Real Life Dj's / Sound Enginers..

[Colin-Roberts]

Theres never really been a discusssion into this but i thought i might start one..

So basically just post your equipment , where you dj, and just anything else..

I recently started into Djing because of school a/v..
and thanks to farm work last summer i could buy some decent equipment.

Mixer: http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/page/shop/flypage/product_id/5640
Mics: http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/page/shop/flypage/product_id/1874
Decks: **Still looking** Any Suggestions Under 370 gbp.

I haven't djed anywhere except for school related events yet.. since i don't have decks.. and I've only used my mixer and mics x3

I do sound for a wide arrage of concerts/eveings. Can range from stuff like fundays all the way to rock nights.

We mainly use AKG 1000's for mics, the micer usually is a soundcraft The blast that all out on 1x pair on peavy 2 x pairs mackie speakers (Forget the model) This gives us arround a 3kw rig.

I also do a bit of radio for whitchurch fm a small comunity station. There setup i am unsure of as it has all been changed i will try to find out

Never heard of Kool Sound, but yes, you made the right decision to go with CD/MP3 decks, Vinyls are far too expensive.

I've only really done habbo related radio stations, and some work for my school, thats preety much it

[Colin-Roberts]

cd's are the future.. might look into a cd and usb decks so i can use laptop too.

[Hayd93]

I am still with vinals. I always love a dj when they get out there vinals it seems just that so mutch better. We had a lad with some in music tech the CD ones just dont compare

[Recursion]

But at a minimum price of £3 per Vinyl it's pretty darn expensive!

No CDs are not the future. Having a laptop with all your music on is. Then you have a usb mixer to the side and an amp with a couple of speakers. Brilliant idea as you can find music super quickly like when you're doing a radio broadcast. Most of the big clubs use computer systems now.

Vinyls are better quality though.

[Colin-Roberts]

fair enough.. i don't think vinyl will ever be obselete in djing.

one day. one day. Record companies will slowly stop producing them as sales decrease. DJs just starting aren't using them and when the older generation of djs are gone they'll have had their time.
