My friend just got me into DJ’ing and he was buying an S4 so I decided to pick one up as well. Tonight after I un-boxed my S4 and used it for a few minutes I felt over whelmed and did not know what to do at all. I felt like I just wasted $900.
Then I remembered reading someones post on the forums and they said “just have fun with it” even though it was not in context with what I was thinking, I just started messing around and 5 hours (which felt like 10 minutes) later i’m having a blast!
I am envious of everyone who has been doing this forever, this is a blast! I cannot wait till I get decent enough to play a gig somewhere (even at a house party or what not). I’m still learning the basics and this could not be more fun!
DJTT.com is awesome, and the tutorials + community posts have helped so much!
If you guys have any suggestions for a beginner (I’ve been like a person on crack with these forums and read a LOT of what you guys have posted already) I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks,
Coldfuzion
P.S. Sorry if this should have been in another thread, it’s nearly 3AM i’m delirious cause of lack of sleep and I feel like a kid on christmas who just got exactly what he wanted!
Two quick questions, firstly is there anyway to play music from your S4 out of your laptop speakers? Secondly what speakers would you guys suggest I buy to play small house parties with that aren’t too expensive?
Ok dude assuming the basics work the same in S4, what you do is go into the audio setup in the preferences and choose your laptops soundcard as your audio device. BUT … if you do this you should install ASIO4ALL drivers, much better.
Well anything would be an improvement over laptop speakers we have some self powered wharfdale pro 15", but tbh for house parties etc a good home 400w+ amp and speakers is fine. All depends on your budget really, you should be able to pick up some second hand self powered 15" speakers reasonably cheaply.
I guess you could get some KRK RP6 Studio Monitors - They are mainly for producing (10 bucks that you will start making remixes and songs too in about a couple of months) But I used them for a little house party I threw last weekend, they got the floor pumping good enough. I Got them for around $770, but I live in Crazy ass expensive Norway (the S4 costs $1505 here ) So they are probably cheaper there.
P.S I’m gonna read this thread every time I feel down, best thread ever.
Shoot me an email if you ever need some help, I was in the same boat as you 6 months ago. jhc@komplett.no
I just bought a set of Kustom speakers that were on a 50% off sale - dropped $200 for a set that’s perfect for small/medium venues. I’m hosting a party on the roof of my college house with them this friday.

[/quote]Option one, save up about 2.1k for some cereal JBL 500 series dope ass speakers.
Option Two, buy some cheapo 2k watters off ebay. You can get a set of two for like 500 bucks.
Welcome to the crew buddy.
