Buying DJ equipment is no longer simply a question of buying two turntables, a mixer, and headphones, and for someone just starting to learn, choosing which equipment to buy can be tricky. Advances in technology have produced equipment that uses different audio sources, and today's DJs can create mixes using vinyl, CD, MP3 and video.
Most DJs begin their careers by cutting their teeth on a pair of vinyl turntables. There are two types of turntable: the direct drive and the belt-driven. The former is undoubtedly the best choice, providing better torque and durability. Belts can stretch with time and use, distorting sound and making beat matching extremely difficult.
Some DJs began to switch to CD players in the nineties, as developments in equipment led to a shift away from vinyl. The Pioneer CDJ quickly established itself as the DJ industry standard CD player thanks to its many features and functions presented in a tough, reliable and compact machine. DJs were able to download new music and burn CDs rather than transporting the rather more bulky and damage-prone records.
Finally, the most recent development in DJ equipment has an even stronger emphasis on portability and availability. It is now possible to build a mix without using either CDs or vinyls. The digital era is all about MP3 files, which allow complete and extensive music libraries to be saved and stored on a laptop. New tracks are easily and instantly available online, allowing beginner DJs to quickly establish a decent collection.
Mixes can be created using a midi controller connected to the laptop music library. Some midi controllers have integrated mixers and can produce a range of sound effects to manipulate tracks. They are relatively inexpensive and easy to operate in comparison with other DJ equipment. Time-coded systems can also be connected to the computer, to combine the feel of mixing vinyl with the advantages of the PC.
Researching the DJ equipment you are planning to buy is important. It is usually a better idea to put money aside for an investment in good quality products instead of settling for a cheaper alternative. High quality equipment will perform reliably for years to come, while if you decide that DJing is not for you, you will be able to find a buyer.
