I'm going to be adding threads for this but this is just a run down of the things I am going to include..


1; Equipment.

DJing equipment
01. Turntables
02. CDJ's.*
03. Timecode*
04. Controllers*
05. Mixers
06. Other

Sound
01. Homesound systems*
02. Headphones
03. Microphones

Furniture

2; DJ Etiquette
01. Dubs; how to get them.**
02. Playing out; drinking vs smoking vs sober**
03. How to keep producers sending you tunes.**


3; Techniques/'need to know'

I like this idea cause I have very little knowledge of DJ'ing and producing but I am going to start DJ'ing when I get too frustrated at producing so its almost like I'm killing 2 birds with 1 stone, but anyways. Looking forward to this being completed. Also I appreciate the work that will go into this.

Again, thanks!

Fair enough, just noticed the "** - Discussion lead rather than a 'how to'" mark.
Most DJs I know (myself included) tend to rock a bit harder at least a little liquored up.

Never understood this. You wouldn't go do a normal job pissed up and risk ruining it, so why do DJ's see it as more acceptable? Just get pissed after you play!
