ParticipantYes the speakers are the sound source.
ParticipantExcellent write up.

I am not understanding the differences in genres of genres. Like house music, then progressing house, techno house, est… does it really matter? how can i educate myself more about the difference?
Totally agree with this one!
The one I think is key is what equipment should be used when starting out (a topic I know is going to be widely subject to debate on this forum) and the key benefits of each system.
June 5, 2012 at 11:44 am in reply to: Would you find a guide to using CDJs & "pro" gear useful? #1005670ParticipantI think I can give an answer from a noobie perspective…
Firstly, the way I perceive people to generally start in DJing is to go on the internet and compare the different types of equipment with one another and then choose what they believe to be the best option available to them according to their budget, style of music and type of DJing.
If there is some sort of document out there that compares both the pros and cons of each type (CDJs, Vinyl and Digital), it will allow people to make much more of an informed decision as to what is best for them, as I have personally found that I have had to really dig for information without it all being in one place.
I know personally that I will eventually want to move onto CDJs when I start getting gigs and have learned the basics via digital equipment and thus it would be a good starting point for people who, as I have seen recently, want to move up or over to the CDJ platform.
Just my 2 cents 🙂

So i guess my point is…Underground scene is all about mixing…Commercial Mainstream Scene about The Song Selection
No further from the truth there my man! In mainstream clubs these days people go to hear songs they know which they can sing and dance to with their mates, whilst probably being slightly intoxicated. They couldn’t care less how the song is mixed as long as it it doesn’t alter their ability to dance, hence why a good blend is required.
With underground house/garage etc, the people go to the events JUST for the music, most probably don’t drink an awful lot and care only about the the obscure tunes that are played, along with how they are mixed.
ParticipantSo much hatin’! Everyone DJ’s using different gear so each to their own. Does it really matter what you use as long as you are performing as well as you can!!

I’m taking time off from the screen so I can’t cheat myself by using it. Maybe 6-12 months from now when I feel I’ve got it, I’ll use the screen again, and all the features the software adds to your performance/experience.
So I guess you can say I’m not leaving digital djing, just taking a hiatus so I can fill the gaps in my skills, then I’ll be back.
Nice idea man! Learning the traditional techniques is always a good idea!
ParticipantI would opt for the second option!! Take your DJ gear with you and maybe you can land some gigs on your travels!
ParticipantI have nothing but good reviews regarding the Alesis M1 Active speakers coming in at just under £80 for the pair! Maybe worth a look at:
ParticipantIf you play in a club that only has CDJ’s, you will need to be able to manually beatmatch else your mixes will be completely out of sync (No pun intended).
