    Controller vs CDJ vs Vinyl …nothing is “beginner” or “pro” in that sense.
    With concern of cost…a controller can probably get you up and running cheaper/faster than the other 2 methods though.

    Who will you be taking “lessons” from? I would check what format that person uses first.

    DDJ-S1 is going to be the controller that most closely emulates a pair of cdjs and a mixer.

    Probably Never…

    If you Want a true all in one typed CDJ mixer look into a Numark Mixdeck or something similar from the other manufacturers…

    That is way farther away from 2 cdjs and a mixer than the DDJ pictured above.
    Wasn’t that your goal?

    I think you think the wrong way here!

    A controller and its layout should be cunstructed to work together with the software IMO
    Not to emulate CDJs as good as possible, that is one of the reasons I think Pio does not have any good controllers.
    An other reason is that it just has no good quality compared to the pricetag!

    So I recommend eather CDJ400/DJM400 or Denon S1200/x120 (Denon is IMO better in terms of quality and value for money)
    OR if you want a cheap controller to start with the Numark Mixtrak Pro.

    If you considder sticking with a controller and not later go to CDJ I would recommend you to get a better controller:
    There is IMO The Denon MC6000/MC3000 and NI S4/S2 if you want to run Traktor
    Denon MC6000/MC3000 if you wan to run VDJ
    Numark NS6 if you want to run ITCH

    The Traktor Kontrol S2 is on sale now until March 31st. It’s $399 now instead of $599. You can’t pass that deal up! You’re pretty much getting the controller for the price of a Mixtrack Pro if you take into consideration the pro software that comes with it. This is seriously so good for beginners and it will last you a long, long time I believe. I’ve got a Mixtrack Pro now, had it about 4 months and I already feel like I’ve outgrown it. I’ll be ordering the S2 this coming Friday 🙂
