Thread: Cheap DJ Setup

  1. #1

    Default Cheap DJ Setup

    Well I was thinking to myself when I can start getting DJ gear again I started thinking "Is the APC40 REEEEEAAALLLLYYYY worth the extra $100-150?" No not really because you're paying alot for the encoders and what not...(Then again the encoders are smooth when I got to feel one in GC) So Had a thought
    APC20 (Deck controls)
    BCR2000 for effect/EQ/WHO KNOWS WHAT XD
    A2DJ for... do I even have to say
    What else should I do? I have untill october to buy junk
    $300 month Starting in June.

    Dont worry even with alot of stuff to learn how to use I also practice my mixing while mapping stuff out so that I know what does what =p

    Personally I started with an apc40 in traktor and loved it. The mapping might be a little hard to get used to but you'll get the hang of it pretty quick.

    Shipping would probably murder me
    Only interested in the controller really. but still the overseas shipping to Arizona =.=
    I ordered a Japanese pen one time for $20 ended up being $40 because of the shipping

    BCR2000, MIDIfighter and Audio4DJ next to the mixer you already own.

    This is what kept me rocking for almost three years in a row. (And would still have been doing so, if I hadn't received my S4 as a gift. )

    Dude Midi Controllers by their very nature are customizable so that means they are all near enough the same.....you should be thinking "What do i need to do?" and then looking for a controller, make yourself apply to the controller not the other way around

    Well I do know what I would need to do with it If I could find someone selling an APC40 in the states that would be awesome.
