chaff Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Hi Everyone.To introduce myself, my name is Jack and i'm currently doing my HSC in Coffs Harbour, NSW. I live in a small town south of there. However next year I could be somewhere else doing Uni. Im looking to get into Djing just as a hobby/bedroom for a bit of fun.Anywho, I was doing some research regarding Dj-ing, and found a few forums which i found quite interesting, hence I became a member on ADJF. Being a total beginner, I've been trying to get a grasp of the variety of DJ methods used. Having no experience, i'm a bit hesitant to jump right into spending many months savings on gear without having a bit more confirmation of whether or not its going to get decent use. My musical taste: Well, my tastes are pretty varied but at the same time im a bit parochial within genre. However I think part of the DJ experience is getting to discover new music, or music that is at least new to me. So at the moment I listen to a lot of older rock, modern alternative, hip hop, dubstep, and i'm trying to discover new techno & electronic. I'm always keen to discover new music, and share with others.The main decision im going to be making in the next few month is whether to go with vinyl, CDJ or a all in one like the Traktor S4.So any comments or advice, general or specific is very welcome.Cheers,Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
