I am looking into getting some turntables to fool around with. Always wanted to give DJing a little try and at the very least I love the sound of vinyl. Sigur Ros + Vinly = Hevean.

Anyone here DJ or have DJ equipment?

I use to DJ from 94-2001 or so. hip hop at first then breaks/DnB. Very expensive habit. Make sure you really want to do it because it?s not hard to throw down 2k just getting started. DJ's are also a dime a dozen so don?t expect to make a reliable source of income of it. Just have fun, its one of the most challenging instruments out there.

Well I found some really cheap TTs that i am thinking of gettign off of craigslist. Then I would need a mixer..so that would prob come to around 300 which is a REALLY good deal. Vinly is so expensive tho.

I am trying to get some headway on producing...little to no experience in mixing, though, sorry.

I hope you got the joke, and were just adding this information to the thread. Because I wasn't serious. At all.

if you're really interested in serrato, look at the new rane mixer. its so badass.

there are so many good TT out now; even though technics are probably still the top, there are other really good ones too.

cd decks are also way cool; f the pioneers and look at the denon dn-s5000. :)

I would love serrato or a CDJ..but both are really expensive. A good cdj costs 600+...the same for serato. I just want to test it out and see if I like it. Thats kind of like diving in head first.
