Finding ways to Afford DJ Equipment, Help & advice needed
Posted on: 27.09.2013 by Cicely Gottfried
Hi all fellow DJs on the DJTT community !

I have been mixing since the start of summer this year. I am a Traktor user and I am in love with the Traktor Kontrol S4 Mk II. I desperately want it but I don't have the money for it yet. I can earn the money to get it by doing gigs on holidays but not a lot of people listen to the music I'm into at home. So I'm very limited then.
Another one of my best chances is by saving up what I can until black friday when it's heavily discounted and spend it then, that is if the S4 Mk II doesn't go out of stock by then. *Fingers crossed*
My last best chance is when I go to Miami for the Ultra Music Festival for 2 weeks. Since it will be spring break, there will be hundreds of parties going on and people would be asking for DJ's or just playing their iPod which I believe is dulling. Since the parties last day and evening , I will get the money very quickly but it so far away and I need a crowd that loves my type of music, and hopefully there is, pff what am I saying, of course there is.

My only problem is that I am stuck at school doing my classes and my school doesn't allow computers that are owned by me or you personaly unless given special permision and all my chances are somewhat a long time away. So I only have the holidays to do my mixing and I don't have a part time job because I basically live in the middle of no where when there is no snow. Where I am becomes a ski/snowsport resort during snowsport season.

So I am asking you guys if you have advice, help, or ways for me to earn money to afford the Traktor Kontrol S4 MK II. I would apreciate the help a lot and I really need it because it is my dream to work with music. Please help me!

Coming to this community and running your mouth whilst not responding to those who genuinely want to help you is also wrong.

Just saying...

Woah... No drug talk (either way) stay on topic. Don't wind each other up and conversely don't get wound up.

There's enough pig-tail pulling going on on this community at the moment.

Well selling meth is not exactly, what I believe of as good Idea to make money, I'm 16 I don't want to do anything that has to do with drugs, it will be very bad for me and I do not fancy going to rehab, the police office, or juvie.

Get a job and save up. Even if it's knocking round people's houses and doing shitty car washes. It's still a job and you're earning money.

My dad won't let me get limp bizkit too. i asked my friends to burn me one (i know that was when kazaa and napster were the thing here)

if you want to make money to get the s4 then get a cheaper gear and learn from it to make money. it will limit you first but it will let you get creative and develop a style that is different from others and might get you somewhere.
