subject: Beginner Dj Equipment: How To Choose [print this page] Learning something new always presents a challenge.
DJing is no different.
But before you can start learning, you're going to need equipment to practice on.
For someone who doesn't yet know the trade, it's hard to know what DJ equipment to buy. Equipment can be expensive, and for many, it's hard to lay out a lot of cash for something you know little about.
On the flip side, you want to learn things right the first time and you want solid beginner DJ equipment that gives you room to grow, teaches you the correct habits and skills, and provides you the best bang for your buck.
So who do you ask for guidance in choosing the best beginner DJ Equipment?
There's no substitute for visiting (or calling) a DJ shop if that's a possibility for you. Doing so will give you an opportunity to look at different beginner DJ setups while talking to an expert who can guide you based on your personal needs and budget. Plus, you might end up with a few tips to help get you started.
In some locations, there are also DJ classes, or private teachers. These experts can be another great source of information. They'll probably have good beginner DJ equipment already set up for use during training session, and this can be a great way to test out equipment before you buy.
Third, you can go online and look for reviews. Online reviews of beginner DJ equipment can be a great way to get pressure free advice from the comfort of home. While this is the most convenient option, you do lose the ability to look at, and try out the equipment.
Finally, DJ forums can be another good source of information. A number of online forums exist where DJs "hang out" and answer questions posted by users. If you post a question on one of these forums, you're sure to get the input of a lot of experienced users, and some newbies as well.
While this requires registration, it may be a great starting point before you walk into a store.
