Hello, so I'm contempalting a new rig and have a few questions I'd like some feed back on.
Firstly, is I'm thnking of heading down the CDJ/Mixer route. So what's the big deal?? Well I'm completely ignorant of the things(CDJs) since I started w/ Vinyl in 98 and right about when the cdjs came on the seen I checked out. Fast foreword to 2009 I decided to start playing again and picked up a VCI-100 and Traktor. I've had alot of fun playing house (west coast and chicago), and I have also picked up a few weddings and am planning on doing more. I also have a chance to play w/ some old friends at a club or two. Im thinking a pair of used CDJ 900s and a mixer DJM850 or DB:2. This would be perfect for club practice and also make my wedding gigs look and sound great. It would also let me dust of the old tt's and play some records.
This all sounds fine and good but its gonna cost me. Should I just wait for the new S4 and plug the tts into it? Seems a liitle cheesey to me... Or simply, what are the Pros and Cons of Mixer/TTs compared to Controler/TTs for one who who plays house music and hopefully high end weddings.
Which brings me to the second part of the debate. Traktor intagration. I see it w/ the controller and the 850 as everything covered but how would the DB:2 work w/ TSP? Why do I like the DB:2? I don't know exactly, I think for the money and my needs its the best mixer out there. Pioneer could be sweet too. If the DB:2 was scatch certified it would be a no brainer. Its got a sound card so I won't need an audio 6 or anything right?? I'll just be using midi vs. HID w/ traktor. Prolly not a big deal for a guy playing house and weddings??? Would I need an Audio 6 w/ the DJM 850 the tts to run Time code?
Looks like the 900s are signifantly better than the 850s Yes? Worth the money? Traktor? are the 850s scratch certified??
I got some money and want some nice gear but don't want to over spend. If there is anything else i'm missing feel free. School is now in session.
Thanks! DJTT
