i have a vestax pmc-15mk2. i like it but soms things on the mixer could be better. This summer im planning to do a lot of work and I will earn more than enough money to buy a pioneer djm500/600 mixer.
The pioneer mixer you see now in most clubs and raves, and the sampler is a great extra. But it is a lot of money, maybe it is better to invest the money in studio equipment? pleaz give me advise

If you think you are good enough at mixing and have the money for the 500/600.. you should get it just to put the icing on the cake for your mixes.

The DJM-600 has many features for this so it should be a good upgrade.. though others may differ..

well, it really depends on your personal preference..... and what do you reffer to as "studio equipment".... I mean, if you wanna get into producing, then you should definatly go for the studio stuff..... but if you just wanna DJ, then I know I would get the DJM 500/600...............
but hey, I think you got it wrong...... aren't the Pioneer DJM 500/600 CD players?? are there mixers under that name too????

i want to do them both, producing and dj-ing, there are some music production & studio sound courses in the netherlands, maybe it is better to take a course before i buy production stuff

there is a big eletronic shop in Rotterdam, its called correct elektronics. in the summer they have a big sale period. Than you can get discount on many products. But I also will trie other shops and maybe websites to inform the price.
