Beginner question
First of Really really good site, good job.
Second, my question: if I buy a turntables, could I use CDs on it to do scratch or to mix music or that only works for vinyl. If so is there any turntable for CDs only, or is there a cd to vinyl burner or something? Im sorry, I know my question is really dumb, ill wait your answers while listening to some of the djs mix in here. Thats an example of turntable I would like to have

thanks in adv
I really don't understand the question in all honestly, can you rephrase it, i don't get it...
do turnable dj mixer works for CD too or only for vinyl??
Turntables are for vinyl only, though you can buy "CD Turntables" such as the Pioneer CDJ range that will enable you to mix and scratch songs from a CD.
Hope this was helpful, Jay
ok cool thanks, do you think turnable CD worth the price or a normal dj mixer without turnable cd will do the job (for an average dj)
oh and btw do you know if cd mixers works with mp3 players like an iPod or a atrac3 player like the sony nw-hd1? like is there a jack where you can put those or something instead of a cd?
It depends, different people prefer different things, I personally find mixing with CD's is easier, but it is more expensive to buy CD Djing equipment, but you'll save money in the long run because you wont have to buy vinyls.
Look around in stores that sell DJ equipment, explain to the staff you're a beginner and you want to start mixing, then you can have a look at the various equipment, just dont part with your money on something you're not sure about buying, to start, you'll need two turntables or CD players, a mixer, headphones and Hi-Fi equipment to hear the racket you're making...
Good Luck
As for the last question, no but you can buy DJ software for your computer that will allow you to mix with MP3's or if you end up with Turntables you can buy specialist equipment (look at Stanton Finalscratch) that can allow you to control and mix Mp3's from your turntable like you were using vinyl...
aite thx m8, ill buy a cdj somewhere soon, thanks again!
Oh and certain CD players allow you to use MP3 Cd's, i almost forgot about that...
No worries...

Yeah, theres always that option, i'll probably get one of the two eventually... I was wondering can you use the reverse function with Finalscratch and Serato for the whole song or is there a time limit?

and a mixer.
Indeed... What he said...
And a fair wad of cash!
cdj's don't come cheap.. unless you want to get the cd200's which are a nice way to start imo..
Depends how serious you want to start off with this or whether you're just trying to see if you like this kind of thing.
If it's the latter then i suggest having a go on a friends set up, if you have mates who have decks/cd decks...
I had to go all out as none of my friends have decks, but i've had fun so far 
It's cost me a fair bit though
