Mp3 Dj Equipment
What beginner DJ equipment should I buy and do I need to take a class to learn how to DJ?
I just went to a concert (bfd) and saw DJ A.M., Mastercraft, and Moby, and I was amazed how much fun it was. Now, I’m interested in getting into DJing as a hobby, but I don’t know where to start or what equipment to buy. What kind of equipment should I buy (i.e. turntables), for a reasonable price and that I can (preferably) play using songs off my computer or mp3 player? And, can I teach myself how to start mixing or is it worth while to take a class on DJing?
Man DJ AM is THE MAN. I love him, he’s like my idol in djing!!
Ok so get into Djing if you trully have a passion for music, not because it’s cool being a dj. So, I don’t know what music genres you’re into but you must basically know everything about every good song of the latest 10 to 20 years (or more depending on the music genre). And ALWAYS manage to have the newest stuff. Once you’ve got the music, you’ve got maybe 40 to 50% at least of the job done. Believe me, you can be an incredible mixer, scratcher, but if people don’t like the music, they will not dance and therefore will not be happy. So after that you gotta get yourself some dj gear. I would suggest sticking to turntables if you’re into Hip-hop/R&B and cd players if you’re into House/Techno. Other than that, get a small package (where you get 2 turntables/cd players, a mixer and a pair of headphones) to start with. And start practicing, and practicing. Practice as much as you can. And once you think you’re starting to become good at it, practice some more. That’s how you should get started. Then once you think you’re ready to start djing at some parties, contact me and I’ll help you out!!
And no, taking classes is like 80% useless because it’s all about practicing. Though maybe you can take like 1 or 2 classes just so they’ll show you how a song is built (32 bars, BPM) and like how you plug a turntable with a mixer. But take my advice: use that money to get yourself better gear once you improved.
Welcome to your new hobby!
