Pending Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyman Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 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.

OxyKon Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattus123 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurk6r Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
