what stuff do you need for djing?

First and foremost you need an ear for music.  You need to appreciate it and know what is popular and what people will listen to.  The equipment is just there.  A large collection of songs in many different music types, whether you like them or not, is also a plus.

You will need a cassette player (!), PC with a stereo input to soundcard, conversion software, CD writer. Yep that’s about it, oh yeah and a lot of time…..\nNote: if you are using a laptop, you may need a USB external soundcard (mine has only a mono mic input – not good enough!) – you can get cheap, simple but effective ones (from Hong Kong) via ebay…\nYou could get someone to do it for you, friends of mine at: www.cassette2cd.co.uk for one. There are plenty to choose from out on the web, this type of job is perfect for a 'virtual' studio.\nThe software is probably the thing you really want to know about.. you will find loads out there. Personally I use Magix Audio Cleaning Lab – primarily for lifting vinyl, but will take any analogue signal. It has loads of features including cleaning filters, effects and editing… it’s cheap too and even comes with a stereo cable – try ebay. There are loads more, some even free downloads – listen to folks who have used the software then have a go….\nOh yeah, and Magix has automatic track recognition based on silence between tracks and auto-stop recording so you can go out for the day and it will stop at the end of your tape – really useful!! You will use up loads of hard-drive space, so don’t try this if you are pushed for space…You may need to purge the huge files every so often (10MB per minute WAV files, 1MB per minute MP3). You could save some space recording directly into MP3 at the sacrifice of a little sound quality.\nOne last thing, track recognintion works great for CDs in WAV format (for playing in a standard CD player), I don't think it applies to MP3s though as each MP3 file would need to be separated into individual tracks - This is how Magix software treats it anyhow.\nHope this helps

Book a big hall, invite loads of friends then book a DJ. \n\nI would suggest www.funkymonkeydisco.com for the disco.\n\n(OK shamless advertising). Or you could invite friends round and have a DVD a thon with lots of popcorn and snacks.

Techno and House music for sure.  Look for remixes from DJ's alot of them are songs you will already know but remixed.  My favorite DJ is Benny Benassi I would look up some of his stuff like Illusion, Get Better, I love my Sex, Satisfaction\n\nOther good DJ's\nChris Cox\nTony Moran\nMike Rizzo\nLouie DeVito\n\nI could go on forever but you get the point.

Razor wire, proper fencing and support for said razor wire, very heavy gloves (try grease gloves like used in fast food places) or just the heavyist gloves possible, a stapler to attach whatever, or wire or whatever your setting up. And be very god damn careful.

Depends on the music that will satisfy your guest. \n\nA live band will be limted in numbers of song, although the right one could be classy.\nA dj is your best bet and most likely the most diverse.\nA Stero is actually most ideal if done right and the worst disaster if done wrong.\nMeaning if you have an ipod hooked up you better know your guest and pick the song that will get them on the dance floor as well as \n\npick songs that mean something to you.not to mention it is least expensive.

I learned by hanging out with people who currently DJ and watching them. If you don't have those sort of people around (might be harder to find people who know how when you're 13), you can always use the internet. Look for forums, communities and websites that are similar to what you want to do. Look for information on technique and look for some old, used, or cheap gear. Get into it. \n\nYou could also download some programs to help you get a feel for crafting the music. If you can learn how to use some of the programs, virtual drum machines and miscellaneous stuff out there, you'll get it down and keep learning.
