Alright, thanks for warning me about that...
I checked out the Stanton and Gemini mixers u mentioned, not a big difference in the price of the Stanton and the Gemini models that you mentioned...
im just looking for something good and durable, im not looking to pay that much, my school eats up most of my money, so im looking for something thats alright...i have no exact figure in mind really.....im just starting out so im not looking for something extravagant, but something that can last me for a while |

I checked out the headphones....those Sony's seem to be the sweetest, everybody that has gotten them is satisfied, and they are not much more expensive than the others....so look like the ones i would get...
I had another question, every site I went to had DJ packages, are those any good? I dont know much about other mixers and tt's but obviously the technics 1200's are the best (maybe look for a used pair sometime), but just wondering what those packages are like |

Some of those dj packages are nice... but most of them are crap.
For a cheap decent mixer check out the Numark DM-1001x... it's a very basic mixer, but it does the job. here's a link: http://www.123dj.com/mixers/numark/dm1001x.html
Check out the Technics RP-DJ1200 headphones, they are better than those Sony's and are a bit cheaper. |

The Numark DM-1001x is a 2 channel mixer, Hypersonic pointed out to me that a 4 channel mixer would make my life alot easier to start with....
and the Technics headphones are nice as well, so you say they beat out the Sony's!!? why is everybody going nuts over the Sony's then? |

about those Sony headphones. please read this thread:
http://www.tranceaddict.com/forums/...&threadid=14259
I don't like the sound and believe everybody buys them for the looks or because the pros get them for free from Sony.
I would not recommend a 4 channel mixer to begin with. There is no need. All new mixers I know have Phone/Line switches so you can hook up 2 TTs and 2 CD/MD players to a 2 channel mixer. Why would you want more? As a beginner, you are not going to mix with 3 sources at the same time. |

I know I don't need much as a beginner....but now im getting conflicting info regarding mixers....someone recommended 4 channel mixer to begin with......
so i guess a 2 channel mixer would be better? any that you would recommend? (not too expensive!)
and about the headphones....the Technics RP-DJ1200 seem like a decent pair? |

| dj alonzo |
The Technics headphones are awesome.. not decent!
If you're a begginer you won't need more than 2 channels.. you can hook to the Numark 2 cd's and two turntables, you won'y need more than that. |

alright, sounds good.....
so for the mixer you would recommend the Numark DM-1001x to start out with? |

What's your budget?
This mixer is very basic.. if you have some cash you can go much better... |
|
|
| Abbas |
I saw that one for about $100 or something like that....
I can probably fork out more cash than that for a good mixer.....i'd say maybe 200-250 i guess |

hey, stop! just cause I wasn't here for 2 days deosn't mean a 2 channel mixer is better :):):)!!! beleive me. my 4 channel mixer has a phono/line switch on each channel too. it's bull! I never intend to use those switches, cause it'll just be confusing...... I think that even if there are switches, still, a 4 channel mixer will make your life alot easier, but not just for starting.... an EQ on each channel is not that important. the mixer I have (Phonic DM-3030) has great quality and a 7 band EQ for each side. one for the left and one for the right.... I, personally, think it's enough..... I think the switches are just confusing......... but hey, man. it's your decision.
and about the sony headphones, I checked them out a few days ago, and they ROCK (and NOT just cause of their look)!!!! I didn't see any technics headphones where I checked....
but still.... like the mixer, it's your call. :) |

about hollywooddj.com........ alonzo, you're from Israel..... and I bet the people who ordered and their order didn't get there, are from Israel too..... cause hollywooddj.com ships products to USA and Canada only!!!!!! I ordered lots of stuff from hollywooddj.com.... I shiped it to a friend of mine in the USA, and he shiped it to me.... and I'm very satisfied from this site....
and your friends were still charged cause they gave their credit card number (duuuhhh....) and probably wrote their adrress, but the state was a state in the USA........ so the items didn't get to them..... |
