Sup everyone. I'm new to this and I's like to know if anyone can give me feedback on these equipment I want to buy. Maybe personal experience with it or you know people who has used them. Any info that can help me. I will mainly just sample and make some beats for fun, maybe give them to people to flow on.

I got a question though, does that turn table come wit a cartridge? if not which do ya perfer for that turntable? And also, I Took a pro tools class over the summer and i know how to eq and mix ok on it. I dont have the program unfortunatly, i had to use the college's comps. Should i just get a mixer and learn how to use it or just use pro tools?

as far as a mixer vs protools thats really a personal prefrence but if you already kno how to use protools why not go with that. personnally id roll wit protools. thats a st8 set up to start wit though. turntables come with cartrages and needles but you should also look at ebay just to save yourself some money. the rp5's are dope i own a pair but i cant say that they are the best (another personal prefrence)
