I now managed to save some cash and plan to continue saving to invest in my DJing carreer, however, I have no idea what should I get next. I had some ideas though (some completely unrelated to others):
– Spend on proper and more resistant headphones and maybe some earplugs to protect my ears
– Spend on a proper PA System with two active speakers and a sub
– Spice things up and diverse from pure digital DJing by buying either a mixer with a pair of CDJs or Turntables
Obviously my budget can’t stand the 3 of them (it can barely stand one) Im really tempted onto buying the CDJs or Turntables to spice things up when the I wanna sync myself mood comes but I guess these stuff is pretty expensive.
The PA system is also expensive but it will land me probably double the gigs Im getting now and they will in the long run pay for itself faster than the other 2.
The question here is, what would YOU do? A huge question I also had is: (and i bold it so it doesnt get missed in the wall of text) Are there CDJs or Turntables where you play digital music? (You plug for example an USB and the ‘CD’ or ‘Vynil’ acts as if it had that track loaded) How much can in total cost me the PA system (not the best but not cheap, for around 100 people in an outside party)? How much will the Turntable/CD + Mixer cost me in total? (Again, not the best, just something quite good that works as an alternative to Digital DJing when Im in an analog mood) Any brands you can recommend? (For both the PA and CD/Turntable + Mixer)
Sorry for the long post, I would really really really appreciate some assistance, I didnt find any of these answers in the forums 🙁
You have everything.. spend the money on MUSIC. its so easy to get locked into checking out this piece of gear and that… etc etc… Rather than buying music and practising… it doesnt matter if you dj underground germany techno or pop… the more prepare you are the better ure set is going to be.
