Denon MC3000 OR Numark N4 are my choices under £300 what do you guys think? N4 is better suited to me because of the standalone mixer capability.

Thanks for the feedback, How I like the sound of 4 decks I don’t think I will use these that much.. I just like to mix tracks but can see in the future how 4 can be useful, any more suggestions on controllers I can look at both 2 and 4 deck based limit around £350!

I have a list of ones I’ve found that are an improvement on my current controller and what I feel could get me going for a year or maybe 2 please let me know what you guys think about these controllers!

Stanton DJC.4 – Considering
Reloop Jockey 2 – Don’t know
Denon MC3000 – Not sure, more traktor havent tried it yet..
American Audio VMS4.1 – Very interested, considering

So far N4 still preferred choice.. please any help is appreciated!

Thanks

Thanks again guys this community is awesome at advice, Okay slight problem with my paypal limit so will have to ring them or wait to june so it resets as I can’t buy the TM4 on Ebay with pay pal as I’m near my limit :/ The TM4 is a great shout same layout as the TM2 with just a few extra buttons I think? For Around £350 it packs a load of punch for the money and features that will keep me amazed for a good few years (LETS HOPE!) This is great to develop and learn more on it seems so will be perfect, only thing now is to get my pay pal sorted buy it when I have the cash and then learn serato and if its not for me then VDJ will do nicely..

Thanks guys, I don’t fancy buying a mixtrack and learning on it as I want to make a bold step up, learn it well then hit the bars and pubs for gigs you see, I cant really develop my skills and move on with my Hercules E2 as its only decent for small house parties..

I was going to say should I look at the Denon’s for around £300 the Mc400 is in my price range I believe also any other controllers you guys can suggest, but so far Mixtrack pro 2 is not my preferred choice its now the Terminal
Mix 2!

Any other suggestions?

Thanks for the Story aha! Very informative and much needed for a novice like myself. Okay so the Ibiza set is 2 300w 8″ speakers with a 800w subwoofer for just short of £285 it seems the best option for myself without going and getting an amp then a set of speakers for around the same price, or is it? This is the Ibiza set could you take a look and tell me if its any good for doing small gigs while I’m getting known – as your more knowledgeable about this topic than myself aha! – http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150984224176?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

As it goes for the cables I will order up a few of those then and a RCA to XLR cable just in case I need to connect up to bars Pa as you previously said. Again thanks for your help you are giving me no end of great knowledge! – You got to start somewhere right!

Thanks for your advice, to be able to do this I am upgrading controller to the numark mixtrack pro 2 with the inbuilt headphone jack and output then sorting the settings out on the serato software it comes with as this is only an issue because I have a very limited setup. When I do eventually get the Mixtrack pro2 what cables will I need for output to my speakers? Thanks for all your help so far has cleared a few things up 🙂

I had one, there cheap and fall apart :/ Would a splitter cable with the right configuration in the settings work? I can always play around for a few hours to get this correct as I need this spot on for gigs!

One is for my headphones and the other is for my speakers, but it doesnt want to split the signal it seems to be the same when I use the the headphones button or crossfader..
