going to open decks with no experience on professional equipment
Hey! A year ago I decided I wanted to try out DJing and see if I enjoy it. I bought a cheap controller (Hercules DJControl Starlight) and since played countless college pregames and parties. The controller is really bad and I feel limited by it, but it does the job.
Im in the NYC area and a there's a place that throws open decks every week. I really want to try my hand, at the same time I am worried because the equipment I used so far does not even come close to what they have (Pioneer DJ XDJ-1000MK2 decks). One part of me thinks because I understand the fundamentals of djing and can read the labels labels on the buttons I can perform a decent set, the other part of me is worried I will be completely lost and fumble (+ imposter syndrome).
Not trying to make a name for me or anything, just want to try it out. Should I go for it or should I wait until I have more experience on bigger decks to try it out? (I am hella broke rn LOL but I am saving up for an flx4 or something better)
Any advice? tips?
