Scream and Shout asked:


I have always wanted to become a DJ but don’t know where to start, what equipment to buy and software i should use. I am currently using virtual dj but its not what i am looking for, i want to start making my own electro, dub-step songs and later mix them live.
what is the the right software for me?

NRG asked:


I love the female voice keyboards in Trance Music, I especially love the tune Easter Island by Art Of Trance ,Cygnus X remix.
I am looking for the instrumental tunes with keyboard voice and something that I can play in the truck while driving. Or in the earbuds while working on my Mac.

JB asked:


What is the best turntable that will NOT be used for DJ purposes and will NOT be used to transfer songs onto a computer? We only want to listen to the record, and it needs to have a somewhat modern output to plug into a line-in input. A headphone jack or equivalent would probably work.

We would like something a bit more vintage, but we just want to be able to plug an audio line into our current speaker set-up. Thanks!

2cool4skool asked:


I love to beatbox and have been doing so for about 3 years although only recently have I been very interested in it. I have a creative fast moving mind, and I love making beats and rthym. Considering those things it seems like I would like being a DJ. How is it similar to beatboxing? I know the equipment needed for DJing is very expensive, but isnt there some cheap stuff I can buy just to see if I would be interested?
