mixing decks

[jackbroadbent]

Hi i am wondering if any1 knows where or has any cheap mixing decks

[Rob.]

In the relevant section of the forums I'm sure you'll find someone who does. There is a specific bit relating to hi-fi and stuff. Or you could try EBay.

Do you mean mixing desk? Or are you trying to find a couple of Technics 1210's? Or do you want a pair of CD players? You should be in the Music or Hi-Fi forum!

Don't mix decks Ya hear!
You've got to realise there's a diffence between a boiler deck and a poop deck.

im just starting so i dont want something to expensive or too complicated to use

Buy a pair of secondhand SL1200/1210's. Couldn't be easier to use and you can re-sell them at little loss if you decide turntablism isn't for you.

Starting what? to DJ?

I have just started getting back into it. So decided to just get a midi controller and mix WAVs (or MP3s if your not bothered by quality)

Or if you are a vinyl purist then may as well get 1210s. Mixer is more down to personal preference just a basic 2 channel with Eqs is all you need. A good quality one is worthwhile such as Allen & Heath. But for starting off any old Vestax, Numark or even Behringer(although less renouned for their quality)

CDs is possible, but more expensive as may as well get the "turntable-like" Pioneer CDJ.

If you want to scratch, you need a decent direct drive (as apposed to belt drive). 2nd hand Technics are the safest option.
