How do I use a DJ Mixer?
How much you are planning to spend?
Now a day’s DJ mixers start from $79 and go up to thousands of dollars. Just keep in mind that these lower priced mixers may be of lower quality, so I suggest to purchase a higher priced dj mixer if you want a higher quality mixer
What platforms are you using?
What are you using turntables, CD players, a laptop, an iPod or all of these?? By answering this question we can say how many channels you need on your mixer. A two-channel mixer generally has a 2 phono and 2 line inputs. The phono inputs are for turntables with phono signals and the line updates are used in digital platforms such as CDJ players. In this case the user can connect two turn tables, 2 CD players, or a laptop or iPod
What type of music are you playing and how will you be playing it?
You will have one which is more geared towards mixing and the other one is geared towards scratching. Usually Hip hops DJs prefer 2 channel mixers with scratching capabilities. Other hand electronic DJs are usually focused on mixing and other possible effects.
