I have always dreamed of being a dj but where do i start?

Question

what equipment do i need and what do ou recommend

Answer 1

old school:  2 turntables, a mixer (from Radio Shack or Musician's Friend), any stereo receiver or amplifier, speakers and headphones. Microphone optional.

New school:  All of the above, plus cd mixer, mp3 mixer and some acid software or other dj mixing software.  If you can afford it; get a mixer capable of analogue (turntables) and digital (cd,mp3) and then PRACTICE WITH YOUR BeATS, Practice with your FADES, Phases, crossovers, reverbs, and just practice practice practice!
