Dj equipment help? don't know

Question

i know nothing about dj equipment but i would like to know because i am getting into it. What is all the equipment you need to make music sound good? and can cd's be played or can you plug in music from the computer into a dj turn table? and also can you only make the scratching noise into music with vinyl records only or do they sell turntables that don't need vinyl records to make the scratch noise? like electronic turntables

Thank you.

Answer 1

First up you said you don't know much about it so you may want to rethink this out. Well here's the thing...you need a mixer, a set of CD players, a preamp, amp, and a set of good speakers. A laptop computer with a bunch of sound effects and a few music loops would be good to have also. With all this gear your spending about $ 2000.00 to $3000.00 to get started with a low end set up. Yes you can use the PC to get audio effects. You can add turntables to the mixer to get "scratch" affects also.

Hope this helped a bit

Any true DJ will tell you that you need two Technics 1200 turntables to party!
