i started out on geminis xl 300...they are not good..but they get the job done like you said..all my friends have techs 1200,,,i started out on real records.....now im on serato....im only 15....im gooing to send you a my sound cloud acc...
Im not a fake. I learned on the Tech 1200s and vinyl and didnt use a sync or a BPM counter to learn to match beats. I'm more of a DMC style DJ than a club/bar DJ. i used to play out back in 2001-2007, but now im just practicing my DMC tricks. I do use Serato SL now though.
I'm from Mexico City now I live in the state of Colorado and I have been djing for many years. I started djing with 2 tape players at my friend’s parties and you are right use what you have :)
@pampers1919 real dj's get payd and use what ever they have on hand. the fact that you want to carry creates of vinyl doesn't make you a real dj, how ever i must say it does make you a strong dj.
yessiirrr... no need to upgrade if you got something working for you. allso if i mite add cheep equippment doesnot allways mean its shitty so with that being said its allways good to rock on the stuff you allready have
bro i swear i posted a comment on this vid!!!!! lol u blocking me!?? but lemme say again then "thanks for the advice bro! definitely true!. and Brian you have great equipment don't buy something that you already have! ur mixer is perfect bro! again thanks for the advice guys! big shouts!"
anyway, those little guys, they rocking out!!! much respect!!
I still have the mix I bought it in Radio Shack 17 years ago!! & guess what? still working, I don't know why I upgrade it. The good thing is I have something much better now, which I need to learn how to scratch now.
Thanks for all da advice.
btw. same lov 4 U guys (even do, Im still a wannabe DJ) lol
dont normally comment but you guys r speaking the truth i remember back in days 11 years ago i was mixing with one tape player and one 5 disc cd changer no pitch fader. but i still took out the techies. what i always say the high tech stuff dont make u a better mixer it just makes u lazy damn new stuff practically mix its self. sometimes its good to go back to ur first system which i still have and check yourself. just remember real djs do it for the luv of the art not the business.
nuff said i started off 4 years ago wit a used pair of cdn 90's lol rocked the rest of the life in those den got a pair of stantons from a retired dj which im rocking out now when those die then its th eupgrade!!! check out my vids and you guys will see u dont need pioneers to rock a set!! big ups! n gillboogie n luoiemix pushed u at the end LMAO
WOW, I feel the love!!! LOL. If I ever get back into the mobile biz i would rep M.U. to the fullest. You guys do it right. Great video. Sound advice. I agree you should only upgrade if your gear is damaged or you have outgrown it and are ready to upgrade. Nice to see ZOOMA in a video But he needs to bless us with another 10 minute mix.
P/S YOU ONLY HATIN ON ME CAUSE JERSEY DON'T HAVE A BASEBALL TEAM... LOL.
what up foolio im a faker just like you jjajaj puro San Diego, Califas jajja and ponte trucha soon im gonna respond to your video that you did few weeks ago i just had some problems ponte trucha if you dont want a bullet in your head jajjaja
who ever said that i was funny but i dont give i shhhh about you im hatin i hate mu i hate gilboogie i even hate my self i got so much hate rite not only for gilboogie
I guess they call you grumpy for a reason. You need to get back in D.J.ing fast!!!! Music is the key!!!! After a few good mix sessions the joy and happiness will return in your life and you won't be full of hate.
i just want to say fuck gilboogie ones i get back on this djing i just have some personal problems trust me im going to respond to that foolio puro San Diego, CA
Hey I say its all true I have the same lights and speakers and amp and mixer and cd players that I bought 6 years ago when I started DJing and Im not buying or upgrading till they act up.
another point i thought i should bring up is take care of your equipment, buys cases, covers etc. anything to protect them, keep them clean and they will last you longer no matter what brand they made.
real nice advice guys, but i don't know if i can take it lol, i think i have the clinical condition of most djs - constant updateitis, its an affliction i tell you!
good advice man, I totally agree with you I get bugged all the time by young dj's asking me what they should buy next or upgread to, I don't mind helping them out one bit tho but most of them are always worried an image and what some of the big guys will think of there cheap gear
I agree with everything except the product reviews. I've found out things important things about equipment that I've needed to replace by watching product reviews, and suggestions from other DJ's.
100% best quote "DON'T FIX IT or Replace it, if it's not BROKE!"
LMFAO!!! I HATE DJS that have bad a** nice equipment but the sound quality JUST SUCKS!!! Dude BUY THE DAMN $10 CABLE, DONT BE LAZY!! You dont have just look good, YOU HAVE TO SOUND GOOD ALSO!! And to all the DJs that be spending more money on players and lights, MAKE SURE YOUR SOUND IS TOP NOTCH!! I would rather put my money into a top notch sound system FIRST and build from there!!! HOW CAN I JOIN MUSICA UNION??? LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO SAN ANTO!!!
Great Advice big Kudos...damn i still have the tables i bought 20 years ago...guess what they are...Gemini xl-400 II... hey Caz They Got to fix that :) what your step..LMAO
I have mix feelings about it, but i do remember radio shack gear, mixers amps , and police beacons but it worked, and everyone can make there own mind on what to use, nad how to make it work.... but in my mind is that DJ using radio shack gear is better then i am , and i use jbl,mackie, and etc.... so just make it work with what u have.....
Great vid and advise! We need to stop worrying about what to buy next and work on our skills first. You can have the best stuff and sound like a train wreck every blend. That's terrible.
I am on board with this video. My first system was my home stereo and a subwoofer box taken out of a truck with Christmas Lights. It took YEARS to get what I have. If you can use the basics then you'll know where you need to go from there. Excellent vid!
you guys r right lol wat i do need is speakers help me with dat lol but thanks ill save up now thanks so mcuh i love mu we gotta huck up some time i lvoe u guys u no my dream MMMMMMMMMMMMMMUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
If you can do it on crap you will be great on the good stuff __ I started out without a mixer I just had a Y adapter Damn you had to be on beat thenLOL
Ahh kids.. they'll never learn. They love toys and sometimes forget about the craft.
Remember ellaskins's videos before he had every piece of kit known to man? He was mixing with 2 beat up technics and some no name mixer. He also had a cheap dual CD player with pitch and rocked it!
Some of the best DJs I've ever seen were in the bedroom with junk, but worked it!
LOL!! funny video. i have been in buisness since i was 10. like i said in my vid "Practice & N'Joy". I never thought of those advise. Thanks DJ Caz & Zooma.
darn i was expecting a rant or something lol. sweet video guys it just helped me out, now im probably not going to sell my stuff since it all works fine ill probably keep on useing it till it breaks and spend on other important things like trussing lights and an amp or 2
lmao i felt for it -_-
