Here are DJ equipment tips for beginners to build their own sets.

For the beginner it can be a bit much to take on the wild world of DJing when you don't have a clue and even if you do you may be skeptical of spending so much money for something you may only do as a hobby. I put together some tips to help ease your mind.

I can tell you from personal experience that you don't have anything to worry about. These tips will erase all second thoughts.

We will step aside from the "DJ in a box" stuff and get right into building a real set with personally selected equipment.

There first thing you need to ask your self is how or in what capacity will I be using my equipment? How much do I want to spend? Where will I buy all of this equipment, and most importantly what equipment do I need? I have tips to answer all of these questions and more.

Say you want to be an all-purpose DJ. Meaning you want to be able to be a club disc jockey and turntablist. You allowed your self a budget of $600. You found that Musician's Friend has the best selection and prices that meet your needs.

But let me make this perfectly clear. There is no substitute for high end high quality equipment. You'll only be kidding yourself if you think you can go pro on cheaper gear. If you want to pick it up as a hobby then this is a good place to start.

Now you want to select your gear but you want to make sure you get the right gear.

Tips for selecting your gear.

You need to make a list of the minimum gear you want to buy. Now keep in mind the budget. You are only going to buy equipment to fit your need so turntables like the Numark TTX1 turntable and the Technics SL1200 MK2 turntables are out of the picture. I'll save those for the experts.

Two turntables.

Stanton T.60 Direct-Drive Turntable with Stanton 500B Cartridge.

Remember you need DIRECT-DRIVE turntables. They offer the best torque for cueing records. The Stanton T.60 Direct Drive Turntable has enough power to get you started.

SPECIAL NOTE: The Stanton T.80 Direct Drive Turntable costs $249 and offers much more features including digital technology.

So for this tutorial you can go with the T.80 Either way they will fit this budget.

***These turntables have straight tone arms that are made primarily for scratching. If you want to scratch and mix you need to upgrade to something like the Stanton ST-100 or Numark TT 500 which have S-shape tone arms.***

I'll stick with the T.60 for the sake of remaining budget conscious.

Your total cost thus far is $399.98 for the Stanton T.60 Direct Drive Turntable.

Two slip mats at $20 dollars each. Get the Stanton DSM-6 Yellow on Black Slipmats with Scratch Discs.

You can make your on slip mats out of felt for about $5. Go to your local fabric store and get about 2 yards of felt fabric.

Take a record, place of on the felt, out line it in fabric chalk or with a marker and cut along the line you just made. Presto! A perfectly usable custom made slip mat.

By the way, you know the plastic that your vinyl comes in? Cut a piece the same size as the slip mat. Place that on the turntable platter first then place your custom made slip mat on top of that. I found that reduces the friction even more.

Two cartridges.

In this case you don't need to buy and cartridges because they come already mounted on the head shell with the Stanton T.60 Direct Drive Turntable. So you probably saved another $160 on a pair of cartridges.

Follow the manufacturers guidelines to installing your cartridge. There are different tone arm settings for turntablist and club disc jockey's.

One mixer.

The Numark DM1002X MK2 Scratch Mixer.

This mixer costs $99.99.

Break in your mixer slowly. Learn all of its features to maximize you skills as you build them. Later on you should try experimenting cutting the music in and out with different mixer settings. Try to develop your own unique style.

So far the grand total for building your set is 539.97. If you make our own slip mats you save $40. So that brings your total thus far to $499.97.

One pair of headphones.

Since you have over $200 to spend lets look at one of better mid price range headphones.

The Technics RP-F550 Headphones are the low end Technics model but they are mid price range for many other manufacturers. They cost $49.99.

Your headphones should be light weight to reduce ear fatigue and closed ear design to avoid outside interference with your mix.

Assuming you have a way to amplify your set such as a stereo system that should be it.

You grand total for your beginner set is 549.96 without slip mats. With slip mats your total is $589.96. Did I mention free shipping? If you use your ASCAP membership card you can save an additional 5%. And if you buy from the b-stock you can save up to 57%.

This is right on target with your budget of $600. Not bad for building your first set with different gear.

Congratulations!

The test is delivered using a touch screen computer for the multiple choice part and clicking on a mouse for the hazard perception part of the test.

You have to show your theory test pass certificate, photo id and your license to book the practical test.

Practical test is different for different type of vehicles like cars, motorcycles, large goods vehicles and passenger carrying vehicles. During practical test, learner must show the examiner how they can drive, face manoeuvres and their knowledge of highway-code. The candidate will be given every opportunity to show his driving skills.

Theory Test Booking Procedures:

You will need to book the theory and practical tests separately through the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) on:

Telephone: 0870 010 1372

2001 dodge grand caravan,when it's any forward gear,you can give it the gas and the motor will stop?

The thing thats so weird is,I can put it in park and floor the thing ,or it can be in reverse or in neutral and floor it and it will like a new one,when in drive,while it's cold,it runs good also!
after it warms up,you can put it in any forward gear and if you set there it will run all day in gear,if you talk off slowly and not get above 1500 rpm,ti will change throught all three gears and
finely into overdrive.on the other hand,if you give it a little extra
the motor will cut off!if you put it in any forward gear and hold the brakes it stops,,,put it in reverse and hold the brakes,it runs like a bat out of woods.one other thing when it cuts off all gauges quit instantly,like going down the road at 40mph and
floor it the motor dies and the gauges stop even while the rpm are still slowing down
no roughness, no noise, everythings
smooth,it's like you switched off the key
and only in the forward gears

maybe an egr valve?

Safe from the sun: Trip to Turkey Flats is perfect way to beat Grand Valley 100-degree heat
In July, 1977, Grand Junction set a record for number of consecutive days over 100 degrees, with 11 or 12 in a row. I’m a little bleary on that since my brain was being fried by 11 or 12 consecutive 100-degree days. Our swamp cooler didn’t work.
