Headphones

     I  love shoes but when I went shopping for Headphones...wow.. .I feel in love with them, too! They can also be very hot! I had to keep in mind though...like shoes, it's about the quality, durability ..and then the style. You could have the nicest headphones aesthetically, but are a piece of junk.
     When it comes to headphones you can spend as mininal as $100.00 to $400.00. At times, price dictates what you can buy, and it can sometimes be an indicator of quality.
     Best advice was given to me by a musician. He said to try several pairs and compare them while 2 are plugged in at the same time. Try them on and listen back and forth between the two. Listen carefully to what is going on. What can you hear the most in the track? What can you hear the least in the track? Does the sound feel like it is close or far? Try many on and get a good feeling of what works for you. If you have a CD with you, even better because you can listen to a track you know.

     For me...a difficult thing was to find a pair that I felt comfortble while rotating and placing on and off the ear. Some of them were very big and slipped off and others were just awkward. I ended up buying a Denon brand. The DN-HP1000 are a mid-range headphone and they work for me!
     After I purchased my headphones, I did see some WESC brand headphones that were very cool. I will have to checkout their website and look up their reviews. I found them at a cool sneaker shop called 'Normal' and was unable to listen to them in the store. Headphones are not returnable most of the time because of hygiene, so make sure you do your research!!!
Happy headphone listening!

Music Sources=Music DJ Equipment

What type of music sources are out there? What still exists?
1. Records  a.k.a Vinyl
2. Compact Disk  a.k.a CD
3. Digital files like MP3's or other format.
    Which are stored on: computer / IPOD/MP3 player/ USB port/ External Hard drive
Obsolete: cassette
                8 Track (LOL)

So the list below will include various ways to play all these types of music sources as a DJ.
    
     For all sources above, DJ equipment is made to play them.  Some may think that this is basic but you cannot assume that everyone has this knowledge. What I learned is....don't assume anything!!!!

What can you play the music on and in what form?
1. 12 inch record turntables with real needles ( My vision of a DJ).
2. smaller simulated turntables that you can insert a CD /USB stick/computer USB/External drive
3. smaller simulated turntables to attach only to a USB cable to a computer
4. a midi controller with the mixer and simulated turntables to a USB a computer

     Once you have figured that out, you must take further steps to see what works for you. What do you want to use? That is a daunting question if you have never DJ'd before.
