Hi all. So I think I may be ready to finally bite the bullet and purchase some equipment. I have no intention of playing in clubs or anything at this point. I just want to learn the basics and have fun mixing. I know I want CD format over turntables. I was thinking a pair of CDJ-200's. I really have no idea in terms of mixers. My limit is around 1200.00 bucks. I'd love to hear any suggestions you guys have for where I should go with this.


Thanks!

$1200? get a EFX-1000 with a DJM-300 mixer. A couple of tape players to add int.. DOPENESS!

Buy some CDJ-800 MKI for cheap or second hand, get yourself a good mixer (Pioneer DJM-707, Gemini UMX-SE,...) and let the fun begin!

golden words

you can get used cdj-800s for $800 (pair) and that leaves you with $400 to play with for your mixer. I would get a used Vestax PCV-275.

the rest of the money, should go towards some decent speakers.

A pair of CDJ800s and the cheap solid mixer du jour. Whatever that is. Maybe that Vestax.

I'd probably go for exactly what I have right now. This is quality equipment and I don't have a single complaint about it so far;

2x CDJ200
Vestax VMC002 or VMC004
