Beginer dj setup?
Beginer dj setup? Posted on: 22.06.2013 by Ok Mendo so i'm 15 and very interested in getting into dj, and i dont have a massive budget. I was believeing vestax spin 2 (i would be using it with my mac book pro, and djay), and just seeing were it goes from there. any thoughts. I would be mostly mixing reggae and hip hop if it makes a difference.This is what i did with just software, and yes i know it's terrible: https://soundcloud.com/thepowderpigr...y-first-mix-up | |

Also after you get a hang of DJ'ing you might want to be able to do more then you can do with Djay and that time I'm quite sure most other software will have a mapping file for the CMD Studio 4. |

| Hipolito Scionti 23.06.2013 | 4a yes |
| Kellie Myrum 24.06.2013 | Especially if you want to practice manual beat matching. 4A has nice long 14-bit pitch faders. |
| Margaretta Hebenstreit 23.06.2013 | agree with the cmd controller. as far as your mixing goes: focus on your transitions rather than trying to do tricks like scratching etc for now. you can always add that later. Djay is a good software to start with, nothing wrong with that. learn on your laptop until you get your gear. |

| Hank Guidas 23.06.2013 | Not sure a hotcake will sell better than a cold cake. It really depends on the type of cake. @ OP. You could also look for second hand gear. Like pioneer cdj 400s and a mixer. Those cdjs take USB. You can't connect them to your pc though afaik. |
