Hey Lato, If you want to be a real dj you need turntables none of this CDJ crap(there sure are a lot of them out there these days he he). That too depends upon what you are looking for. Like if you want to learn, then there are a lotta cheap DJ packages for $300-$400(includes two cheapass turntables with a mixer and cartridges). But the Standard is Technics MK1200(used in all night clubs all over), I think they go for $400 each for brand new. Then you gotta get the cartriges(depending on if you want to strach or just plainly mix records), strach needles tend to be a bit lighter so they don't destroy records(or stract them) whereas the other are a bit heavy for richer sound. Needles can go up to $200 a pop depending upon what you are looking for(suggest doing your homework before you go buy them). After you've put your stuff togather, I would strongly suggest to learn how to beatmatch(you will never get a decent gig if you don't know how to do this). There sure are a lotta so called straight cut dj's(that don't know ABC about Djing, they just cut songs like it was cake. he he Thats when you get rude awakening on the Dance floor, when you hear Backstreet boys after AC/DC(you'll be going what the fug?). Bkaa bka bkaaa thats all folks !!
