Equipment List?

Alright guys, just been on this website called WhyBuyNew recommended by a mate and put this little setup together as I want to get into DJing (beginner).

Would this be alright + all that's needed? I don't really know what I'm looking for, hence why I'm here
Cheers x

 

why not get some technics 1210's and if your getting active speakers you dont need an amplifier, im no dj but you might need some headphones

 

you wouldnt need the amp if you buy active speakers if im not mistaken plus how about 2nd hand technics while you can get em ?

beat me to it

 

Defo get some second hand technics for the price of those decks!

 

So, ditch the amp, keep the monitors + mixer and try and pick up a pair of Technics?

 

DEFO ^^ technics you'll never need to upgrade n they'll never ware out

 

well if thats your budget you could do a lot better it seems, id spend less on the speakers and a bit more on the mixer

oh well and dont rush a purchase, read some test and search some boards

 

Any specific model of Technics that you'd recommend?

 

standard mk2's (Industry standard) that what i got n they never let me down. Mk5's are alot of money in comparison.

My friend sellin a pair for 325, have a look on Ebay.

 

Got the Mackie MR8's in the post, had a thought, how can I connect them to my computer?
Obviously a soundcard so, could someone point me in the right direction? £175-£200 max, thanks fellas xx

 

I got the MR8's, wicked monitors n all you need is a twin phono to jack lead to connect them up to a computer

 

£1000 for a beginner! Nah what are you on about my beginner was £272 total for everything

No need to spend that kind of money yet, even second hand Technics are around for 300-400

But then again you dont want to see that speakers I had as a beginner. Just spend the money on speakers

 

spending more on a better mixer is a thought you should consider. when i got my first setup i was keen to get the best as i didn't like the thought of having to sell my stuff to upgrade in a few years time. but i tdpeends how serious you are about mixing.
support the calls for a pair of Mk2s though, simply amazing.

 

you can get technics on ebay for less than 300, just look properly and search all models on there. some bargains to be had.

 

Mk5s are so much better than mk2s. Better torque, nice pitch fader all round a better deck for noT much more second hand
