A few questions on how to DJ?

hey guys, im 16 and i want to learn how to dj as a hobby. there are a few things i really dont understand though, like i dont know how to actually do it or how it works but i have to start somewhere right?





1) i heard you can use cd's instead of vinyls now? is there any advantages or anything to using cd's or is it just because vinyls are being phased out?


2) if i buy a 2 channel mixer and two cd players, how do i mix songs together? i assume i burn two cds with tracks and mix from one cd then mix from the other etc?


3) if i have a 2 channel mixer and two cd players and i play a mix, how do i get that mix onto my computer? what program can i use to upload it onto my laptop then to save it.





yeah as i said, stupid questions but i dont know anything about it but im wanting to learn.A few questions on how to DJ?
