the amount of clueless twats posting in this thread is ridiculous. djing is not "a piece of piss". if you want to be a good DJ its actually very hard to perfect a mix, to perfect your sound, and generally be different. it takes years of practice to be able to DJ to a standard that you are used to hearing in a liveset.

ignore this thread. if you want serious advice, go to the dj booth forum ( http://www.tranceaddict.com/forums/...hp?s=&forumid=8 ), don't listen to the shite posted in here.

Originally posted by Citizen X First of all every every dj will have a different style no matter what, second of all you definitely don’t need years of practice, all you need to learn is beatmatching(very easy), decent track selection, and you also need to have a minimum iq of 60 to know where to start the transition. What you said is more or less correct for someone who wants to have perfect mixing. But what is perfect mixing? Everyone has a different opinion on that. Have you seen threads like “Which dj has the best mixing skills”, did everyone mention the same dj, obviously not, because its all a matter of taste. Out of a million people who listen to EDM and regularly go to concerts only like 0.001% care about the mixing, let alone little sound details that you are talking about. Most people just like to get drunk and dance to good tracks preferably mixed by a dj who they have seen on tv or in various surveys like djmag. Making perfect mixes with absolutely no mistakes is totally different from being famous. You have no idea how corrupt the road to fame is. You think Tiesto became famous because of his mixing and production skills? Obviously not, take some communication and marketing classes and you will find out how its done in the real world. His name was being circulated everywhere possible, I even saw a show on CNN about Tiesto. Today people will go to see him even if he doesn’t mix his tracks, even if he plays shitty tracks, because he is Tiesto. If you don’t agree with what I said than good luck staying a shitty bedroom dj your whole life, and have fun doing what you like. I know a dj who can’t mix for shit, but he got a residence in a club just because there was a tv show about him, and how did he get on the tv show when he can’t mix, the answer is simple, his dad works there. And a final note here, the only hard thing about starting djing is buying the equipment because its expensive.

Would I assume correctly that you either: Don't dj at all, or have never djed a decent venue in your life?

Originally posted by 241403066283 Hi: Well I am going to start as well and Ill be needing allot of help here, But what I want to actually do is start with the really basic and normal set and then when I got used to some skills and found my way around Djing and actually became someone who understands what it takes to be a Dj in 1-2 years I get a real and proper kit, So basically what I am asking for here is can anyone tell me/us what a good enough really basic gear can be to START it off!!! I’ve done a little search on the net and found some deals which don’t look that bad. Was wondering if you could check them out and let me know what you think of them, because I went looking for technics Turntables first and I found it abet 2 much to start with! But maybe I am wrong, guide me! Check these deals out please: http://www.decks.co.uk/products/pac...xmaster2package Was thinking this for speakers: http://www.decks.co.uk/products/pac...ks/x1_gsm12_kit But this one seems to include them all with less power in speakers and built in amp but hell allot cheaper!!! http://www.decks.co.uk/products/pac...eginners?show=3 But again was thinking we can get the speaker and amp sets second hand really cheaper, don’t you think? Because they are what actually double the price!!! Waiting on your reply, Oh by the way this is my first post in here, so HI

Even though they cost more, get some technics. It's better to spend the money now and not have to replace them later. It will be a hell of a lot easier for you to learn with consistent, quality decks. There is nothing I hate more than to show up at some lame house party, get asked to play, and they have some belt-driven NuMark tables. You queue the record and it hesitates before it starts spinning. Annoying.

I would think you are correct in making that assumption.

...I'll be back for breakfast

well to be honest I done a little search on the internet for Technics and they are a bit to expensive to start I would say, well for the budget I got at least, they kind of are out of my league for now, I only want to start with something reliable and OK till I get to know more about DJing then spend a big money on a proper set after a year or 2!
By the sound of it you all agree that I shouldn’t be considering Numark!!!
Take a little trip to www.decks.co.uk/ or any other good websites that you know of (leave the link please) and let me know what would be your second/third choices???
Thanks!
