numark idj3 is nice. fairly decent price.

@op I recommend you use algoriddim djay for starters. You can find a nice torrent on the internet and (imo) it has a way more friendlier interface than virtualdj.

A homie told me in college when I was learning, make sure it sounds like one continuous song. Make sure your bpms match or are close to each other. And know where to place your cue points (or parts where you can press on your controller and the track you're playing on the left or the right turntable will go from that point)

and as far as catalog, honestly, it doesn't hurt in just asking your friends what they wanna hear. Before I started dj'ing I ain't really know s*** about nola bounce music or the different types of latin music (e.g. like I only knew basic reggaeton, but I aint know s*** like bachata or dembow for example) but my school had a big population of people from these places. So I had to learn, ask, and up my catalog.

And then, just go with what the crowd wants, depending on where you're djing.

-I dj'd through college and occasionally in the city through friends events.
