Wow, this topic is on fire... Thanks for all great advices, but im still a bit confused on what ill should buy, but it seems like i will do with the cd´s.

However, i think that vinyl has a deeper and warmer feeling in the sound, but i will start with the cd´s. But i will not use any software to it, cant really see why!?

Yes, "spot on"! . I work so much with the computer, when mixing my tracks, and i know that it is good for djíng. However, i dont care to safe money, i want to learn it all!

Thanks again!

in regards to buying numark, if you do i recommened the TT 200's they're damn cheap and perfect for a beginner ive still got mine after a year and no complaints. but yeah if you want to learn it all and ur not too tight for money i do recommend vinyl, itll teach you about your songs and how to mix well (im sure people with cdj's will argue that).

Don't forget the past

Starting with CDJ's is fine, but you should consider getting at least one TT down the line for all the clasic stuff that you can't download.

If you go only digital you will be ruleing out all the great tracks that have come out before digial got big.

Yea! ill think i will go with TT , and go buy some good vinyls! The records shop a go to has aLOT! of good club records! Yes its a bit more expensive with vinyl, but i think its worth the money! I will probobly buy some cd磗 in the future!

So, byuing a pair of TT from Numark would be ok as for starters?

Thanks

tt200's are crap... get tt500's (you can get 2 for 500 or less on ebay). you don't want to buy vinyl for real... i have a bunch of vinyl and a dxm06 mixer im not using... i'll give it to you for dirt cheep (like 1$ a record) and 50 bucks for the mixer. we can do it through ebay or something i'll make a special auction w/ a buy it now price we agree on and you can pay me through paypal and i'll ship the shit to ya.. you have to get serato man for real! like it or not, you're gonna end up getting serato or final scratch in the future so you might as well get them now instead of buying a bunch of vinyl. you have to have serato if you have tt's.

See if you can find some good used 1200's which should be an easy thing to do. Than you can always sell them down the road for what you paid for them. I got my 1200's used and I know I wouldn't have a problem getting what I paid for them over 6 years ago. Top of the line used gear, is still great equipment and the price of used 1200's is very consistant.

As with most ppl who have started from vinyl and gone to cds, just too expensive. And those fancy buttons that allows you to do fun stuff on CDJs. (Got a pair of CDJ 1000 mk3s recently)

You don't have to buy a pair of TTS. Borrow if you can. But I just feel that you get a better grip of fundamentals starting from vinyls. Hard to defend my point of view I know.
