Future DJ Question
Posted on: 01.02.2013 by Linh Pierz
Hey,
I needed some input for my future DJ set up and I have a few questions.

My set up would be as follows:
DJ Software: Traktor
Mixer: Kontrol Z2
Turntables: ???
Midi Controllers: Either 2 Midi Fighter Spectra's or 1 Midi Fighter Spectra and 1 Maschine MK2

I'm on a REALLY tight budget and as we all know, DJ gear isn't cheap. With that said, here are my questions.
1: What turntables should I get? So far, I found that Stanton turntables run relatively cheap. Anyone have any suggestions?
2: What midi controller should I get? I really love the concept of the Midi Fighter Spectra and I'm definitely getting at least one. But I also see DJ's using the Maschine. Which would you prefer?

Thanks for your help.

Nope - the Z2 comes with Scratch Pro 2 and control vinyl.

I recommend Technics 1200s or 1210s. There's probably no need to go for anything beyond mk2s for using Traktor. Check out this thread: http://community .djranking s.com/showthread.php?t=47069

I have and love Maschines. I played with the Spectra a lot, but I would recommend Maschine over it simply because there's more there.

With turntables, you get what you pay for, so if you sit on your money, and save up for a decent set, it will pay off, plus they will hold their resale value.

What set up did you have previously?
