If you want to just dabble in it. But if it really tickles your fancy and you decide to do some serious mixing, you should get some decks.

I was just wandering if I could be able to DJ a bit.:)

Got any friends doing it?
It's about music! Not one music style is better than the other, not one music style is more truly than the other. The whole thing is based on respect. It's all music, music never separates people!

Yeah you! :)

If you had, I guess you could get to try it there.. But you have a computer right? If so, try to search around for some software. Maybe you can get a trial version for starters, just to get a feel.

I use decks myself, so don't know so much about the different sofwares out there.

Was it really necessary to open a topic which was started back in 2008? Don't you think he already found what he needed?  :/

A DJ needs... feeling for music, love for the genre, a liking for Red Bull (to keep you going) and a whole lotta drive to even make it to the lowest rank of famous DJ's  ;)
