buying your first dj controller? - 5 things to keep in mind in 2024

[@youngtrini3800]

I want the best small high quality dj controller im not a beginner just want something smaller

[@DJGaryP]

What about the rane one ?

[@PDot]

the rane one is a great option if it's in your price range

[@johnsuggs7828]

If you're a pro or you're intending on becoming a pro and you want to make a 1500+ dollar investment.. Rane One is definitely on your higher end price range. Either way, if you can afford it as your first controller, you in really good shape

[@UONeal]

I have an S11 with turntables and I have the Prime 4... But I recently bought three FLX4 just as a little portable controller and I love it... It's fun to just mess around and setup crates and cue points

[@PDot]

Yes! Having a small setup you can setup super quick on the coffee table or the couch just to work out some ideas can be so valuable!

what about DDJ SR2

[@PDot]

I think the DDJ SR2 is a solid choice if you're buying it used.

[@adelonic1]

[@Alonzo5821]

Why what’s special about the Hercules 500

[@PDot]

For the price of the 500, you get a great set of features.

[@johnsuggs7828]

Just got a 500 literally a week ago. Well built. You get a lot of features for the price point. doesn't have a dedicated effects section which sucks. The wheels are great as well
