I have a friend who calls himself a dj, he tells people he's a dj..........im like dude you dont have any gear

lol

while talkin w/ friends, whenever he mentions that he is a dj...ask him to give everyone a mix tape.

or try and get him a spot at a party, and see what he does.

OMG @ HyPeRSoNiC & Acid Johns posts

make the bastard go on the dance floor and rip it

lmfao i agree with whom ever said dont wait your time with them but i dont have this problem 1 being all the people i chill with are ravers 2nd most of them either are DJ's or they are learning so i try to keep myself in the inverment i like by have people they share the same intrest as me thus being im a DJ so i try to keep people that are well imformed about this anchent art

lol

he's a little more of the pain I'm going through... I have a sister 3 years younger than me, and she was once in a classroom full of the stupidest people you'll ever meet!!!
so 2 of them think they're pro DJ's (I hve to mention they're both in 8th grade)...
1 of them keeps calling me and bothering me in the street and tells him that he talked to alot of famous DJ's and they told him that you can't go pro with CD's (referring to me... I spin CD's) and then he starts babbling about scratching and professional effects and mixes (that's the part I stop listening to him and just go "yeah, uh huh" every 5 seconds)... and talks with me about DJ gear (that he has no clue about)...

and the 2nd one (still, reminding you ppl that we're talking about a kid in 8th grade)... he told me that I'm a crappy DJ (he never heard me spin) and that I got crappy equipment... and that he's got 2 technics weels and he spins in clubs (8TH GRADE KID!!!)... and the funny part is I talked to a friend of mine who knows him, and he told me that the little smurf has an old Denon double CD player, and a crappy, half broken 9 channel studio mixer....... yeah, he's definately the next Tiesto!!!

this thread is hillarious!

i got a buddy who has a radio shack "mixer" crosffader is so stiff you need both hands to move it, there is no EQ or cueing.

he also has two "turntables" a sony one, and a kenwood, both belt driven with little dials to adjust the pitch.

he's also a "DJ"

But, i must point out one thing. the equipment does not make the DJ!

take a look at DJ dawns setup:


and he's probably one of the best known DJs that posts on here.

tell me how you can mix without a pitch control on that setup for the sony?
