Official shroomery Production/dj Tips and Tricks thread. 1

So, you want to learn to dj? Or maybe you already do but want to learn more.
This is a thread for Dj info. Software, hardware, genres, the works.
Seems I Am a bit behind the times myself when it comes to hardware. I am wondering what the standard is for hardware these days?
I played a show last night, and everyone but me was using a serato hooked up to vinyl, which I have never seen used before, but knew of it.
for my setup I use 2 denon S1000 CD tables and a numark mixer. Which I guess is extremely out of date already. But it seems to work fine for me.
Also, 2 out of 3 dj's I meet are complete dicks, and just assume they know EVERYTHING, and they are of course better than everyone. What has gone wrong?

I have some friends that use serato, but it's mostly because they prefer to sync with vinyl, and they wan't to use music that is only released digital.

Well, It you want to get into production you could get started for free, but that is a long dedication to make if you want to be good at all.
I can answer a lot of questions in that field.

Cool thread, I think I will post here and read. I recently reinvented my production setup. I sold all of my old equipment for new, I still have a love for hardware, but I don't need as much as I used to.
Here is my old setup, bunch of random pieces I had when I was 17.
After a five year hiatus, this is now ten years later... still need some good monitors, soundcard and my audio dedicated laptop is in the mail.
Running Ableton 8, via APC40 and M-Audio Axiom 25.. its so smooth.
I like to DJ too sometimes, I would love to play my music for the masses one day.

Honestly I made that in one hour after I got everything setup. I think I might be able to make some really nice stuff with this setup. Its relatively user friendly.
Dude I really like your music too, care to share what you use? I'm a big psytrance fan but I seem to have trouble producing it. I still have a few of my old tracks on www.zebox.com/effed they are somewhat trancy but not so much psy..

I use Cubase 5 with a ton of VST's.
I have a radium 49 keyboard and a Steinberg ci2 interface.
Thanks for listening!

My dad used to be a DJ. I would always go to weddings and shit with him, it was really fun. He stopped now because he couldn't lift all the equipment by himself. He had a killer lighting system. I wish I still had the pictures, maybe I can dig some up.

sick wobble effed.
uhg i need decent monitor speakers. my speakers have both a really wacky color to them, and the stereo separation is weird. So i'll spend 5-6 hours EQing something and adding effects, and it sounds like garbage on anything but my speakers.
but yeah, effed let us collaborate!

I've got an axiom-49, korg padkontrol, shure sm57 mic, stanton str8-80 table and stanton mixer (and various percussion instruments). I really want to get a bass, so that'll probably be the next piece of equipment I'll get.

I like this site a lot: http://www.macosxaudio.com
It has a pretty good forum for learning about new software and production techniques.

Download a sequencer.
you main choices are:
Cubase Reason Logic Abeltone live Acid Fruity Loops
I personally use Cubase, and thing it is the shit. But ask around, see what would be best for you.
