Hello. First time poster here with 0 experience DJing. I love music and dancing and I realized I would regret it if I never tried to DJ while I'm alive.

I live half the year in the U.S., and the other half in Tokyo. I noticed that in Japan pretty much every club or bar uses the Pioneer CDJs. So, my question is what would be the best way to get me started to gain experience using their Rekordbox system?

I've done some research, and realized that getting 2 CDJs and a mixer is out of my budget (also don't ever plan on using burned CD's..) so I've been looking at your selection of Controllers.

Will either of these work to prepare me to play and if so, which one would you guys recommend?
