Hi all,

I'd like to teach myself how to DJ, and my eventual goal is to
hopefully become a professional club DJ.

So I'm researching if there is at present a CD-player model that can
be considered the "standard" DJ tool to be found in every disco (like
the Technics SL-1200 used to be for vinyl).

Looking forward to reading your replies!

TIA,
Andrew

Can't believe no one knows this...

Still looking forward to your replies!

industry standard are pioneer cdj 1000 but will set u back a lot of money .
However there are cheaper alternatives by kam,gemini,numark,stanton etc why
dont u just source one on line via google or ebay buy a cheap pair to start
with and see how u get on .

Thank you, pied piper. I did some research starting from your
pointers, and it really looks like most clubs are using the CDJ-1000
and nothing else, so I guess I'll have to learn to work on that model.

It certainly costs a lot. Perhaps I could save a bit by getting just one
and buying a cheaper model as my second deck, like the CDJ-800 or
maybe one of the Denons. Or is it a bad idea to have unmatched players?

Cheers,
Andrew
