Matt Harty So much for being a DJ

Anonymous Wreck showed me this neat thing called Final Scratch that stores mp3s, then uses special records to spin them. You never need to change the records until they die and all your music is in one neat lil box.

Headphones and if you're really anal, your own cartridges/needles, your records/cds, and time is all you need to play out. Depending on where you want to play, you can invest money into the hobby as you need to. To date, all I own are a pair of Sony MDJ700s (now starting to wear out after 2 years of heavy use), a pair of Shure carts and a few hundred records.

As far as where to start, find someone with turntables or cd mixers that you can practice on. Until you know you're serious, there is no good reason to dump six hundred to a grand into equipment, when that money will go much further in buying records.

If you do decide to go with CDs, most clubs should be equpieed to handle you, but many mobile gigs would need you to bring your own CD mixers. No mobile gig should ever ask you to supply the turntables.

For you, personally, if you were willing to spend a bit of cash on equipment, your best bet would be to get a couple solid CDJs like the Pioneer CDJ100. They run about 300 bux each, and you'd still need a mixer, but you could play with those on a home sound system to practice, or use them in a mobile gig set-up, and you can play your own tunes on them a lot easier than getting vinyl cut, that's for damn sure.

whoreable my friend jsut has 2 turntables a crossfader and some headphones and has it hooked into his home stereo....just enough stuff to learn how to spin..

although I really know nothing about it I would suggest to jsut buy some cheap tables and fader to start with I wouldnt blow so much money on really expensive stuff...see if you even like it...

I pretty much sucked at it when I tried, but I guess it was kinda fun to fuck with for a while :/

Anonymous I don't know a single person that spins Dancemania/Dancemaniax/DDR.

SkepticalTesticle Give up while your ahead. You'll never be a dj and you'll spend the rest of your life in staines! NEVR! What the fuck is the point anyways, you'll just be another dumbass spinning the same records as everyone else. Just because you can drop a beat in a different place or tweak the eq to make those cool sounds...

Anonymous Don't know how I can explain it better...I included the original version of the song and then the version I made, which is shortened and rearranged for DDR.

But anyway, I want to spin live and make my own music at home too.

Matt Harty I used to scratch my records on my record player when I was little. I saw it on home video.
