Here are some tips you should keep in mind when you purchase a mixer: 1. Even if the mixer doesn’t have all the features, stick to your budget. 2. Don’t go for higher decks. Start with 2 decks, master it first, and then move on to higher decks. 3. Try to look for sets which are customisable, meaning you can later add new things to the mixer, without having to buy an altogether new mixer.
