Hey all, I’m finally breaking into DJing after being an addict for Dance and Electronic for years. I’ve nearly got enough cash to throw at the CDJ-1000MK3, a DJ staple for apparently great quality and performance, but I’m really lost at what direction to take afterwards. What other equipment should I go for afterwards? And especially how should I break into my turntable?

Do you already have a mixer lined up? If not, maybe save some cash by going with the 800MK-2 and invest the rest in a decent mixer (DJM-400?). As for what to do afterwards, start practicing. Not sure what you know already, but it takes a little while to learn the fundamentals: beatmatching, EQing your mixes etc. Dont cheat and use the BPM displayed on your CDJ’s either, use your ears to get a feel for matching tempos. It might be kinda frustrating, but after a while it will be automatic and your mixes will sound great. Invest in some quality DJ headphones too, 150-200 dollars should get you a nice pair (Denon DN-HP1000s. are a good place to start). Thats some vague stuff, but hopefully it helps, if you have any more specific questions shoot me an email. Enjoy the new stuff!
