    In case the artist replies that sure you could remix but sort out the acappella yourself…in that case you could just extract ~acappella…5 minutes of google/youtube searching will set you on the way.

    The surround sound system in question, used, Sony, is going for $30…I feel its a steal…

    I don’t know if your question mark is whether that system is an overkill or a poor choice…

    Also thanks, I’ll probably buy the guide 🙂

    I just checked prices for second hand speakers and can get decent systems, (sub plus 3-5 speakers) for very good prices, eitherway, I don’t think the speakers would be any hurdle.

    I played around with serato and I liked vdj waveform to be much more simpler, perhaps I don’t know yet what the different colors mean yet.

    Anyway, what is the next step now, what are the things I should learn?

    Any good guides you can recommend? Preferably free ones that you could recommend at this stage?

    Thanks

    Just bought senhieser hd201 and the numark mxp2, really excited :-).

    About speakers, ATM the ones you suggested aren’t available here, importing would be v. Costly.

    Right now I’m just planning to play out loud in my room and if there’s a party, it will be in my apartment lounge, any suggestions for that? Something in 30-50 range?

    Hi all,

    I’ve decided to go with Numark mix track pro 2, I can try both serato and vdj. I’ve played around with vdj, I feel its intuitive enough, tho, controlling with keyboard can be a very clunky affair.

    I’ve managed to get a used once, opened once controller at 30% ofd, so I feel its good enough now to proceed ahead.

    For speakers in thinking the usual 2 speakers and woofer setup similar to ones you get with PCs etc. Nothing too lavish, I feel it should suffice, but pls advise.

    Headphones: I am all ears on this, would love to hear feedbacks, in 50-100 dollar range. Nothing too lavish, I wouldn’t mind upgrading it later, can always pass it on to siblings heh.

    DJ Vintage,

    To answer your queries:
    Currently, I’d like to be a Bedroom DJ, Gradually I’d like to expand it to friends and private parties etc and share my work online. By that time, I’ll have good idea as well on how I wish to progress. All in all, I’d like to pursue this as a hobby at this stage, what the future is, I dont know, but I’m open to any.

    My workflow:
    I absolutely have no idea about this, I do not know on what to base my assumptions. Would be grateful if all of you guys can share examples from your experiences.

    Features:
    Again, I do not know, would love some examples to try and make sense of it.

    Thanks!

    Hi guys,

    Thanks for pointing out to the guide, I’ve read through it and I feel I understand the overall concept better. As I said earlier, I really do have zero experience, I see what some DJs do in clubs with the music and I want to do that to my personal liking.

    Going through the guide, my understanding has been as you said software is more important. The three big names are the obvious ones Traktor Pro, Serato and VDJ. I see that I cant use laptop to try out Serato unless I have a controller plugged in. So that leaves me with Traktor and VDJ. To be honest, it has left me confused on what software to pick, I did check some review, the impression I got is it’s about personal preferences and ‘workflow’. I have no idea what that is :), you really dealing with absolutely total noob here.

    I went to a hardware store and pressed random buttons and jogwheeled on Pioneer DDJ-SB and Mixtrack Pro 2. I honestly could’nt say what’s better and what’s not. Next month is a huge country wide sale, so I’ll wait until that to buy a controller, it also gives me more time to get a fix on software.

    How can you guys advise me on the software? Also, what are your thoughts on rekordbox? It’s free and light, could be good to get hang of basic concepts. I installed DJay on android and got some v.v. basic hang of cue points etc, needless to say I was horrible even with the much-hated-dreaded auto sync button heh.

    Thanks
