It all depends on what your budget is, and what do you look for in a mixer.

Originally posted by EvilTree What he said. Waaaaay too much money. Even with most basic setup, you're looking at 1000 bucks minimum, probably more, depends on what setup you get. (Most ppl go for 2x CDJs usually Pioneers 200s plus a basic mixer) Add headphones (decent ones go for around 150-200), cds, tunes you buy from Beatport or wherever, accesories (ie a recording device, cd binders, etc) and they all add up. The actual learning of the technical skills varies, usually with how much do you practice per day, and whether you had someone teach you, or learn from internet, whatever. For me, it took about 3 months to get beatmatching down consistently and another 3 months to get phrasing and proper transition down. That is with around 1-2hrs of practicing everyday. Having someone to teach me the basics (thanks Aaron!) helped. Then you can join the elite brother/sisterhood of TOTA DJs. I swear at least 1/3 of TOTA is a DJ

A computer will never be able to simulate that feeling you get spinning on a turntable or cdjs.
