i use 447 on serato (time encoded vinyl) and they are fine.

how much have you guys seen cdj1000s go for second hand. wouldnt mind getting one (or two)

could get familiar with the on board sampler on the 1000.
3 and 4 deck mixing on the horizon.

does anyone not have cdjs at home, but play out on them?

Yep. Never owned a set. 2nd hand depends - 1000's are harder to get hold of than 800's.

I got a second hand 1000 mk3 for $1100 a couple of years ago they were $2000+ brand new then, dunno how much they are now.

I use 2x 800's and the 1000 atm. the loop functions are great and u can do many tricks on them. easier to use than vinyls. vinyls are limiting.

check out teknoscape.com.au in the forsale section u will pick up a bargin there. so many kids want to dj for the wrong reasons and end selling their gear when they realise they dont love music as they should.

I'd stay away from the vinyl path at the moment if you're a beginner. It's expensive and harder to learn on. I started out this way, then went digital and now onto CD's. Unfortunately (and it's quite disappointing), vinyl has been pretty much eliminated from the scene nowadays and has all gone to CD.

Whatever you do, don't buy cheap CD players - Take a look at the Pioneer CDJ800's and use these as a minimum. If you can afford the 1000's then go for it. Mixers are easy to source and usually a $200 shitter will get you by until you're ready to buy something better (Read 'better' as: Pioneer - Another industry standard

).

If you're still strapped for cash, steer away from the no-name brands whatever you do. Pioneer, Stanton, Behringer, Numark, etc will get you started - They are made for dj's and will have the features and reliability that you need.

Either way, it's an expensive hobby to get into, but very rewarding at the same time.

Depends wat kind of genre you mix mate. i do dnb and let me tell you vinyl is far from eliminated! yeah in pretty much every other type of music it out but pretty much every dj in drum n bass use's vinyl.

REAL DJ'S MIX VINYL
If you want the easy way out get programs such as serato scratch or ableton. a child could mix this way. or if you wanna do it the real way set yourself up with some technics decks(t1200's or 1210's). if you start off with average ones you'll only want better ones 6 months down the track!! Pioneer mixer FTW

real djs make people dance doesnt matter what they use. thats their main goal.

99% of people at parties dont give a shit what djs use, all they care is what is coming out of the speakers , although vinyls look more cooler :P.

explain yourself. how is pre programing the pitch dj'n?? a fuckn child could do that. yeah knowin when to drop is a key element, and reading the crowd is also vital, but if all you have to do is read one pitch and match the other to it with digital readings infront of you, where's the god dam skill in that. QC i know you can agree with me. biggest crock ever??? the biggest crock ever is the easy way out mate. untill you learn to respect and watch propper dj's throw a vinyl down and beat match it within 8 bars dont talk like you know the game. biggest crock is lettin the computer do the hard part for ya
