Ready to leave your virtual DJ sets and jump to real-life spinning and scratching? Are you a beginner in the world of deejaying? Fear not, starting can seem daunting, especially if you’ve been binging on pro DJ videos. It almost makes you wonder if you will ever be that good. Well, as goes for everything, practice makes perfect, and the journey begins with purchasing a great DJ set from Pioneer DJ. Let’s look at a couple of other things you need to consider.

1. Your Set up

As I already mentioned, you need to get your DJ equipment from a trusted supplier. Being a DJ involves more than just playing songs. You need to structure your mix, and tailor it to the audience you will be performing to. You can invest in a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 studio pack 3rd gen to enhance your performance.

2. Analogue or Digital

The analogue (traditional) DJ setups involve using the direct drive turntables and playing vinyl records. The truth is, this kind of set up requires a little bit more experience in the craft. If it’s your first gig, you might want to go with the digital set up. The learning curve is smaller. All you need to master is the beat-match transition which is easier when you have a BPM counter and a software system.

3. Mixing software package

Some programs read any format of music and are significant to select songs through a computer program interface. They enable you to access your library of songs which you can use to compliment your vinyl and CD selections. They also provide the signature DJ live looping and scratching capabilities.

4. Be economical

If you’re not careful, purchasing this equipment can run you dry. Spend carefully on what you need for the moment but what you should never do is compromise on the quality. You can do without a mic on the first gig. Slowly, you can save up until you can afford that Shure beta 58a.

Becoming a great DJ starts with a positive state of mind. Take your time to master the craft, and before you know it, you’ll be booking gigs more than you could ever imagine. Take it slow.
