What are Some Good Turntables and Mixers ?

[jdog667jkt]

Nope. A controller is a device that controls MIDI signals and allows you to play music using a program such as Traktor on your computer. A mixer is an analogue device that allows you to control volume and EQ's of the music externally without a computer.

A controller would be the VCI-100SE, Numark Total Control, Vestax Spin and the list goes on.


A mixer is a DDM-4000 or DJM 400 and such

no! a controller is just like 2decks and a mixer, but you will need a laptop or desktop computer, and you might need a sound card.

hey, if you dont need this stuff right now, try and do some research and stuff, hang around here, stuff like that for a few weeks
then when you understand this stuff real well then make your decisions

my set up was really low cost and i spent around $500, so if thats loose change for you, i suppose you could dive into things without figuring it out first. but if youre tight in cash, research.

No you don't need a controller and a mixer and turntables

you can either mix music with the turntables and a mixer, or with a controller. 2 separate things. if you got the money to spend and you want to go for it, buy the turntables and a mixer but if you're strapped for cash (my situation, and many others) then get a controller so you can learn the basics of mixing and what mixing music is all about. you also don't need a mic right away, but you do need to get some speakers and a sound card.

and yes you need traktor pro (or serato) and a laptop if you plan on mixing with your computer

[theory28]

ok ok how about this.
give us how much money youre willing to spend, and what stuff you already have

do you have a laptop?
do you plan on moving your set up around?
are you just going to do this in you bedroom?
