CDJ or Vinyl lessons?

CDJ or Vinyl lessons?
Posted on: 05.03.2011 by Tu Alonzi
Vinyl is $35 a half hour, $65 for a full hour
CDJ is $400 for 3 one-and-a-half hour lessons (you have to pay upfront)
My setup is a S4 + Windows 7 Laptop

So, I guess my question really is: In your opinion, should I take CDJ or vinyl lessons, or just not take lessons at all?

If you are going to have lessons I would go for lessons in production so you have a better understanding of music

Also the prices you put up are stupdily exspensive and you would not be getting value for money.

go buy a pair of turntables and learn that way. Loads of free online tutorials and then its just practise practise practise
yeah, unless you are rich and have money to literally throw away I wouldn't do it.

In all seriousness youtube is by far the best place to learn techniques. There are great DJTT videos, dubspot has some interesting stuff and if you are a complete beginner you could probably spend months absorbing all the videos out there. Reading the S4 manual cover to cover and buying a copy of Ean's S4 dvd would also be a good move.

The other advice is to figure out what you want play and practice, practice, practice.

The very very last piece of advice is, when you have questions spend some time searching these community s before posting something. People will be more inclined to share their expertise on new, valid questions versus the 309th post about "how do I record on Traktor?" (For instance).
