books on how to DJ are pretty much useless.
Mistake #2:
"I can learn how to DJ by using my friends DJ equipment..."
This is another big hindrance and probably the most unbeknown to beginner DJ's. This catchesmost new DJ's off guard because learning DJ skills and techniques on another persons DJequipment will
hinder your development
to personalize and create your own style. Why?Because you can only use their equipment when they're available. Besides, owning your ownDJ equipment allows you
explore your creativity on your own time
when that spectacular idea pops in your head!.
Mistake #3
"I'll just buy some cheap DJ equipment and learn on that..."
Using "cheap DJ equipment" is basically like committing a crime in the DJ community. Avoidthis mistake at all costs. There are many reasons why you should but here are the biggestreasons. (1) Belt drive turntables are worthless for DJ's and they are not made for DJing. (2)Using cheap DJ equipment will only throw your DJ skills and techniques off. (3) Buy the rightDJ the first time because like I've told tens of thousands of people "DJing is easy when youhave the right equipment."
