keep an eye out for people looking to sell their stuff (usually to upgrade). i ended up finding mine here on TA, and got an amazing deal..... if your looking to start off - i would recommend my set up in a heart beat.
2 X cd-j 200's
1 X behringer djm700
if you look hard enough, you will likely be able to get all three for roughly $750-$900
i think that mixer is a little much to start with.
i was thinking more along the lines of vestax's vmc002.

dont go for cheap just cos ur inexperienced...ive always followed the rule of buying somehing really good or on average so that when u DO get good at what ur doing, u dont have to spend yet again to upgrade..and if u get a good mixer/CDJ, and then decide that this isnt what u want to do, u still have some resale value rather than selling it for pennies
hmmm...good point.
so now i know to stay away from vestax and numark
so pioneer cdj's and possibly a behringer mixer...hmm
thanks for your help so far guys.
now i know that a store has more products then TA so anyone know of some stores in toronto area?

for mixers, even the pioneers are good...try the DJM-600 for averagely good
or just pay an arm and a leg for the beautiful DJM 800 which zabiela made us drop our jobs showing us the possibilities with it on tuesday
i don't think i'd be wanting to shell out around $1000 for just the mixer. maybe around 3-400. also is 4 channel really needed or can i stick with 2 channel?

the behringers are just replicas, you can try out the feautures of a high end mixer to see what like without paying thousands of dollars.

don't go with the 600...such a rip-off.
