Audiotechnica M50 (if you can get them below ~130ish)The shures are my favourite of the bunch. But I haven’t had the chance to listen to the K519DJ’s yet, so I can’t comment apart from the fact that I’ve heard good things about them.
Yes, sorry, I forgot about the Shure. I have listened to them all and I do think they are very good in sound and build quality so I serternly recomend them to in addition to my previous post.

You do realise that the PC doesn’t handle the sound output when you DJ. Controllers and sounds cards have their own DAC. It is this that handles the sound output, not the computer. Hence, the sound is entirely dependant on the bitrate of the song and the controller you’re using.
Now that is not entirely the whole truth.
If you have your SW and Music files in your PC then the PC streams the musicfile to the controller and in some cases it ads rumble and hum in different stages. I had an early controller from a finisc company and my stationary PC worked fine with it but my laptop pc did not. It added static and I tried with an other laptop it also added static so I had to return the unit.
It had 2x built in soundcards and the static came from the VIA interface in the PCs.So interly bullshit it is NOT!!!!

This is getting ridicilous!!!!! Your statement is biased, not based on logic and defies computing logic as the world knows it. I would go far enough to say that your posting shows troll-ish behaviour.
BTW I noticed you havent provided any links to your superior Mac sounding DJ sets – all I see is links to Denon and Apple. Are you an advertiser of those companies?
*lol* You are in fact a funny guy:) but I will try to explain to you:
I wrote ” (another reason to keep to Mac, it just sounds better than PC in my ears it does anyway)”
I do have a PC at home and I have had 8 of them at the same time I have had Macs.
My ears tells me that Mac sounds better and as I wrote it is based on my hearing
you shoul be able to read that IMO!!!I am absoluteley not working for eather Mac or Denon I am just a hugh fan of both those brands and their superior products!

IMO that is not true at all. There is a very big difference in how it sounds in different eqipment.
The built in soundcard in controllers differs a lot and how computers handles different soundfiles and how fast
differes. (another reason to keep to Mac, it just sounds better than PC in my ears it does anyway)Also I can not do as good job on broken equipment or equipment that somehow does not have the options that i’m used to use. If I’m not having fun playing my ordience will notice and that is a no no for me.
I have a hard time adjusting to my MC-6000 because it does not have rotating platters like my S3700’s for example.
But the MC6000 is just to be used where there is not space for the S3700’s and they have broken Pio 3000’s or American Audio CD’s (They never work good even out of the box in my experience)
I have comed across that in 3 places and I said no thank you to those giggs.Last but not least I started in 1980 with belt drive used Technics home hifi TTS and a home built mixer that needed a lot of 5-56 :)But I never did a gig with that crap!:eek:

ParticipantI do absolutely nothing but turn my computer on.
ParticipantSorry no such thing exists.
Cheap hedphones are the one that lasts like forever
but they cost a lot more.Senhiser HD25 and Denon HP1000 are two examples.
I have a pair of Senhiser HD450 (they do not make them anymore)
that I bought 1980 and they still are like new.
I also has a pair of Denon HP1000 that I have used for about 4-5 years without problems.If you buy 100$ HP it will last for 6-12 month so in a 10 year period you will spend 1000 – 2000$
and still have no useable headphones…..//DJ Hessler
Participant*Lol* I knew you would be upset by my statment.
That is why I waited this long to post it.But my true oppinion on this matter stays unchanged.
If you are a pro DJ you should play wirth pro gear IMO!
A carpenter does not use 3rd quality cheep stuff at least not here, so why should a DJ
be satisfied with that?I have tried those cheap controllers and it took me abut 10 sek to bash them all.
They have 2nd or 3rd quality buttons and hardware. It feels and looks like a toy!
Try setting a Denon or Pio product beside one of them and feel all the buttons and knobs
then you know what I mean.That is why I waited till the Denon MC6000 before I even thoght about digital DJ’ing
It is the first controller worth paying for IMO.I know that there is some of you that does think different but it will not change my oppinion.
I have been a DJ since 1980 and has always played on top quality gear on giggs.
//DJ HesslerParticipantKranic, post: 9333 wrote: Really!? Care to explain why?
Because it works in differ to Wintel
IMO and my own experience is that PCs just does not work as they are supposed to
I have had 8 of them and 7 macs 100% of PCs did not do the job had issues in hardware.
100% of the Macs had / has no problems.If I am at a club and it gets silent 100% it is a PC that needs to be rebooted!

ParticipantIs someone tries to be a good DJ he will need the same amount of money today that he needed 10-15 years ago if not more:
A Macbook Pro, Traktor Pro, A real Conrtroller (Denon MC6000, NI S4, Numark NS6 or some Pio controller)
The rest of the computers, and controllers is not pro IMO they are bedroom gear.
10 years ago you would need a used CD player, a used mixer and a used PC with a burner.
IMO I could easy spend less money 10-15 years ago. Then there was also cheap bedroom players and mixers to buy.
If you needed TTs there is a whole lot of used Technics that was cheap 10 – 15 years ago as well.
And if you should need a decent mixer for the TTS you will need a decent controller now or??
I do not buy that it is cheaper today than b4. It is only if you buy cheap crap controller and download pirated software.
And that you do not do if you are to be a serious DJ or??As for my genoralisation I wold like you to point out where I am doing that because I simply dissagre on that matter!
Yes they screw up but they still has the jobs and a lot of good DJs does not, wich I can only blame the evolution!
They get the jobs because they do not demand any money for their job!BTW all my gear is paid for by my giggs!

November 3, 2011 at 11:16 am in reply to: Setting up an arcade controller as a cue point player? #9328ParticipantYes I can map VDJ
VDJ Pro that is…..?//DJ Hessler
ParticipantOK I’ll give it a try.
On the backside of your Mixtrak Pro besides the USB port (that you conect to your computer) there is RCA outputs (Master output) They can be connected to a stereo amplifier, PA, active speakers, or wherever you want the sound from your Mixtrack Pro to go. That output can also be connected to the input of a channel on an external mixer (line in) (like a CD player).
The sound that comes out from the mixtrack is the same as if it were connected to a PA or stereo ampliferer.
IE. The different channels in the software that you uses to play on the mixtrack pro can NOT be separeted and mixed on an external mixer. You can in other words not mix two tracks from Mixtrack pro together on an external mixer…..
If you need further info or explonation I will need to know what software you use and what the purpose of connecting to an external mixer is?? Do not hesitate to ask again!
//DJ Hessler
ParticipantI never spoke to anyone using FL and it is as I know not a Mac program am I wrong??
That makes it IMO not a pro prog like Ableton Live and if you look for something like that Garageband might be simpler?I compare Ableton with Cubase, Logic and Pro Tools wich are the only good music production programs I know of.
There is Reason as well but it is a sequencer prog…..I mainly uses Ableton, Cubase, Logic and Reason in combination with VST instruments and VST effects.
And Cubase for example is very much more complex and the learningcurve much longer than Ableton//Hessler
ParticipantIf you want to produce music you will need a program and if you buy a program you proberbly want
to get your money worth?? Then there is only one way to do it RTFM!!
Read the manual carefully from first to last page, ther is no way around it if you want to get it to work!Ableton is in terms of music producing programs a simple one and that program you can use to DJ with as well
//DJ Hessler
ParticipantBad is soundquality, buildquality and reliability
Good is price.You get what you pay for in most cases.
If you want a rather cheap controller that has decent quality I sugest the Numark Mixtrak Pro.

November 3, 2011 at 7:04 am in reply to: Setting up an arcade controller as a cue point player? #9315ParticipantIs there no buttons on the Hercules that you can map for hotcues??
That should be the best solution, don’t you think?//DJ Hessler
