Buying Equipment
When you first start out on your path to become a DJ, you will need to thi
nk about what kind of equipment you want. This is a very important part of being a DJ as the equipment you choose now can make all the difference, if you are just starting out and are working on a budget, than there are some pieces of equipment that will serve you very well, as you will see in this book. There are so many ways of mixing today and finding the right one for you is very important, whether you want turntables and a mixer which is connected to your home stereo, which is how many top DJ’s actually started and is the choice for many others. Maybe a CD mixer is right for you as you may not have a large selection of vinyl available to you, although there are still DJ shops around and are still doing very well with their vinyl market. If you do have a large collection of CD’s then this may be the best option for you, unless you want both which is a very good idea but can be costly if you are on a budget.
