is Vestax Spin good enough for beginner ?

[Alton]

Hi guys

my name is Alton and I am from Australia..
I am new to this site,
I am new to everything of Mixing..
I went to a APPLE store the other day,
and I saw the Vestax Spin.. the price is $399Aust.

I know it is much more expensive to buy from US.
but.. since I dont have much choice in here
I might gonna get the SPIN...

Recently, I keep googling about the Spin
most of the comments are say Spin is better than Typhoon..
and yes, I am using a mac..
so I can use the Spin at home

Actually, I know the Spin has a pretty good rating already
1. but is there other brand a model that is better than the Spin?
2. Should I get a Typhoon or a Spin?

VESTAY TYPHOON (MADE FOR PC) =VESTAX SPIN (MADE FOR MAC)

yes, i think that this is more for scratching...rather look for numark omni, numark stealth, numark mixtrack, behringer bcd 3000 ....

So Spin is good enough for beginner already?
well.. is there any online tutorial?
I never learn before..

Spin is good enough for a beginner, but if your patient you can find a used VCI-100 for a little more and it's good enough for the pros.

is there any online tutorial?

Go here and read everything you can find. Then read some more.

Thank you for ur reply..
my friend had also recommend me the VCI-100,
I know its ani't cheap,
I afraid if I bought it and later on I might lose the interest on mixing,
at the same time,
my friend said the SPIN not pro enough,
no offense but he told me its kinda like a toy..
so does it actually worth to get the Spin?

Don't worry about throwing down a couple bills on something to learn the basics.

I would rather get a Spin and then later CDJS then get a VCI-100 or even VCI-300 and call it quits.

The Spin is functionally very good, the jog wheels are excellent. It has a built-in sound card too unlike the VCI-100 so you don't need to go to that extra expense. It IS small and "home" like rather than "club" like, but that's the market.

Alternatively the Mixtrack Pro is a great buy for the beginner and should last you many years.

There are a few more choices in this DJ controller round-up but if you're not sure you want to get seriously into DJing, makes sense to get something good but cheap to start with.
