i had a go on my mates 800's in a bar up town back in august and liked it so thought id get some quick, before pioneer put the price up to £899 per deck! so got them at the old price, with the mixer i got a really good deal i think
just gonna practice + enjoy really, see where it takes me! hopefully if i progress i may get a slot on kratyradio.com once a week or something and go from there..

cheers man, was unsure what to go for 2ch/4ch wise but then decided 2ch made sense and the djm is built like a brick, effects, in-loop sampler + fader starts coz its all pioneer kit

Looks like a nice setup mate. I've just dusted down the old Hip Hop Vinyl and fancy myself some nice new SL 1210's or a set of Vestax PDX3000's

no, you use decks still, just a hard drive to mass store tracks

Like the ipod mixing thingy.
Would prefer mp3s on CD though, so i think he's made the right choice.
More flexibility and you can fit 200 mp3s on a disc at decent quality still

I did a college course and learned from a guy who did hip hop. Was quite fun learning how to scratch and put that into dance music!
I sold my record decks a few summers ago, I'd quite like to get back into it!
