I'm new to dj'ing. But I'm not looking to be a spinnin' 'n' scratchin' dj...just a simple mobile dj doing gigs at wedding receptions, some small bars. I have a pretty wide range of songs from the 60's to the present. A lot of rock, country, some rap/hip-hop, oldies, etc. Over 10,000 tracks so far and growing.
I've got a dj program on my laptop I've been working with and learning how to mix and sample and such. But now I'm stuck.
Put all this together, and you're not going to hear it across a gymnasium, ballroom, or a backyard full of people working on their next buzz. And naturally, the volume needs to somewhat keep up with the blood alcohol level of the guests (to a point...noise citations cost extra).
What I'm looking for is what I need to get the tunes from the computer to the audience. Mixer, amps, or a mixer/amp combo, small monitor speakers and decent pa speakers. I'm not doing turntables or anything.
SO, what do y'all suggest?
