Hey there, i've been an avid reader of the forums and thought it would be time to actually dig into DJ'ing and fulfil my passion. I'm an A Level student studying Music Technology and therefore find music at the pinnacle of what I do (hoping to find a career in the music production side in the near future). Within my corse I mainly produce music, but now I want to mix.
At house parties I go to I normally offer/get asked to do the music, and to be honest, it's great fun - but here's the problem.
When I do the music I run it from a 2011 Macbook Pro, and two average joe speakers, I simply have a basic DJ program and run them through that with little to no mixing. It's pretty much plug in and play, but the range of music I have is quite good.
I'm after a CDJ setup that will keep me going for a while, not just through my beginner days, i'll obviously expand my set up as time comes with better speakers/subs etc, but for now, i'm interested in what I could get for $900. Including 2CDJ's and a mixer.
Something that works best with a MacBook will be great as I have a 1TB hard drive with all my music on that links to the mac.
