Tips and Tricks - Little Tips of Considering Equipments

Monday 24 August 2009

Hi all, this post is dedicated for you who wants to buy Equipments, but doesn't know which one is good enough for your budget. Well, here i give you the fundamental features of each DJing hardwares that it must have. Just for remainder, i have chosen hardwares and softwares which i consider as good for all range budget, and can be seen in our store

For Turntables: Proper DJ turntables need a strong motor, a pitch control to adjust the speed the record plays at, a good needle, and sturdy enough construction to handle the vibrations and abuse that DJing dishes out. Otherwise, you'll get a problem playing live, and more money as you will change to better turntables eventually.

For Mixers: Mixers ideally have 3-band EQs (equalisers) for each input channel, a cross-fader, headphone cue controls, and a good display to show you the level at which the music is sent out of the mixer so you don’t blow any speakers accidentally. Make sure you have all of these features as these are fundamentals people. I forgot, if you can try the knobs, sliders, etc with your OWN hand to feel how they works. This will prevent you going to online stores or eBay to find replacements:p

For CD Decks: CD decks need to be sturdy enough that they won’t skip every time the
bass drum booms over the speakers (If this happen, just prepare yourself for a bottle or more hit your head). The controls on a CD deck are more important than on a turntable because you can’t physically speed up and slow down the CD with your hands. Jog wheels, easy-to-navigate time and track displays, and a pitch bend along with the pitch control are all important core features of a CD turntable.


For Headphones: Headphones need to be comfortable, sound clear when played at high
volume, and cut out a lot of external noise so that you don’t have to play them too loud (you want to keep your ears to be able to hear sounds for the rest of your life, keep the sound "just enough")

For amplifiers: Volume and sound control are the watchwords for amplification. You
don’t need a huge amplifier and bass-bins for your bedroom, but similarly, a home hi-fi isn’t going to be much use in a town hall (but it'll help you to safe budgets).

That's all i got, i hope it helps. Enjoy:)
