Cheap durable equipment

[Pending]

Ok so I'm a noob I've mucked around with decks a few times but wanna take it seriously, so I'm looking for advice on beginner equipment that's cheap(by cheap I mean $300 and less) and durable(I like to smack and bang equipment when it doesn't work or I get frustrated). Thanks in advance!

If you're gonna smash and bang your equipment, you might want to find a different hobby.

But maybe have a look at something like a Mixtrack Pro.

They seem to be a good place to start.

Haha thanks mate

Also depends if your lookin at mixing vinyl CDs or on a controller, cause there are good beginner packs out there for all, but you have to be willing to spend more than $300

Controller too much hassle using vinyl or copying music to CDs. Yeah I had a look hopefully my income picks up a bit

[MelodyIlliterate]

sorry to break it to you man... not a lot of options out there for you

i think that if ur paying $300, u might have to sacrifice a bit in the durability aspect.. anyway u can increase ur budget a bit?

at the same time... if you wanna take it seriously, u probably shouldnt be bashing ur equipment

It's gonna be a hobby not looking to make any money off it. I think that one off eBay is the cat's pyjamas.

No 1's told you that DJ'n is like the mafia have they, once your in you don't get out

But seriously it does get quite addictive, you'll wanna spend more than 300

[Pending]

Yeah I was hoping to have something next week but I'll have to wait awhile to save up more coin.

[OxyKon]

Trust us bro, it's worth the wait

[Cupe]

So worth it

Well, how about a bcd3000. You can get one for around $100,its small and good enough to muck around on until you find something better to upgrade to.

I started on one of those not too bad actually, wouldnt really put it in the durable category though mine died from being a bit rough with the faders

Thanks for suggestions ended up getting a DJ Tech iMix controller, $100 second hand.

[yizzle]

DJ Tech iMix kinda looks like a mini BEHRINGER BCD3000.

let us know how it works out mate

Had a bit of muck around this arvo seems really good just need to set it up properly on the software side of things.
