This has probably been discussed in the past, but I want to start mixing and I don't know which one to get. Suggestions please?? Advantages n Disadvantages of both if possible. Cheers

CDs are easier, you can do a lot more with them, and as regards music, are a lot cheaper. But, apparently the sound quality is better with vinyl, unless you use FLAC or high quality WAV CDs, in which case, the sound quality is the same. Even so, there's always people that will say vinyl is the best, just because it's cooler. You'll hear a lot about 'a fresh slab of...' etc.

It's up to you really. A pair of good vinyl decks are a lot cheaper than CD decks, and you probably are better off learning on vinyl, as it will teach you more, but buying vinyl is seriously expensive.
