    Terminal Mix 8
    Keep your headphones or upgrade to Beats Mixr
    KRK Rockit 6 speakers + pair of sound isolating pads to stand them on

    You should have money to spare…

    Then why did you say you were looking for an upgrade? Going from a controller to CDJs is a downgrade. Seriously.

    And finding a club compatible setup that is RekordBox ready for 1200 GBP or under? I wish you good luck with that.

    And remember, it’s not the gear that makes “Da DJ”.

    You’d have to specify what is limiting at the moment. If you can’t, there’s probably no need to upgrade your gear.

    Well, the pitchfader issues can usually be changed in the DJ software. You can normally set various ranges like 4, 6, 8, 10, 16, 32, 100% (Mixvibes Cross, not sure what the exact number are for Serator/VDJ/Traktor, but something similar).

    That gives you a lot more options than CDJs would, btw. Those have only 3 or 4 ranges if memory serves me right.

    I can see how you have outgrown your MTP2, it’s a beginners controller after all. I could do a pro gig with it, if need be, but I wouldn’t pick it as my primary tool. But with a 1000GBP budget you should be able to get yourself something much more serious (say DDJ-SX, MC6000mk2, Terminal Mix 8 as has been suggested already) that will help you make a big step in your DJ-ing.

    If you are set on club-ready gear, there is not much we can tell you. It’s either new Pioneer stuff (2x CDJ-2000nexus with DJM900nexus) which at over 5.000 is not gonna fit in your budget regardless of the shoehorn you use or used Pioneer gear which, if you want RekordBox-ready gear is still gonna be at least twice the budget you mentioned. Any non-Pioneer gear is not RekordBox compatible, so of no use (not to mention the quality will be a LOT less than the Pioneers, like budget gear).
    And that’s without a set of speakers.

    As the pressure doesn’t seem to be too high, people answered your post late October and you never reacted til now, and since bumping a post is against forum rules, I am gonna close this topic now.
