Are you starting out as a DJ? You’ll need to gear up then. It is essential to make an informed decision when looking to buy equipment because you can be sure that they do not come cheap. There are many different hardware and software options in the market today that make it confusing to decide on one. Make sure that purchasing that CDJ Pioneer is what you want and need. Here are some tips that will help inform you of the choice you decide to go with.
1. Your set-up needs
Keep your working space in mind when selecting your DJ equipment. If you don’t have much space, then getting a small DJ controller makes more sense. You also want to be comfortable when you’re mixing and not spend so much time setting up your gear to get started. A small sized controller is also efficient if you need to go out with it on gigs now and then.
2. Medium
Digital DJ-ing is the most convenient way to go about most gigs. As much as some MP3s may make people cringe, you are not limited to MP3s. Some DJs employ creativity in their skill by recording other artists working on musical instruments such as the Yamaha PSR-E463 or Yamaha PSR-E363. Virtual DJ equipment and software support WAV file playback, so the only problem you need to worry about is a hard drive to accommodate your entire library.
3. Your budget
For most beginners, the budget is the determining factor. Unless you have a lot of money to spend, an entry-level DJ controller is your best option. Try to spend as much as you can. You don’t have to buy all the equipment at once; you can spend on the controller, then save up some more and invest in that Shure beta 58a at a later date. The important thing here is not to compromise on the quality of your equipment. Cheap is expensive in the long run.
The blend of equipment you finally have always come down to your needs. Many people buy gear without first assessing their needs and end up having to spend more because they bought the wrong thing. Also, purchase from trusted suppliers such as Reloop to ensure quality and also servicing if you ever need it.
