Hi everyone,
My brother has taken well to DJ'ing since I began about a year ago. For Christmas I'd like to get him something to play around with while he is at medical school. I was thinking the Torq MixLab would go well for him seeing as I do not have enough money to buy him two decks and a mixer. Are there any other packages that you all recommend, or any other DJ gift ideas to get him started?
Here is a link to mixlab...

Thanks for your input!

| That MixLab package looks great for beginners. It will be great to learn on, but he will probably want to invest in some decks at a later date. I just wonder if there is an upgrade path to the Torq/Connectiv system? |

Tyler,
****CDJ****
You can get a lot of bang for the buck with the Gemini CFX-50 dual CD decks. About $300 gives you looping, cueing, effects...just add a mixer and he's ready to go...let me re-emphasize this is TWO CD DECKS IN ONE SYSTEM...and for $300 that's pretty good.
What it's missing:
- Since it's all in one system, you don't 'see' the traditional mixer 2 decks layout.
- Sampler
- MP3 capability
***SAMPLER***
 Checkout the PVDJ grabber...stand alone sampler, with a couple effects...hooks up easy between your decks and mixer
Hope that helps!

P.S. I have personally used all the items above. |
