DJ Equipment Question?

So im looking to get into DJing, but i dont really know what kind of equipment id need? Obviously im a beginner, so i wouldnt be doing much scratching or anything (atleast not till i learn more). I thinking just learning how to mix songs i guess, you know, for some parties and such.





What kind of equipment would i need? I see djs at clubs with turntables that use vinyl, then i see others with ones hooked up to a laptop, then others hooked up to a laptop but no vinyl. Its kinda confusing...





Can anyone shine some light on this matter for me?





ThanksDJ Equipment Question?
To start off, you're going to most likely need a laptop, obviously. Now, with this, you're going to want at MINIMUM to buy a cheap amplifier (around 100 dollars or so) and speakers (50-100 dollars as well). With this, you're going to want to purchase the program ';Virtual DJ'; which is very good for mixing music and such. (if you're not into mixing and everything, just make a playlist.)





You won't need a mixer or turntable to start off with so soon, but think about purchasing them as you improve more at DJing.





Also, purchase some fog machines or lighting equipment, as it could come really handy at certain parties.





If you want a good site to purchase cheap Djing equipment and sets, go to the one I always use http://www.cheapdjgear.us





On the left you'll see the certain equipment seperated from each other. Just browse through them and purchase what need be.





**ALSO** NEVER DJ using speakers plugged directly into your computer. It will blow out your system and speakers and really mess things up, so make sure you purchase an amp with the speakers you get, and make sure the watts on the amp support the speakers you purchase.





Good luck!
