hmmm. honestly man. i'd have to say no. having xp on cd players is a must, its a big step up from vdj, which is insanely easy. and dont worry bout money, thats the last thing u worry bout. it really depends on the bar, mayb just go in and do some simple 1bar crossfade transitions. if its a crankin bar. id stay away. u really should invest in decks. they dont have to be pioneer, mine arent. sry if this sounded mean, just being honest.
