well it all dempends how serious u wanna take it.

if u wanna be prettuy serirous get a nice mic a mixer so it will sound really good then some cd decs as well and a good soundcard.Also if u wanna take it serious get some jingles made.


i can give u a good mic for if u are gonna tke it serious

we use that in the studio at school good mic nice pickup when you are near it but block out other moise in the studio

for a serious cd player if u wanna take serious

we ahve a older version of this in the studio it is ok but sometimes it can be wired and not like some discs

for a mixer i could not point you to 1 because i dont know what u want eg channels and all that all i advise is use soundcraft i use there quite a bit and have never hade a problem whith them we use these at *Removed* when it is runnig and have 1 in the studio at school and also have 1 of these at home for my drumkit


and for a soundcard if you are atking it serious get a creative sb live 1
http://www.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=1&subcategory=208&product=14066

that looks a good 1 i dont have it or have never used 1 but at home i have used creative soundblaster and in the studio just not taht version

hope that helps if u dont want to take it deadly serious then just say hpow serious u wanna ake it and i will try to find good products for you

you dont have to ahve a cd deck but it is nice


i dont take it dedly serious at home but like i say at our school studio and at *removed they do so i have a bit of knollage on what is good

Right then for a serious dj but not too mutch i propose this.

option 1

Mic:http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=220024&criteria=microphones&doy=22m8

Softwear: Sam broadcaster 2

Mixer:none

cd decks:none


option 2

Mic:http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=35163&criteria=microphones&doy=22m8 but you will also have to buy a xlr to a 3.5 mini jack lead whith that for about £3 if you dont buy the mixer

Softwear: Sam broadcaster 2 or 3

Mixer:http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=36158&criteria=mixers&doy=22m8 you will also have to buy a big jack to mini jack convertor £1

cd decks:Just a cd deck lying arrond the house then take a line from the headphone into the mixer


option 3

Mic:http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=27483&criteria=microphones&doy=22m8

Softwear: ots dj // sam broadcaster 2 or 3 // cue professinal (donno if it supports shoutcast i aint sure)

Mixer:http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=43545&criteria=mixer&doy=22m8

cd decks:a good cd deck froma local shop whatever takes your fancy


you could also use the setup that i put above but for soundcard i do recomend the creative sb live range

you can also go more in deph like getting dual moniters and loads more hard drive space

as well i recomend getting some jingles to make your shows sound pro as well as maybe investing in getting some good liteing for you desk as well as a mic stand

http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=31140&criteria=microphone%20stand&doy=22m8

that is the sort i like taht sit on your desk but if you are gonna take it real pro have 1 fixed on the desk whitha pull arm on it like them lights or on the celing.

hope i helped
