DJM S11 VS DJM-750MK2 vs DJM-2000Nexus for vinyl — what would you choose?

I'm looking for a new mixer for 2 × Technics and mainly real vinyl.

I've considered the DJM-S11, and I know it's probably the best option for what I want, but honestly it's more money than I'd like to spend and probably overkill.

So I'm stuck between:

DJM-750MK2 – newer, modern, great FX, DVS support and a familiar club layout.

DJM-2000Nexus – older, but the touchscreen, Beat Slicer, Frequency Remix, Side Chain Remix etc. look really interesting for creative vinyl mixing.

I'm particularly interested in using effects with actual vinyl, not just DVS/CDJs.

Has anyone here actually used either of these with Technics and real records?

Which would you choose, and why?

Also happy to hear suggestions for other mixers around the same used price range.

I've been wanting to add two standalones to my az, I was curious on some opinions on what I should go with. I'd like to not spend a ridiculous amount, so I've been mainly looking at CDJ-900NXS, XDJ-1000Mk2, and CDJ-2000s. Ideally would like to stay at 1500 or less for 2 total, and I've found a few that are in that range. Anyone have recommendations as to what I should go with or just advice?

interested in other DJs routines when it comes to practicing the craft. lately I have been spending my time more on preparation for the tracks rather than doing transitions a

etc. It's a little frustrating as it feels like a form of procrastination which frustrates me.

hey guys! soooo have a question - got signed up for a gig w an led panel mesuring 9x12ft.

this is my first time working on something thats asks me to bring up visuals for a gig.

any of u guys got some recos?

1. a “generic” visual that isnt time coded / visuals to ur set?
2. software / application that reacts to what ur playing?
3. time coded / sync visuals?

Not sure if this would be better in r/Beatmatch but we'll see. I've been a laptop DJ for a while now and mainly just do friend's parties and just jamming b2b. Over the years i've ensured that my USB has all my music separated into specific folders for each sub genre and crates in serato that correspond. My current process for downloading music has me doing the following:

1. Song gets downloaded to the same specific folder automatically on my computer

2. Move the new song(s) to a seperate folder on the USB titled "New"

3. Drag new songs from "New" folder to crate in serato titled "New"

4. Listen through the song and add it to the correct subgenre crate

5. Move the song from the "New" folder to the correct corresponding subgenre folder

6. In serato use the relocate feature to bridge the song in the correct crate to the correct corresponding subgenre folder

As you can probably tell this is pretty annoying. Also since I usually collect/find songs over time and download in bulk I have to relisten to confirm what subgenre it is and since I end up moving the source file from the original folder it was in, setting cues and adjusting beatgrids or anything like that is pointless to do on my original listen through - if that makes sense.

Been looking into using the auto-import folder feature in serato as well as potentially having all my music just sitting in one folder and only doing any organization within my crates. Wondering if you guys have tips for this or any experience with something potentially going wrong.

I dont really care as much to use smart crates that auto read the song's subgenre from the metadata but i think i cant avoid using smart crates while also using the auto-import feature.

Either way the process I imagine is more so something like this:

1. Song gets downloaded to the same specific folder automatically on my computer

2. Move the song to the general source file on my USB - add it to "New" crate in Serato

3. Do my listen through and adjustments and just move it to the correct subgenre crate

This will make the process less tedious and will have my crates always good and ready to go - my worry is if anything happens with my computer - it'll be a pain to retrieve those .crate files unless I store a backup of the_Serato_ folder on my USB.

Am I overthinking this and there is a simple solution in front of me? please let me know
