Let’s talk what DJ equipment that you need as a DJ. Here is your standard DJ equipment to play music:

Two input devices. You can choose from CD players, MP3 players, a PC with DJing software, or the more traditional vinyl turntables.

A mixer. This box of tricks lets you change from one tune to the other. Different mixers have better control over  how you can treat the sound as you mix from tune to tune.

A pair of headphones. Headphones are essential for listening to your next record while one is already playing.

Amplification. You have to be heard, and depending on the music you play, you have to be LOUD!

Records/CDs/MP3s. What’s a DJ without something to play?

Providing that your wallet is big enough, making the choice between CD and vinyl is no longer a quandary. The functions on a turntable are equally matched by those on a CD player, so the decision comes down to aesthetics, money, and what kind of person you are.

You may like the retro feel of vinyl and find that the music you want to play is available on vinyl, or you may like the modern look of CD players or laptops, and prefer the ready availability of MP3s and CDs – it’s your choice.
