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.

Hercules DJ Console MP3 e2 USB DJ Controller That's the controller i was looking at on ebay. I Know it's prolly a little "junky" with a price of $159 at StoreDJ, but i figure as a budget start it might be worth looking at. Hell if it works alright, it just means i might be able to conn the Denon's outta the Missus for Xmas!

Glad to hear that!!!!

Thanks. i just remember from past experiences in other forums, some admins get right nasty if they think you have preached "their" rules by asking questions, when they think "But that's in a sticky!", or shoulda been in a different area! Cheers Bud! looking foward to getting back into it!

Well to start, my apoligies to the Admins if i am bang out of order here........ I've been away from the scene for a bit over 4 years, and am now starting to look around at getting decks, etc to get back into it. After looking on ebay, i realise i can stretch to what i want (DNS-3500's, or CDJ's). However i have seen these "Hercules"(?) branded digital mixers. from what i can tell they seem to be a system to basically use your laptop/usb device as a cd and mix that way. Also saw some cheapish "All-In-One" setups (I Think one was a newmark iCD?) Any suggestions? i know i'm basically talking stuff that i will either end up killing or outgrowing within 12-18 months (If that!), but my logic says if i get something cheapish to start with, and the missus sees i am actually going well, it'll be easier to convince her to let me get the good stuff down the track. Oh, one last thing. Got my headphones covered. Sennheiser HD-25's! May have had to give up my DNS-3500's, but i didn't lose my headphones!

Guten Tag Meine Freindlich. (Hope i remembered the spelling correctly! LOL) Your English ist Sehr Gut. Meine Deutsch ist Nicht Grossen. (And al that cam from what i remember too!!!!) Keep up the good work Brother!

Hey Hey everyone! Well after an absence of a little over 4 years from DJ'ing. (I was just starting to learn when personal issues forced me to stop), i'm starting to look around and get back into it. Am located in Country NSW, which makes getting equipment a slight issue (Only for shipping. God Bless ebay otherwise!) Am mostly into a bit of House, Hardcore/happy hardcore, Trance and sometimes a bit of Gabba (Well that what's my old friend used to call it!). Anyway, found the forum, came in, keen to meet various people, and maybe learn a few things, as the equipment has changed a *LOT* From when i was first into it! Cheers Ben
