buying 2x CDJ-2000 Nexus + DJM-900 Nexus.. is this all i need to buy?

[makar1]

I did say most, not the minimum required. If you're going minimum you may as well get a pair of 800 Mk2s instead.

you will need a 4/5 port switch, an ethernet lead for your djm900 another ethernet lead for the laptop/computer(if you are going to plug that directly into the setup) usb sticks's and a pair of hdj 2000's to match the rest

... wow. Just wow.

This, right here, is everything that's wrong in the industry right now.

Could not agree more.

The gas thing here is that this guy initially got pilloried for wanting to buy what’s considered the industry standard, while in the meantime there is a huge thread ongoing were lots of people are pissing down on DJ's who want to use controllers with the general trend being 'know how to use the CDJ's before even considering yourself a DJ' (The "club standard" CDJ. Lack of respect for controllerists. Why? http://forum.djtechtools.com/showthread.php?t=68473)

There is a huge price gap between a simple CDJ setup that will give you everything you need in order to learn mixing on CDJs, and the full Pioneer Nexus set.

There are also many skilled DJs out there that don't have the 1st clue about how the gear in front of them works.

I totally agree. But who wouldent like to have the Industry standard in your bedroom, lets face it many of the routines we all love to watch are done on the industry standard Pioneer gear. (just watch some of the Laidback luke routines out there,)and BTW I use controlers myself, never even touhed a CDJ2000.

Some people buy Ferraris, when a Skoda would still get them to all the places they want to go.

Nope, the point of the criticism was that he seems to have no clue about the stuff he wants to buy (and apparently about audio in general). And this is something which can be observered quite regularly on this board. There's no shortage of questions like "what kind of cables do I need?", which - in all honesty - should all be answered with "please quit!"

Totally agree. The criticism has nothing to do with what gear is being bought and EVERYTHING to do with the fact that his "research" into the gear is to come here and ask a question.

I completely agree with all that, but I do sometimes feel that there is a general prejudice against people buying expensive gear here unless they have worked their way up through all the crappy bits of gear and 'paid their dues' (or whatever is the DJ equivalent of bleeding fingers from the guitar strings). Down through the last few years, I have gone from a Korg nano to a BCD-2000 to finally spending a bit of money on a DDJ-T1, and to be honest If i had my time over I would have gone straight for the DDJ-T1. There is a lot of 'solve the problem for me, cos I don’t want to think’ posts out there but that was not the point I was making, merely that on one thread people are hammered for not being able to use CDJ2000's and on another someone who is thinking of buying some presumably so he can also learn to use them, is hammered for not knowing enough about them so he shouldn’t have them. You can’t win sometimes,
