You should make sure the voltages are multivolt for use in US AND outside of US. DJ controllers aren't taxed by our government, so you should be good. Get it from a reputable vendor and MAKE SURE you calculate your SHIPPING before ordering! A couple of kgs will add hundreds to an order.

Tough to find any kind of controller equipment repair locally. I have no experience in that, which is why I bought the Denon MC3000 instead. Thing is built like a tank.

As long as your transformer is legit and good, it'll be okay. Just always remember to have it around! Would suck to arrive at a gig without one, or if someone accidentally plugged it in without the transformer. Gotta take good care of your investments!

i dont recommend purchase from overseas , especially when something wrong with it u cant do anything onwards ... cuz it doesn't support asia country , try going to SMX in times square KL

i started off from mentor protege basis ..... slowly trying new stuff my self

The Goldsounds DJ school has a Groupon up now for an introductory course. You could try for that if you are interested.

DJing isn't hard, especially as a hobby. The passion for music and pleasing your audience is what matters. Always keep that in mind! Good music played at the right volume, at the right time.

And if you really want to use it purely for hobby purposes, perhaps a smaller 2-channel mixer would be better. The Pioneer digital gear is pretty funky, with light up platters and stuff. (and you probably won't ever need 4 channels)

As a hobbyist, you shouldn't worry about battle skills. Battle skills look cool, but nobody dances to battle music. And of course Goldsounds doesn't teach battle skills; it's introductory! I would recommend going for the intro Groupon course *before* buying a mixer. RM80 to learn that you don't want to do it vs RM2000 (in case you actually don't like it)

Learning online is sufficient for basic mixing. It's about counting and knowing your music well. Technology will help you fast track to being able to play, but by no means does it mean you are good or can play in public.

2 channels is more than enough. 4 channels are tough even for people who have years of experience DJing. With a digital controller setup a 2 channel mixer can be used in so many ways. I would suggest mastering 2 channels first before considering 4, because even 2 channels could take more than a year to learn.

In all honesty, if you want to buy a controller for hobby use (vs using in public), I would recommend something much simpler than the S1. The Pioneer WeGo has a great style factor and leaves you alot of room to grow. If you master the WeGo and want to play in bigger venues/parties, then you can consider buying something fancier like a Traktor S4 or equivalent. Then you can use the WeGo as a fun, portable party mixer.

A money-saving piece of advice is to start small. Think about what you want to use your mixer for. In general:
$250-1500 : Hobbyist / small parties
$1500-2500 : More technically inclined people
$2500++ : You DJ for a living or you have a lot of money

Seriously, for small parties a basic 2 channel controller with EQ, pitch, cue/fx buttons is more than enough. If you have an iPad, you can download plenty of DJ programs to try your luck with (though physical controllers are much more fun).

1 day left, and only RM50!

Again, try before you buy

It's pricey (for us) @$100, but it's got the basics down from what controller to buy to basic mixing skills. I bought it, and I think it added to my experience pretty quickly. Nothing beats practice and deck time of course though, which is what goldsounds can offer.

betwwen these 2, the biggest difference is the software. S1 is Serato and S2 is Traktor. Traktor gives more effect but more heavy load for your laptop, Serato gives better stability but less effect. Otherwise both of them have just small difference. Its all about your practice time and skill after all.
First step is look into youtube for lots and lots of  reviews and giggs from these 2 controller, then decide traktor or serato.

good enough for amateur dj

Bro sometimes I experience that too. Well you just have to practice more on your tracks so u know where to fade in
Haha me too 

Lol dubstep mixing is pretty advanced. You should start with 4/4 music like House. Learn a bit about manual beatmatching, then use sync to learn phrase matching. After that you can use Traktor's key analysis to do harmonic mixing.

You should also be counting constantly. Being able to figure out where the count is at without counting would be the goal, but otherwise just keep counting on one.
