    I’m a producer and I’ve got a PC with FL Studio 9, virtual synths, samples and Pioneer HDJ-1000 Headphones. I don’t need more stuff at all to be a professional producer. But of course more money means more possibilities. But it’s more important with money if you wanna be a DJ than if you wanna be a producer.

  12. BalloonSoldier Says:

    Yea thats a little bit off…
    If you spend any less than 300 bucks on each turntable, then you are getting garbage and itll break within a week.
    Speakers are the only place you can cut corners and be alright.
    A mixer, and 2 turntables, for a beginning dj, should run you about $1,000 or else you wont be able to develop your skills and will suffer with poor equipment.
    DJing is not a cheap hobby.

  13. soryy708 Says:

    Okay speakers should cost 100 bucks, turn tables are like 50 bucks, and a mixer is another 50.

  14. wiiboy555 Says:

  21. Tato9412 Says:

    wow he is sooo wrong man! this is if you want to spend to much and want to be a dj. I think for being a good dj you have to be imaginative and creative craating and mixing your sounds!

  22. JustinPrasad221 Says:

    go to the m-audio website, it should be on there

  23. JustinPrasad221 Says:

    you dont need a mac to be a pro, you also dont need your own set of commercial speakers…

    you dont need a bunch of amps either, just 1, two at most…
