ok so here is the deal

if you want to do it right from the get go...

2 tables, rane 57, laptop, serato

The other method is ...

pioneer cmx 3000

numark ppd 9000

Try finding these used. The Pioneer deck is pretty much 2 CDJs combined into one deck. Its great. The numark (although usualy the co. doesnt make top notch stuff) is fantastic. Has effects and a great feel for electronic music (cant scratch on this set up).

 

I started with 2 1200's and a cheap pyramid mixer. Upgraded to a Numark, and now another Numark mixer, 4 channel. My dad had the sound system already. I'm ready for sorato now

Serato is cool but is at $1000. Not good for starting up because you lose learning the basics of mixing. I don't use my vinyl at gigs anymore, just cd's.

Keep it simple with a dual cd mixer, mixer, cd's, P.A. = portable amp, and system with 2 main speakers with 2 subs, and a crossover. This would be the bottom line setup I would recommend.

I've been mixing since Jan. 1990. You've been given a lot of good suggestions and let us know what you end up with.

 

Serato: $475. new from rane

I live with an authorized Rane dealer.

 

I'll have to hook up with you when I'm ready for it Gary.

 

The CD player we use at the radio station is a CMX 3000, I like it a lot.

I don't want to go the laptop route because I want to learn to mix the old school way. That and I don't want to play vinyl because it's freaking expensive, maybe some other time I'll pick one up.

Thanks for the advice though dude I appreciate it! I'll be picking up a lot of music this week, still trying to find my niche.

 

no problem

sorry about the delay... havent had enough time to do much forum crawling with graduation looming and all


hit me up on aim or facebook me.... im pretty good about those two

 

wait, you got serato hook ups? I need please !!!! got my dance floor/ setup and 2 tech 12s at home ready and waiting

 

Verone you know that it'll go with your Dance Revolution step mats.

 

if you need a serato hookup... or anything Rane (like a 57 with serato built in )

I can get you the best prices PERIOD.

email me (not pm or anything...email)

SERATO is a good choice. you r not spend your money for vinyl. just purchase mp3's online. and playing on turntables is looks more interesting.
sorry for my fu**in bad english.
