I've got a Torq Xponent running on the Torq software and 2 KRK Rokit 8 Monitors (the 'old school' box ones). I haven't tried Torq 2.0 yet though.
Had them for a while now but I haven't really used them as much as I wanted to.

I started out with 2 Technics 1200's and a Vestax PMC-05 Pro, all of which was used. I bought a new Torq Connectiv pack eventually so that I didn't have to deal with a bunch of vinyl. It was fun at first but for some reason I couldn't get used to the whole set up and sold it all. Then I discovered the Xponent which had been out for a few years.

By the way, nice set up Euro. Is that a custom table you put your set up on or it comes like that?

Bought the table at Staples, why did u sell your 1200's? I always wanted to try out vinyl..

:D Like to see what some of you guys could do.

Sold the 1200's because it was a hassle to move around and I didn't really have space for them. I don't regret it though, the Xponent is fun to play with.

thoughts?

Reason you wan't to go with CDJ's over a midi controller?

if i could afford it i would choose CDJs over midi controller hands down

better to learn from cdjs then move onto midi controller

CDJ's are on there way out and everything is going Midi. Even Pioneer has come out with a midi controller.

^ nah bro CDJ's are absolutely not on their way out... Midi controllers are more for personal use i guess, it will never replace the industry standard. You can say Vinyl is going out but no not really...

Alright guys you asked for some demos so heres a few I made when i first started out. Nothing special in my opinion cause i would say i have greatly improved since then but better then nothing. I will make a new Hard House mix sooner or later when i have the patience.

I personally find that when i record a demo i tend to fuck up due to trying to mix perfectly so i hate recording lol.


A Trance Mini Mix

Heres a DJF (Amateur) Trance battle i entered with some guy a few months back. This was my submission. I won the battle!

Vinyl's dead for most DJ uses Tech 1200's are not even being made anymore. Midi controllers are taking over. I don't see a real difference between a CDJ and a midi controller.

thats pretty much creme. pretty much the best equipment out there right now (aside from the cdj2000 which is the mk3 w/ software)

for anyone starting from the bottom up, the midi controllers would be a good start as they take up a lot less space. its also wiser spending in case u really are just starting from the bottom and just trying to figure out if u like mixin or not.

for me, i started with vdj years ago, and only now (because of space) ventured into physical equipment.

il be all over this if there was still warranty

^ its pioneer so these things outlast everything. Make sure u test it prior tho. Ive seen CDJ1000 with 1 inch of dust on them with beer spilled all over u name it and they work fine. You seriously get what u pay for.

you're pretty good! I always wanted to learn how to dj haha, I believe i have enough music and the right mindset, and patience to take a try, but no equipment, any place i can rent em?

^Thx man! You can rent pretty much any DJ equipment you want at Long and Mcquade.

ill try my luck at djing after i finish my tattoo :lol

^ its actually funny u mentioned the whole thing about DJing...

i was on the Trance Thread and most of the good songs were posted by u lol good taste

thanks :) iunno after nye and being beamed, i had a crazy idea of a killer mix but just dont have the equipment to do it, planned it all out roughly haha

Planning to dj at clubs and other events too. So might as well get a club standard one right?

Controllers and CDJ's are very similar. going from a controller to a CDJ wouldn't be to hard.

CDJs have a totally different feel then a midi controller and a computer. If you do plan on taking it somewhat serious and maybe begin playing out in the future then go with CDJ's or vinyl.

Learning the concept of mixing and EQ's, Song Structure, ect, a midi controller would be perfect. More like a starter 250cc bike lol and eventually if you like it move up to a 750. You will want to upgrade your equipment as soon as you start getting better and better.



Check out these vids guys, Roger Sanchez blew my fucking mind!

Part 1





Part 2 (better then part 1)

So I'v thought it out.
I would like to be a club dj, and mobile.
My plan is to by a controller, and then get good with that. Save up some money and then eventually switch to cdj 1000mk3 and a djm 800.
What do you think of my plan?

and most clubs have cdj 1000 mk3...

if you're just learning. would it be best to start off from vinyl to learn the basics and work you're way up to all the new computer tech stuff? or just learn with the computer tech stuff now?

^ Not vinyl.. Its on its way out.

go for the 900s instead of the 1000s. theyre generally cheaper and perform just as well and if not better. plus it comes with extra features that the 1000 doesnt have and somewhat the 2000 doesnt have either.

Anyways heres my sample
