Beginners guide to DJ'ing
Things to consider when starting out as a DJ:
- What type of DJ will you be - Mobile Disco DJ or Club/Bar DJ? If becoming a Mobile DJ you will need a larger cross section of music as you will be catering to the tastes of many mixed audiences. If becoming a Club/Bar DJ you may be able to focus on one specific form of music.
- Try out on a friends or community centres equipment first to see if you like it before you commit to any large expenditure.
- Equipment to consider:
- Record players (decks) or CD mixers. Technics 1200/1210 are the industry standard for record decks and Numark CDN 88’s for CD mixing are also good.
- A mixer
- Amplifiers and Speakers
- Head phones
- Microphone
Make sure your first gig goes smoothly by:
- Making a note of the equipment you will need on the night.
- Turning up early if you are using the venues equipment to make sure you know how to use it.
