Welcome!!!!

Welcome! Have fun!

Oh if i can find a way to get my hands on CDJ1000's i would in a heartbeat. Mind you, from when i had my DNS3500's i looked at the CDJ's as well, but got the Denons at a really good price. If i saw them at a price i was happy, i'd consider them again. At the end of the day what i think it will come down to is setting a solid budget, and buying the best setup i can find for my money!

Sweet. As it stands i am looking at spending between $500 and $1000. That's why i was originally looking at a digi controller, as the cost is much less. mind you i was looking around and i was thinking. "Well i might be able to pick up a deck here, a nother deck when i find a suitable one, and a mixer". basically do it all over a little bit of time, and see how i go." was thinking of CDJ's as it then becomes a case of i am used to what most clubs use, if i ever get to that point.

Well for a budget set, any reccomendations? I Actually found a pair of 1000 Mk 2's on ebay in Sydney for $700 (No Mixer). The other one that looks good is a pair of 400's and a numark ppd01 mixer for $1,000. Mind you if you have any suggestions, i am happy to listen (That's why i started this thread)

Well would you reccomend the 1000's to a beginner? Basically i would love to have had either a set of 3500's (Or better), but we are talking budget, know what i mean? That's why i was even looking at controllers in the first place.

Well when i had my last setup, it had a set of DNS-3500's, with a crappy Behringer DX626(?) Mixer. Was thinking something along those lines would be nice, but $$$, know what i mean? Actually speaking Denon, anyone know much about the DNS-1000's? I Mean it really comes down to finances and what i can get for my ca$h at the time

Well been looking at the Hercules RMX Vs. Numark, and also to really mix things up (No Pun Intended), have been looking at Numark all-in-one iCD beginner setups. Ah, it's doing my head in. I Think i'll set a budget, and just get the best shit i can for the price. might even wait a little bit, and get what i really want (CDJ-1000's on DNS-3500's)

Good Call Cupe!!! I Was trying to be a little more polite!

Life is (Pretty) Good. You're right about this being soo much better than itm. There's a word that describes a lot of the inhabitants at ITM, and it rhymes with Banker!

Sounds like a good idea. might compare prices to a digital controller. Still trying to figure out my best beginner options myself.

Been having a bit of a look at the numark. am liking it more and more as i read up on it

It's good to see a site where the members actually welcome new members!

Well if anyone can give me lowdown on the Hercules, i would appreciate that! From what you are saying the numarks sound pretty good. might look into them as well.

Absolutley from what i can see. However, i can get around something like that with the missus, and once she see's i am actually having a red-hot go, and making good progress, then it will be a lot easier to talk her into letting me get a good controller (Or decks!). I'd love the S4 that was suggested, but she'd kill me if i spent $1,000 plus on kit at this point. have seen some other cheap-ish "all in one" packs. just trying to figure out my best options.
