what about the Vestax PMC-06ProA VCA Mixer (What the hell is a VCA mixer anyway?)

and looking at your Vestax VCM-004, do i really need to have a 4 channel mixer if I am going to be DJing? Wouldn't 2 be enough?

Have to disagree with you bud, the truth actives are probably the most underrate of all monitors...in my opinion they compare with $1200 mackie monitors ive had the pleasure of listening to. so in that sense they are certainly up there with the krk series they simply have a different sound.

Not to start an argument, its my opinion, just my 2 cts

The Technics CD player is kind of gimmicky IMO. It has a spinning platter and is designed to look like their DJ headphones line or something.

I honestly think the only reason they made a CD deck was to carry on their name/brand from their industry standard turntable.

And to reiterate, Pioneer CDJ-200's are solid, and are what you should get (unless you decide to upgrade to 800's or so).

Ecler makes nice mixers; only downside is they don't have very many flashy/pretty lights on it at all, so if that's your thing, you may want to look at something else. I just checked the price... $370 isn't that bad. I don't remember how much the Pio DJM-400 is. The 400 was designed to 'match' the CDJ-200's.

Yeah the Truth's are good if you like it really loud with punchier bass, but the KRK's are better if you want good, clean sound that is "flatter" sounding. The Truth's are a bit more dynamic and may have a slightly better range, but they are closer to small, loud speakers vs. accruate studio monitors, which you really don't need per say DJing, but for home useage and closer to your ears at a lower volume..i'de say the KRK's are they way to go (the KRK RP5s). You really don't want anything too loud and you don't need that much bass.

This isn't the chillout room you know.

Where almost every second post reads inb4 whatever.

That's a hell of a bump hehe.
Anyway I bought a shitty Behringer mixer with 3 channels and 2 Pioneer cdj 100.
Never buy Behringer mixers.
That was the cheapest I can get.
I must say I'm not completely satisfied with both devices.
Well it could have been worse.

I recommend the TRUTH B2031A's (looks like there's new ones coming out?). Either way they have an extremely flat frequency response with crips highs and great mid-body. Like Spirit mentioned they are a bit heavy on the low end which is the only colouration dinstinguishable. This imho, eliminates the need to buy a woofer. I think I agree with the statement that they're great for DJ'ing but not the best option for production (there's reall no "budget setup" for a production rig anyways!).

Another thing i'd like to mention is how clear they sound at minimal volumes which is what Behringer prides themselves on for this product.

I also second everyone else's recomendation for a pair of CDJ-200's, best bang for your buck by all means.

For a starting mixer if you can afford a DJM400 or an Ecler Nuo3. If you need to go cheaper i HIGHLY recommend the Vestax VMC004 as it was my first mixer and they are built to last! Great quality for such a cheap product.

Good luck and feel free to PM me if you have any other questions.

Cheers,
Andrew

I just prefer clean, flatter sounding but still with decent bass. I don't like extremely bass heavy speakers. The KRK RP8s were very bass heavy, but I prefer cleaner mids and highs.

yes cdj200's and the numark dxm06 would be very good to start w/...

I started with 2x pioneer cdj 1000 mk3's, they're not bad, you should give them a try!
