| hello, i know this has prolly been posted like a hundred times but here it goes again. I was curious about djing so i went out and bought the Pioneer DJS software. I love it and have been mixing with it for about 3 months. I am ready to step up to the real thing. I went down to Guitar center today to make a purchase, but upon going there i am completely lost. I know that i want to spin CDJ but im not sure which one, I was looking at Pioneers and Denon. I also have no idea what mixer to get, i was looking at a bunch, and they all seemed pretty similar? Any advice on what to pickup would be great, I have some cash but not enough to be buying the new DJM800 or the CDJ1000mk stuff. I would like to get some equipment that is nice and durable and will not restrict any of my mixing....thanks in advance for any help |

| I'de recommend 2 Pioneer CDJ 200s, and a DJM 300. That should cost you a little over $1,000. Should be good enough for just starting out, should last you quite some time till you have the $$ for something new, however they should last you. I own CDJ 1000 MK2s, they were $$ but I saved up. I had a mixer already from my previous set up (Vestax PCV 275). |

Take your $1000 and do this:
2 CDJ 200s (total $800)
a used Numark 2 channel mixer off ebay (something like DM2002x) $50
then spend $150 or so downloading tracks from beatport.com, audiojelly.com, etc. |

Actually
2 CDJ 200's (total $670), ask for price it's everywhere at $335 |

Are you talking about the Numark Matrix 2?? I've heard pretty bad things about it. It's made very cheaply. If you wanted to get a mixer from Numark, i'de go with the DXM 06 or the DXM 09, or even th PPD01, but definitely not that one. It probably wont last you anymore than 6 months to a year. The DXM 06 or the PPD01 (if you can find it) will probably cost just a little more than the Matrix 2, but they are considered much better mixers. |
