Would like to get into mixing during lockdown.
Anyone recommend any half decent cdj's for a beginner nothing too expensive.

For real though it depends on the feature set.

If you don't mind using Rekordbox and USB the XDJ-700 is the place to start. Go up from there based on budget and features.
Also I'm guessing you need a mixer

Anything DJM 250MK2 and up is good. Maybe avoid the 350 as it?s over a decade old. But it does have built-in USB recording. And colour effects. :) |

Nice one mate, thanks...
I'll check it out.
Just had a look for some second hand...all averaging a grand for a pioneer set up! Lol madness |

Your talking to the person with an ?8,000 Pioneer DJ setup lol. :) |

What is your setup @musicilove? I've just bought a 900NXS2 for a lot of money 2nd hand and I think it's well worth it. I've had my cdj2000s for ten year or so now with no fault |

I've heard pretty good things about the pioneer ddj-400. I personally use DVS with traktor but I think turntables and cdj's are a bit pricey to start off with. I also have a pioneer wego but feature-wise the ddj-400 seems a bit more solid. Plenty of track-switching power! :) |

The gemini cdj 700's are a good budget cdj if you're looking for something cheaper. |

I upgraded my set up last year and have my old pioneer CDJ?s 800 mk2 and pioneer djm 600 mixer just gathering dust, also have a pair of Gemini pt 2000 turntables.
If you are after a controller and to use usb rather than cd then these won?t be any use for you but if you are interested let me know and I will get a price for recorded delivery aswell for you. The cdjs and pioneer mixer have been well looked after. |
