Pioneer CD Decks 800s vs 1000s.

Ive got a laptop, Xone 3d, Ableton Live 6, 1210's and a punchy as fuck sound system.

I like to have everything and the only thing im missing are some cool as fuck Pioneer CDJ 1000 mk3's.

Mixing between the lot of it will be class, im on a mission to turn a bedroom into the best DJ box in chester le street.

Another idea i have is to have a plasma wired up to the computer so i can have ableton running on that straight in front my face.

talk about overkill

on a side note, ive heard a fair few people say they prefer the Mk2 to the Mk3 CDJs

exactly!

CDJ's are well overpriced imo

I like using them but what you can get for the same money is ridiculous!

So are decks, laptops and just about every other bit of djing equipment. If youve got the money and dont mind paying those ridiculous prices whats the problem?

you answered your own question there mate

You can tell youve not got a bird. I've been with mine for 5 years and I swear i lose one bit of kit every year.

Gone are the days of 2 decks, 2 cdjs, EFX, Cycloops and fat mixer

Ive had g/f's whilst ive been buying all this stuff. I just dont give them half my wages and let them bleed me dry!

The day i find a girl that i put before all things music related is the day ive found my future wife!

But thats a long, long way away yet.

were you inspired by me tv to pc setup like ?

there's currently MASSIVE legal wranglings at the moment in the House of Science about whether the 'decks room' should be some sort of laundry room afterall, stacking up PILES of washing is a much better use of space?!?!?!?? NNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!

it's doesn't take up much room >>>>>

purpose built desk now you see - i'm currently winning - and will be for the foreseable future

dodgy post - whats up with the board lately...

My days of rocking places with my awesome prog sounds are over

BASICALLY my hand was partially forced....

Vinyl was dying....not long beforehand I would have discussions on various DJ sites (which no longer run as it happens) and there was always fierce arguments as to the future of Vinyl.

Ultimately the CDJ became the toy to have....record sections were getting smaller, record shops closed, MP3 sites boomed

Decided that enough was enough - couldn't afford the CDJs and the cost of vinyl was like £8 - £10 for the tunes I wanted.....and investing that heavily i a quickly declining format wasn't sensible

So I sold up while I still could, and got a lot back for my gear...then sold all my records to a mate.

Perhaps one day I'll take it up again. Been about 20 months since I sold up.

I'm a wasted talent

if i had the money ta time i might have got 1000 but they are expensivve for whatb they are but the 800mk2 are massive improvement onthe mk 1 tho imo

Been having a mix tonight on the 800's and imo they are no match on the 1000'...
