DJ equipment for beginners - What to choose when you know nothing or almost nothing

Beginner DJ equipment

If you are at your first mix dj routine, you are certainly using "beginner DJ material"..

Or maybe you're just looking at the best before making your choice.

The choice is difficult with the large number of references. There is something for every taste, and especially for every price and quality. Between brands, features, sound and reliability, how not to make a bad purchase?

In general the purchase of beginner DJ equipment is based on the price/utility ratio that will be favored, because often the beginner DJ equipmentis not used very long. Either it becomes an object of decoration, or it has reached its limits and it needs a material which follows the evolution of the DJ.

The idea

To begin with, having an idea before you buy is the best way to make a good choice. Knowing if the DJ mixing is really going to please you or if it's to do like DJ thing much. Otherwise there are games on console with controllers! ( I already tried on playstation).

The best thing is to try it out at someone's house, so that you have time to practice a little bit. There are several configurations of beginner DJ equipment and they are first of all linked to the price!

The price of DJ equipment is high, so be careful before buying. The risk is to get a material that does not provide the DJ sensations and to quickly give up.
