I'm new to DJ'ing with hardware. I've only tried mixing with mp3's on my computer...
This is the setup I've put together:
Double CD-Player: Omnitronic CDP-381 Omega
Mixer: Omnitronic DJ-50
You'll find more info here:
CD-Player: http://www.omnitronic.de/showproduc...0602261&lang=en
Mixer: http://www.omnitronic.de/showproduc...0006573&lang=en
The price for all this is 7000 Norwegian kroner (or about 843 $)
I don't want to spend more cash than 10.000 Nkr (or 1205 $)...
And mixing with CD's are my only alternative right now.
So... is this a good setup to start with?
Has any1 got the same setup??
Or have any1 tested these DJ Tools???
Btw... Do u need 2 have a mixer with High,Mid & Bass knobs to mix Trance?
Because the Low-price mixers do not have these knobs... |

I don't know that cd player looks pretty crappy, I have been mixing with cds for a while now, and a jog wheel is really nice, pitch bend buttons, just arent responsive enough.
maybe you should check out the numark fusion series. they are pretty good and affordable. You can get a whole set-up from pssl.com for $599 US, and It even has a soft case and headphones. (note this is a table top system, not a rack mount if that matters.)

Thanx for the tip DJ Zinni...
That set looks cool, although the crossfader on that mixer has a long
travelling distance (if u know what I mean?).
Or isn't that important?
What about this one:

What brand is best btw: Numark, Pioneer and so on? |

| That mixer looks okay for beginners, but I'm sure as you improve quickly you would want a better one very soon. |

Don't spend too much money on the initial setup.
Spend money on the records!
Also, why CD players? Are you sure you don't want turntables? |

Dude, You can but a set of 2 Pioneer CDJ100 for 300$ each.
And you can buy Stanton RM3-S mixer... Its a good mixer and not so expensive...
The package will cost you smth like 800-850 dollars... |

I would sugest a Pioneer DJM-300 to mix with
it's a good startoutmixer that will last for pretty long :)
if you go with cd i would sugest a denon dual cd-player or a set of CDJ-100s |

I can't have turntables yet. I live in a town where people think that vinyls are a thing from the 80's :rolleyes:
And if I should start buying vinyls it would be very expensive, because I would have to order them over the internet... and that costs very much :mad:
So cd's are my only alternative for now :)
But when I someday move to a big city I'm gonna buy vinyls like a madman :D
And thanx for all the help guys, I'm checking out every setup u recommend. Keep em comin':) |
