I would say, download the free trial version of the software. I would recommend either Traktor or Serato as these are the two most commonly used and it will be easier for you to find help on blogs and other DJ’s that can give you advice.
Secondly, I highly recommend Phil’s “How to Digital DJ Fast” series of tutorials, they’re absolute gold.
Last, I can fully appreciate where you’re coming from, I’m totally self taught and didn’t really know any DJ’s at the time to point me in the right direction, so there was a lot of trial and error and times when I thought where it just wasn’t going to happen but if you have the passion and stick with it it all comes with time and practice.
Oh and don’t be afraid to ask lots questions no matter how basic you think they are. There’s heaps of DJing forums and DDJT is a great place with guys like D-Jam, Softcore & Phil with heaps of experience who are always happy to offer advice.
Good luck !
WoW !!! Thanks for your time , I am watching “How to Digital DJ Fast”, just getting out there and getting my feet wet. So frustrating when you have all these ideas of how you want to mix, intergrate, and play with sounds but lacking in the tech department ! uuurrrghhhhhh , thanks again for your time 🙂
