How Did You Get Started as a DJ?

[lebapiv]

Hey everyone!

I’ve recently gotten interested in DJing and would love to hear from those with experience.

How did you first get started as a DJ? Did you take any courses or were you self taught?

What gear did you begin with and what do you wish you knew when starting?

I’m trying to figure out the best path to take, whether to start with a controller, go straight to turntables or use software.

Any advice, tips or personal stories would be awesome.

Thanks in advance for sharing your journey and insights!

It seems you have an odd set of posting here in a Guitar Forum.

our main focus is guitar playing, getting better at music and for some learning to play gig's (which I can attest is very difficult)

this is not a forum on AI song stealing and in this case a discussion on how to become a DJ.

If you want DJ advice.. go to Guitar Center .com and type in DJ equipment. you'd get lots of gear and price points to choose from.

nobody uses 'records' in DJ'ing any more

and Guitar Center search will provide you help on your quest.
