JonnyB Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 hey mate. i dont think it realy matters what type of decks you get , they just play the music.but try the cdj 400's or 1000's(most clubs have 1000's.)or for vinyl get some tecnique 1200's i think their called.for mixer's most people i know have the djm 600.my next mixer is going to be from the allen and heath range...probaly a xone42 . that shit is good.as for adding bassline loops or whatever.im sure some mixers can do it but i dunno. try just hooking up a 3rd turntable and load your loops onto a cd and loop them inhope i helped man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupe Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 keep an eye on this thread, you'll get heaps of good repliesps. mine's not one of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skank Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 if anything its not the decks or turntables you use its the mixer that creates the performance a standard mixer like cdj 700 is more then you need or you could go for something a bit more hardcore with effects cumin out the wazzo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genetic Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 as far as decks go and if you've got no money limit- go with either; cd decks pioneer cdj400 , 800, 1000. mixer pioneer djm 400, 600, 700.turntables-technics 1200 numark tt500 or ttx.when you say you want to mix hardstyle give some examples because alot of people have different definitions of hard style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skank Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 yo genetic what about djm 800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genetic Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 yeah i didn't put it in, all the 800 has that the 700 doesn't is a few more effects, digital in on all channels, fader start on all channels, and the color effects, not really worth paying 2500-3000 for when you are just starting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skank Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 yer very true the main thing i like about the 700 over the 800 is that the 800 has weighted faders the 700 does not which is better for cutting in and out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genetic Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 really? i've never noticed that i must be really heavy handed, i bought the 700 and i'm glad i made the choice.ok this all being said you can mix hardstyle on cdj100's and a djm300, i do so on many occasion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomy Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Zany is a good example of hardstyle.... i would of thought? i haven't played hard style for years... so things may have changed from the days of nik fish banging out at family in brissy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genetic Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 well you just go all out don't you tomy... telling him he should get the top end gear-true he'll never need to replace it but while we're at it dvj1000 and svm1000 is top of the food chain but highly overkill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genetic Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 i just checked out the pioneer website haven't in a while i'm shocked at the prices, i knew prices went up but i didn't think by that much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomy Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 yeh prices are crazy thats why i put up the alt. setup.... i think those stantons are pretty good. but you cant go past the pioneer setup, its pretty much the club standard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshMixz Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 and yer i want to be able to record my mixes but if not thts fineand hardstyle to me is djs like headhunterz showtek punkbusters dark oscillators technoboyand i said i wanted help picking wat gear is best for harstyle like would gear would have effects to go with this kind of music and stuff so yer thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomy Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 effects on the DJM series are great for any style. i really do rate the stantons if your not too keen on getting the expensive stuff straight up..but go into your nearest dj equipment store and ask the guys in there man. best way to go that way you can see, feel, touch it.... heaps better way to get a good idea on what you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBG Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 hey bro, dont get sucked into getting the CDJ1000s. go for the 800s not much different and heaps cheaper. Especially considering your a begginner.But then again if you have no limit on money, why not? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
