haha dam, i should sell mine and re buy a pair, id be making money haha

you can do more but you do not need them, id go with a second hand pair of 1000's? all the pioneer gear is similar enough, if you learn on 1 of them it will only take a min or 2 to get used to the rest of the pioneer cdj line. in my experience anyway we.g 400's 800's 900's and 1000's ive only owned 400's but can play great on all of them cept the 900's because they were being faulty if your happy to save the money, go for it. if your urging to get your gear now i recon go with the 350's they are both pretty cool

take the abilty away from just dennis...OR when ever dennis posts something someone should quote it imediatly

hahah

mmmm....i dont like that idea at all Cupe edit can be extremly helpfull, especially if you post information that isnt fixed, e.g information on a club night that may change location etc etc. of course you could make another post....but that would leave the thread untidy

sounds like a pretty good night man. dubstep is poping up everwhere these days

quit deleting your damn comments dennis

yeah yeah i know, its a term that can be thrown over anyone that plays EDM to a crowd. its just my personal understanding of the word that gets me into strife haha.

+rep to you skank

pretty sure i already gave you a serve in that cdj vs vinyl thread. but sure, im just a bag of smiles, happy to help out. for god sake man i wasn't having a go at you and you didnt give me a serve, you mis understood what i said and you have a diffrent opinion. i almost want to take back that plus rep

what up yo welcome

oh dude get off your high horse. ...no.....i like it up here,,,,there is a nice breeze The method of DJing and medium its performed with has changed dramatically. You can stay in the dark ages and be one of those guys who validates himself by the weight of vinyl he carries to each gig. Or you can accept that things are different now. all ive seen from you is negativity. and by the look of your rep other people seem to think so as well. Im not on a high horse at all, i dont even have vinyl i was just voicing my opinion that i rate vinyl above all other forms of djing/entertaining in clubs mainly because its what i want to be doing and just because i rate it higher dosent mean that people that dont use vinyl are any lesser. Djing is a form of entertaining mate, the first thing i got told when i started at clubs was 'remember you are here to entertain the crowd'. To me when you loose the discs, you no longer are a disc jockey, your an entertainer. I'll give you my background so you know. Started out with CDJs - played those for 2.5 years. Used them in the club as well. Beatmatched manually and could handle a thousand strong crowd with no problems. Now I'm running a laptop with traktor pro, controlled by a Lemur and Xone 4D with Ableton live running in sync via MIDI clock. Does that make me any less of a DJ? No.Well as a DJ i think it does, as a performer and entertainer, Not as all, its probaly made you able to make more creative shows and what not.....but thats not what were talking about. Its a setup that works for me, and after years of playing and trying different things, I found something that suits my workflow. At the end of the day, the standard club crowd doesnt give a shit whether you're hitting the sync button or dusting off your next record and fine tuning that pitch fader. They just wanna get their drink on and dance. I couldnt agree more, You say someone using a laptop isnt a dj what so ever, they're an entertainer. To me, i find that statement ridiculous. We all play music. We all keep that floor going and we all make sure the crowd loves the music. Who cares how its done. i dont care at all how its done either, id be more then happy to go out and have the whole nights listning be coming from a laptop, i just dont see somebody using a laptop as a DJ, maybe its my perception of what a DJ is, and my perception is exactly what the 2 words are, Disc Jockey Now I'm not saying I support the 13 year old who downloads a cracked copy of VDJ and plays 3 gigs of torrented music with a mouse. I'm saying that as long as you support the fundamentals, such as reading the crowd, track selection, physical presence and mixing techniques, then theres no reason why Vinyl should be considered superior to a laptop. Hell, using Serato with timecode vinyl is there for the purists and it saves having to carry crates in each night. Who the hell made you the authority on what people should be using? Theres so many possibilities these days that everyone has their own ways of doing things. No one, and i dont claim to be, its my opinion, and i started that in the first 2 words of that quote..... Rant over. you trip. i think your taking my post the wrong way, it seems like the impression you had is that i was saying that people who use vinyl are more superiour to laptop users(and yes at 1 point when i started out, i did think this), all im saying is that there is a diffrence between them, and i see 1 as a DJ and 1 as a Entertainer, people who use a bit of everything i see as a mixture of both, which is what i am. Proof read this one, hopefully i dont give the wrong impression this time

its alot more relevant then any input youve seemed to add. all information is helpfull regardless weather you know it all or not, there is nothing wrong with refreshing the memory, all my informative, helpful, friendly advice is on another forum. you'd be suprised by the advice I give. i just come here to poke the bear. and occasionally help out. but only on tuesdays. ill be expecting some surprising advice tomorow then:) haha

dunno if you will get that price seeing as it costs 800 for a single cdj400 brand new. if you do make sure they arnt completely trashed, thats the only way i could see anyone selling a set that cheap

lol 19c for a track????? how daft can people get, how would a record label, an online music store like beatport and a producer ever make an earning out of 19C or $1 albums.

ive used 900's from dj wherehouse and they were fukin horrible ahah, i put it down to their equiptment being thrashed but it was a very hard set to play but fun, the left decks tempo wouldnt stay the same it was like what i imagine mixing with vinyl would be like, hand never off the pitch control

i know a few people who work there, ill see if they know her. does your daughter know that you roll under the name FabDJ?

haha man have we had some big theads on this topic, ill find you a link edit. coudnt find it. im not really too fused what people use. just so long as they arnt lieing to them selves. if there is someone djing via a laptop, your not djing what so ever, your entertaining a crowd of people, your an entertainer. if you want to be labelled a dj you should be able to mix with turntables beat matching yourself, read the crowd etc etc etc. in my view anyway. vinyl V cdj. Vinyl will always win. To me the everybody should be aiming to eventually becoming a vinyl mixer no mater where you started from. i plan on moving to vinyl when i can, cant wait!

k here are some previews to 3 tracks im making, 1 of them being made soley from sounds from me and a mates mouth, still basic at the moment. but i plan on making it wicked haha. http://soundcloud.com/jonny-b-music/sets/3-track-demo feedbak

nah not back periminantly, had some family stuff on, heading back down in a few days, nah not playing at the banj, im happy enough to just mix at home for now, ive been doing the odd trip to sydney to help out my partner in crime.

like everyone else im a little to weathered to listen right now, but im following you on soundcloud now. hopefully get a listen in this arvo.

also pretty true if you think about it

yes..... you can make the Pdx 3000 feel like a 1200 not only that, but when you speed the platter up or slow it down its bad for the motor, this little feature does it with out ruining the motor. correct me if im wrong.

what up guys. 29th of oct is gonna be a big night. Klaus Hill(pottymouth music) Hookie SlipperyWhenWet KnockedUpNoise and more, will all be playing on a 3-4 hour multilevel boat cruise with 100's of other people. then pull into darling harbour and head straight to chinese laundry to hear Bar 9 destroy the club with dubstep madness. stay tuned for further information

the little pitch control button looks like a wicked new feature
