CDJ's are great, and that price is wicked. Controllers like the mixtrack pro 1 are a great cheap way to get started though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 $850 for a cdj setup is cheap. My only real beef with the 350s is he screen is quite small to browse when using USB. You only get 1 line at a time showing up which makes it slow to browse through playlists. However it's fine to use CDs, especially when starting out. Also remember you'll need to factor some headphones and speakers into your budget. Have you thought about what headphones you want? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlax Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 I haven't looked at headphones yet, I already have a pair of beats which I was planning to use to start with as for speakers I am set for the moment as I have three sound systems in the house which I am able to choose from...

ethanmansfield Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 i wouldnt say that it matters that the 1000's are out of date they are much better experience for the club scene i remember wanting to get cdj 350's for my first set up i ended up with traktor s4's and now with pioneer 800 set up i can say get something that takes cds so in your case yes the 350's do have cd players and is a good setup for a good price i think you should go for that as $800 is a great price for a first setup. just another suggestion though im not to sure about these but there is no harm in taking a look http://www.jbhifi.com.au/pro-dj/pioneer ... ku-999991/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
