Hi guys, hope you're all well.

I've been teaching a friend of mine to DJ on my setup; CDJ1000s, DJM600 and Technics (we haven't touched the turntables yet though!).

Anyway he's decided that he want to get his own stuff and I was thinking of pointing him towards a couple of CDJ200s and a DJM400, unless anyone has a better suggestion for about the same price!?

My other question is about how easy it will be for him to switch between the two? I remember when I first got my Technics I had to almost relearn everything I'd learnt from my rubbish first set of turntables. Now with several years of practice under my belt it's not so much a problem but I can imagine a beginner struggling to adapt? Maybe I'm doing him a disservice though and he'll be fine with it after all!

The beauty of Pioneer CDJs is that they are all laid out the same. If he learns on DJS or 200s or 1000s, they all have a similar set-up in their layout and should make trhe transition pretty easy.

I would think going Vinyl to CD would take a little bit of getting used to, but even then not so much that it wouldn't work???

Cheers. I thought it wouldn't be a massive leap but having only ever used 800s or 1000s myself I didn't know how different they would be!

It should be an easy go of it!
