I'm going to have to dj some local parties and dances soon. It's not going to be like raves, more like for schools, weddings, stuff like that. I need advice about what equipment to get. |

try buying a power-cable. I know it's a bit step, but I hear all the good DJ's uses them ;P |

You need to have a smoke machine. No mobile disco is compete without one. A Chest Wig too. Plus your patter has to finished by shouting SHABBA! at the end. |

two turntables and a mixer. any will do unless you plan to scratch and do really creative blends. but if you're starting out, don't worry about it. or if your music collection is mostly cd's, pick up a couple CDJ's.. they're surprisingly excellent. |

getting the sound equipment is pretty easy. I don't know about lighting and effects. |

I was thinking about starting with a mixer/amp combo, 2 x 15" speakers, and 2 regular cd players. Yes, shamefully, I am not a vinyl collector. I have all cds. |

me too :) well i have some vinyl but not enough to rock a whole dj set. |

if you have your stuff on mp3, use a computer, NI software, traktor dj with cd^players/turntables.... |

I think for weddings and things your really going to need a flashy system. The smoke machine I was joking about but you will need some lights and things. It's whats expected. Well it is here in England anyway. |

yeah, it will cost a pretty penny (or is it quid?). I'll have to rent some stuff until I can purchase everything I need. baby steps... |

you're going to need some loud-ass speakers/amp if you are going to be plating in school auditoriums and such.. i reccomend an absurd amount of wattage.. |
||||||||

I will build up. I don't expect much more than 200 ppl for now. In the spring it will be more. |
||||||||
|
|

|
...and when you are done plating, you will need some loud speakers when you are ready to start playing. |

I remember once DJing to a group of posh students at their end of course dinner. I only brought hard house thinking thats what students would be into... how wrong I was, all they wanted to hear was top 40 hits... lame! My mate ran home and got all his old Beatles, Madness, Rolling Stones, Kinks etc and we rocked it anyway! |

personally i like to have places cut my own music (guitar,piano, bass) on to records... this way its more your own style... but it can get expensive |
