DID YOU STARTED WITH?

gr

robin

i started with.....2 pioneer cdj 100, 1 djm 300 and my friends Numark CDN 900

Two Technics 1210 mkII's and a crappy Vestax PMC-003A. I hate Vestax.

two gemini cdj-10's and a 50 dollar gemini scratch mixer.....

under 400 USD........

When I started, I went low end. BIG MISTAKE! If you enjoy DJ'ing at all, don't bother with cheap stuff. It gets more and more addicting, and you will want better equipment. That's a promise! In the end, here's what I have ...

2 Technics 1200's
2 American Audio Pro Scratch 2 CD decks (sweet jeebus they are fun to use! I would rather have the American Audio Velocity CD player, but just don't have 1000 bones laying around)
1 Vestax PCV-275
1 D-Vinyl2020 (Nearly the same thing as Stanton Final Scratch)
1 HP Laptop
1 Roland D2 Groovebox (fun and a nice change of pace)
1 Kaoss 2 Pad
Records and CD's galore!

Originally I started with 2 crappy gemini tables, and a mixer that wasn't fit to be a door stop. Those got cast aside rather quickly, and the upgrade madness began Do yourself a favor, if you enjoy DJ'ing at all, spend the money. You won't regret it! If you truly love it, then possibly add CD decks. I wouldn't do that at first though. They are much harder to resell if you decide not to pursue mixing. Just my 2 cents

I'd take the Fifth ... but I drank it

I bought a set of a friend,who wanted to quit with his drive-in show.
Didnt knew much about DJing back then (what was good or bad gear) soI just bought it.

It was €400,- and contained:

-Flightcase with everything in it
-Skytec TEC2400 Double CD player
-Skytronic PA2100 amp (100watt)
-Really crappy old mixer,forgot the name,anyway I sold it for 20
-Some nameless headphone

Still have the headphones (they work,they go loud,so why replace them ), and also still have the case,the amp,and the double CD deck.
Only got 2 more TT's and a Gemini PS626i mixer.

I'm verry happy with the deal I made,cuz only that CDplayer is even €500 euro new

H A R D T E C H N O . NL The first dutch hardtechno forum,also for belgian people

1. A VMX300 + 1 pioneer cdj100

the I connected my portable cd-player to the 2nd channel of the mixer
2. A second cdj100
3. a stanton st90

Well i think what you are saying is correct, he might get bored after a few weeks or something comes up and he doesnt want to continue anymore, now he has to deal with selling his tables because he bought Technics for example, dont get me wrong they are very easy to sell but...


i started with crappy tables and crappy mixer and still am with set-up

2 Numark 1520 Turntables (Hands: Unknown )
1 Gemini P626 Mixer (Hands: Unknown )
1 Koss UR.20 (Very Cheap Headphones bought from Futer shop)

i first bought my mixer and mixed on the computer with MP3s and then 1 day i went to my friends house and played around with his setup and i knew from that day, that i wanted my own tables.

I didnt have a lot of money so i just bought the numark 1520's.
i am still practicing with these 1520s but my 1200s are in the MAIL!@#!

i cant fking wait, if you want to start with a low cost table, you should go with a MID-Table for example Numark T-100, these are really good tables to start with, you wouldn't want to change them for a long long time.

as far as a mixer goes , all you need is a 2 channel mixer that has EQs and maybe kills , that's all you need to start with, because you need to practice on your beatmatching skills
