hmm you got a point there that's what deliver me a dilemma over a cdj and laptop lol but then again you're using pcdj... i'm not sure bout that software cause never used it once before.

anyways a some dj from bassagent don't recommend me using the laptop tho lol... oh well i'll decide later probably i think i just follow my feeling

like I say man... depends on What kind of DJ you want to be. If you're the kind that wants to play at friend's parties or family events, carrying around alot of cd's and equiptment isn't smart.

But if you want to go pro and play at clubs, then you should get Started on CD-J's. Personally. if you wanted to go pro... should start on turntables already... but that's just me.

don't rush into anything. take your time, talk to pro dj's and weigh your options... bottomline... it's your decision. I'm just giving you friendly advice.

yea man guess i'll just wait and explore around and really thanks for ye advice bro

i've been watching djs at dance parties for ages and i still haven't a clue on what they're doing! i bought Tiesto's Olympic gig DVD just to see what he does on the console... still no idea maybe i'm just daft...

btw how do you sync songs with different bpms?

You alter the speed of the song.... Using turntables, you can manually rotate the vinyl to get the speed you want or adjust the speed from the controls. A CD-J will only have to adjust via the controls....

The problem with speed altering, is that you will get a different key, because it's slower or faster.... so Pro DJs are pros because they can get it matching perfectly.

now i'm getting interested! might sell off both my Ibanez RG and Epi Les Paul and get a turntable set instead lol! bahhh no chance at that!

anyway i have Native Instruments Traktor and this seems kinda fun to play around in my free time. anyone have any links for total beginner tutorials?

cheers!

No real tutorial needed..... Just sense of beat and timing........

use your ears =)

anyways some video to share if ya all are interested in future dj

but this dude is playing drum n bass stuff on reaktor

lets say i get the numark battlepak...can i still use software?or do i need hardwares such as finalscratch

Yes. You still need to buy Stanton's Final Scratch or PCDJ's PCDJ Scratch.

All the battle pack comes with is 2 turntables, a Mixer, Headphones, Pre-Assembled needle & heads and slipmats..... That's it. No vinyl, no records..... nothing. You'll have to hunt for the records or the hardware yourself.

investments..investments..i was thinking of using my collection in my pc..finalscratch is what..another 2k?oh my..pcdj scratch works like the finalscratch?how much is it?

Actually, It's an extra 2500...... but comes with everything you need.....
for PCDJ scratch, it's slightly cheaper at 1500, but you'll need to use 2 sound cards....

2 soundcards?why is that?hmm..need to find out more on the pcdj`s product

You need two sound cards..... one for each turntable, or channel.

With the Final Scratch, it comes with a "scratchamp", which is basically the interface where the units connects.... hense eliminating the need for 2 soundcards... wherelse the PCDJ Scratch system doesn't have this external unit and therefor has to be plugged into the soundcard.....

You can find more info on the PCDJ Scratch here: http://www.pcdj.com/Products/Scratch.asp

Instead of buying 2 soundcards, you can also get something like the creative EMU 0404 soundcard which has 2 input/output.....

woot , got dj thread xD
