Professional DJ'ing

[iDenning]

Hey

I don't know if this is in the correct section but I'm looking to start DJing, not with Sam broadcaster though.

I would like some turntables with a nice, clear headset (with mic), i would like to DJ on the internet with this equipment.

Can you recommend some turntables and equipment to me? The price doesn't matter but i'd rather it be under 400 GBP.

Thanks :D

Hey,

You wont get a good set of turntables for less then £400. You might get cheap set of belt drive ones but wont be very good for scratching or anything. When you get some turntables you just need to conenct your mixer with one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/3-5mm-Phono-Stereo-Audio-Cable/dp/B000Q6LSVS/ref=dp_cp_ob_ce_title_1 to your computer.

Thats what I do anyway, well ust to not I use virtual vinyl.

Thanks

Hmm i really dont know about DJ'ing over the internet with that sort of equipment. My only guess is to use a MIDI cable or something? i really dont know if you can get them on PC's, so your best off asking most of the people on this forum who know a loaddd more about this than me =D

EDIT: I kept the thread tabbed and someone beat me to it xD

Just do what I said put that red and white wire into your pc stero plug from the MASTER on your mixer then put your pc in stero and stream on sam. Its really easy.

Thanks jamie +rep

Know any good turntables?

I really wouldn't advise spending all that money just to DJ over the web. It won't make you a professional either, and chances are heavily against you that you'll get any kind of gain. Unless you're very well off, it'd be a bad move in my honest opinion.

If you do it online it would just kill the quality of it.

Guys, learn what your talking about first :rolleyes:
It won't kill quality and you can be successful.

If you want it professional then you will need a: (Links are my suggestions)

Mixer: http://www.mackie.com/products/d2pro/ or http://www.mackie.com/products/d4pro/ (http://www.mackie.com/products/d4pro/)
Decent headphones (£100 up): http://www.akg.com/site/products/powerslave,id,1063,pid,1063,nodeid,2,_language,EN. html
Decks, no idea
A very good mic: http://www.heilsound.com/pro/products/pr22/ (http://www.heilsound.com/pro/products/pr22/)
Mic stand: Get a heilsound one, site above
A mute mic button for when you cough e.t.c: http://www.procosound.com/?page=viewprod&cat=215&id=796

LMAO, yeh the comment was random :P

[Colin-Roberts]

without having a decent soundcard in the computer? the decks and all the other equipment would be virtually useless.

[Chippiewill]

Oh yeh, sorry. You want a Mac of sorts or a PC with decent firewire since that mixer has a firewire output.

Then for all of that to be of use you need an Online Radio with at least 128kbps and hopefully 320kbps.
