Hi, I was posting some months ago asking questions about how to start out and what gear everyone reccomended. Maybe 5 months has passed since this time, and still I have made no in roads to obtaining a controller. My problem is you see, i am driven crazy by choice, By that I mean, I find it hard to select one controller. This problem when trying to choose somthing extends to other areas in my life, For example, I hate opening a menu in a resturant that has a wide selection of food, I will usually shut the menu and order somthing I see someone else eating. Or the fact that i have spent up to an hour going over toothbrushes in the supermarket..
Initially people advised me to get the VC1-100, but I was reluctant, and was persistant in my search for another controller, First came the Xone 4d stage, then came the SCS series, Then there was the Kontrol 1, Fader fox, Cdj 400's This constant changing Of ideas has left me with nothing and everyday is another day wasted that I will be wishing I had started to learn how to DJ. Just yesterday I was reading about the new xone DX, Immediatly I decided it was for me, I began calling suppliers and asking about first shipment, It would appear that none will be ready untill mid december. I was dissapointed and initially found myself thinking that I could wait. However, I know myself, It would just end up being another phase, then there would be a period were I had another distraction in my life and my DJ aspirations would be put on the backburner... Only for me at a lter date to be Disspointed.
Knowing that The xone 4d's had problems I started to think, why do I want this controller? I had to be honest with myself, Its because it looks good.. What are the pro's and Con's...
Pro's - it looks good.
Cons - Expensive, Untested.
Why dont I wait some time, Maybe the price will come down and after some time it will prove itself as others test it with traktor... F%&k it, I need a controller of quality and I need it ASAP.
Now Im begining to think rationally, So this leaves me where?? Still I have no controller... And then I just gave in, Im going to order A VC1-100SE. The same controller recommended to me 5 months ago, already im feeling a step in the right direction.
This leads me to my Question. Where I live (Bali) I havnt access to a DJ store, for this reason I have to order from overseas, I will be getting my SE from DJTT. Can Anyone reccomend to me some basic equipment I will find myself Needing to be able to plug and play.
Already I know I will order a 2 channel soundcard, Besides for the obvious such as headphones,are there things that wont be included with the SE that I will need. e.g, cables, leads etc.
Thanks
Julian
