Originally posted by Spirit5 Yeah thats why I switched to CDJs, dang I have hundreds of dollars worth of vinyl gone to waste now , but many of them are collectors items. I bet 10 years down the road they will be Nostalgia, like early trance is nowadays. I might eventually get a cheapy TT to play them on though..

Well...hopefully i'll be able to have both CDJs & my TTs.... somebody... someday.... anybody foresee a price drop in Pioneer CDJ-800s anytime soon??

..oh yeah, dude with the not so good mixer.. you can go check out guitar center/musicians friend...sometimes they get 2nd hand mixers fer cheap..good ones too... i saw a DJM-500 for $450.... no visible damage...who knows eh?

When i first saw someone spin i was like WOW , i want to be able to make the people go crazy! So i looked through all the stores to for dj equipment decided that im not paying that much, a year later i have the money but there is this feeling in me that i wont be able to do good at all or that i will just quit! Then i began to mess with some computer mixing and stuff and i sayed hold up am not half bad! So i had decided to save some more moneyfor even better cdj's, and a mxer instead of asking my parents for money! JUST DO NOT QUIT, like i almost did!!!!

Originally posted by yogi bear so I got these 2x 800MK2, old mixer(some radio shack) and sennheiser 280pro but i dont really know if it was worth it. i always wanted to try to go pro but now since i have the tools i am not sure if i want to do it. what should i do? should i return cdj800mk2? and just give up?

Youre a fucking retard.

Why hasn't anyone else said it yet?

I've been saving for high quality equipment for three years now, got my perfect monitors, perfect laptop, perfect amplifier, perfect headphones, all my djing furniture that i'll need, Ableton live 5, getting my perfect Midi controller next week. It will be another year at least before i've got the exact mixer I want plus i'm still savng for my CD players. Then after that i'm going to have to save some more to soundproof my garage which isn't cheap. I have to find money to help pay the rent and all my bills, plus a social life at university.

If you haven't got any ambition, just give up. Seriously. And do it now, those players will depreciate in value as time goes by.
Even though i've not got all the gear I want yet, i've been learning new skills every week on friends equipment, playing out at parties, mixing on the computer, finding new tracks every day, testing out every possiblility on the CD players and mixer i want just to make sure it's completely perfect for me.

If you havent got the commitment and ambition, just give up right now.

If you think you have got the commitment, you wouldn't bother posting on here asking our opinion on the matter. You would be practicing mixing until your arms start hurting. Then some more.

But i do agree that he was abit stupid spending that kind of money on something that he was never really sure about should of looked into it abit more and give it abit more thought.

anyway i do not regret that i got them. i was having doubts because i didnt have any new music but i went to beatport and now im having fun. and on friday i have a gig in a culture club
and yes i have been doing this for a while, before that i had some gemini TT (they sucked, really) but it gave me a feel what is like. and after that i was running everything from traktor but it is time for something more professional. and my new mixer is arriving this friday.]
good luck.
and mostly i post here from my school because my schedule is really busy (full time student, full time worker, and i still go out, and now im adding djing to it) so i consider myself a busy person

If you're lucky Boy George might hook you up with some coke

Don't get TOO excited Those "metal" buttons are the same as what I have on my CDJ-1000 MK2's, and they aren't "metal" at all. Just silver plastic!

Originally posted by simms327 i have two CDJ-800 mk1s, and seeing those metal buttons makes me want to wet my pants. i want cdj-800 mk2s..... thats hot but get a better mixer, even a behringer is better than that....

Do the 800s have the "WAVE display' feature? You know, the one the 1000s have that display quiet parts of tracks. I want to add an 800 to my set up, or maybe a 1000....but damn, that will hurt my pocket.
