Instructions
Step 1
Answer yourself to the question: "Why do I want to become a DJ?" If you just want to amuse your buddies at a house party, then all other tips are not for you. You can download simple programs Tractor DJ Studio or Virtual DJ, learn how to work with them, this skill will be quite enough for a home-party.
If you are more ambitious and want to conquer the big dance floors of your city (and preferably the whole country), then … anyway, download one of these two programs and figure out how it works. This will give you the basics of information.
Step 2
Start collecting your music collection. A good DJ is, first of all, a collector, he cannot afford to play two identical sets. So if you are really ambitious, then it is not the public who should dictate their will to you, but you - to her. Famous DJs are known not only for their skill, but also for the fact that new styles were born through their active interaction with musicians.
Your collection can be stored in different media. Modern DJ plays not only on classic vinyl, but also on CDs and even mp3 (naturally, with a high bitrate). Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages: vinyl, for example, has a deep sound, but at the same time you need to have remarkable strength to bring 20-25 records to the club.
Step 3
Sign up for a DJ course. There are a lot of them - from very expensive to budget options.
Step 4
Buy yourself some equipment. Do this after you are sure that you really want to be a DJ, because the hardware is not cheap.
Things necessary for a modern DJ: a laptop with a good processor and Fire-Wire output, a professional external sound card, a controller, turntables, a remote control, and professional headphones. Expect to invest about 100,000 rubles in this electronics.
Step 5
Participate in different events - festivals, dj-battle, etc. If there are no such in your city, try to arrange them yourself. Make your way to the clubs and train, train, train. Your mixes should be harmonious (the tracks should flow from one another) and technical (inaccuracies in the mixing annoy the audience).
