just got an idea

I'm going to make my own special effects/waveform video for Self Destruct

this'll be fun B)

Ok I'm thinking of saving up for some pioneers since they seem to be the industry standard. Do you guys have any recommendations?


I'm stupid. I was talking about a pair of turntables

I'm still over here.. alone in the corner... listening to my happy hardcore..

2 FAST MY HEAD CANT KEEP UP WITH IT
SERIOUSLY I THINK THE BEATS 2 SECODNS AFTER aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaa

I own pioneer turntables. They're good. They're expensive. What's your budget? The CDJ-2000 Nexus players are super nice but they're also $2,400 a pop. CDJ-950s are acceptable replacements, for $1,600 a pop. These are practically a steal. Like, ridiculous. Get those if you can. They're literally the best offer I've ever seen. I'm upset I didn't wait until that offer came around.

You'll need a mixer too, I honestly recommend the DJM-900 Nexus. It's way better than the 2000 and it's way cheaper too. But, it's $2,300. The cheapest you can go is the DJM-250 which is $400. It's stuff. Just telling you. It doesn't even have effects. You'll need the EFX-1000 for another $1,125 if you get that. The DJM-350 is the cheapest with effects, it's $750. So if you go mega cheap with that and get the loving AMAZING offer for the mixers, that puts your total at:

$1,650. That's a bit steep, especially for people who don't have jobs. Otherwise, if you go top notch, your grand total is:

$7,100 with 2x CDJ-2000n and DJM-900n

Your other option, which is the route I chose, is to get the XDJ-Aero for $1,200 on Amazon. It doesn't let you play CDs, you have to stream the music to it through your computer or smartphone. However, it has a pretty good effects range and a lot of features that are nice and it's cheaper than the parts separate. It's your call.

what
Ah sorry, I rushed to put out a review. Careless mistake of me. I forgot that most EDM artists do not sing...

Please excuse me

I'll have to go with this. I simply can't afford 8000 dollars worth of equipment. I have a good 700-800 dollars already so it shouldn't be long

Do you guys ever have the problem where you want to produce but you can't really get into it at that moment? How do I deal with this?
