Digital DJ Tips reader Eijah writes: “My plan in DJing is to reach the stage where I’ve made a name for myself in my region, and I’m working really hard towards that goal by reading and taking notes on everything I can find here and elsewhere.

It’s at this girl’s house, and they removed all the furniture from their living room, and they blacked out alllll the windows and walls, and we’re wearing black (the birthday girl is in white) and painting ourselves with the paint before the party starts, and there will be blacklights all over and a DJ and 63 sweaty bodies crammed into a space that only fits 30 (the girl didn’t expect. I use a Traktor s4 mk2 and Maschine running on a Macbook. I will only be using them for house parties, either indoor/outdoor. I'm after something around the $300-$400 price mark, but don't mind spending more if need be. Aug 02, 2018 We started by listing the ten best ones, that has had the best reviews, and then we read up on them all to find out both what the makers say about them, but mainly what the DJs in the world think! If you find it impossible to choose your DJ software for music production, then why not try some of them for free before you commit? A disc jockey, more commonly abbreviated as DJ, is a person who plays existing recorded music for a live audience. Most common types of DJs include radio DJs, club DJs, who perform at a nightclub or music festival and turntablists who uses record players, usually turntables, to manipulate sounds on phonograph records.Originally, the 'disc' in 'disc jockey' referred to gramophone records, but.

“I plan to play my first gig in August. I will have my PA system in May and I plan on getting the Numark Mixtrack Pro 2 and a PA mixer over the early summer by working summer jobs. My question is, for my first few gigs, how much should I charge hourly? Thanks for all the help!”

Great attitude, Eijah, remember gigs are everything, so get your first bookings as soon as you can! I can tell you’re doing this for passion not money which is good, and I can also tell that you’ve set your sights realistically. What I don’t know is where you are, what kinds of gigs you want to play (I am guessing you’re not going to be picky at first, and will be happy to play mobile gigs, parties etc wherever you can get them, which is good), and so in all honesty, what you might be able to charge.

As a new DJ, you should definitely charge less that an experienced DJ would (you’re not as good), but a couple of things. Firstly, charging by the hour is maybe not the way to go: Negotiate a set rate. One exception is if you want to negotiate a set rate then an “add on” rate for any time over and above that (say, they ask you to play for another two hours at the end).

The second thing is this: You’re not only charging for yourself as a DJ, you’re effectively charging for the rental of your gear, too. So while you’d never show these two calculations to someone booking you, you need to make them. How much should you charge for gear rental? Well, that depends on how good your gear is and how much it would cost to rent it where you live.

So you may decide to charge $50 for your DJing services and $50 for your gear for a show, or you may decide to charge $250 for each component, meaning by these figures your fees will be between $100 and $500. The point is not to follow my numbers (as I say, I’ve no idea what the “rates” are where you are), but rather to understand how to calculate them. That should ensure you don’t undercharge, and also that you know how to confidently increase your prices as your gear expands and improves, and as you get better established.

Would you like to add anything to help Eijah work out how much he should charge for the rental of “PA plus DJ”? Please share your own experiences and thoughts in the comments.

I would say a huge NO to those speakers. You need to up your budget. Get powered speakers with prices starting at minimum $300 each for the mids and highs , and a powered sub starting at $500. Anything cheaper and you will be in for a world of disappointment. For this you will get at minimum 250w for the tops each and 800w for the sub. Note I haven’t used any brand names. This is deliberate as the prices I have mentioned really should get you a PA you will be happy with regardless of brand.

I don’t know these particular speakers, but … with speakers in general you get what you pay for. And at 115,00 a piece, I wouldn’t be expecing miracles. Apart from that they are passive, so you still need to buy a halfway decent 2x 400W amp to go with it. And away goes your budget.
In order of preference, my advice would be:
1) Rent speakers if you need more than your M-Audio’s and have the people you play for foot the bill for the speakers (you are already doing the DJ-ing, right!?) A set of decent active speakers can be had for 40 bucks a night or so.
2) Buy used active PA speakers of a decent brand (Mackie SRM350s or Thumps are a good choice, but there are plenty of others out there). They will sound better at 5 years old (and last another 5 easy) than the new cheap ones right out of the box.
Finally a word on floor speakers … don’t use them!
They are big, unwieldy, usually heavy, but that can be overcome. What can’t be overcome is that the high frequency drivers will sit at belly button level or below, instead of above ear height. This will make a lot of high frequency sound “disappear” as far as the people on the floor are concerned, making your sound a lot duller than it needs to be. Another drawback is that speakers on the floor have a tendency to muddy the bass quite a bit. So you end up with not too tight but too much bass and too little high.
Even if you were to get speakers like these:

be sure to put them on stands making the high tone speakers sit at 6+feet.

I’m gonna share my storey as I’ve just finishing addressing the same question you have.
I have my first house party in a couple of weeks and I kept asking everyone the same question you’ve just asked.
It wasn’t until I spoke to good friend of mine recently when I made my decision.
I was talking to my friend who is a bit of an audiophile and has a couple of really nice floor speakers – a bit bigger than the ones you just linked.
I was explaining to him I need some speakers for the upcoming party (of which he is coming). He said hey no problem mate you can borrow mine there back from the repair shop now. I said ‘Oh! Why is that’ He said ‘Dunno what happened but after the last house party I had they’d blown’ He had a DJ and usual mixer setup running.
Then a voice in the back of my head reminded me of the countless times I’ve listened to Phil in one of his videos and read in these forums NEVER to use HiFi speakers with DJ equipment coz they shred the speakers.
I pop onto Ebay and snagged a sweet pair of hardly used 15″ Mackie Thumps. Tested them last week at my mates yard and no matter how much drink we had they ‘Just Kept Going’
Anyhoo – just thought I’d share – it’s your call mate………………

For a ‘not to bad for the price’ speaker have a look at Skytec SPJ-1500A. On ebay here in Australia, new, they are $AU250(160 euro, $224 US, 150 eng pound). These are not top of the line by any me
