Amazing deal?
MAJOR GAS here…
I can get 2 CDJ 400’s and a DJM 400.. a year and a half old, in flight case, for my DDJ-s1.. take it?
Let me know guys?
CDJ-400’s are worth about $350 each, and the DJM-400 is worth about $275. Pretty even trade really.
I’d probably take the controller over the CDJs.
- I’d just use MP3s anyway
- Traktor/other software gives you more control and better visuals
- CDJ are bulky
you’d need a serato interface if you traded for the cdj’s.. another expense right there..
i’d take the cdjs, it’s not like a single person not have been pleased with the 400-set.
Sometimes it might be good to have the flexibility to play cd’s.
In sweden a 400 set is worth more than a ddj-s1, due to s1 recent price drop.
If the 400 set is in good condition least I would have a go at it.
again this is completely down to personal preference, it depends what you want do do.
Again someone putting a decision in somebody else’s hands without giving them any context.
Doesn’t sound like an amazing deal to me. A fair one but not great.
i´d stay with the ddj-s1 too. like stated above. you´re able to control more thing with your setup right now.
Up to a week ago I would have said keep the s1, but if you have the space for it and don’t mind lugging it around I think I’d go with the CDJ/Mixer setup from a flexibility point of view.
Its an OK deal as poppinjay says .. not amazing, but fair.
Throw the CDJ’s in HID mode for traktor control (if you are thinking of going the traktor route) and IF you could get hold of the X1 deal while they are offering traktor free with it you’d have more controls than you have currently 
stay in the S1
cdj’s in traktor HID aint good - tried and tested, at least not as good as serato HID
and this coming from a Traktor user!
just had really bad experience with cdj400/cdj900 jogwheel response in traktor’s hid mode - its just not right
