Quick advice Numark M3 DJ mixer

Post by nowaysj » Mon May 31, 2010 6:23 am

Yellow,

So I see a sale on a numark m3 mixer, its like $100 new. Is this enough to learn on, like legit enough to actually use? I really don't like low end gear. I like investing in quality, but am 100% newbz with this dj thing, so don't want to put a lot of money up front into something I may not enjoy.

So, your opinions on the numark m3 for $100... sound quality, usability, durability.

Much appreciated.

I started on a fucked two channel battle mixer. It really doesn't matter for learning on, nothing about it will make the learning experience shit or harder.

So yeah, why the fuck not?

they're not that bad, not the best either but in that price range you could do a lot worse

Had one for about 2 months before the crossfader broke. The quality is crap.

Dude, when i started i was on a cheap Numark DM950 mixer, 2 channels, no effects, just cross fader, eq and levels. Its about learning the principle first, then think about the high tech gear.
