    Essential sites for when you're starting out

    The following list contains just about all the sites that you should be reading when you start:

    * DJForums.com - This site has LOTS of info on how to start, but is mostly text based.

    * DJTutor.com - Great site of videos with everything that you need to learn DJ concepts

    * DJTechTools.com - Great site that concentrates on controllers (and Traktor)

    * Equipment sites - [Not a total listing here] Use these to learn about how each piece of equipment works and how software updates are handled. Examples include:

    o Serato.com - Focuses on Scratch Live and ITCH

    o Native-instruments.com - Focuses on Traktor

    o Torq-DJ.com - Focuses on Torq


    KNOW YOUR EQUIPMENT! Make sure that you've registered!
