In order to make the song, a DJ must have the ability into every minute detail, he also must be able to do this whilst beat matching two or more tracks. If you use a mediocre pair of headphones it will only hinder your ability of being a DJ. It is for this reason that you should invest in a fantastic pair of DJ headphones. In this article, I am going to run through a few tips that I think will help you to choose a great pair of DJ headphones.

1: Choose headphones that are durable.

A good pair of DJ headphones should be durable in both structure and their electronic components. During your life as a DJ, there will be many times where your headphones will get tossed around and possibly take a beating. Also, listen to a high amount of music will eventually wear away the electronic components. You will need to choose a pair of headphones that will be and take the abuse that DJ has to throw at it, including physical abuse and the high amount of sound abuse during your mixing.

If you want to learn how to DJ on your laptop, then you will need a good piece of software. This can either be downloaded from the Internet or you can buy a commercial piece of software from a music store. It is however, much easier to download the software from the Internet. A lot of the commercial pieces of software will cost you up to a few hundred dollars, but they are well worth the price for the greater functionality that they have. A lot of the commercial pieces of software also have trial versions that you can download from the Internet, this allows you to try the software before you buy it. Two of my favourite programs are Traktor Pro and Virtual DJ. I use virtual DJ the most often.

When you have a piece of software that you like, then you will also need some good music, and of course the right kind of music. You need to consider the types of events that you will be attending as a DJ. It may be useful to go into iTunes and to look up “Top Songs”, then download the style of music that you may need from the top songs list. When you look at the different genres in iTunes, you will notice that certain songs are more popular, you can use the download meter in order to find the most popular songs. Here’s a list of some of the songs that you must have on hand: the recent top 40 (rock, hip-hop, and dance), some old favourites such as Frank Sinatra, some classic rock that (it may be useful to look up “guitar hero” or “Rock Band” songs in order to find the most popular songs that kids are listening to the classic rock era). They will also be useful to look at the most popular songs from different generations, such as the 90s, 80’s and 2000’s. You must also remember to keep the budget in mind that the music you wish to buy. Remember to keep your business as ethical as possible by not downloading music illegally. Apart from it being against the law, you will find that many of the songs that you find on the illegal websites will contain very bad viruses that could ruin your laptop and the music collection that you have already built up. Some of the songs may also be extremely bad quality which is no good if you’re a DJ.

If you had asked me 2 – 3 years ago whether or not it was possible to have too much music, I would have told you no way. I always used to feel that it was always better to have more than not enough, simply because you never know what the person would want to hear at that time. I listen to almost everything and am quite unbiased with my music, in fact, my collection of music contains a high amount of very strange and obscure music. All my life, I have used computers in order to gain music, from the days of having dial up and Napster, I have never deleted anything as long as the songs sounded good.

However, we are in a much different age now and DJ music collections have turned into something completely different. I like to use a combination of a mash up style music with digital DJing with software such as Serato and Traktor. These days, there is no more burning CDs and moving them around. Computers have made making remixes even easier, and now the collections of DJs have grown from 1000 songs to tens of thousands of songs in just a few years.

During the last several months there have been a lot of rumours that the Panasonic Company would be discontinuing the legendary piece of Technics DJ equipment – the SL1200 series of turntables. This has come as a big shock to many fans of the famous Technics turntable. A lot of the fans reacted with anger, and some with grief. We must remember however, that these are only rumours and have not been backed up with facts. In fact, the Panasonic company their selves have allegedly made a statement explaining that this particular series of turntables will definitely not be discontinued, at least for now. Whether this series of turntables gets discontinued or not, it will always have a place in the hearts of all DJs. Having said this however, in this new digital age it will have to face up to a very tough competition.

The technics SL1200 was first brought to the attention of many DJs in October 1972; however a lot of people do not know that the device was originally released as a consumer record player. Since then the device has quickly spread into the world of DJs. The MK2 upgrade has quickly become one of the best and most favourite turntables for all DJs and their tricks’, including scratching. This turntable has been around for over 30 years, this is partly due to its durability and solid build. This, combined with its fantastic position, has changed the way DJs all over the world choose their decks. There is even one of the SL1200 turntables in the science Museum in London which features a piece of technology that helps shape the history of the modern world.
