Beginner gear (thinking V7 and SA.3) any advice?
Beginner gear (thinking V7 and SA.3) any advice? Posted on: 09.08.2010 by Rickey Lemmens Hi everyone, i'm new here and a beginner and am trying to decide on what gear to start with. I'd prefer to buy a pretty minimal setup for now to see how I get on, while also having the option to add bits in the future (without making my previous purchases completely redundant).I've been doing lots of reading around these community s and so far i'm believeing about numark's V7, just using the 1 with the deck switch to start with and learning the basics like beatmatching etc with it. I'm not a massive hip hop fan or anything: more into techno, minimal and electronica atm (indie too) so scratching isn't a priority or anything (tho don't mind having it there as an option to play with). Does this seem like a reasonable choice? I don't have too much money to spend on the mixer just yet so I was believeing of getting the Stanton SA.3 (about | |
| Rickey Lemmens 09.08.2010 | Cheers for the quick responses guys! ctrld - yeah that's a fair point, well after a quick search i've found a couple of choices for mixers that are a bit more expensive |

| Annalisa Shogren 23.08.2010 | Are you looking to DJ without a computer? Guessing by the V7 it's computer as it's MIDI... Why not check out Native Instruments new controller? http://www.native-instruments.com/#/...or-kontrol-s4/ It's not out yet, but I believe it would really be worth the wait. Only around a month and a half until it's out. Also, that way you'll be able to save some more money to buy it with as it may just be a little out of your price range. Plus it comes bundled with Traktor Pro S4, so there's no need to purchase Traktor Pro at extra cost. |
| Rebbecca Fennell 09.08.2010 | Something to keep in mind the filter might be a bit redundant. I've got a v7 and I usually keep the fx set as a filter. |
| Rickey Lemmens 09.08.2010 | Yea believe i've pretty much made my mind up then: the V7 & XONE 22, tho just gonna give myself a couple of days to sleep on it just incase i change my mind.. Thanks for the help you guys, much appreciated |
| Leeanna Ayla 09.08.2010 | Good believeing and I'm with ctrld on this one, spending a little more now will saving you from spending a lot more later. |

| Leeanna Ayla 09.08.2010 | I believe you would be better off with and all in one controller, like the Spin or something like that. |
09.08.2010 | V7s: good idea SA.3: bad idea APCs: good idea don't go and get kickass decks & controllers only to run your sound though a shitty mixer. never ever do that. get something good like ecler, urei, vestax, rane or a&h. avoid pioneer unless you can't help it. |
