It's pretty good at giving you an idea of what a DJ does and if you really want to do this. I'll check it out once I get my laptop charger. Thanks!

Posted March 17, 2016 Definitely check out digital softwares. If you want to do smaller shows, you can get a sort of USB deck that you can mix with. Get some good isolating headphones, and practice practice practice. If you do play at larger venues like clubs, they will often have lights and speakers there. Just curious, how old are you? Welcome to LTT! Feel free to PM me if you just wanna chat, I love conversation! If you ever have any audio questions, wether it's software, hardware, or production and theory, feel free to ask me. Odds are I can help you, or get you help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you know for 100% you want to do it, then you should get a usb deck that works with the software of your choice. For now, I wouldnt invest in any hardware, just get used to the software Welcome to LTT! Feel free to PM me if you just wanna chat, I love conversation!

But honestly, I don't really use it, as I do more oldies music just haven't recorded much yet, I need to get a new mic, a stand up bassist, and someone who can do baritone and tenor vocals.

Ahh nice. I'm more into the electronic scene. I use Logic on my mac (although am building a pc v soon, and upgrading to bitwig on both my mac and PC), and use NI Massive, X-fer Serum, and some other shit lol Welcome to LTT!
