DJ's

[ggirlballa]

i have become very curious about DJ's lately:confused: and i'm considering learning how to DJ:eek: . so can any Dj's here give me some tips for a beginner. i don't care if u start talking like a know-it-all but just give me some tips or facts that a curious person should know about equiptment, techniques, or just basic info.

oh and stupid question:o but my brother wants to know if you put a record and start scratching it. is it messed up permanetly?

Don't scratch your good records, eventually they wont play as well :mad:

get your mums ABBA and put the needle to the record.

[thegoodmrbrodie!]

it all depends. you talking about being a scratch dj? or like a house dj? or just some who likes putting on one record after another? i can only help with the last one.

[Pres Zount]

I can point you in the general direction with the first one, but nahhh.

Do you want to scratch or just beatmatch? Beatmatching is kind of easy, it's just a matter of practice, practice and practice. And patience. Even I learned to beatmatch, and believe me I can't do anything fancy with my hands.

To be a good turntablist is another story. I believe they come from somewhere else.

best thing to do is drop about $1000 on equipment (easily!) and buy about $200 dollars worth of records and try it

it's fun and addicting

here's a pic of my setup (http://s4.photobucket.com/albums/y132/rhythmfiction/?action=view&current=IM000356.jpg)
