Just go proper and avoid battlestar galactica console controllers which are overly complicated and feature rich not to mention expensive and prone to eventually becoming an unsupported boat anchor.
Yes they look cool and can Bluetooth and load mp3 / wavs but it’s like buying and automatic car.
Buy used... plenty gear out there as people offloading usually... 2 Technics 1200/1210 mkii, a Rane mixer like a Sixty Two as cheap and built well and for both mixing and proper battle stuff, a used Serato SL2 setup.
Buy new... a set of fresh JICO N44-7 carts, or Ortofons, and some fresh Serato vinyl, and some butter rugs.
As far as music I’ve been buying new tunes in mp3 wav since forever to grow my collection - so lots of great sites to collect tunes like Beatport, Bandcamp, Apple Music, etc. That has always been the fun part!
Godspeed.
- If u don’t mind huge powered party monitors you can go with Mackie SRM’s? Or smaller and elegant you can get 8” KRK’s or Focals etcprophetone
- Good post thanks prophetYakuZoku
- How snobby am I, I meant to say go classic... not ‘proper’ lol... just personal opinion, in end is more fun than pushing buttons?prophetone
