Getting started with DJing can become a very expensive and confusing process. There is so many different makes and formats of turntables that the whole thing can become quite overwhelming.
The first thing I would recommend is that if you have never used any turntables before or done any type of DJing try and find somewhere were you can have a little play around on them and get a feel for the whole thing first. I'm pretty sure the guys in your local record store will be more than helpful.
DJing can become a very expensive past time so you do really need to be 100 % sure its something you want to take up. Having a great love for music is a must so if you don't eat sleep and breathe music then don't bother you will only be wasting your time and money.
Choosing the right set of decks is crucial if your serious about taking up DJing its defiantly worth while investing in a good set of turntables like technics or Vestax, there is an awful lot of cheaper models but they just don't perform half as good. Technics and Vestax turntables can cost anything from £400 upwards for one turntable.
So they can become to expensive depending on your budget, if you can not afford to invest the money for Technics or Vestax, other models such as Nu mark have very good starter packages for under £300 which usually consist of two decks and a mixer, what ever set of turntables you decide to purchase try and only buy a set with direct drive motors as they work a lot better then belt driven decks.
