I'm a complete newcomer...
Hi, so for over the last 6 months or so i've been thinking of getting into DJing. Just got back from travelling Asia for 3 months, i've got £10,000 in the bank and want to give music a real shot while i'm unemployed. I will prob practice for 3-4 hours a day.
Basically i need advice off you good people on what to actually buy. I've looked at some equipment and the Numark NS6 looks to be my best bet. I've got a laptop but i'm not sure if it would be stable enough. It's a HP G62 notebook, It's got 4gb of RAM, Triple core.
I'm not really interested in becoming an amazing DJ, i just wanna be good enough to play gigs and to be able to put my own songs in sets.
I'm guessing it will take me 1-2 years to get to a decent level? I have no idea :s
So any advice on decks, mixers, speakers, headphones would be very welcome :) I'm prob gunna put a 2000 budget on it, don't wanna spend all my dosh ha.
edit to say i've got some Sennheiser 380 hd pros that i use when making songs on Reason, will these do for DJing? Also got some small but loud M Audio monitor speakers.
Thank you
