wanna ask u all DJ ppl, what do u all think of m-audio's torq thats just released(from what i know). saw some vids on youtube.

i don't think starter kits are good man, what's the point of buying gears if somewhere in the middle you're gonna quit coz your hardware sucks. if the budget is super tight, getting used standard stuff is better than those starter kits.

too bad nothing beats the feels of a vinyls... sad but true lol.. we can always embrace other technology oh well..

Hi all

Let say i would want to buy a mixer for just EDM music, can we just use any mixer in the market that can suit the purpose?

Recently i have bought a used Vestax dj mixer to started out my true gear collection & later i found out it is most suitable for hip-hop/battle usage only. I was like WTF??? and most of the search result on the net says the same.

Please, can I use that mixer for EDM purpose?

IMHO, if you already have it then just use it cause no reason why you can't use different genres of music (especially at my very beginner level).

Granted its not feature packed like more higher end mixers but basically you're just essentially mixing the sound from one channel with another with your crossfaders and up/down channel faders and you have your 3 band EQs.

I admit the layout is more for battle/scratch DJs but nothing you won't get used to after awhile. If you have it, use it. That's just what I think - I'm still extremely new to this so I'm giving you a truly truly layman's point of view.

Speed - I'd get the 400s if I were you. Seems to have lots of features, is newer and cheaper too than the 1000s. For some reason the 800s never looked good to me either, and they're probably only industry standard in Malaysia - elsewhere its either 1000Mk3 or DVJ1000s soon to take over as the industry standard. Any idea when those are available locally or are they already available in KL (usual 2 month wait I suppose).

Redbustop - under RM1k IIRC. Have you considered other brands? AKG, Beyer,etc? Whatever it is, won't be mpre than RM2k anyways. If you can, keep a spare in case.

Hi all! I am new to DJing, really wish to learn. Was looking around the web for stuff about DJing but nothing from malaysia hmmm.... what should I do how should I start? Read somewhere saying stanton stuff are good? tips please and how should I start Djing hehe. Researched alot recently, then there are direct drive turntables n mixers, dj packages, those with mp3 cds, vinyl, what should i look for and get? sry for my post if it sounds rushed/wierd...

what should i buy for the gears? and, should i start off with learning to dj with softwares, and then after that start to get some gears? most importantly, what gears to buy, and where. i mean like, ppl say about CDJs, ppl talk abt those that can connect to computers, and ppl talk abt vinyls. what should i look for? in my mind i have this thinking of, getting 1 set, virtual DJ with TotalControl (Numark), since I am pretty used to VDJ already(been playing around for a year). And then there are those FinalScratch 2.0 n stuff. AND, there are those CDJs, which from what I heard Pioneer is only mediocre... so.. where should I go? thanks a billion!

oi pimpin, i was asking you  which shop in kl did you buy your gears from?

care to answer, thanks in advance...
