Given all the very good and correct advice throughout this article and this comment section, remember:
* The internet loves perfect
* You don't need perfect
* Imperfect is better than nothing, use what you can get
* You can always get another set of decks/mixer/etc later on
In other words, be pragmatic, buy smart but don't fall for the hype. I wish we could all have Technics 1200's too, but we can't. You'll have endless fun learning to mix on a budget pair of Stanton belt drives, and you'll probably eventually learn why people hate on belt drives, but you'll probably take a while to progress far enough in the hobby for that to actually matter.
- bionsystem 4y agoI bought a pair of Numark TT 200 (the low end for DJing), both 2nd hand, a set for traktor also 2nd hand, and a numark pro smx that was new but during a shop liquidation. Total was below 1000€ and I had many months of fun. Unfortunately there is not so much room for me to play in my condo now and the walls don't have great isolation so they are stored but last time I checked they work pretty much like new. Especially the SMX is incredible and will probably last my entire life.
- ehnto 4y agoI bought a Traktor Kontrol S2 and play with headphones in my current house for similar reasons. It's great because it doesn't take up much space, and it lets me scratch that itch every now and then. It just means I can't touch my record collection so I don't have my whole library at hand.
