A lot of people don't do it for the music anymore, so that might be tough.

In that case, you just need the right tan and a penis enlargement.

What does a DJ need?
...the music he loves at his fingertips, the enjoyment of the crowd in his ears and a beautiful woman on his lips.

love is all you need, bro.

You need to know and 'feel' your music to become a better dj. Develop your own style to mix your tracks.

Agree. Soft part is more important than what equipment you have. That's the soul in the end of the end.

Yea you need to be able to work and give back to the crowd and spread that positive vibe! Also yea, know your music and shtuff!

And actually the place I play at does not provide their own stuff so I have to bring it in but there is not a big 'club' scene where I am at, I pretty much have to make it the club scene myself. I don't get all the fancy CDJ setups and stuff. Having a good controller helps. I have a great time with the Traktor S4.

Also I just would not use Virtual DJ. I used that when I very first started and I was just basically a stepping stone for me because I didn't know any better. Hell, I was using a Hercules DJ Console RMX, the two deck. People tend to make fun of Virtual DJ users I think... just a stigma I guess but I do understand why. But hell if you can rip through your tracks with it than that shouldn't matter.

Also X2 on the studio monitors from me. You really gotta have a decent pair in my opinion to properly produce. However, when you do get that track 'mastered' in however way you do it, you gotta listen to how it sounds on other systems.

Use your ears, and also your brain.
