That Ecler looks sound . Nice high quality rotary with a useable send/return. Plus you can take the wood paneling off and use as micro cheese boards when your mates a round .

Aesthetics might be wife acceptable too, so I can get me decks into a corner of the living room .

Sasha’s been upgrading his set up too. What’s the middle efx-thing? Slide 3.

Homegrove Looks like a drum machine / synth of some sort by the ‘keyboard notes’ interface.

Where the hell does he need 3 samplers in a DJ set? Is it all for show, or does he actually use them all.

He’s better off using the Maven ffs.

Christ Sasha sets are about as interesting as a Seth Troxler/Darius syrossian set. Why does he even bother?
Spineless, boring fillers in the same rigid format form start to finish. The breaks arent in the slightest bit catchy or interestsing, the 4/4 stuff is masquerading as emotive but its nowhere near as classy or as engaging as the tracks from other labels/artists that they strive to emulate. To think the young brigade think this is the same Sasha that walked on water 20 years ago is mental really

I posted in this thread a few weeks back about my plan to dip my toes in the digital water, and purchase some new DJ equipment. I was looking at some high end stuff such as the Pioneer XZ etc.

I’ve scaled back my plans somewhat as I realised that spending £2-3k on some kit isn’t the greatest idea given that I’ve never used digital before and wouldn’t have the foggiest where to start. Plus I’d only ever be playing as a muck around and not actually out anywhere.

Anyway….I think I’m gonna get the Pioneer DDJ-400. Can get a package for under £500 and a couple of video reviews are quite complementary.

I’ve seen it referenced earlier in this thread but does anyone want to dissuade me? Seems to be a good starting point for me

Homegrove

gcw yeah that sounds good, it should be easy to offload later if you want to upgrade.

What HG said, sorted me for ages and sold instantly on eBay.

It pains me to say it but I think your logic is good (voice on your shoulder: buy an XZ, they sell used for nearly what they cost new 😉 )

Brilliant - cheers lads. Although I did just watch an 11 minute ‘intro’ video on youtube about how to use it and think I was more confused than when I sat my tax exams!

Traktor is inching towards subscription mode now too. 🤦‍♂️

Homegrove Another thing for DJ,'s to moan about.

@Unbroken1
You had a play with the pioneer efx 500 / 1000?

Unbroken1

Mad_Cyril …not really, had an RMX1000 for a bit, fun bit of kit, very user-friendly FX when used at a basic level, and pretty deep if you want to get into the software/programming side of it.

The EFX’s were mega popular, but imagine the audio quality would be pretty ropey by today’s standards…. you wouldn’t want to hook one up to a decent quality analogue mixer, that’s for sure 😉

Looks nice but think I need something a bit more entry level, less fluid, to help me learn.

The Mastersounds efx is great I’m sure but it doesn’t really have the more basic outputs like echos and things, is more like an instrument.

It’s a big learning curve, maybe I need a speak n’ spell 😃
