Beginners Equipment

Evening!  I couldn’t really find any topics discussing equipment for beginners – I am brand new to Sonic Academy, along with learning all about DJing.
I have been taking the time to study terms, trying to gain an understanding of all the different equipment available, the many programs…etc…etc. 

But out of curiousity - if anyone can offer some suggestions regarding basic equipment one would need to begin learning hands on - it would be truly appreciated!
I am leaning towards digital DJing.  I did a bit of research on Serato ITCH compatible products:  The Allen & Heath xone DX was pretty out of this world (to a novice, that is) - I would like stay focused on quality products.


I’ll def.  have to buy a new computer as well…any suggestions?  Mac over PC or PC over Mac.  I’ve owned both and like both…for DJing though - not sure which would be best.  I’m sure it’s about opinion, but that’s what I’m asking for!  :wink:


I’d love to see what anyone has to advise regarding the vast selection of hardware out there.


Thank you and truly appreciate it!
