No, that is not a good mixer. expect to spend that amount alone for a mixer thats worth anything that has decent faders, and sound quality
ARNATINE
OK... WHT MIXER DO YOU RECOMIENDAS? AND I DON`T TRY TO BECOME A PRO DJ IS JUST FOR FUN AND KEEP ME BUSY AND LEARN AND MAYBE I BOUTH A BETTER MIXER IS JUST FOR START... AND THE CD PLAYER IS GOOD?

Don't talk in all caps.

I don't know about the CDplayer, but as far as a mixer, I don't suggest getting that. You'd probably be alright with a Behringer VMX-300 or something. It's generally accepted to skimp on the mixer, but you have to draw the line somewhere.
ARNATINE
ok the Behringer VMX-300 seen nice to me!
gracias?

ok one more question... whit the cd player and the mixer I done? o O need another divice?

Pd.. what about the Gemini Disc-O-Mix DJ Kit?.. more small opcion

sorry if I do many question!;)

You only need the mixer and CD unit (if it's a double CD player, else you need two of them). Your also going to need speakers, and if they are passive speakers, an amplifier.

I wouldn't recommend anything from Gemini, and I wouldn't recommend ANY "DJ in a box" type kit. Maybe look into the tt200 from Numark, or the Stanton St-80 ?
WeasiL
yea the numark's and behringer's arent too bad... not sure how much they are going for these days but if you can swing it i would look into a pioneer djm500... great mixer all around.
KiNeTiC ENeRgY
Pioner djm 500 is a good place to start, and end up with. DJM 600 even better. Berhinger anything is absolutelty a POS. Rane, or Allen & Heath is the way to go. This is an expensive hobby no doubt about it, but if you buy for equipment to start, your not going to have any fun and wish you bought better gear to start off with.
ARNATINE
ok for now I must forget the idea to buy some gear... right now my country i don`t know how to say this but just figurate... 3 dead people in goverment hand... this afternon Brazil and colombia president leave the my contry for security... underground say that national strike is coming... I think I must forget the idea of mixing and care of security of my faimily,me and my country... THAT SUCK
