Options for CDJ'ing

[Ashigari]

Sorry for the slight hijacking but I'd rather not open another thread as it's a similar problem like you:

I currently own two Numark TTX (not the USB version) but would rather have some CDJs for some reason...the obvious solution would be to trade my TTs for some CDJs, which ones you guys think I could get? I'd want some with USB and preferably rekordbox. I'd still use them with traktor (via my audio 8 as HID isn't very good as far as I'm aware)

another option is to wait for the Gemini CDJ 700 wich looks fantastic but I will def. wait to hear a review before buying them...

No problem, Ashgari, totally cool... I am either gonna see if i can get a good deal on 400's, or, do you guys think it would be cool to get two, or three 200's, and run them via timecode, with like, the A6 Package? And maybe an X1, so i can use some filters, cue points, ect. Ideas? Btw, i love mixing three decks, two isn't enough, four is too many. I love having one song, an acapella, and then the next track, all going, so that's my preferred style. So let me know what ya'll think...
Also, for Ashigari, what's your budget, and i might be able to suggest, i've done a lot of reading the last few days

We talking pioneer cdj400 because I've never send even used in abused shape for less then 500? If you know where to find in decent used condition for under 600 a pair please share

I used my 200's for timecode for a while, and about to start again next week (just bought an SL1). It's important to remember that the jogs can only pitch bend, or accelerate the track seek (which only matters in absolute mode). If you can score them cheap, then it's a good option, but there are many more feature filled players out there now for as much or less money.

I scoured ebay and fell upon a set for 800 bucks. I then ended up selling them for 1000 to fund my 2000s. So with proper searching they def can be had!

Also the option for getting 3 200s imo in a waste. THe 200s are relics they don't have vinyl mode, usb, or anything. IMO they are just too old. In addition you can only hook up 2 via an A6.

I found a pair of 400's i'm going to buy, because i can use them just plain USB, OR, they're traktor certified, with an audio interface, so i could run them with traktor if i so please =D

So here's an idea: What if i buy two pairs of 400's, turn them both around for a few hundred more, and get a pair of 850's used???

That's not a bad idea if you can make it happen. If I were you I'd check out www.pioneerelectronics.com, though.... wink wink. You might be surprised by what you find in the way of refurbed players....
