Which decks should i choose?
Which decks should i choose? Posted on: 28.06.2013 by Evita Quiroz Hello everyone on DJTT!I want to take my DJing "to the next step" with the new gear . But is ambivalent about what to choose and what should suit me best. My current setup DDJ-T1 and Traktor Pro with my Macbook Pro Gaming headphone Standing up against my wall in the kitchen HiFi speakers Requests for money were not a problem CDJ-2000 and DJM-Nexus 2000 Nexus V-Moda Crossfade LP " Built DJ Booth in the living room genelec 8010 The problem is I have no idea how much money whatsoever but has a permanent job shooting plus a little as it is possible to save up for anything, but the question is whether it is worth it or if it's just me who is interested in technology and want it "best" What I do not want is TC with Audio 8 and my computer with cdj 800 for example. So as I understand it is my choice CDJ-400 and DJM 400 or CDJ 900 and DJM 400/800/850/900/2000 or CDJ 2000 DJM 400/800/850/900/2000 or CDJ 2000 and DJM Nexus 400/800/850/900/2000 What would you recommend if I want to move on in my DJ playing? What do you get the best experience / Functionality for the lowest price? Since the speaker .. What do you recommend? I'm living in a apartment so i can not have to much bass .. Having looked at the KRK Rokit 5, is it good? Since headphones .. What do you recommend? Looked at: HD25 V-Moda Crossfade HDJ 1000/2000 Beats Mixxr With my current setup, what do you believe I should buy first? What do most development from DDJ-T1 to get as close to the evening club gigs as possible? Sorry for all the questions, answer as many as you can! PS do not use the CD, would like to have as clear a waveform as possible. Thanks in advance /Niklas | |

What phones do you recommend? |

| Jonathan Chiuchiolo 08.07.2013 | DDJ-SX, you will be able to dip your foot into high quality dj gear with a similar feel and style to pioneers heavyweights for about an eighth of the price of your ideal setup you mentioned. And get the HD25's best headphones I have ever had, HDJ1000's are the worst. Speaker wise I would go for the 6 inch, it should give you a more full sound while not adding too much bass, but they will fill a room with enough sound to practice with. My brand preference is mackie as they have a better sound than the rockit's to my ears and are the same price |
| Rufus Ondrick 08.07.2013 | i agree with johney, if you're gonna be using mainly traktor i wouldnt get CDJ's as they would be very expensive controllers. they're best used without software to take advantage of all their features, well in my opinion anyway |
| Augustine Mitzen 07.07.2013 | get some controller with the platter, what's the point of getting CDJ's when you're going to be using them as controllers anyway? |
| Alphonso Deitchman 06.07.2013 | Go for Hifi speakers with a separate amplifier if you want decent at-home performance at a low price. You can't get much clearer waveforms than those on Traktor. If you want VU meters (green/yellow/red) you could take a look at the DDJ-SX? |

| Mimi Mahaffee 04.07.2013 | hey there, what you currently have is what gives you "best function" for the money since you dont play cds. you better tell us what you want to do different if you want some proper feedback. I would perhaps start off with putting money on new headphones! |
