Getting my first real deck

**Vasilicov** · 08-04-2012, 08:31 PM

When I get back from Afganistan, I plan on spending a good chunk of my change on my new deck which will include:

2 pioneer dvj 1000's
1 djm 850 4 channel mixer
1 mac pro laptop loaded with Traktor Pro

I already have my jbl speaker and headphones when I get home.

My question is what does everyone think about the setup, and if any suggestions or improvements do you think can be made?

Why DVJs? Are you planning on spinning video?

My guess is that he means Pioneer CDJ 1000s.

If you want to go video mixing, scrap the DVJs and get a SSL video instead.

I don't plan on going the video route. But if I do, what is an SSL?

yea DVJs are pretty much dead now....SSL stand for Serato Scratch Live. How about you tell us what you are looking to do and how much you want to spend. If you are thinking DVJs and a DJM-850 you have at least a few grand to spend.
