Should i …

Get a dvs set up ?

I mean i’ve wanted one for quite a while now, but are they worth it ?

only you can decide that mate. If you really want one, and you can afford it, go for it.

Will it make you a better DJ overnight? Probably not.

i’m not too bothered about it making me a better dj.

I just want to know if it’s worth the money because a set of turntables or cdj’s and mixer is expensive and traktor duo or scratch pro isn’t too cheap either.

I got a really good deal on a pair of TTs and it basically spiralled out of control from there. Vinyl feels great. CDJs are pretty nice to play on too. But yes, they’re fiendishly expensive. So like I said before, If you really want one, and you can afford it, go for it.

I think i will :slight_smile: Thanx :slight_smile:

Just need to go on the treasure hunt for money now.

I started on a vestax Spin midi controller. And I thought that was the be-all and end-all of what I would need for Djing. Then I purchased an Allen & Heath xone 22 mixer, and ever since then I’ve never been able to use computer EQs. I got a pair of CDJs and although it took some getting used to, I actually really like the feel of the bigger platters under my hands.

I personally feel like I have more control.

Keep in mind though, I still use my vestax spin for certain events where I don’t/ can’t bring my full setup or there isn’t one provided.

I had cdj 400’s and a behringer djx 700 mixer before i turned to using digital gear. And i’ve used 800’s and 1000’s before , tbh i hated the 400’s for some strange reason i can’t put my finger on, i was happy using 800’s or 1000’s.

And i’ve never used vinyl so i think it would be fun to try m hand at it. I’ll be keeping my X1 for sure anyway.

If you’ve never tried vinyl, it can be a pretty expensive experiment if you don’t really like/get on with it!

what kind of music do u spin

Think about all the wires and cables.

I wouldn’t recommend anyone going to DVS just to try it out.

I started on a Behringer BCD3000, then got a VCI100SE and ended up adding TTs and TSP to it, but then I play hiphop, and really find scratching a lot easier on vinyl …

i recommend to look for fellow djs in your area and see if you can try the gear out before you buy it.

I have a full midi setup, DVS for 1200’s & CDJs. All TBH i prefer to play in DVS, it keeps you busy and make you more versitle in using different types of gear instead of replying on a certain type of controller or software.

When I acquired my first DVS setup (Technics w/ SSL), I had not spun any vinyl for more than a couple minutes. I seriously don’t know how one couldn’t learn/stand DVS and even vinyl. It really is worth it if you don’t move your setup. Cause if you do, it’s a real pain to lug around the whole thing.

I’d say avoid if you move a lot.
