i'm using stanton decks with a gemini mixer and i use the laptops sometimes too.

using stanton str8-50s now.

how much for the finalscratch?

i'm using traktor dj studio as a supplement to my usual DJ setup and i find that its really great and versatile. i could cross mix mp3s with vinyl and play cds on traktor. Gives me far greater choice of material to mix with considering the availability of vinyl here. and i don't have a CDJ...yet. so traktor is the only thing i use to mix mp3s/CDs with vinyl.

of course, this only works well if you're a mix dj, if you're a scratch dj, best guess if you could use traktor to loop the sounds and then at least use a turntable to scratch the samples on.

turntablist

u mean you just started ut in electronic music this year?

btw, anyone of you guys here ever performed on a gig before?

try groove syndicate.. they sell great 2nd hand and new djing gear at GREAT prices.

for your belt drive turntable its ok to mix with it, but scratching is extremely hard.

numark starter kit is not good for scratching because the turntables are also belt-drive, but if you're really on budget then no choice lor... if you're serious about DJing, chances are you'll grow outta these decks really quick and upgrade them pretty soon....if possible try saving hard for a pair of technics SL-1200 or vestax

to link the turntable to computer do you mean you load samples in mp3/wav format in computer then scratch over them on your decks? to do that you'd need to buy final scratch. if you just mean by cross-mixing between vinyls and mp3s then you only need to get some software like traktor and use an external mixer.

try sinamex in times square.. you might have to wait for them to order it though

sinamex had an outlet in starhill? i didn't know that. the only sinamex i went to is in times square

hi DJ How. what genres you spin? do you only spin NRG?

cdj800 is not bad too if you don't have as much cash as you need for the cdj1000mk3 model

CDJ800 would be around RM3k++ per unit...as for CDJ500, it doesn't scratch, so its a major setback there...

get the cdjs or turntables+mixer setup....its much better as compared to software

try groove syndicate in desa sri hartamas or sinamex in times square...that's where i get most of my gear from =) and there's this place in puchong called acoustic sound & lighting that carries vestax gear.

beginner sets would start from RM3-4k i think. but do try to buy 2nd hand items that's in good condition and you'll be surprised with the kind of bargains you can get.

anyone know how to get CDJ-400 in kl and for what price? previously I used to get my gear from SykoG at Rollingeye or Sinamex. I've heard of places like Allies or Excessive but haven't really been there before. i'm considering of buying them in here melb, they're selling for A$900 ea., but i dunno how to ship them back. Any info appreciated thanks
