| Alright thanks to all for your help...I think for the extra money (and the long run) it's better to get the CDJ Mk3 and the DJM 800 |

to start off, i cant overstate HOW GOOD of a set up i began with.
2 X CDJ 200's
1 X Behringer DJM700
sure, the 200's offer a different feel than the club standard (CDJ1000) - but as a bedroom dj, just getting into it - you dont need anything better (or to burn a huge hole in your pocket doing so). the behringer mixer, although lacking in sound quality - is basically the same setup as the DJM600 Pioneer offers, except it's like 80% cheaper.
once you get into it, you can choose at a later time to upgrade to an 800, or 1000 - but for the time being, you could get the above mentioned (used) for roughly $750-$800.
good luck. |

| My advice, before making such a substainly large investment, Practice extensivly on someone elses equiptment first. I´ve purchased lots of near brand new equiptment from sellers who did not have the paitence to stick with it. |

I badly want to get into mixing but I don't know where to begin...what is the best equipment to buy for a starter? Is it good to stay with vinyl or switch to cd's (as most of the top dj's are using cd's these days)?
Are these any good?
Pioneer CDJ 100 Mk2
Pioneer DJM 909 Mixer
I simply do not know so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance |

If you buy the 800MK2/1000MK3 and the DJM600/DJM800 and then decide to sell them you will recover most your purchase price. They do not depreciate very fast.
Buy anything else and you'll suffer depreciation and difficulty selling (due to common used availability of other DJ gear). |

I learned on a pair of Numark Pro TT-1 turntables and a Stanton RM-Three mixer... and I turned out just fine.
You don't need to drop $4000 if you are just starting out, that's ing ridiculous. |

True, however I also wouldn't go out and buy non-standard or sub-par equipment that you lose your shirt on when you sell to upgrade later.
Bottom line: get the best Pioneer gear you can afford. |

| Money isn't really a big issue here (but i'm not going out to spend 10 g's, I just bought a car for christ sakes)...So I am going to stick with pioneer. Now i just have to decide on what to get |
