Having some knowledge of the types of media i.e. vinyl versus digital, the style of your music and how you are going to deliver your set now allows us to discuss the all amount selection of DJ gear. First I would advise to set a budget. While a minimum quality level is recommended you need to set a budget that sits within your skill level. There are some terrific set-ups out there for well under $1000. At the other extreme two Pioneer CDJ2000s, a Pioneer DJM2000, software package and laptop could easily crack the $10,000 mark. Even the more affordable setups can offer you the same features and functionality of the higher priced name brands. There are plenty of DJ businesses that offer rehearsal studios (DJ booths) where you can practice with professional gear or you can attend a DJ school and pick a course that most suits the direction and style of music that interests you.
There are stories of underground DJs that labour in their bedrooms or in DJ booths for many hours before coming out to wow the crowd at the DMCs or other similar competitions, thus catapulting them to the top of the talent pool. Ideally playing experience provides skill and it might be case of working your way up the set list to get better and better gigs. Of course it helps to have a good few hundred friends on Facebook as crowd pulling power incentivises promoters to book DJs for gigs.
Forums are the best place to start looking. DJ gear manufacturers also have their own forums such as forums.pioneerdj.com by Pioneer. While these are obviously going to be slanted in a positive light, posts will often reveal first hand knowledge about the whys and wherefores of the various types of equipment. Features, benefits and how they relate to you the end user. Remember if searching on Google or similar make sure you use intuitive search topics. And remember a search engine like Google offers paid keywords for retailers and manufacturers wanting to appear at the top of the searches as sponsored advertising. In other words try and ensure you are reading neutral information as opposed to sponsored information.
If a website is more about paid advertising links and out of date posts you are probably on the wrong site. Before purchasing any gear, try and make sure the outlet has a good reputation in the market and make sure they have been in the market a decent period of time. If they carry most of the major brands such as Pioneer, Technics, Numark, Gemini, American Audio, Vestax, Allen and Heath, Traktor, Mixvibes etc, then they should be OK. Discuss with the sales person all of the points mentioned above with regard to the music you are playing, vinyl vs. digital, software etc and get some options. Remember knowledge is power so the more research and discussion you undertake, the better informed decision you will make and leading you to ultimately become the superstar DJ you want to be.
