Likewise, rated it.

 

All these press play cunts today should take note.

Vinyls are back!

 

I started mixing again last year and I would only ever have vinyls again for decoration, I have spent waaaay to much time and effort lugging around cases and bags filled with Vinyls, there is just no space for them man it's actual hard work in 2016.

XDJ-RX actually turned out to be the best bit of DJ gear I've ever picked up, can fully see why they're always sold out. Feels no different to a pair of 2000s/XDJ100s and price is ridiculous in comparison but it's so fucking convenient.

 

 

Wasn't worthy of making a new thread but I'm gearing up to sell this in a month or so if anyones interested, served me so fucking well, I've actually somehow ended up doing a show on Capital FM with Ministry (yup national radio ting) and will be looking to cop a fancy new NXS2 setup

congrats on the show 

[Mic Man]

Looking to get something in September, going back to radio and the CD thing seems dated  

I was going to buy a laptop for around £200 from e buyers http://www.ebuyer.com/725713-hp-255-g4-laptop-n0z75ea-abu

Looking at these controllers is this worth it? anything you can recommend ?

For my mixes should I just use PC DJ or invest in something like Traktor pro

 

anyone else with suggestions? time to jump into the 21st century 

[Kim]

i have a numark mixtrack pro 3 best budget one around 160 

cant beat it for price 

Thing is u have to buy serato software or use the trail version which is sheg

 either way thats the only downside

I'm a turntable guy dude.

 

However, I bought my younger bro the Mixtrack Pro mk 2 a couple years ago and he loves it. Would recommend. You get Serato Dj Lite with it too.

 

Those Pioneers are supposed to be really good (They should have all the functions of the CDJ but within a controller) and the que functions should be sick.

 

Word of advise, if you want to use Serato/Tracktor, please buy a PC with a SSD hard drive as it should reduce any lag and loading issues. If you have a dual hard drive laptop, try to get one with at least one SSD and install the software on the SSD, the music can be installed on another drive.

 

I need to replace both hard drives on my laptop to bigger SSDs tbh.

[The Somalian]

Thanks for the advice

VINYL ONLY BRAH

[The Somalian]

Yeah @FA23 you know what I am after. I don't necessary want a laptop I thought it was something that I would need . Main thing I want is to be able to do is play my  music, jingles, etc for my jingles atm I have them on cd which is pretty lame.

 

What would you suggest for around the £800 ? Im looking at the RX is it big @Barney Stinson? because I want to be able to carry it with me to radio. I see springy p come radio using a controller and laptop and seen Vectra use just a laptop. Sorry I am a relic when it comes to embracing new tech (wont even tell you when I first got a smart phone) I am in the dark of what I need I know what I want=  something I can sort out my play my music easy to travel with, not essential but I would like something that can also play jingles.

 

@Niall Ferguson trying to move with the times

[The Somalian]

that's sick so you recommend spending the extra £300 on it?

Going to give them a call see if I can split the payment up over two months.

 

Any links for a cheaper place to purchase?

[Seth Rollins]

I'm still on my Numark NS6 however it's too big to carry around for radio every week so I'm looking at getting the Pioneer DDJ-SB2. Issue I have is as stated above, with the NS6 and Rane 3 I have Serato DJ Free. With the SB2 I'd have to purchase Serato DJ as Intro is sh*t.

Forget CD. You have to have a controller now in 2016. For basic and carrying to radio invest in a Pioneer SB2 in my opinion. Can pick them up 2nd hand for AROUND £120-£150 OR BRAND NEW £170-£200. With your radio shows as people are sending you music, can't be burning CD's now. Strictly e-mail and laptop.

The expensive ones look good Marcus BUT to carry that on road to radio EVERY WEEK is long. I'm looking at replacing my NS6 with that Pioneer one posted above, but to carry to radio every week (I have 2 shows) I can't be lumbering around an NS6.

Arent stations rolling with pioneer cdjs with rekordbox these days anyway?

[The Somalian]

Yeah respect Goliath my brother was saying the exact same thing as you about taking it only for radio and it cost so much, so going to buy the SB2

cheapest SSD laptop I could find (literally only using it for storing music)  http://www.ebuyer.com/727187-lenovo-essential-b50-10-laptop-80qr0016uk 

 

The DJ RX just sick been watching videos the past hour

 

depends on the stations out of all the stations I have been to recently Radar have had the best set up by far. Havent been to my station since March but they had only just started putting in USB decks last time I was there.

 

Thabk you everyone for all the advice, I found it very helpful and you guys saved me allot of time sharing your own expertise and experiences which I am grateful for.

 

Thank You

[Da Luv Doc]

Laptops with a vinyl emulator are a life saver tbh, be in turntables, CDJs or controller.

 

Serato is so sick, if I wanted to use my brothers gear I wouldn't have to worry about the crate set up or que points.

 

Obviously the instant ability to play an mp3 from an e-mail or download a tune and play it straight away is epic!

 

Just ensure you have a SSD built in laptop.
