I have a fresh requisition form in front of me for work and about 500 quid to spend.
What do you think i should get?
please keep sugestions within these boundaries...
DJ tech (bear in mind we already have 1210s, PCV275, BOSS505, Final Scratch)
Useful things to help teach DJ.
Programs for the MAc
already have Cubase and Reason.
Scratch vinyl?
BPM calulator - for purely educational purposes - e.g. learning to gauge BPM?
ableton :?:
or maybe a little pa system, i know the college i worked at had one, helped people learn to play at higher volumes and get used to club environments, was also used on road shows, commnuity events etc.
Scratch Vinyl already on the list...Quote:

There's a video of James Zabielia doing his thing on an EFX-500 and a couple of techy CD players that could be worth a look...what he can do on those things is pretty inspiring, and a large step beyond just beatmixing, yet not as involved as ableton (which might be overcomplication for some).
