Technics   If you`re half serious about it, you`ll end up with Technics at some point anyway so you`ll have ended up paying even more if u start with shite dex. Besides which, Technics hold their value absolutely solid 2nd hand - if u buy some now 2nd hand, in two years if u decide 2 sell them on, I can *guarantee* you`ll get every penny back u paid - no reservations. The same can`t b said 4 any of these "amateur" pieces.

I cant fucking believe that cat said "buy the best, youll make money in a year"!!!!

were you fucking kidding? If not..what an insult to DJs.


but..this kid...Pitias98...you talking about production or spinnin?

you wanna write your own tracks or play others? Theres a difference. DJing often leads to production (how could one NOT have ideas after hearin all that muzak?) but you dont HAVE TO DJ first...

i think if you can afford and make the investment. go 1200s! for mixers, go low-end for awile...or if ur loaded, get a damn pioneer. why not, but just dont't wear out the stupid flange on it. . .too much!

i can deal with what this guy's going through...
i started on mixman pro and wanted up ....

do you wanna produce or dj ?

dj) i recomend 2nd technics, can't beat em. Anything else is really not an option for you, unless you can't find any 'nics or feel that you cant afford them now , but will later. Mixer ....
i suggest you dont go the radio shack mixer for beginers. regrets all arround. buy a dogdy but name brand (numark,etc) 2nd hand mixer where the faders are a little skewiff and shite, and it hums yet still works.
Buy it, practice up get good , then repair at lesuire
My friend did this and he got a pretty decent deal out of it

Produce) for beginers ... get all the software you can find, freeware shareware or crackware. Learn .... sequence everything in mixman. i still do
then get some hardware. great quality hardware cheap? if you want instat gratification with something that you wl use the rest of your life to some extent (despite the fact that this statement is a oxymoron) i suggest either new mc 307 (Roland)or 2nd hand Cs2x (Yamaha) or a djx (Yamaha) if you can find one.
then the rest is up to you

hope it helps and i state that it may not be the best way of high quality gear but i certainly recomend it due to the learning curve

YOUR ALL WRONG.

Pete, go back to college, learn accounting and make an absolute fortune, all you need to buy is a pencil and Microsoft haven't found a way of ferking up the double entry system yet.

Um,i want to add a dj console to my vst set-up.
I got a Folio Notepad now,but i need to record those cool dj tricks along with my stuff.
Don,t suppose i can do this in Midi,so ok,i,ll do it on the Wavs, record the DJ console EQ Grab switch etc etc as i record into vst.
Will this work?
I have an XP30 and a sampler on the soundcard,so i,m also getting a Nova and i have a DBX for vocals.
Need 12 channels .
Could i use either the DJ or the Folio as a sub ,or would that be unecessary?
Has anyone tried this?
I tried imagining the cabling,but i got lost.
Also,i looked at a Roland DJ2000,but its too pricey,but it had enough rca,s to connect everything,plus a lot of phono,sampler stuff i could use later on my cd,s( or vinyl.)
So,i have started checking,but i would really appreciate some advice.

Thanx Guruzoo.

Okay - let me say first up, I have nothing of value to add this conversation.

That said...


I find it really amusing that alot of you are saying "get the best". If this guy goes out and buys the technics, or what-not, and comes back in 3 months and says..."I have the technics blah blah, how do I do (fill space with dj lingo)?"...you'd all be yelling - "you spent how much and don't know anything?" RTFM!! I am amused. Sorry.
