    CDJ advice

    in Music Making and Production/Industry

    Posted

    See if they're still doing the Pioneer DJ Box 1 deal where you get two CDJ-100s and a DJM-300 for a good price. That's what I did. If I remember it was around $800 for the whole shebang, whereas separately they'd be more expensive. Of course it's all pretty basic stuff, but at least it's solid. Some stores will let you finance it, too, which might be helpful if you don't have it all in cash.

    Check EBAY asap, they have all kinds of deals at the lowest prices ever.

    From my personal experience and that of friend dj's I would say you skip cheaper ones and go for the Pionneer CDJ-100's. I was in your position some years ago and although I originally thought buying some cheaper ones, I have never regreted buying the latter. Played with mine in clubs, open air seaside parties and they still work pefect. Also they're very good for beatmatching practice. And last but not least when you're called to play somewhere they're the ones you usually play with, at least in small venues or private parties. So if you are seriously into it I would definetely suggest you go for them. After all they're not that expensive for what they offer.

    I just got a Pioneer 200, its just awesome, a little bit better than the 100. It costs the same as a ION or Numark package, but 12000000000 times better and worth it than any numark or ion package.

    So Ive been looking at these cd players, from a company called Ion.  They only sell them as a package with a crappy mixer without channel EQ's, but thats ok, what I really want to know is, would I be better off saving for some better cd players?  I have no experience as a DJ, except for messing around making mixes to listen to in the car or at work with a program called Atomix.  I just want a beginner setup to learn to beatmatch with.  Has anyone heard any horror stories about Ion?

    I just bought a numark fusion 111 package for 299.99 with case and headphones. It has the same stuff that ION package has there but numark is known as a better brand than ION. I have also seen a couple of Gemini packages for that price with headphones and case as well, you should check those out. But remember, the best investment would be getting Pioneer, they cost much more but will last way longer and dont skip, these cdj package skip a lot and gets pretty annoying even if your mixing at home.

    Didn't hear Tube too but i've heard Void and they suck harder than Skazi. Also i really hate the direction Exaile turned after joining CC. They started rather OK.

    Tube is worse than Void could ever be, it sounds like some kind of evil plot. Isnt Void the ones that made that crappy "The master blaster" or some shit like that? Terrible.

    Sounds like you fit right in. I haven´t heard Tube but infact I am not sure I even want to hear it. Something worse than Skazi is  :ph34r:

    Thanks for the welcome there. TUBE is just the all time worst thing that somebody coud have even created at all. All the songs have some kind of crappy synth violin cheese that sounds like "The final countdown" with a beat. But I have to admit that its good for a laugh :lol:

    Hi, I'm new here and I think I'll like it here because I have no tolerance for the chemical crew at all, but the worst creation ever to come out of the chemical crew has to be TUBE, completely terrible sports program "techno" if you ask me. Skazi? Sucks hard too but Tube is just the worst I have ever heard period.
