If you want to play at a club they provide equipment for you...
anyways saw you have $1500 to spend and it looks like your settled on the DDM-4000 that's fine to learn on. just remember industry standard is a DJM mixer or Rane mixer
1. ddm-4000 or a cheap 4 channel mixer and throw an Innofader in it $350
2. pair of Technics 1200 mk2 $800
3. Rane SL2 $400 "Can be used with serato and has core audio drivers as well as asio drivers. and can be adapted to work with traktor with a mod 1 sound card for both software and it's industry standard
4. X1 $160 (optional)
total is about $1700 maybe you can find used or somewhere that has this stuff on sale. you can wait to get the x1 later and just use your keyboard.
It's nice that you have a decent budget to get serious with your hobby. Most guys start this on a tight budget of like $500 or less and they have to be creative in building their rig but eventually will go with the industry standard whatever it may be for the time.
If you can mix on DVS it's easier to just jump on cdj's. It's usually vinyl guys can switch to cdj's but cdj guys have problems working with WAX . Good luck man btw if DJing doesn't work out... you can always resale that gear at the price you bought it for Can't really say that about the cheaper gear.
