need help: cdj-100 or cdj-800

You cannot copare the CDJ-100s (cheapest, least features) with the CDJ-800-MK2 (which is a model far above the average).

so in this coparisson, the CDJ-800 is the best player... but it costs the ost.

DJM-400 is a very nice mixer with lots of features. Pleasure garanteed :D

PMC-05 is also a very nice mixer, but it stops at mixing, whilde the DJM offers some very nice effects and sample banks.

Indeed, the DJM 400 is a perfect mixer. Ideal for home use. Or small party's somewere.

The best player for you to begin is the CDJ 100. The 800 is great, but not when you begin. First you have to start learning the dj basics. Beatmatching, working with equalizers, be known with dj equipment. So to start maybe you can begin with (this is my opinion)=

Second hand gear. Be sure when you buy it, that it is okey. Test it before you buy it.

You can look for the Pioneer:
Cd-player: 2x CDJ 100s
Mixer: DJM 300

Nice set to begin with, and learn the Dj Basics. It's very nice to let others see what kind of equipment you have. The cdj 800 is very nice, but it's to expensive to begin with.

Otherwise when you want another mixer, you should try the DJM 400. My mixer is also the DJM 400 and it's Perfect, just as the DJM 300. But the DJM 400 has more functions. That's the difference. As beginner you don't need them.

ahhhhhhhh ty ^_^ i think like u said ill start with the 100s and the DJM 400 if thats good ? idk if looked alot of the gear but idk what to get to start out  see the reason y i wanted the 800s is because you could scratch with them and they were cheaper then the 1000s but i guess ive heard they were kind of easy to use so

If you want to scratch, you should go for cdj-800, if this is within the budget

lol i want the scratch but i wanna get something to start out for some 1 new like the cdj-100s and DJM-400 i just want something that will b good for me to start out at DJing

ahhhhhhh thank you very much im looking to play hardstyle,happyhardcore,trance stuff like that so ill look into getting the 100s

Good luck with buying. I'm sure this is the best player for you to begin with.

Greetz,

have you already taken a look @ the cdj 200...I have this player and it's just a very good cd player and it isn't very expensive...it is the new generation of the cdj 100..it also have some more effects then the cdj 100...you can buy a djm 400 to make this set complete(thats what i've done)..I also mix hardstyle and it's just a pleasure to mix with these players...so think about it:P

gr

ok see the only thign is that my friend has the 200s and hes very picky about copy stuff so i think ill stick with the 100s. i just want something kind of basic to start out and just work my way up. also thank you illusion (greetz) ^_^

it's touch to DJ without scratching, so forget about da CDJ200


CDJ1000 mk3 is da legend

Well the CDJ-1000mk3 is the new Industry Standard.. and it might be a Legend..
its olso a "Legend" of a Price!
and starting dj's just can't afford it..

if you want real Vinyl feel as a Beginner,, Buy a Turntable..
dont want to buy Vinyls..
buy a Cdj-800mk2..
the cdj-100s / cdj-200 are really nice players..
but just dont have those Big features..

save a Lil' more money.. and Go for 2 Cdj-800mk2's ..
then you wil have something to carry you long enough..

my first cd players were the CDJ-100s,,
at that time their wasnt anything as Scratchin with CD's..
Vinyl whas "THE" Thing to have!..
these days the CD is takin over most of vinyl work..
so the cdj-800 wil be a Very Very nice player to have..
its a Digital  Cd Turntable..  with a touch of Vinyl to the usage.. and you cant say that about the cdj-100s or cdj-200 

Gr. laidback

nah im gunna stick with the cdj100s cuz i just want something that will last for me for a little wile start out at home getting usto useing them and learning how to mix then slowly get out  to the public and when i get more known how DJing works then ill upgrade to the 800s i mean ya i want to be able to scratch but im ugnna wait a wile on that i wanna learn the basics so ya im gunna stick with the 100s and DJM 400 and thank you so much guy for all your help and thoughts (very apreciated)
