Rob writes, "I'm about to start hosting a DJ night and am trying to figure out what kind of setup to use.

Our resident DJ, AppJudgment's Maurico Balvanera has the gear to get would be DJs up and running, from $10 to $500!

did anyone get sound drifting from ear to ear in this video

[traktorpro10]

Traktor Kontrol S2 now $399, down from $599, best 2-channel controller imho.

NUMARK MIXTRACK PRO CHEAPISH AND GREAT TO USE

[TheZobot1]

love the intro!

[EuroHEV]

Hercules DJ Console RMX is something around 250$ and it is really well made. No cheap plastic here! :)

[tntgamerdotnl]

Featured here. I would say 300$ for behringer bcd3000 and tweakelizer together. Good luck mate

[tntgamerdotnl]

Dont forget the behringer 3000. Awesome midi controller. Maybe a behringer tweakelizer for some effects is also great and not that expensive compared to the controller fr

[yumyumrazon]

Here are some solutions that ROB can purchase a real dj controller with a built-in soundcard for live music and cueing for under $500.

Vestax Typhoon

Numark Mixtrack Pro

Hercules DJ Console RMX

Hercules DJ Console MK4

M-Audio Torq Xponent

@thetechzonelive As far as Serato Intro and Virtual DJ are concerned, these two would be great starter software for somebody wants to get into digital djing for the first time, most mobile dj's use VDJ, Traktor is more for users who like to customize/improvise.

[SJI10]

@thetechzonelive I personally have the S2 and love Traktor Pro 2 but he doesn't want to beatmatch, use EQ, scratch or do effects/custom mappings so probably a Numark Mixtrack Pro w/serato intro for half the price would be appropriate for his intended use which is still applicable later on if he wants to get into proper djing and just upgrade the software.
