-Bitpix- Don't do the same re-mix your life.
I don't see any problem starting there. I started out with a spray-painted keyboard. There are a bunch of threads which are people asking about gear for beginners. You may be able to find some other good entry level controllers amidst those.
You may want to take a look at this thread some good input:

"to start making cool remixes"? hes not gonna get very far with a typhoon and traktor
best off getting a DAW
but if u are just talking about mixing then get traktor but stay away from the typhoon
one of the worst bit of kits every made
The Typhoon, IMO, is a mixed thing. You really have to compare it to what is in it's class cost wise.
It's $299. The other close competitors come in at about the same cost for the Hercules RMX, and then $250 for the Numark Mixtrack Pro. The other near cost efficient options would be the Hercules Steel + Audio 2 DJ or the Numark Mixtrack + Audio 2 DJ.
They all have an on-board soundcard (which there are mixed quality reviews about all of them). That's up to the person really, wanting a more modular setup (that is a bit more future proof imo) or having an all in one thing.
If you figure in the cost of a MIDI fighter, you're easily looking at something close to $500. And that's just with Traktor LE. Upgrade that, and you're close on $600 now.
Personally, if you're getting toward that price range, I'd honestly suggest he go with either a used (bought from the forums/craigslist/ebay) VCI-100SE, or a refurbished VCI-100SE from the DJTT store ($449). Add an Audio 2 DJ and an upgrade for Traktor LE, and you're looking about the same price for a much stronger piece of hardware.
It's up to you guys, but figure out the "end" budget, and go with your most long lasting option IMO.
