question for all of ye..

[mvduke]

ive been into dubstep for a while now and have been interested in buying some stuff to dj with.
ive been looking at turntables as well as a mixer that uses traktor 3.
im not really planning to dj at big events, maybe a home party here and there.
i would rather uses vinyl, however its so expensive for me being 16 and in america.
i buy my tunes legally online, so the question is..
what do you guys recommend i get?

The favorite seems to be Technics, but I don't know much about DJing to be honest (although I've really been wanting to get into it)

technics are rock solid and very reliable so that's why most people go with them, I don't know about the states but in the UK you can pick a pair up for about £400 most of the time. Bargain

Technics sl 1200 , Vestax pdx 2000 and I hear Stanton STR8150 are pretty good, for mixers Allen & Heath, Rane, Urei, Pioneer, Vestax are the way to go.

If you want the best of the best and have the money then go for the stuff mentioned above, but I used shite belt drive decks for about 3 years because I couldnt afford anything else. Not about what equipment you have, its about what you do with it

also just stay away from anything made by behringer like the plague. i swear they make their products out of paper and custard

^^ this man has probably lived with a behringer mixer too. mine melted into custard and even then it was lumpy

decks- anything direct drive would help. numark tt 1660's arent too bad to start with. but technics are tooooooo expensive now. so 1210's for the decks

Mixer: Pioneers & Allen & Heath are immense but expensive. The numark dmx06 u can get off ebay for about £50 (think thats about 90 dollars) and that will have you sorted.
