Starting Set Up Beginner DJ

**Dj Noriddim** · 07-20-2011, 07:16 AM

I have some beginner skill with a laptop and VDJ7. I'm looking into getting my first Controller and gear. The budget I set to get my controller is $500.

Here is what I'm looking at

Hercules Dj 4set for $250
Midi Fighter no case no top $155
Total $ 405 and the (95 change to handle all shipping I'm using next day)

I'm looking to use this setup at small venues as well

Any other ideas for beginner setups for a $500 budget

Thanks

Get yourself two Midifighter classic's and a soundcard and Traktor pro/2

Thanks but can you tell which sound card because two midi fighters will run me about 300 bucks and a audio2 cost 100 bucks and the audio6 cost 250.

Traktor pro 2 will run me into another 250-300

I know traktor is one of the best dj software out there so I planned to get that next month along with a audio6

But you have me thinking the two midi fighter set up sounds boss

Novation Twitch! $499 and comes with free ITCH software updates for life, built in soundcard etc. ITCH 2.0 looks awesome, and the all in one system will be nice and easy to learn on. You can always get Traktor and use it with that further down the line if you wish.

i would skip the MF as a beginner.
A2DJ (100), tp2 (200) and a cheap controller. Maybe something like that:

Great suggestions what about the mixtrack pro I saw this package for 545 with amp and 10 gemini speakers. It looked tempting

I was kinda sold on the hercules dj4set seeing as it has a built in interface and I see the mixtrack pro has that as well and 4 deck mixing capablities has anyone had any experience with hercules products or the mixtrack pro

I don't want to rush out and get a interface just yet I like the A2Dj but I would want the A6Dj as I feel the A2Dj is a bit limited.

Whatever I do I will be getting the midi fighter classic or midi fighter pro I like the fact that they can be modded.

^ This. Your better off getting something that you can rely on rather than getting the hercules, and the midi fighter you'd still need a mixer.
