Evening everyone,
I browsed through the FAQ and other areas online and this is what I have come up with so far. I'll be using a windows laptop (specs are fine for available software) and playing for house parties (family) exclusively. Mostly outside, crowds of ~50-100 at least 3 or 4 times a year. I have basic understanding of music theory and realize the time and effort required to eventually play to a crowd. My budget is flexible (within reason).
Speakers: QSC K10s with KSUB, open to suggestions based on the party environment I'll be playing to. I've read this set-up covers most people's needs.
Headphones: Sennheiser HD25s seem to be the gold standard.
Controller: I've read the Pioneer DDJ-SB2 is great for starting out, but if the other equipment is intermediate level, I think the controller should be as well. This would prevent the need to upgrade later. A budget of around $500 seems more reasonable.
Software: undecided, haven't played around with them enough to make a decision, but I'm flexible.
Have I missed anything essential? Is the quality of the equipment suitable for what I would like to use it for? Should I tone it down/up?
Thank you.
