This is one of the best tutorial for beginner regarding to DJ setup I have ever seen on any blog. Sometimes we go on buying anything without knowing anything and waste most of our money. This article is really useful specially for DJ beginner.

Thanks a lot for the tut
But I still have a question.
How do u recomend the money collection? Should it be more of 2-3 year long collection with setting aside money every now and then or would u rather recomend summer jobs?
Thanks a lot in advance

Thanks Tiger!

I started BDJ for that specific reason, I hated how I had to hunt down so much info on DJing. I wanted to share what I know with everyone all in one place so they didn't have to do the same.

It's readers like you that really put a smile on my face

This is the most accurate and bottom line the best “Tutorial” ive seen online, and that includes some ive seen on forums for DJs. I will use this now, to guide others when they inquire about equipment recommendations for becoming a DJ. This guide is perfect, IMO.
Thanks for taking the time put it together for myself and others.
Excellent job.

When I began writing the equipment guide it was reaching over 10,000 words! I decided it was a bit too lengthy and decided to edit out a lot of the stuff, it was originally on the list but I ended up going with the ones I listed.

I'd like to create another full guide or update this one in due time to include a lot of the information back into it. Stay tuned

Just out of curiosity, why didn't you recommend the M-Audio Xponent?

For me, I would have really loved to have the vinyl decks I have now. It feels completely different compared to midi.

Midi is great because it's really cheap and can give you a good idea of DJing. It also works with basically every DJ program so that's a definite plus. Also, in terms of progression, Midi is the way to go because of the continual advances in the technology and controllers.

As for full decks, the reason why I wanted to start with them first is the feeling. For me, I love being able to play around with vinyl, having something physical to work with. The decks feel much more hands on.

I say to get the best bang for your buck, go for a time-coded system such as Torq or Traktor. This allows you to use full decks but run it through your computer. Basically, if you want to spin vinyl you still can but you can also use MP3's on your computer
