if you want a midi set up, i would start off and just get a keyboard and a cheap sequencer package like cubase lite or logic av. learn them both inside out - then get a sampler, a mixing desk and upgrade your sequencer to a grown-up version. talk to a dealer then about a suitable computer/sound card set-up.
i'm only saying this because this is the order i did it in - but i must say it really pays not to get too much kit to start off with because you'll be forced to learn how to make the gear do stuff that it wasn't intended to do - and that's how you'll learn good programming and sequencing!
happy hunting...

I was actually talking about getting started with turntables, and mixing like that...
PC wise Ive been experimenting with Mixman Technoloies...
I bought the Mixman Studio Pro which was a very easy program to use...
but i was interested in getting into live performances and such...
Thanks for your replys!!

It's fact that you only notice difference between Shit-dex and Technics when you are in clubs using Technics and at home playing on Soundlabs. Technics are pro-tools not kids tools

If you're in Argentina, you should see if you can track down a Urei 1620 mixer. Search the clubs and se if any of them are upgrading their systems. Old clubs are the best to find this piece, especially in smaller, more isolated countries. That mixer is a piece of gold, and you can sell it in the States or Europe for BIG bucks. It doesn't look real flashy by today's standards. No crossfader, just knobs, but it's one of the best sounding mixers ever made. A bit of a pro tool, but possibly a good money maker for you. Good luck.
