    Default cdjs

    hey guys im looking for some tips on getting into cdjs.. i played a gig at a club last week and i loved the feel of them and how i didn't have to use a laptop at all. plus i want to move into more of a pro set up then using midi controllers.
    i played on pio cdj2000s with the djm 2000 mixer which i understand are the top of the line- but im looking at 1000s or even 950s with the matching mixer. the system is going to stay in the studio since most clubs already have them built in unless i plan to do an event that dosnt have them. my budget is about 3500 for the whole set up
    my questions are
    what do u guys think? are there other set ups i should check out? i would prefer to not spend 3500 but i want something that will last me a while and still not be outdated.. let me know what you guys think and some things i should look into. also if i went with 4 cdj 400s and a djm 900 4 channel mixer woould i still be able to easily transition to a higher level cdj?
    thanks

    For 3500 you could get a top end set up basically..

    You can have any set up you want really, but i would stick to Pioneers top end stuff if you liked the quality and feel for them. But you may have to buy second hand if you were to buy 2 CDJ2000s and a DJM2000 for example..

    i would have no problem buying second hand granted there is a warranty.. but i was looking at getting 4 decks vs just 2.. does it matter if i buy 2 then add 2 more one by one so have 3 running off the mixer.. i wouldn't think so.. is there much difference between the 2000 vs the 1000? i dont need to get 2000s from what ive seen most clubs around here have 1000 or lower i just got lucky since it was a pioneer sponsored club so they had the top stuff but they were super strict about having drinks ect and how many people i could have around me.. 2000$ for one cdj is a bit excessive in my opinion if the 1000s have close to the same feel..

    I agree on the cost of 2ks.. I thought i was crazy buying the cdj900 but the 2k really takes the crazy prize. Its cool and all but jesus christ the price is ridic.

    Good deal! The only thing you might regret later down the line is perhaps if you want a Traktor certified mixer.. Which the 900 is. But choosing the 2000s over the 900s is a good investment.
