Hy pmo,

there are many way's!

I would like to tell you 2 ways!
But first i must say i normaly don't use turntabels!

Way1
VirtualDJ Pro Software
Behringer Mixer DDM4000
m-audio conectiv or NI Audio 4DJ Soundcard
Technics Turntabels with direct drive

Please do not use USB-Turntabels, i never heard anything good statements about such kiddy toy!

Way2
VirtualDJ Pro Software
Vestax VC100 or Hercules Steel All-in-One Controler
m-audio conectiv or NI Audio 4DJ Soundcard

I think this two ways, are ways with a quality high equipment and with a fair price!

see you on stream

The setup's above are crap, i would recommend somethig along the lines of 2 cdj 800's mk2 and like a nuo 2.0 or alien and health xone 22 and you are set my man the best you ca get for that money if you want used you can find a good price on a rane mixer. Good luck

There's lots of different options you could chose. Depends if u want the traditional feel of Vynal if so two decks VDJ software a midi mixer,
or if u want a more modern feel go for a midi controler, eg a Hurcules RMX or a Torq Exponant.

I used to have the traditional approach but now use an RMX and a sample pad, i even use the RMX when working in the club, i find it much easier to transport, and more concise and more of a pleasure to use. You will at some point have some negative opinions on a midi controller but its up to you.   

Need any more help feel free to message me

You could go for a Numark total controller package...that works fine with VDJ
or cj 400's with djm 400 by pioneer..best option..works great..
