Hey Johnsmith  Looking at some of your latest post, I see that you have pretty high standards when it comes to equipment, nothing wrong with that ofcourse, but don't you think it would be fair to tell the starting-out DJ's this before you give them your advice? (no offence intended)
It's just that beginners may have a smaller budget and lower standard, just something to consider |
well, i understand that. i was one of those people, i was mixing mp3s with VTT for so long, and i always wanted decks. then i saw them stanton and numark DJ in a box kits and thought, wow, i can get into this for onmly $500!! wow! i should do it. then, i thought about it a bit, and talked to some local DJs, and started posting here..
i realized that if i didn't get techs, i would be trying to sell whatever i got (probably at a loss), just to try and get techs later.
my friend started out with some stanton str80s, sold them, got 100s, and now wants to sell those for techs.
similarly with a mixer, i had the chance to get a numark or gemini, in fact i was even offered a really crappy worn out gemini for FREE!
I declined. I didn't want to have to upgrade, and pay twice. I didn't want to get used to crap equipment.
Now, you might think i am rich or something, i am not. it took me years to save for my 2 techs and vestax.
you might think i am a perfectionist.. well, you'd be right.
but, that's not why i got techs, or a good mixer. i got them becuase i knew in the end it would actually be CHEAPER, because i wouldn't have to sell the first one to upgrade.
