Seeing what remixes you have put onto YouTube has gotten me interested in using a DJ mixer myself.
What brand do you have? How hard is it to use a DJ? What else do you need to make remixes? Any recommendations? Are DJ machines / mixers worth their price? What brands shouldn't I buy?
dude don't follow in the steps of tricky.
you needa follow poke da gawd
yes and dont forget to drop the bass
on a serious note, you won't get far unless your willing to play for parties and move your equipment around a lot and travel. + the cost for dj gear is pretty expensive so you should have like a semesters worth of college money at least to spare >_<

DJs get successful easier, and faster
To answer your question I have spent about $7,300 on my entire set.
I have 3 mixers, one being a primary mixer, the other two being controller alternatives. Controllers are mixers with CDJs built in one, but are much more limited than a full deck. They are much cheaper as well, and easier to use by far.
My mixer is a Pioneer DJM-700 ($1,050). My controllers = Numark Mixtrack Pro ($370) and Pioneer DDJ Ergo ($560).
If you are interesting in mixing you should download Virtual DJ before you buy any hardware.'
Soo brand = Pioneer, Numark
"A DJ" is a person not some kind of machinery lol. But to be a DJ, it's very difficult for the first few months before you don't really know what you're doing. I'm a year into it now and I have nowhere to go but up. I don't make remixes, I can make bootlegs which is basically the exact same thing but you would need programs like Sony Acid Pro or Fruity Loops. DJ items are worth their price if you intend to make it a life hobby. I don't know about any particular bad brands.
soap drop *****
I use my djballslap x390 v.2 which I use to produce the famous slap of the balls.
>a dj is a person not some kind of machinery

Which is wut you should do, and you don't have to invest good money if you're just gonna do smalltime parties all your life for friends. You could make like $300 every few weeks with some crappy $200 controller if enough people know you and want you.
ah. im only going by this with futureshop dj prices and experience with irl friends who wanted to dj.
you should factor in aussi's inflation too btw xab, you might get stuff cheaper. Maybe settle for even used stuff
