Guest Teddy Riley Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Lookin' to take up DJ'ing as a hobby and learn and all that...However, I wanna learn the ol' skool way, proper mixing and sh*t.Reason I wanna go vinyl FIRST purely for the crate-digging aspect of it...Can anyone recommend some good equipment please? Advice too...I'll be doing Hip-Hop for the most part so bear that in mind when dishing out the advice.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn_Carter Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 pretty simple tbhjust buy some decks and a mixerand a bag of vinyland teach yourself to mixyou'll be sh*t at first but you can pick ot up quite quickly if u got a feel for the musicalso, if you're mixing hip hop u need to buy loads of accapellas and two copies of tracks for your mixes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
