    Default !2000 Dollars to Spend!

    Budget: $2000

    Music: Hip Hop, Top 40, Electro, Happy Hardcore ^^

    Scratching?: Yes I plan on scratching a little bit.

    Experience: None!!!

    Have A Emulation System: None!!!

    Thought about getting the S4 after hearing some great reviews regarding price/quality about it. But thought otherwise decided I might want to stick with the more traditional or cdj style tables!

    Any recommendations? And anyone mind explaining to me what the major differences between the Pioneer CDJs are?

    Thanks, and your comments are much appreciated!

    Does that 2000 include a computer?

    If it does get a macbook plus an s4.

    If not get an S4 and a midi fighter with the instant gratification mapping. Get some nice powered speakers with the remaining 1000. With that you'll be ready to rock a party.

    With 2000$ you can only get the small CDjs and a mixer. The cdj 2000's are over 2000$ for one. The cdj 350's or the 850's may be an option.

    Forget CDJ's. if you have $2,000, get this.

    2x Stanton ST-150's, or STR8-150's if your gonna do alot of scratching = $1,000
    Stanton M.203 Mixer = $100
    2x M44-7 cartridges = $88
    Traktor Scratch Pro 2 = $699

    About $1,900, not includin tax.

    If you really want to buy CDJs or TTs, the second hand market is the place to look. But, TRY BEFORE YOU BUY.
