Many higher-end mixers come with better built-in sound cards with higher sample rates, but they can start to get costly. They lastly provide the ‘sound card’ or ‘interface’ to actually process the music you’re portraying to your audience. You also plug your DJ headphones into these (along with your speakers if you’re performing) to preview what’s coming up next. For one, you can integrate the ‘slider’ to scratch properly, but many others can use it to control volume levels, panning, FX, tone, and more.

Who knows, you can always start with a DJ controller, some software and a laptop for DJ’s or computer and add-on some analog gear later down the road, or vice versa. We’ll leave it up to you when it comes to what direction you want and which gear you’d like to start collecting (we highlight all possibilities in this guide). It’ll cost some more money and entail you have more gear in your station, but it’ll give you both analog and digital ‘feel’ and capabilities, allowing you to cover all of your bases at once to make sure you’re covered. This is definitely the most popular direction for a DJ beginner right now and one that we safely recommend the most - not because it’s necessarily our personal preference, but in all honesty, it’s time to be real and if you’re just starting out DJ’ing in this decade, you want to go with that the crowd is doing, especially if you’re going to be investing time into learning this amazing hobby (and profession).ĭon’t get us wrong, ‘hybrid’ setups, which include both a turntable, perhaps a mixer, and a few DJ controllers are probably your best bet eventually. We can now control what turntables and a mixer used to provide in one piece of gear, some software, and a PC\Mac. As we’ll explain below, DJ controllers have paved the way for us to control everything using a computer in every way possible.
If you’re at the complete beginning stages of DJ’ing, we highly recommend at least a significant portion of your setup being digital. On the other hand, in this day and age with the advancement of technology and computers, we have what we call ‘digital DJ setups’. Considered ‘old school’, we see here a few turntables, a mixer and some power outlets only needed! This is definitely considered “rare” nowadays, but still a legitimate (we’ll always back you up) direction for a DJ gear setup. The main question we’d first like to ask is: do you want a traditional and “classic” analog setup with two turntables, one mixer and additional accessories as your work station? We’re talking old-school DJ’s (it feels weird to call this ‘old-school’ we’ll be honest) scratching with two records and a mixer in between you to fade in and out of your mashups and scribbling. Nowadays, we have a few options when it comes to a DJ setup. We’ll explain in detail what each “type of equipment” is in a few moments however, let’s look into what type of DJ setup you want to build. Before we get into our picks for the best DJ equipment for beginners, we’d like to highlight a few factors we want you to keep in mind while putting together a DJ setup.
