You will find it frustrating in the least to learn on anything less than technics quality decks.
The cheap models are very lightweight, so the tonearm and needle are a pain to place, you can forget scratching, spinbacks or literally anything else other than beat mixing. Even if you jog the desk the decks are on by accident the tone arms will simply fly across the vinyl.
Belt drive sucks, you'll hate waiting for the turntable to get to speed if trying to beat mix two tunes from a certain point. Youll try and winding the record forward with your finger to play catch up and the lightweight tone arm will keep jumping out of the groove - practising even the basics on these for a few weeks and you'll throw them out of the window. Cheap direct drives aren't any better, the motors have pathetic torque and everything else is pretty much as lightweight.
I sincerely hope I've convinced you not to waste your money - you'll be wanting to upgrade in a month because cheap decks make the initial learning process horrendous and four times as long.
