couldnt you just buy an external soundcard too boost the sound of a cheap controller or just run it through a mixer, thats what i used too do with my little numark cd mixer unit .

This is the kind of video I needed. I have a controller that I love, a great gaming laptop that's totally overkill, and good studio headphones, but I am ready to move from strictly streaming to parties, clubs, bars, etc. But I don't know what I need for parties and venues that don't already have speakers. So this video is what I needed to be able to start building a list of what I need to buy. I want to be able to say "sure, I'll DJ your function, here's my contract that says you'll pay $100/hr and that if my gear is damaged you're liable for the cost to replace it." And show up, find that they don't have shit for audio, etc I'm able to go out to the car and bring in all of my gear and set up. ($100/hr is actually the average price for a decent DJ in my area)

Hey guys! Wantee your opinion on something. The dj gear is really expensive now adays. In my country especially. Wanted to get the ddj1000 ( here second hand 2k euro) than i thought the xz wich is 3500 euro😅
Than i saw cdjs 2000 nexus with xone 92 for 2900 euro . What would you think is good to buy ? Its all expensive i know..

CR DJ school alumnus.. For now I've got a DDJ-1000 with a single Yamaha DXR15 speaker (which packs some serious punch). House parties in Joburg, anyone?

Awesome Thank you

If I have the budget to do so, but i’m a beginner dj wanting to start djing house/dance music, would you go all in with the cdj 2000-3000 set up ?

Kick as dude I’m almost 50 and just starting out. You are a true inspiration!!!!

i started with the ddj sb3 and fenton speakers then up graded the controler to the ddj sx3 and ev zlk 15p speakers , looking to get a sub to go with them and maybe looking at upgrading controler to the xdj xz, for lights i have cheavet mini kinters x2, cheavet fx q5 array x2, cheavet intimadator spot 260 moving heads and some par lights

Heyy buddy, I have a question, maybe you'd be able to help me....
So there's a song that I've been wanting for so many years and the ONLY place I can find it is on a UK site. Do you happen to have any friends, or know someone (ie a friend, or student), that happens to live within that region of the world? The song is only around a buck, I am 100% willing to reimburse them for the song if they could possibly email it to me?
I've honestly searched everywhere I can possibly imagine and the only place I know that currently offers the song is on a UK site.
I would GREATLY APPRECIATE IT, if you'd be able to help me out, I always try to support artists by paying for the songs they make and I really want this song super bad. Hopefully you'd be able to help me?? 🤞

When stepping up in crowd sizes, I'd suggest you investigate your local not for profit party scene. The soundsystems can often be hired informally, it helps keep the party fund intact, and will be installed, monitored, and removed by the owners.

lotta good info in video AND comments!

What’s a good computer to use besides apple Thanks

speaking of gear! just financed a really nice piece of kit, the denon prime 4. amazing piece of kit. best part about the setup is it does not require a laptop.

Renting equipment can be really cheap for a gig if you’re a beginner DJ & don’t have the big bucks for expensive equipment

I’ve been using a Ddj 400, 2 EV ZLX 12s and a party lights bar (Now got a ddj1000 and smoke machine) so far at small-medium events/parties this year and honestly I’m amazed at how well these have all performed. All of this equipment combined with the advice you’ve given throughout the many videos you’ve created, has worked out amazing, I really appreciate your advice and content that you produce. Thank you, Zach

For a recent house party used two Yamaha HS8's, an HS8s sub and two HS5 booth speakers with XDJ RX2, sonic boomed the neighborhood

I run a couple of mackie thump 12a's and a couple of alto ts315s subs. Players are sc5000m's and an x1800 mixer.
Lighting is a mix of all sorts, 9 scx600 scans, 4 cx2 martin lights, 4 ef3 martin flowers.
I have some massive 575w hmi scans, 400w uv cannons and a 1500w strobe.
Centre piece is the martin fog machine I've had almost 20 years and works effortlessly.
Tip is to get the stuff that does the next level of job you are at, nothing worse than just making do.

In my opinion, lights, speaker quality, and enthusiasm are the main areas mobile DJs lack! And let’s face it, mixing ability often too.

I usually see the classic 4 par + 2-4 moving heads setup - which IMO looks way too bright to be ravey, and is quite cheesy. Or it’s a handful of derby style party lights running the same sound active mode show the entire night.

That’s why I’d love to see more DJs taking advantage of DMX! Especially when we’re talking more than the standard par + movers setup

Hey friend, I was wondering if you might consider trying to show a top down view of one of your mixing sessions so we can get a better look at what you are doing as you are mixing it up for us?

I got:
2x DB technologies flexys f315 (3way)
2x DB technologies dva s10 subs

This soundsystem is enough for pretty much everything

I only do private house partys as of now, my current light setup is 4 par's and 2 moving heads, using LightRider to controll them - its amazing and relatively cheap

Just rewatching this, i've done a few outdoor parties and have a ridiculously cheap PA, and it's never done me wrong. DJ gear im sorted, but i feel with the one PA I can't go much bigger than out door parties. But Im not entirely sure how i can test that out, without being thrown into the deep end and possibly letting someone down??

PS absolutely digging these type of video just now, advice and tips that you just can't find anywhere else on the internet right now!

Thanks Andrew I own the xdj xz I might grab a pair of rcf

Hey guys and Andrew :)
I’m wondering if you tried to play on some Denon equipment? Like Denon Prime Go?
Because I used to have DDJ 400, then DDJ 1000, and now because I’m gonna move in a while , I decided to sell it and go mobile and bought Denon Prime Go. And I can see , that I can’t perform, use eq techniques from course the same way , as it was on Pioneer. It’s much harder and eq seems to react differently. Is anyone found out how to set it in settings so it’s sounds similar to Pioneer ? :)

I got the jbl mk II are those alright for a house party about 50 people?

Hey there! Absolutely love your videos and how clear you are. I have a question kind of off topic -
If the DJ before me is playing with USB Sticks in both CDJs, and I am coming in with a Laptop/HID Mode, Do I just plug in my laptop to the open CDJ while the last song is playing out from the prior DJ?
Hope that makes sense but wanted to see how to switch from a DJ playing with USBs to HID laptop mode.
Thanks if you're able to answer this!! Have my first gig on saturday

I'm mostly into Minimal House/Deep Tech and Minimal Techno. Also, the occasional Tech House. I think I'm going to cop this course this week!

if you did a hardstyle/rawstyle/hardcore mix that would be META!

i got my ddj-rb but it's old and can't afford the 1000

For speakers, I use the Rokits. I like the bass and the fact they are bi powered.

Love the channel! I use the Pioneer DDJ-1000. I didn't have the 4-6k for the actual club set up and the 1000 is as close as you can get to the club set up on a controller. So, I feel like I am at least getting used to a lay out that is similar to the club. My next purchase is prob the CDJ 3000, which I will link to the 1000 and use to get more familiar with the club players (even though I doubt that most clubs have the 3000's yet). I also have the Prime 4 but I like the 1000 better, it is more intuitive for my style.

Hi, another option to get more headroom from a controller is to run it thru another device, like a mixer. I use the soundcard from the Mac (good enough quality wise, as with Apple products) thru a 2nd hand Numark mixer, that gives me the opportunity to play additional inputs, as well as a high quality Mic input. Also, my system, which was all 2nd hand, includes mixer in flightcase, 3 ch, all in one speaker system (2 sats on stands, and 15 inch sub/amp unit) 2 scanner lights, 2 moons, and a floor stand scanner, £250 all in, ebay, local ads etc.... done many 50-75 people discos, weddings, partys, all private, but after every one, I get asked if I do this for another party for someone else in attendance! I dont even have a controller, its all on the laptop, but its having fun and creating atmosphere and good sounds :-) Think next investment is smoke machine to help bring the lights to life.

Pubg song tunig

I use an XDJ RX2, in a flight case, 2KRK Rokit G4 8s, and an Odyssey folding DJ Booth. Plenty loud, easily transported, and looks and sounds very professional.

Ngl I’m kinda scared to mix in front of my dad sometimes like I kinda think I would be doing good at a house party cuz I wanna do good but people don’t need to see what I’m doing like breath in my neck that would be anoying

My JBL eon 615s are dope and easy to move.

Grab a cheap pair of Vonyx 1000w from djcity.
Fine for now!

I started with a Hercules instinct 2 an aiwa 2k amp and a pair of Ministry of Sound stand alone speakers and a 10 inch Sub .

I've just picked up a Denon Prime Go and a Bose S1 Pro. I picked them up because they are battery powered, and I can't wait to use them for some small remote outdoor parties this summer 🎶

another great video appreciating the free stuff keep it up thanks...

RCF are true Italian made great quality that continue to serve for many of us for many years. Treat them right, and they will take care of you. Even low end RCFs are better than other brands high end products.

Always bring an assistant and pay them for the event, also don’t forget to split the tips if any.

I have rocked the house with a pair of 350 mackies and a Pioneer SX. When I need the house to shake, I bring out the 450 mackies. pawn shops are your friend here for discount gear.

Where can we watch the stream ?

For speakers I've been using a Sony CFD G55 boombox since it's the loudest thing I have but I just ordered a JBL Extreme 2 for more portability. At home I use a 2.1 Polk home theater system that I thrifted for like $150. I've also gotten away with using Logitech z313's and Bose computer speakers for small back yard functions. So I'd say if you don't have any speakers just get what you can afford and just get yourself out there.

Also check out Gemini speakers that are also pretty good they are on Amazon

Inspired by Andrew last year by watching his you tube videos i purchased the crdj course. It’s been an amazing course and I now have strong fundamentals but still learning and loving my new found hobby. It’s definately worth the money for anyone wanting to learn. Andrew replied to my emails after struggling to choose speakers to which I bought the rcf 315a absolute phenomenal speakers.
The setup I have is
2x pioneer cdj 900 nexus
1x pioneer djm 750 mk2
2x rcf 315a speakers

can you plz make a video on recording the set specially on rekordbox, cuz when I record my sets i always try to keep the volume of the channels and the master on the green light but then it happened to be low when I listen to the set later.
