Hello from DJ Choppercat:
It helps if you know how to make a remix with vinyl. That is my former experience as a club's resident DJ. I will recommend some freeware online and download that you can experiment with and record your practice. You want to capture the good and the bad, especially when you are learning. There are times in practice I get so frustrated and think this is lousy but the recording played later might demonstrate something that sounds good. Then you have to think again about what you did right and wrong. Part of learning.
Also, will recommend you start connecting with DJs online and here I am, very good with internet search, and can tell you that there are tight communities of DJs online and lots of single, still looking, roaming DJs that have no interest in social networks. This is one that does and it is a great boost.
Join http://bedroomdj.ning.com and introduce yourself by SENT MESSAGE to administrator Jason. Let him know what you expect and your interests. This group gets some great interviews with the pro world of djing and amateur and home-spun, too.
Go and join online, http://www.jamglue.com and make some cool beats and sample your favorite mp3s by uploading then rip em apart in the FLASH based editor and make new versions and remixes. These will be saved as mp3 to play and download.
Search Google, and download after you read this, T-Player.

It is a 2-Channel mixer that is freeware and resembles a mixer board with left right identical panels. You will want to locate on your computer, a recording device. If you do not have one, search for and install a skinnable recorder called mp3Mymp3.

Another software, that resembles the mixing production at jamglue.com is also freeware. It is called Audacity but it can be very complicated. I recommend you struggle with it and learn that it will 'clean' up your most favorite recorded mixes that just need a little tweaking in sound engineering. Cleaning up the sound, etc.
