If you're getting into it, don't mess around with the cheap stuff. You get what you pay for with electronics. Cheap gear will only prolong your learning frustration. It also won't give you a true feel for beatmatching and manipulation. Most companies on the market use newbie's lack of knowledge against them.. and will usually trick you into buying their product based on look or features. IGNORE FEATURES.. they cost you money and are rarely worth it.
However, if you need to skimp out, do it on the mixer, amp or speakers to begin with. Those things can easily be upgraded later and won't seriously impact the development of your mixing technique. If you're interested in turntables, don't get anything but Technics. Some may argue differently, but there is no other true-feel turntable on the market. As I said before, don't be fooled by fancy LCDs and gizmos like BPM counters, reverse effects or other retarded "wow-factor" add-ons. They're pointless and will only get you off on the wrong foot.
What was mentioned previously about CDJs... they're bang on. 200s if you're broke... if you can splurge on 800s do it... no need to jump up to the 1000s.
That's my two sense... |
