DJ's... Where are we going next?

[Flip]

Ok, so I'm trying to decide where to go next with my equipment. I want to be able to spin my mp3's but theres so many options.

Heres what I consider my options:

1) Buy 2 CDJ1000's - $2000.00
This is what i really want since it's the club standard and I need to learn them well anyway, but theyre expensive as hell...
2) Buy Final Scratch 2 - $400.00
This would allow me to spin my mp3's with my laptop through vinyl since i already have turntables. One of my turntables is actually broken so i do have to buy another one anywho ($350ish). This is decent since it would allow me to scratch...
3) Buy 2CJD200's - $700.00
This is an ok option since i would get 2 actual cd turntables, they aren't the best on features and they don't allow you to scratch...

So yeah, any other dj's out there have any input? I've been strictly vinyl and finalscratch up until now so...

Yah, thats kinda the direction i'm leanin. I might just get my turbtable fixed or get a new one which i need to do anyway, pick up final scratch 2 then save for the cdj1000 mk3's. That way i'll be able to spin my mp3's and not have to dish out $$$ on vinyl and then still get the mk3's later...

MP3's is a big thing for me so I'll have to pass on those, but thanks tho.

^^ agreed

Heres my setup:

1210's, cheap pioneer mixer, compaq laptop, and serato

No need to burn CD's

I say get both...cd turntables and vinyl turntables..you get the best of both worlds..I will never give up vinyl but there are some tracks you can't get on vinyl so that's why i got the cd's


My current setup: 2 Denon DN5000's <----with these you can play mp3's.wav or almost any ohter type music file...they also allow you to play TWO tracks on one turntable at the same time.also has built in fx's..oh yeah on these you can scratch...and it has a plate where u can put 45 record on to get that real feel of vinyl

2 technic 1210's <-----my babies

Mixer: pioneer djm 600 a five channel mixer

if you are on a budget then option 2 seems to be the best one other than that if there is no limit then choice 1 it is.. and 3 No cause scratching is necessary..
