Need help

Hey Rick! Do really want to start out with a CDJ set up? You could buy a controller like the S2 and get the same or even more out of it for less money (That’s the digital way though).
For the music you should check out youtube and look for songs that you like and buy them at websites like http://www.beatport.com or get them from iTunes. Another great website for music is http://www.soundcloud.com. You can find all kinds of music there and some songs are even for free and you can download them from the website.
I would buy something like the Reloop RHP-10 Headphone if you want some headphones that aren’t very expensive.
For your “home set up” you can use speakers that you already have at home. If you want to buy something only for the bedroom you could look at the Reloop ADM5 or the M-Audio AV40’s.

PS: Hurry up if you want to buy the S2. It’s on sale until March 31st and Traktor Pro2 is included. So your entire bedroom set up would cost about 610 Euros. Maybe add 40 Euros for some decent songs to start out.

That’s a tough question Rick, what are you looking to mix? Decide that before reading the advice part to this answer. Do you want to be a HipHop DJ, EDM DJ, Polka DJ?

Most of the songs within genre tend to group up in BPM clusters. If you wanted to be a house DJ, get a bunch of house songs with similar (but not identical!) BPMs. I say similar, because you’ll want to be able to practice beatmatching (defeats the purpose if everything is 128BPM).

If all you want to do is practice, I’d find a website like Beatport which has charts to go of. Want 20 electrohouse songs? Why not get Beatport’s top20 electrohouse songs from February?

Try to find songs that have long intro/outros so you have less pressure to mix in/mix out within a small (8 bar) timeframe.

Nothing wrong with starting with CDJs, in fact if you can afford it it’s a good way to learn, as much as people like to fight it CDJ/Turntables & a Mixer are going to be the standard in clubs for a little while yet.

One thing tho dude is I’d do a little more research into EDM (Electronic Dance Music) Find out what you like, get some tunes, read forums, basically just make sure this is for you before you put up the cash. Are you even aware of the basics of mixing yet?
