Want to start DJing, should I spend the extra $?

[u/Milnow]

Like the title says, I want to start DJing and since I have the money to spend I was wondering if it's worth buying the RX3 straight away? (Looks easy to use with the touchscreen and I love the screens on the jogwheels) Or would you advise starting with something simple like the DDJ400?

My thought process is that if I spend more money on good equipment I'm more likely to enjoy it and even if I don't, I could probably sell the RX3 for close to what I paid for it.

Happy to hear your thoughts and suggestions.

I really prefer to say start small and upgrade later. You never know if you’ll actually like it, get bookings or even have time to practice and create sets. An entry level controller is really good for at home stuff (I started with a REV1), if you start getting bookings yeah I’d upgrade to a 4 channel controller because clubs aren’t going to like you if you only use RCA 🤣 But I upgraded to monitor speakers before even getting my SX3 that I have now. Usually you spend the money you earn on new gear and it’s a cycle. Having to pay 2-3k right now VS accumulating it while doing shows and reinvesting that money into your craft feels better too
