| It really doesn't take much to start. Most of the money I spent was after I had been DJing for years and on production equipment. |

When I was 13/14, I used to be in charge of refilling the Coca Cola machines at my school. All of the good kids were asked to do a "job" like that; that was mine. I'd have to collect the money and fill up the machine. Everyday for like a schoolyear, I'd take $1 or $2 out of the $2-300 the machine had daily.
Eventually I had about $200. I bought two belt-drive Geminis, and a mixer (doesn't have a name) from a crackhead on my block for $150 (no joke!)... Best part is I still use this mixer to this day. Playing on equipment for years makes everything else seem... well, easy.
:haha: |

i used to play around with traktor circa 2002. then i got hired to play at bars, small parties, etc.
then i left to europe, i played some more, bought my equipment and now i make good money out of it.
:)
tip: work for your stuff, you'll value what you have to greater levels than he who just told dad "hey i want a dj equipment". for me, there was also a struggle to demonstrate my parents how my "hobby" would benefit my "career", and in some ways it did, but i was just playing the game, |

I have to say that Zild is right, you should learn how to prioritize. getting a good education is important, strive to earn that engineering degree, doctorate, lawyer deg. etc. if you're good at something, you'll be good at that for as long as you tap on it, but don't let it overshadow other goals you may have.
if you can find a profession that will be profitable and give you security, while also satisfying your desire to be involved with music, the better - but, for the most of us, sacrifices must be made. you can't have it all.
