ok now im past having arguments about cloudkillers for fun lol. I'm limited on money as im going to a 50k a year school, and the only speakers i have are $100 studio monitors. What speakers u think i would need? also, im planning on figuring out how to dj using just my launchpad and midi keyboard... probs gunna need more controllers for that, might just get a turntable/mixer all in one thingamajig... still exploring my options.

iv seen skrillex. what do u mean by cheat? never really looked into how he does it.

Schools understandable, I went to Penn State, as Im sure rayman can attest, its not the most expensive school in the world, but its an investment none the less. On a low budget, for speakers, Id think about starting a save-up fund for some better monitors Adam and Yamaha both have really good studio monitor lines... With a good set of monitors with a clean response curve, youll fairly rapidly feel the increase in your workflow after your ears adapt. A good set of nearfeild monitors is step one for anyone who wants to produce.
If you actually want a small PA rig, theres a comapny called b52 that do 4x15 stereo loudspeakers + 2x18 subs, they're expensive from a consumer standpoint, but also, a million fold cheaper then some of the great systems out there, and worth the investment if you wanna get into the house party/renegade circuit. This is worthless as a producer though, DJ luxuries like.

As for what to learn mixing on, I learned how to beatmatch on a numark cdmix1, back then they were a couple hundred bucks, nowadays you can get one for right around 49 american used. I definately recommend learning on CDJs or turntables before you really get into software DJing... Software can become a real annoyance if it doesnt function 100%, and that sorta stuff can really discourage a newbie. Also, learning your basic in-ear beatmatching on a traditional pitch-fader system will be the single most valuable asset to yourself as a DJ, itll make it possible for you to play seemlessly on virtually any setup your ever put in front of, because youll be doing it by ear.

the joke on the mainstream producer dude was just one about all-pc DJs, and how they'd be lost in front of a traditional DJ rig.

Either way you're getting laid...the only difference is whether you pay for it or not.
