So here I am, once again, I've decided I'll make something else...
I want to get serious about mixing and making some good music, here's what I've been able to do so far:
1. Create songs using fruity loops, some trance and some kind of trip hop, some of my friends said it was OK.
2. Mix mp3s with some progam I downloaded from download.com, I kinda did it but my demo expired, so I kept myself out of that.
So now I want to start been seen, mix in clubs, if possible my own music, I have never put my hands on a turn table before, but I doubt not I can do it...
So here comes the questions:
1. What kind of equipment will I need?? I've been thinking a set of turntables and a mixer, and equipment similar to what comes in rebirth a couple of rhythm machines, a tweak box and something for the basses (a tweak box?) I can play some keyboard also...
2. Since all the stuff I make in fruity loops comes out as .wav I doubt I can easily get that to vinyls (yes, I alredy readed that other threat) so what about CD players instead of turntables? I've seen some that you can even use to scratch just like vinyls!! but they are expensive ASS.
3. How expensive is it to buy enought LP's to play during a WHOLE NIGHT? where can I buy them?
Here's the deal, right now I live in St. Louis, but for summer I'll be moving to my country (Adorable Colombia) where I've seen I could have an oportunity to get some gigs, and I'll be there for around 6 months, so I have until july to learn and work hard to buy the equipmet I'll need... do you think it's possible to learn in this time enouth so I can be hired in a club as a DJ?
