Three decks, three prices, one N00B needs help

[LIVEMAU5]

Hey guys

Im new to techtools forums as off today, but i was referred to this site from randomforumtitle, the guys their said this would be the best place to get the advice i was looking for.

I asked the guys over their which would be the best deck to start with and most of them recommended the Hercules steel. I looked it up on Ebay and i can get one for £150 and a years warrenty.

But then i noticed two other decks he was selling,

Hercules DJ Control MP3 e2 Digital Mixing MIDI, £99
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=170585446204

and Hercules DJ Control MP3 E2 DJ Controller e2 for £69.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=190487580020

Me and my brother are going to split the price in half, he works, i dont. So the price can be anything from 150 down.

We want the steel because from a demo we saw it looks pretty simple to start, is cheap and comes with virtual DJ V5 and a carry bag for extra funk lol

So to sum it alllllllllllllll up.

Which deck should a novice like me go for? the steel or the other cheaper ones?

Your adivce is highly recommended and valued so thanks for any advice you can give

also, get rid of the second to last line of your post or else this thread will get really off topic really fast

EDIT: fuck. i just saw your user name. god speed.

newfag is new?



sorry :P g'luck "mau5" hope you don't pass out on the decks

Ok i'll clue you in on what they are "on" about.
Deadmau5 has lost a lot of respect for some things he ranted about, and in general his bad attitude.
No one is being mean, they are just saying with that name, and your obvious like for the mau5, someone will probably hijack the thread to rant about Deadmau5.
Back on topic....
What ever controller you choose, you will eventually upgrade to something else if you stick with it. So don't stress too much about which one, just do some research (product reviews from reliable sources, feature comparisons, etc) and pick one. If you are just starting to learn DJing, you have alot more to learn than just how to work the controller.

Anyway, don't let the lite hearted fun these guys are throwing at your name, get your knickers in a twist. This is a very good forum for controllerism/Digital Jockeying with a lot of helpful and whacky folks. I give you cudo's for posting your thread in the right forum and not general discussion!

Much respect to you for chiming in with a serious response. This is what DJTT's is about. Not trashing someone for wanting to learn and asking advice.

Sorry if i pissed anyone off, i didnt know my name would cause this much trouble.
I just carried it from randomforumtitle...
Im pretty new here, im just trying to get some advice.

Thanks guys
I was going to go for the steel but i guess that might be too professional ie too complicated....

I just dont want to get something that will baffle me and make me feel like a failure, but i dont want to waste my money on something then find its limited.... :|
I dont know, ill read up on all the decks and compare them.

Thanks for the advice,this websites pretty damn good...
