Hello everyone, I'm new to Djing, at least DJing with Ableton. Can someone suggest a good controller to purchase for when I start Djing. Nothing too expensive for now, just something adequate that will do the job. Thanks

most common entry level, for a long while at least, was evolution UC-33 or X-session. not too expensive, would get you started to learn what you may want in a higher end one.

Novation Nocturn - sexy package, low price.

I would say,if you have an iphone then you can use this application.
I have used it for about 1 day and all i can say it is amazing.

for inexpensive, check out the BCR2000 and the new Korg Nano series.

you can also do a lot with just your computer keyboard, there's a COSM set on here somewhere where he drops some serious science on the topic with a downloadable .als, very cool. I think this is it...

I certainly do, but they hardly fit into the "inexpensive" bracket!
