18.05.2013		First of all, do you want to use softwares and controllers?
Second, if you eventually plan on moving on to CDJs or Vinyls, then don't look at controllers to "learn" and "practice." Go straight to CDJs or Vinyls. Don't waste time and money.
Thirdly, is it a home setup? Are you planning on being a club DJ or Mobile DJ or just for fun?

Really? So all these headliners using serato virtual dj are not good Dj's because they are not using traktor?

Honest opinion Mixtracks pro and you can test all the software and demo which work flow works best for you.

Absolutely wrong, I know many great DJs who use VDJ.

My advice? Buy a mixtrack pro and try the demo software to see if you enjoy DJing. Go from there.

This is true, it's just that you don't truly know your preferred method of DJing until you've tried em all. I believe playing around with all the different types of gear is recommended before you drop some cash, as someone already suggested before.

Do some searching and reading to narrow down your preferences. Similar questions have already been answered many times on this community and many other DJ related sites on the web.

If possible, once you've done your homework, go to a local music store and try out some different gear to see what you might prefer.
This, but also decide what your budget is going to be, and work around this. Your budget will limit what you can buy, so use it wisely.

I'd also advocate the idea of trying to find a mate who has some kit you can have a try on and see what you believe to it. As always, just have as much fun as you can and enjoy the journey!
