Noobie in Need! (of help)

Hi guys. im taking the plunge into the dj world and going to buy me Something to get into it. Here’s the question: What the hell do i buy???!?!

basically i got no idea where to start. so maybe i will tell you guys a few things about why i want to dj and what i want to dj and maybe some of you will be so kind as to point me in the right direction!

Why??: after only being legit age for clubbing a year local dj’s have inspired me to take up djing as mainly a hobby but perhaps something more in the near future
what??: i intend on mixing house/electro house and doing some mashups
previous experience: been fiddling around with virtual dj for a few months making a few scratchy mashups here and there.
possible equipment choices: ive been looking at a pioneer cdj 100 pack with includes the 2 cd players and a Behringer VMX100. the package costs $AU990 (not to sure $US with the dollar value atm).

so yeah any suggestions guys? i mean should i be starting on cd’s or maybe i should go digital? will the cdj 100’s suffice as entry level decks? how about the mixer? im not quite sure what the mixer does :S lol

well thanks in advance all who help this noobie in need!

hey mate thanks for the reply

so how does digital mixing work? u buy a program and the mixer which has the 2 decks and that plugs into the program or something? i have a laptop which would be useful for this. but yes im quite keen on some sort of hardware not "laptop only" djing. Im an australian university student so my bank roll is extremely low what price am i looking at for a descent digital mixer? and sorry 1 more question why digital > cd for starting off?

thanks alot mate!!!

hey buddy thanks for the link, however im in aus so its a tad hard for me to get that exact deck etc. maybe u could inspect these [url:2cfw680u]http://www.djwarehouse.com.au/cat/index.cgi/shopfront/view_product_details?category_id=15658&product_id=876591[/url:2cfw680u] and tell me what they would be like? ive never used or heard of torq before. my list of digital systems are pretty low. might have a look around at some other sites see what they got on offer too

thanks for checking it out. i think it would definately be the go for me (if not this then something digital). I now understand that there is absolutely no point carrying all your cds with you and having to load them constantly etc. these digital controllers basically do the same thing and yes they are cheaper! thanks a lot for the help dude appreciate it!
