>>DJ Basics
DJ turntables are the key tool used by club DJs. One of the best and most well known type of DJ turn tables is the Technics turntable. What is beat mixing using a Technics turn table? When playing music off records being able to change the tempo of tracks is essential to keep the dance floor moving. One record's tempo can be changed to match the other and allow the rhythmical sections (I mean the drums) to overlap. This pitch adjustment of the records beats per minute (BPM, tempo) is possible on the legendary Technics turntables the SL1200 and SL1210.

>> What is the basic equipment I need?
The basic equipment list in order to start practicing to mix is this:

>>  
  • 2 x Turntables (get good direct drives like Technics turntables the SL1200/1210 or Vestax PDX 2000)
  • 2 x SlipMats
  • 2 x Needles for the Turntables
  • 1 x Mixer
  • 1 x Set of Headphones
  • A stereo system
