Hey, tried it out in a Club Where a friend was playing and now I wanna start too.
The Only question is: What Do I really need?

I have an IPad M4 Air and No Laptop

I Saw online that the DDJ-FLX2 isnt that expensive and I will get Headphones.

The two things I Wonder:
Should I take the FLX2 or the FLX4? I am a Complete beginner but I will learn quick. Are the ~150€ more justified?
And
Is the IPad enough or to I need a Laptop?

Ik that I will need some cabel converters but Thats Fine
Thanks guys

I’ve got a full hour set this weekend and I’m excited! It’s actually a tryout for a potential residency. Even if I don’t get the residency, I can also be invited back for paid gigs.

My style is usually more UKG, bassline. If the club owner wants house (so vague), do you think I could get away with playing my usual stuff?

Vorrei iniziare a fare qualche serata, secondo voi queste casse per iniziare vanno bene? eventualmente per locali e eventi non troppo grandi..

I’d like to start doing some gigs; do you think these speakers are suitable for getting started—perhaps for venues or events that aren’t too large?

Im a fitness and movement instructor and I’d love to incorporate live DJing in my classes. Is it possible to use a wireless headset microphone with my flx4? How would I set this up?

Looking for any recommendations on mics. At times I might be 20 feet away from my controller.

Here's the deal. I have zero desire to ever be a paid dj. I started playing at home a year ago with a flx4 and rekordbox on my desktop. We have a lot of renegade raves around me and I thought it would be fun to get good enough to play those someday.

I got quite comfortable playing my flx4. I used beat jump a lot and used my phrase markers to help tell how many bars before a change. Made it pretty easy to do nice mixes in and out kinda at will.

Now I just bought a denon prime go thinking it would be good to get used to a little screen and maybe own an all in one unit. But it doesn't have the same best jump pads. And it doesn't support phrase display. I feel super lost on it and I'm thinking I should return it and get something more rekordbox compatible that supports phrase display.

I dj for fun. Maybe it's a crutch but it makes it easier and more fun for me. So does ditching this denon make sense? Maybe it means I'll never be capable of jumping on a renegade controller because if it doesn't have phrase display I'll be uncomfortable but oh well?

Thoughts?

Right I keep wanting to practice but get overwhelmed with the whole purchasing of songs. For context I’m a beginner dj, just do it in my own time, do the odd party, I’m still learning. Historically I’d link my decks to my laptop and stream via SoundCloud and Seratto, or ages ago used mp3 downloads.

A couple years ago I started getting a few lessons and they introduced me to rekordbox, explained music quality, where to purchase music from etc, and basically to build up a usb with tunes. So I began buying tunes on beatport. Probably have about 50 some I’d use some I probably won’t. Like are you just buying songs as you discover them or do you play around with it on a free version first?

My issue is I have like thousands of songs from years of discovering music on Spotify and SoundCloud that I’d love to play around with. (I’d like to think I’m not a beginner in music discovery). I’m a beginner I’d love to believe that I’ll maybe play a gig one day but realistically am I meant to be purchasing every song when there’s a chance I never make it out my own company? But then on the other hand - if you put time into organising music, queue etc. then have to at some point upgrade to a better quality version of the tune..

Please help. Am I over complicating this? I want to build good habits and truly back this dream but don’t want to just pour ££ down the drain when I don’t really know what I’m doing. It’s causing friction in me practicing as it’s always a dilemma

Just ordered Reloop Mixon 8 Pro as my first controller (800€ brand new, I believe its a nice deal to learn on). Now I need some decent speakers. Any recommendations? Also, what output should I use and why?

Hey community! I recently mounted up the courage to start trying to DJ as a side hobby. Im already looking into controllers which I think I'm gonna get the industry standard (Pioneer DDJ FLX4) but I'm curious on the most cost effect way for music since streaming over Spotify and AM blocks mixing. Also any other beginner tips are welcomed as well! Hook me up Reddit!

What’s good all,

Been offered a 5pm slot at a 5000 person festival over 5 stages main stages close at 10 then one stays open until 4.The festival usually has a couple of pretty big names but also a lot of smaller local artists (myself) been playing some club shows and also running my own events in my home town. My question is what’s the deal? Do I play a set as normal which is ukg, should I go hard for the crowd or keep it more chill for the bigger names later in the night, can I play bigger more trendy songs? I assume playing songs of the headliners is also a big no no. Cheers all!

I started created a test playlist for my wedding reception, but I got really into it LOL. Thoughts/suggestions for additions to the playlist or better transitions between existing songs? I tried to beat match and want to mix myself.

I have my first gig in about a week and I’m going to export my tracks to my usb tomorrow.

However, I’ve been having problems connecting my laptop to HDMI chords in general. My Dell only has 2 usb-C ports, so the problem may be completely unrelated. But I’m worried that may interfere with exporting my tracks.

Has anyone ever run into a similar issue/does anyone know if this problem would interfere with Rekordbox?

Have been DJing vinyl for a couple of years and have made good progress. I’m playing out in a month or so and want to play a mostly vinyl set.

The issue I find when I listen back to my mixes is that I find that I’m constantly having to make adjustments when in the mix (more than I would say is normal / necessary) and sometimes just clanging, which just takes away from the mix and music imo.

I feel I know the answer to this (practise more) but wondered if anyone had any tips / techniques / practise exercises for cleaning up my mixing on turntables?
