I have always advocated for beginners to get the absolute best gear they can. If you buy cheap because you’re a beginner you will always end up spending more money in the end.
But I also think beginners need to grow into their equipment and find their likes and dislikes. It’s unlike how you and I came up with turntables, mixer, no effects. Not much varied even when CD players showed up. The choices these days are immense. I think you need to feel around and see what you like. No reason to spend a thousand dollars (Z2) when you can spend 200 (X1).
wait wait wait wait…
for arguments sake can we get a list of the mixers and controllers you have gone through Mr. JoJo? 
x1 is a nice mixer i never got to play with one in person but i looked at them online. thats a good deal i’ma go see if thats the brand new price ( $ 200.00 )
You talking about the numark x1? Looks like that one is discontinued.
The dm950 is a two channel mixer by numark priced at 100.00 thats not bad at all.
I should pick that up.
kontrol x1. I paid 125 shipped for mine. I also went with a physical mixer, xone 22 and an Audio2DJ. Still less than 500 bucks for a full working setup minus a laptop.
Yep a second hand Kontrol X1 and a decent cheap 2 channel mixer like a Xone 22 or a NUO 2 is great for a beginner or anyone who just wants to do two track mixing (majority of people). To be honest a mixer is a mixer especially if you’re just using it in your bedroom through cheap speakers.
If beatmatching was the most important skill the sync button would have us all out of a job.
Did anyone say “beat matching” as the most important skill?
Throughout the thread yeah, there was a couple of people.
NOPE
I looked…(other than Cold Fuzion)…
Well that’s not nobody then is it?
EDIT: It was only one… Still. Not nobody
2 x1’s, a mixer and a 40oz
40oz of? Ever had Old Enlgish? or Crazy Horse?

Come on guys…
You could of atleast changed the punctuation. You changed it from a question to a statement.
Sorry, I’m not quite as pedantic as you seem to be. I’ll make sure I do a better job next time…
This is the big leagues son. Proper punctuation and grammar ain’t to be fucked with.
Duly noted. We should probably end this thread hijack. 
…
lol
while i’m away all this nonsense. Good job guys! 
Owel i don’t mind.
Alright so native instruments x1 and a cheap 2 channel mixer. Sweet i’ll save some cash aside for these puppies.
Edit:
Whats a good 2 channel mixer? The numark 2 channel mixer or should I chose another brand? I will go research and ask your guys opinions since all of you have played around with many mixers. I’ve only used NI products. Not a big fan of the cheap plastic feel.
I really like this mixer. Looks sturdy and built well anyone had personal experience with this brand?
Behringer NOX404 Premium 2 Channel DJ Mixer. Priced at 200.00
