DJ-Day Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I saw that at JB took one look and thought that it was shit, but that's my opinion i recon it would be great for a beginner. Once you learn the art of mixing and beat matching get yourself some Pioneer CDJ's and a decent mixer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skank Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 stay the fuck away from the audioline stuff man it will shit it for you, lets say you are recieving the 900 form kevin 07 pluss the 600 you already have to spend you could get somthing like thishttp://www.djwarehouse.com.au/cat/index ... id=1172945with these cdj's you wont out grow them for a long time and are professional enough to use at partys and so on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruggs Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 I agree with you tekstepa but i also agree with DJ-Day they seem ok for begineers and whos to say it wont be sitting in the corner of my room in 2 months un-used thats the only reason i dont wanna fork out that much on the high end stuff incase i don't like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skank Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 if you dont know if youll like it why not download somthing like virtual dj and give it a go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruggs Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 already got that and love it...was thinking if i got the audioline i could hook it up to my laptop with virtual dj? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruggs Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 also just spotted this special http://www.djwarehouse.com.au/cat/index ... id=1245809 seems ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skank Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 hell no dude the 100s are the worst in the game you carnt use the jog wheels to search through the tracks or even scratch the audioline decks have more features then the 100's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruggs Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 lol thanks for that could of ended bad lol can u add an external mixer or effects to the audioline set up?they dont have any effects in with there mixer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skank Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 depends how many channels it has but effects are over rated you need to beat match first and formost but if you do eventually wanna ad some effects you could always go with the efx 500 from pioneer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tramonte Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 the audioline stuff will sit in the corner of your room in a few weeks after purchase due to either:A) you don't like djing they broke!!It's better to wait and save up, I spent a long time saving and wouldn't have done it any other way.Wanted decks when I was 18, but didn't have the cash, needed to buy other things like a car etc...once everything was paid off at age 21 I bought my set up and love the thing! (although in the last year and a half have spent like 5000 on equipment/records, haha). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruggs Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 think ill try save is this any good?the mixer seems a little basic? http://www.djwarehouse.com.au/cat/index ... id=1108363 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skank Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 its a entry level setup its better then the audioline but will still leave you fustrated in a few weeks time with its lack of functionality just save a few more weeks mate an extra 500 will make all the difference especially if theres a sale on (droooool) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruggs Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 looks like im gonna be saving lol got another question tho...with the BPM whats the tap beat function? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genetic Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 TAP allows you to tap the beat yourself 1 2 3 4- tap tap tap tap, it's a little more accurate, you'd use it when you can hear the beat and the auto BPM calculater can't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruggs Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 so will it match the beat to the other deck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tramonte Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 no it just gives helps you to determine what the bpm is of the track, you still need to match the beats yourself, using your ears.I'd say save up for some denon dns1000/1200's or Pioneer CDJ200'smy pick is the denons,also for a mixer try and score a numark DMX06 (I think that's the model number)in my opinion anyway.

ruggs Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 oh ok then sou just tap it along with the beat and it gives you a read out?most just come up with the bpm anyway dont they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genetic Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 yeah, say you've got a really ambient and flowing part of a track with no bass you can hear the beats but the 'auto' bpm counter is flashing at you and wont determine the beat, tap four beats and you'll roughly know the bpm of that section; and can line up the other track accordingly.
