how i was started was with one lousy mixer and two laptop .. running illegal software ... mixing ..
i first started to do beat matching ... as in same beat but not same bar ..
then i went on to learn to count bars with the beats..
so eventually i moved on to one lousy turntables and one lousy mixer ..
.... cut story short.. i finally got my proper setup after 2 years ++

my gears as in my signature

cool, mind sharing some of your tunes? Interested in the genre you mix out.

as i said i don't make music
i just make noise and alot of scratching
since i came back from australia i'm unable to set up my set in my own place ..
so not much happening... never really have a proper chance to do proper mixing ..
and i suck at scratching.. so i don't bother to do any recording yet ..

Im very interested in mixing songs. Where can I learn how to mix? Is there any school or academy somewhere in PJ?

Oh well. Basically, I don't know anything. Care to guide me? =.=''

How much are the equipments for mixing songs? Looking foward into it.

first of all .. learn the theories behind mixing .... beat matching, bar counting ....understanding song structure
go to youtube.com and look for DJ TUTOR ... he got over 1000+ videos..
and then once you got your theory, try using software to learn first...
hardware will come later when you think you got the theories right and would like to proceed...

depending on your budget and your style of mixing ...
hip-hop/rnb .. .you would want a hardware with vinyl control
other type of genre .... any job/vinyl hardware.. don't really matter as long as you can slow and speed up music ..

Hi Westokan, I'm using Virtual DJ 5.0 on my laptop. Any recommendations of an external soundcard? I'm also in a low budget btw.

the other day i was at the "software" shop .. *wink* and i saw alot of DJ/Audio related software ... if those want to try mixing etc, go there buy those "combo" DVD and then try all software until you feel comfortable with one ..

how much u want for it? how long u been using it?
