I can tell you from personal experience that you have to worry about anything again. These tips will erase all doubts.
We step asideby "DJ in a box of" stuff and go into the construction of a real person with the right set of selected devices.
There first thing you need to ask how and in what capacity, I am with my equipment? What I want to spend? Where can I buy all this material, and in particular what equipment do I need? I have suggestions to answer all these questions and much more.
Suppose you want to be a DJ for all uses. That is, you want to be able to be a club disc jockey and turntablist. Theirenjoy a budget of $ 600. He pointed out that the friend of the musician has the best selection and prices to meet your needs.

Two turntables.

I'm using the T.60 in the interest of the club budget remaining.
Their total cost is $ 399.98 so far for the Stanton T.60 Direct Drive Turntable.
Two non-slip mats in dollars $ 20. Get the Stanton DSM-6 Yellow on Black Slipmats with Scratch Disks.
You can make your on-slip mats of felt for about $ 5. You go to a local fabric store and about 2 yards of fabric felt.
Make a row instead of on the felt, manufactured in line with chalk or a fabricMarker and cut along the line you just made. Presto! A costume made perfectly usable mat.
By the way, you know the plastic that comes to your vinyl? Cut a piece the same size as the anti-slip mat. Place the dish on the first, then place your own mat for more. I found that the friction even more.
Two cartridges.
In this case, no need to buy cartridges, because they are already mounted on the shell head with the Stanton T.60Direct Drive Turntable. So probably saved another $ 160 on a pair of cartridges.
Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for installing the cartridge. There are different settings for turntablists tone arm and club disc jockey is.
A mixer.

TheirHeadphones should be easy to reduce fatigue ear and closed ear design to avoid interference from the outside with your mix.
