2 quartz driven turntables + mixer + integrated amp or powered speakers + some old records > learn to beatmatch well > get gigs >repeat

know your songs, know your beatmatching and sharpen your skills. know how to read a crowd and be ready to change things around based on what you see. skills count much more than sharp and fancy gear. if you can't mix and can't cater to get a crowd going, you will fail miserably and get pelted with change, or worse, bottles.

-really dreaming to be a DJ. XD

good day sir, ok to become a true dj, you dont need a very high-end equipment.. and other stuff that makes you professional.. gears are for sound and eye quality only..

the first thing you should do if your like planning a budget for your  party gears, are to learn what type of a mobile you should assemble.. is it for P.A. (Professional address) or is it (Home bases setup)

if you are planning for a P.A. mobile, then its time you buy a very powerful amps.. and learn how to hook a cross-over for your setup you need to learn the basic sound settings "Low, mid, and high", this is the most important thing that you will do for your P.A. mobile and you will need too much budget for it. sometimes other people use thier company of light and sounds. or manufacturer using hi-ends equipment. hindi naman talaga isang tao ang may ari ng isang malaking mobile.. kasi wala ata sa mundo na masyadong mayaman para makagawa ng isang sound setup na kasing laki ng gym or  basketball court.. lalo na kung puro hi-end equipment..

yung iba nga nag yayabang pa na ang mobile system nila is more hi-end kay sasayo. pero sa tutuo hindi naman kanya yun.. at sa company mobile yun. so dont worry about buying a cheap equipment, or ordinary branded dj gears  as long na proud ka dahil sayo naman lahat at ikaw lang ang mayari..

ok for the "home bases party mobile".. you need just a simple sound setup. because, that only a small area you will be djing with.. you can go for the stereo mode or even crossover. .its ok.. as long na bumabayo din ang sounds mo. that will get your performance good as a regular dj..

the most important thing to be a professional dj. is not by it's equipment by it self.. bieng a dj. you just need a two player and 1mixer. for mixing.. either
a  cdj, usb turntables, mp3s, or even just a cd player. pwde pa nga vcd player eh.. hehe as long you have a two of that and 1 mixer for mixing music.. then you are qualify to be a dj.. other dj just use other stuff to perform and add some technique for mixing.. to injoy thier djing.. but thats not it.. even you have only a two regular player and you "can mix".. then thats fine.. your a dj by your self..

the only best thing you can do to be a dj.. is to play the most best music. that your crowd will be dancing with or listening with..

yes, for your own taste of music.. you will play as you like. but! if your on a gig party. its not like what you want is what you get. the best thing to do is to play thier favorite songs..

and as me bieng a dj.. i prefer playing songs of the 80's and 90's. yes.. old songs are successful to give the crowd a hell of a party, believe it or not they will injoy it.. like new waves.. micheal/janet jacson. mc hammer.. or what ever 80's or 90's  you have.. this will gave all your crowd a party that they will injoy.. and sing too.. just remember to get thier request to continues party. but bieng your self of a dj will make you unique, so its up to you now..

i hope this will help you.. thaks and good music everyday..

@dualcoil

IMHO i think the threadstarter is just a noobie in this kind of stuff not really eyeing to put up his own mobile system. Lets not complicate things... He just needs assistance i think on what setup he needs at home to get him started

@yeOj01

Like what abbys said you can start with the basic needs of a DJ.

All DJ Masters started out with a turntable not with CDJs.

Try also browsing thru youtube about DJ QBert and other DMC Hall of Famers for you to really get inspired on your goal.

Heres my current setup at home and gigging with my band

Its either you buy Vinyls from DJCity.com (where is usually buy my vinyls)w/c is $12 a copy only or as i said a community of DJs supports each other and can get u vinyls from abroad. Another Option is by using a virtual turntable such as Serato Scratch Live, Stanton Final Scratch, M-Audio Connectiv or the Numark Virtual Vinyl. All music is coming from your playlist on ur computer with the live manipulation from your turntable and vinyls.





This might sound old skool coz if you really want to be a complete DJ you should know how to play with a Turntable

AFAIK no one here in Manila sells 2nd Hand SSL coz once you have an SSL its really fo keeps. If you're thinking about your budget... the cheapest alternative is the M-Audio Connectiv. Almost Same functionalities and its only 16K pesos at JB Music or $295 on online Stores.

:-) his looking for a cheaper equipment for his dj setup? Ah ok, serato is too expensive. As me, being a dj, I don't go for a vinyl that will get my budget end up a year before making me a dj. If you start on a less budget.. Then you have to think wise before buying any equipment.
Base from what i have read. The thread starter wants cheaper equipment as a beginner.

Ok just try this, this is only my option..

If you want to mix but don’t want to be troubled looking for vinyl, and hard to find second hand serato.. try to buy  Pentium 3 or 4 desktop.. After you have a desktop.. try to download a dj programs. one that i use and  recommend is "Virtual dj" you can save and load thousands of mp3s as you like.. and you dont have to be troubled organizing your songs.. Virtual dj is like exactly a vinyl turntable with mixing cdj capability. this is your first dj kit. if you have enough budget for buying serato sound card and usb turntables then you can still  use virtual dj program. There’s nothing to waste. a serato is a program and audio interface (sound card) for a usb turntables that you can record  songs from your pc to your vinyl, or, you can just use a fake vinyl and play mp3 to your virtual dj same as a true vinyl..   So in start, you can use virtual dj for the min time.
Also it has a mixer for you to mix the two tracks..

For the sound and lights.. any simple equipment will do.. like buying  ordinary rotators. Ordinary mixer and amplifier, i recommend crown for a starter speakers. For the amplifiers, i recommend "konzert or magus power amp". For the mixer, I recommend "Better stereo mixer"

wag ka bibili  ng turntable na hindi branded or pang scratch.. from what i have known sa mga friends ko na nag kaganito.. madali ma putol ang karayom.. siguro mk2 will do. kaya lang mahirap makakita ng vinyl, at limited offer na. kung meron alam ang iba.try mo.

dont haste your self.. as soon as you get in to it.. and have enough budget for a new one.. then its time you may upgrade your equipment.. again, hope this help..

thanks and good music everyday..

did i offended you? masyado ka kasi mapuna eh,,

oops.. sori for my grammar.. wala lang gusto ko lang mag english kahit hindi ako magaling sa grammar bakit masama ba?

and sa P.A. (public Address) nga.. pero hindi naman lahat ng P.A. eh yun ang meaning.. pwede rin (Party Address) or (Peoples Address) as long na naiintindihan nya kung ano ang ibig sabihin nun.. sa tingin ko hindi ka pa aware sa lahat ng mobile. lahat ng mobile may mga kanya kanyang klase ng katangian.

"Home basis mobile, ibig lang sabihin eh pang bahay or studio type lang na mobile.. kaya nga bases eh. depende.. nakakaintindi karin ba? o talagang sa grammar kalang magaling?

for the light and sounds, kaya nga may sound ako binangit diba, at any equipment will do.. basa mo ba.. kaya nabangit ko na kahit ordinary amp lang ang bilhin nya, at sa speaker kahit crown speakers lang muna.. naiintindihan mo? ang kulang ko lang nailagay is yung lights. kaya nga naka indicate na ng simple lang eh.. edi isipin nalang nya na mga simple light lang ang hanapin nya.. i'm sure recommend naman agad nyan sa kanya is mga light effects tulad ng derby, mushroom, at lahat ng simple non intelligent lights, Ilan ba IQ mo,. for some people na mataas ang I.Q. hindi na nila kailangan e correct ang mga eto.. satingin ko, hindi karin ganun kagaling sa akala mo., and before this message.. if you can read the upper part of my second post.. naka indicate naman dun kung ano ang kanyang dapat gawin first to become a dj.. nabasa mo ba? tsk tsk tsk

WHAT!?

hindi kaba talaga nakakaintindi ng simple lang? he needs a dj gear for mixing and become one of a dj or disc jockey.. not a Mr. Mobile system. ang mobile light and sounds, po is a complete package of a sound,lights system and a dj.. kasi kung sound system lang. sound lang po ang pinag uusapan dun. pero pag mobile sound system is for all the equipment and djs.  hindi ka magiging dj kung wala kang lights.. specially sounds

wala po atang makakaintindi kung sasabihin mo lang mr. mobile system, baka mag tanong pa ang makakabasa nyan ng "ano yan system ng mobile cellphone"? hehehe  :wink:

but dont get worried.. ok lang yan. ibig sabihin lang galingan ko pa sa susunod. mas gusto ko nga yan atlist my praktisan ako sa grammar.. kung sakali man na mag post ako ulit in english language, maybe i will learn more how to speak a perfect grammar. nandyan kanaman diba hehe..

Nope...  Mali reasoning mo... kahit bali baliktarin... PA System is still a Public Address System... You should know that if you're really into a mobile system business FWIW.

I think pare you're the one na hindi nakakaintindi... yung threadstarter eh nagtatanong ng ano ang kailangan nya to start with para maging DJ. if you'll read back your fisrt post ang daming un-neccessary things na pinost mo such as mga tungkol sa MOBILE SYSTEM. meron ka pang post na

if you are planning for a P.A. mobile, then its time you buy a very powerful amps.. and learn how to hook a cross-over for your setup you need to learn the basic sound settings "Low, mid, and high", this is the most important thing that you will do for your P.A. mobile and you will need too much budget for it. sometimes other people use thier company of light and sounds. or manufacturer using hi-ends equipment. hindi naman talaga isang tao ang may ari ng isang malaking mobile.. kasi wala ata sa mundo na masyadong mayaman para makagawa ng isang sound setup na kasing laki ng gym or  basketball court.. lalo na kung puro hi-end equipment..

yung iba nga nag yayabang pa na ang mobile system nila is more hi-end kay sasayo. pero sa tutuo hindi naman kanya yun.. at sa company mobile yun. so dont worry about buying a cheap equipment, or ordinary branded dj gears  as long na proud ka dahil sayo naman lahat at ikaw lang ang mayari..

Hindi naman relevant sa topic... at SOBRANG OFF TOPIC NA!


Anyway... ive chatted with the threadstarter already and given him some tips already...


So both of you and moHawk can settle ur problems thru PM lang and By the way FYI si moHawk ang Live Gig Sound Tech ng isang sikat na banda kaya i think he knows what he is talkin about .

in the end, i think it was clear na hindi ikaw nagyayabang. i got a clear indication of your intentions to become a DJ and that is fine, help from this forum is what will help usher in that reality. you may be a noob but everyone starts out as one - i know i had my share of questions year ago so i try and impart same help to help the rest of the folks here improve the music scene back home.

just one piece of info: learn to beat mix with regular vinyl first and then start purchasing your regular vinyl but do think about investing in FSL, Serato or Torq from M-Audio because these are cost-effective options for you to keep on using vinyl BUT take advantage of mixing songs off your laptop without having to purchase and maintain records. vinyl purchasing is an addicition, an expensive addiciton and sotring them can be cumbersome especially like the weather sa Pinas.

good luck sa ambition mo. keep the dream alive and follow them for yourself, not because other people say it can't be done. if you want to be a DJ and itch to play music, go ahead and work at it - don't do this DJ thing if it isn't true to YOUR intentions.

its true mali po ang reasoning ko for the  P.A. system.. but still if you just get  a Word P.A. hindi rin sya pweding sabihin agad ng (Public Address)but still, sorry for that.

Semantics.

Any speaker system that is meant to be heard by a substantial number of people in a large public area can be called a public address (PA) system. I've never known it to be called a party address or a professional address system. This means the speaker systems in churches can be considered PA systems, same with those in theme parks, large sports arenas, concert venues, malls/department stores and even that handheld bullhorn.

Lose the attitude, dualcoil. Some of the people here may have more experience in the biz than you.
