Whats best for Dubstep the NS6 or the NS7?

[J Hollow]

But I seen people making Dubstep with the NS7 and its just as good as the NS6

What DAW were they using to be producing dub with a NS7??

If you wanna make music why not spend that $1,300 you've saved to buy a DAW, Midi controller, some monitors, and possibly even a nice desk or chair?

I 5000th agree on the start off with something cheaper than either NS6-7. If you get the NS7 and end up hating DJ'ing then thats gonna be a huge waste of money and a huge waste of space. I started out with just a mixtrack and an Audio 2 and i stuck with that for a year and a half till I got the hang of the basics before you work into other things. If you can't rock a party with a basic controller then you wont be able to on a high end one. I say if you should look into two tables a mixer and some dicers if you wanna go crazy with it, but thats just me.

I think there's some confusion to what the OP actually wants to do, not to mention if OP themselves are sure about what a DJ does.

@OP

To clarify, a DJ does not *make* music, producers make music using a so-called Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) like Ableton, Reason or FL Studio.

A DJ on the other hand plays records, and blendsthem together to provide one "seamless" mix of tunes that sound good together.

At this time two years ago, I was stepping behind vinyl for my first experience with even listening to two songs at the same time, much less manipulating an audiences musical journey...

But I knew, I just knew I wanted to earn the right to be called a DJ. At around that same time, Numark had released the NS7FX bundle, and in my haste I became obsessed with owning it as my first set-up. I thought about it so much and envisioned myself using it - so much so that I had dreams about it. I was so eager to begin learning, I downloaded Serato's ITCH and learned to load a song with the mouse and keyboard and create and manipulate loops. That was the extent of what I could do with no controller, but that was all I needed to keep the fire alive.

Fast forward a year and a half to November 2011 and I finally found myself purchasing my first set-up. I had already spent months seeing people frown upon users of Virtual DJ, so I opted to start with DJ Intro instead. I taught myself to beatmatch, cue, throw, cut, transform scratch, loop like vinyl, and keep my audience happy when I trainwrecked. It's been four months since then, and I'm still learning.

I started recording my sessions two weeks ago... after three months of consistent practice, research, youtube watching, and girlfriend's opinions. After listening to my first recording, I realized I had come a long way, but still had a long way to go. That's good, though, because as much as I've learned to do, I still haven't brought out my set-up's full potential, because I've still yet to master all I can with the basics. Sure, I'm good... But I'm only as good as my skills have made me, and I personally feel I have progressed as far and as fast as I did because the controller I got was not overwhelming with features that didn't matter to me as a beginner.

Once I master the basics and max out my abilities with the limitations of my current set-up, I'll know when it's time to upgrade to the NS6 that I now drool over, because it will feel like I've outgrown the glove that seems to fit so well right now. Until then, My $250 Numark Mixtrack Pro is perfect for my current venture.

my $0.02, since the OP's story seems to be identical to how mine starts.
