I dont get all the tax back, but supposedly I get half at the end of the year.

so about those drugs...

you're 16 you shouldn't know about taxes, just drugs.

get a real job loser

meh, I'd spend the $600 on records.

Originally posted by Factor VIII I don't know about the laws where you guys live but if your 16 your parents have to sign a form and so does your school. Its fuckin ridiculous. but anyways I'm going to be getting a job this summer paying about 10$ hour, but after taxes its like 6.50$. Ya sure I could be a drug dealer, but at our school they have random dog searches like once a week and I'm not going to be put in juvie for selling drugs.

ok. assuming you work 8 hours a day, at $6.50 an hour, thats $52 buks a day, in a 5 day work week, $260, and in a month, $1040.

in other words, work for a month or two in summer and you should be sorted.

not like me that works 10 hours a day for his dad, gets a 'decent' salary for it, 7000 of my local coin a month, and then when you exchange into dollars it is only $205US. try buying a setup like that

Factor, I suggest you look at some CD players from Gemini, they're relatively inexpensive and work great for beginners, bedroom DJs, or DJs who just like to keep it basic and not fuss about a bunch of random effects.

Im gonna keep it simple, if its not a Pioneer, Denon or Numark CDJ... dont waste your money.

I'll keep it even more simple. If it's not a Pioneer... don't waste your money.

I know how nice pioneers are, but I just dont have the money. I know some of you guys are gonna hate me, but I found this tascam 302 on ebay
It says its missing the link cable, but I called tascam and I can get it for about 20$. Then once I get a job in the summer I'll sell the tascam and buy a nicer unit. I know theres been some problems with the tascam 302, but they seem to be minor. I'm gonna risk it and see how it works.

CDJ 200 hands down is probably the best CDJ for a beginner or an intermediate. It was made to be geared towards that crowd anyways. I mean it seems really simple, yeah there's effects and looping and all, but it also helps with the basics. It's inexpensive too (well for a good CDJ), only $399. Whats also good about it, is that it will last you. So if you did get good, you probably could make due with just that, unless you wanted to fork over the money for a CDJ 1000, which I did. Don't regret it, however it has all these buttons (the hot cues, the looping) that I hardly use. It's just the CDJ 200 is so small, that if you wanted something that is closer in feel to a platter on a TT, then the CDJ 1000 is for you. But beginners (i've mixed for 3 years so I think I know what I am doing...am not perfect though) should go for something like the CDJ 200 to get their money's worth, fo sho.
