How to start as a DJ for under 400$?

[WCTPro]

Hey guys, so I have a great computer, have Logic Pro and I've been producing for a while, but now I want to get into DJing !
Unfortunately I only have about 400 USD to spend.... Could you please recommend the necessary gear and software please. Keep if cheap if possible...
But I don't want anything too cheap as I want it to last for a while.. Thanks a bunch!

first of all, 9/10 times going cheap is gonna equal having shit equipment.

and second, it depends what medium you want to use, vinyl? cds? digital?

just get virtual dj

i picked up 2 NDX400s and an M2 mixer for about 500 :/ the 2 NDXs where 200 each

[WCTPro]

Yeah I know, just don't see much cash coming in... and sorry digital.

do you ever intend on playing in a club? if you do, i would suggest against buying a controller.

Honestly don't think you can buy a complete setup for under $400. Soooooo......

Aha I see, what would you recommend? Sorry for all my questions, noob to DJing... Thanks

[Sexual_Chocolate]

better to ask questions then to go around knowing nothing haha


ok, if you wanna play in clubs and want to play digitally then i would suggest spending abit of cash and getting traktor or serato.

then on top of that, i would get either a decent pair of cdj800s OR a decent pair of techniques.

if thats too expensive, then just get one of the last 2 suggestions & either play vinyl or cds.

aren't there any all in one itch controllers for that price?

yea definitely... only wish i had gotten a better mixer but oh well... i wanted CDJ800s but couldnt justify spending so much on something that ive never done before.
