NotYourAverageHero commented on 27 Jan 2012

What if you want to make music like Daft Punk. I don't know if their considered DJS but yeah. Im thinking Microkorg, Kaosspad, anddd a program on the computer but what els?

ThisNameIsAFail commented on 05 Mar 2012

@NotYourAverageHero Daft Punk are Electronic Music Producers all you need for that is a music production software like FL Studio, Ableton, Logic Pro, And such :)

NotYourAverageHero commented on 05 Mar 2012

@ThisNameIsAFail thanks man :D im saving up for Logic pro. lately ive been practicing DJing with Dj programs nd I got that part but i gonna make my own beats :)

Howzine commented on 02 Feb 2013

Mostly, sound distribution, two speakers rather than one has a much wider range of sound for your outing.

Cheeks BeSippin commented on 26 Jun 2012

does the dr dre beats audio laptop come with a dj software ?

Question: I am just starting djing..I'm 15. I've been doing lights and sound at a local theatre for 3 years now and have most technical knowledge down...one thing I do not is power consumption. I just recently bought the Chauvet SF-9005 "dumb light" controller. I have 4 1000w par 64s that I usually used for a chasing wash light...the controller is rated 575w per channel I think...this is in the u.s. where we use 110-120v. Just wondering if I could overload 4 channels and not use the other 4

DJ Scottdog commented on 13 Aug 2012

i agree the sound system is the most important part , cos you can buy a couple off lights and stick them on the table next to your decks and your first few gigs will pay for good lights

kierenmgp commented on 27 May 2015

I have 2 skytec 200W speakers, Do you think i should get 2 Subs to sit on the floor or will 2 skytec 200W speakers be good enough?

TheDrDilligaff commented on 12 Aug 2012

So if one were starting off, how much money in your opinion should he be willing to put on the table for speakers and lights?

L Gonzalez commented on 21 Oct 2012

@aspirnwallstudios Its doesnt matter just make sure u run on different plugs i wouldnt try it to that controoller

Joe | JLDJUK commented on 13 Aug 2012

I would say at the very minimum £200. That would get you a light stand and a couple of lights

Michael harper commented on 18 Aug 2012

I'm finding with more of your videos I watch the more creeped out I am that you never blink.

Art Sanchez commented on 13 Aug 2012

Clinton Buhr commented on 12 Jun 2013

The Capsule is a great piece of kit for a 19" mixer (or controller that fits) and lighting controls. I had a Hercules DMX with rack ears, sc8 switchpack and a laptop stand on one before I upgraded my kit. It held up well getting tossed around a little but the weight of the controller did make me a little nervous as the screws self-tap in to plastic (no metal rail) and the padded cover provides minimal protection. I was very happy with it though and I couldn't have made an adequate case for less.

Terence Djtee commented on 12 Jun 2013

Ha Mike, This was my suggestion maybe you should get into Dj case's , This type of case was put out by Gator and later copy's follow, but Its great you would give it a try , But these are great for one thing , being light but on the other hand They don't protect your Dj device es from transport. I not really putting it down , there great for rack light switches if you need all that , but I hope you did not buy many of them sell, but what do I know.. ?? anyway.. like your video

iNeEdLiGhTs1 commented on 16 Jun 2013

I have noticed more sound materials in the background of your videos. Are you getting different varieties of sound equipment? BTW my guess today is 190

Manuel Benitez commented on 13 Jun 2013

Hey Mike, there's many videos of you dropping a light, but I've never seen one were you've dropped the COFFEE. Must save the coffee! LOL

Djcris96 commented on 12 Jun 2013

I actually said Vinyl is dying, not that it is dead, I didn't say that it was not pressed anymore, the volume has decreased and so has the interest in it. Jazzy Jeff and Grandmaster Flash started DJing when vinyl was the only format available, and they have become so accustom to that format so they won't leave it. BUT for new DJs, the answer is to use what will be most benficial to themselves not other DJs, CDs are the way foward whether u like it or not, a good DJ can use ALL formats available.

Nrgised commented on 18 Nov 2008

Yet another useless and out of date response. I used to use Vinyl records b4 2005, playin in commercial venues, I needed access to music faster & a wide range of genres, vinyls are no good in these circumstances. Dont even attempt to lecture me on being a DJ, Ive been there and got t-shirt, judging from your responses u dont have any idea of what it is really like. But by advise stands to anyone interested in being a DJ, use CDs and think of your equipment as an investment for the future.

FishboneInChilltown commented on 22 Dec 2011

@GAGFEST2000 If you DEADMAU5, or what is on the radio, then re-think your passion & dedication to becoming a DJ. What is on the radio, (i.e. electronic music in relation to DEADMAU5 or LMFAO) is just a mainstream, corporate, close minded view on the art of DJ'ing. those artists are making and mixing music with the intention of creating a generic form of sound that will please as many people as possible, and make as much money as possible, getting them as popular as possible.

FishboneInChilltown commented on 22 Dec 2011

@GAGFEST2000 (part 2) Thats not what being a DJ is about really. Its about creating and mixing sound into a creation of your own. Something unique to your expressions. And If your serious about DJ'ing, I strongly suggest you research into some of the true roots; the underground scene of electronic bass music. These artists are what should be credited with the fame and fortune... without their creativity and dedication, the bass music scene we know today would not be existant.

Nrgised commented on 04 Nov 2008

Why are people even talking about such equipment on this videos comments, the actually point of the video, is discussing the first steps to being a bedroom DJ, so to be honest talking about 1210's and CDJ1000s is a bit stupid. CDs are not inferior to vinyl records at all! If that was the case why are labels pressing fewer and fewer records? Vinyl records are dying, and no matter what you say they will eventually be phased out. I think you should join the 21st century.

MonteLSV6 commented on 18 Jan 2011

Your uploads are pretty cool, thanks for posting them! :) I just picked up a Numark Mixtrack with Traktor LE Software. I'm going to pick up some computer speakers , headphones and then an external sound card so I can cue the music. I dont think that this a bad setup for a beginner and someone that just wants to DJ at local parties or something. There's these two nobs on my controller..."Cue Gain" and "cue mix" can anyone tell me how they work?

Nrgised commented on 17 Nov 2008

I cant believe you are still harping on with your nonsense. I was questioning why people were discussing EXPENSIVE / TOP OF THE RANGE equipment. This video is for people thinking of becoming DJs and not breaking the bank. Vinyls = About £7, (and they are been phased out) digital formats from 79p, theres no contest! Your arguement is flawed, ignorant of facts and pointless, dont bother wasting any more of my time or your own. BYE!

crazyskier537 commented on 13 Jun 2009

alright. Im 13 too n my dad owns a event company. I would say this video isn't that basic, although the setup is really bad. If you have an ipod or small cd player connect it DIRECTLY to a power amplifier, which can be picked up online for a couple hundred. Then use a BANANNA cable to connect from amp to speakers. One side will be 1/4 inch, the other will have 2 prongs, one will be red, one black. Be carefu dont get them mixed up!

Sweaper1984 commented on 08 Oct 2008

I've Started with 2 TT, BCD2000 mixer and a notebook. PC Djing is noch good for practice (but for enyoing) because there are too many helps in the program. Even in the worst one you can get. So i can learn djing with the TT and having fun with the notebook. (at) Jonathan: I realy like watching your vids, they are a great help. Without them i've had never spend a thought about DJing. keep on man. Sorry for my bad english.

Nrgised commented on 04 Nov 2008

I never mentioned anything to do with high end equipment, I think you should try reading peoples comments properly. If vinyl turntables are so popular can you explain why Luminar Leisure (biggest nightclub owner in the UK) are ripping turntables out of their clubs left right and centre. So you join you little group, you'll find you are the only one in it sooner or later....thats what I call end of. In a bit

alextg1991 commented on 12 Jan 2009

i mix drum n bass, and vinyl is not dying at all. i can see what u mean...but to mix drum and bass the only format for me is vinyl. cd are piss to use...u have a beat match button...there is no skill involved at all...vinyl is true skill and i respect anyone who is on vinyl. by the way do not get numark tt1610 for mixing, u want to get direct drives. the numark battlepack is fine for mixing.

BalloonSoldier commented on 20 Nov 2009

Yea, but you need a computer interface module. The best, IMO is the Rane Serato Scratch Live. It connects your set up to your computer, gives you the ability to mix MP3s and also provides you with LOTS more effects and such. It isnt cheap though, itll run you around $500. There are cheaper ways, but the cheaper you do it, the crappier it will be and will be detrimental to your learning.

crazyskier537 commented on 13 Jun 2009

dude dont use speakon. Very cheap setup. get the bose 802 series for $2800, its a great deal. Plus you didnt mention anything aabout subwoofers, which completely adds the need for a crossover, which adds the need for more cables. Bananna cables which you would need 3 of r like 20 bucks for 25 feet. Im lucky cus i already have this stuff so i dont need to go out n buy anyting.

sebadoby96 commented on 14 Jul 2011

hey J im kinda new to dj stuff but if i buy a behringer eurolive b212d PA and a pioneer dj controller do i need another mixer or can i just plug in the PA`s inte the inbuilt mixer from the controller? and im also wondering if i dont have the controller and dont have a mixer can I still play music whith my PA`s connected to an ipod or another source? please need answer :)

Paavi20 commented on 09 Sep 2009

My DJ mates say that the age of CDs is slowly out. So using software with a controller makes sense. It might be also easier to buy directly downloadable tunes from online shops than to order a physical copy (on CD or vinyl) and just hope and see if it arrives or not... It's not about what you use, it's all about how you use it!

bastahous commented on 17 May 2009

can you connect another brand of mixer and cd player to the software (pioneer), (stanton cd player and behringer 4 line mixer). and about the KAM turntables, i've noticed they're cheaper than other turntables (there's a KAM pack with 2 turntables and a mixer) so do you advice me to buy KAM? Is it good quality? thx in advance

thegwd commented on 12 Sep 2009

Someone made a comment about going towards the software, and I think a DJ can play music straight off a hard drive on the CDJ, but I don't approve of software synching beats, unless you have like 4 channels going, then you prolly need the help. I'll just say no picture you see in an art gallery was made in photoshop :)

BalloonSoldier commented on 20 Nov 2009

Not really. A usable DJ set up is going to cost some money. The more money you spend, the better the equipment will be, and the more you'll learn. If you go cheap, youll get a belt driven plastic hunk of junk and youll spend more time and money just trying to make it sound good instead of DJing.

bastahous commented on 17 May 2009

I dont recommend the TOTAL CONTROL. It bugs after a certain time (i started to be a dj with that) and its not really DJing because u cant beatmatch with the jog wheel (its not precise enough). If ur looking for midi = uc 33 or alen and heath To start, the OMNI CONTROL from NUMARK is good too..

Swagger Hole commented on 28 Jun 2012

Although I don't really like deadmau5 much, I have to disagree with you saying that he's "corporate" or "mainstream". He started like tons of other producers making beats in his bedroom, and it took plenty of time before he was noticed. I gotta give him credit where it's due.

cozzie49 commented on 20 Apr 2009

i have a numark totalcontrolpc MIDIviaUSB mixer and use it with virtual dj. wayyy better than burning 1000 cds and cheaper than cd units (obviously not as good but they do the same job, but take up less room). i recommend this for any bedroom dj with not much space

James M commented on 31 Oct 2010

i'm thinking of taking it up as a hobby, but i know pretty much nothing about DJing, so i been lookin on the net for info and stuff and i saw the USB controllers. Are they any good? cos i only really got mp3's and the whole vinal set up looks too expensive

JON ATION commented on 02 Jan 2012

its all about understanding genres , and being creative with not necessarily the same styles but building jigsaws with what vinyl you have amassed , linking similar tracks and making it sound interesting, I prefer to keep my styles together tho.

tubegamesproductions commented on 27 Jun 2009

also, can you listen to a deck that's not playing? i've only used an icue, and with that, there's a PFL button for listening to deck 2 well deck 1 is playing (for beatmatching) can you do that with a setup of vinyl turntables and a basic mixer?

youtubesurfer commented on 26 Oct 2008

Thanks, that's what i thought on the first place. I was a bit confused by friends urging me buying vinyl turntables, since CDJ can provide a lot of better functions and easy access. Any recommendations on CDJ? any reviews on PIONEER CDJ1000MK3?

GAGFEST2000 commented on 07 Dec 2011

Wow... This is exactly what I was looking for :D I still don't know if I should just mix music or be a little more like Deadmau5 and make my own... Or am I wrong? I don't know anything about any other DJs rather than the ones on the radio!

Sammy Goris commented on 08 Apr 2010

Is there anyway i can plug my mixer into my home theater unit? My one doesn't have a 3.5mm music port, but does (obviously) have the RCA(I think its rca?) red white and yellow inputs, as used for most tv inputs ps2, xbox etc. Cheers!

xaviermoyssen commented on 03 Jun 2009

what is the most basic and affordable set up that i can find, i don't need a super fancy equipment to play in a club, because im 13... but i would like to learn a few BASICS for dj's, gimme sugestions the most basic and affordable

TheGreat TimeTraveler commented on 30 Jun 2011

i really just started getting into dj'ing is it a bad thing that my turntables dont even match? lol and do i have to use my computer, because my turntables dont have a usb port and my pc isnt here please respond thank you

Bill Ruggz commented on 19 Jul 2012

@vthvueo yep i agree I was desperately searching for a nice software to compose killer beats. But the software which are used to make killer trance is been public now. get the best one here -> bit.ly/Oms3DR?=xaovld
