Whether we like it or not times are changing whether its technology,
life styles, global warming or in this subject even people’s
taste in music. For some this can be for the better or the
worse but no matter what we do it is changing and when it
comes down to music a successful performance by a disk jockey
depends on the presence of the right DJ equipment. This, along
with along with adequate musical talents plays a very important
role in the career of a DJ or any other musician for that
matter. Having the right equipment is the best advantage a
DJ can have. Any DJ gear other than real pro gear will only
throw a person's skills and techniques off. It is always advisable
to get the right DJ gear the first time. The Technics-1200
or 1210 turntables are industry standard and are widely recommended
by most DJs as the best vinyl decks around or typically the
Pioneer CDJ1000 as the best CD deck you can get but now there
are more hidden giants coming and already are here like PCDJ,
Numark Cue and many more wonderful DJ software. Companies
such as ION have released huge selling items like the ION
USB turntable that converts Vinyl to MP3 which has been widely
recommended as one of the best selling items of 2006 especially
for that generation who have the masses of vinyl just sitting
there in the loft gathering dust. Other Items that are going
to be a huge hit this year will be items like the fully programmable
ION Drumkit.
However, the most important thing to remember is that it is
not the equipment that entertains, but is definitely the DJ
himself. Owning the latest equipment won't make a person any
better as a DJ. It is possible to start up on a budget of
about £1000, which will enable a person to purchase a sound
system from manufactures like KAM, Gemini, JBL, Peavey and
a few lighting effects like Pro Light Magic Gobo’s. In case
the budget won't stretch to this, a person may need to consider
buying 2nd hand or leasing the equipment from companies such

Purchasing a wide-ranging music library is far more important
than how much lighting a DJ has, and should be the first consideration.
A DJ can build up on the lighting, and upgrade the sound system
if required once the work starts coming in to substantiate
it. The most important equipment required by mobile disc jockeys
consists of sound recordings in preferred medium, which is
often vinyl records, compact discs and mp3s. Two devices for
playback of sound recordings are also required for the purpose
of alternating back and forth and creating continuous playback.
A sound system meant for magnification of the recordings is
required for broadcasting the music. Apart from this, a DJ
may also need a mixer and a microphone.
Headphones used to listen to one recording while the other
is playing, without transmitting the sound to the audience
is also strongly recommended. Other equipments may also be
added. These include drum machines, samplers, effects processors,
and computerized performance systems. Opinions of other experienced
DJs, magazines and a number of websites prove to be an efficient
guide in purchasing the right kind of equipment.
