Digital DJing on the Cheap

The manufacturers don't want you to know this, but the truth is you don't have to plop down $1,500 for the latest Allen & Heath mixer or $3,000 on a JazzMutant Lemur to do creative things with MIDI and DJ software. Sure, having a brand new DJ controller with all kinds of bells and whistles will get you excited about trying new ideas, but you might get more mileage out of something at a fraction of those prices.

Great article on how to get into digital djing without having shell out tons of cash for a top of the line dj software controller. You'll still need to shell out for the software (Traktor 3, Torq, PCDJ Dex or any other midi-controllable DJ software), a laptop and a cheap mixer, but you won't have to drop a lot on fancy controller.

Also check out the author's dj blog at DJ Tech Tools.com. Not much there at the moment, but there's some neat stuff all the same.
