My child wants to be a DJ, what do I need?

Before you invest in a more expensive children's DJ set, you should find out whether your child really likes it. That's why you should compose a set based on a DJ controller. A DJ controller is the most affordable solution and the most suitable for children. Especially if you're looking for a DJ controller with a clear design and not too many functions. You can use this all-in-one solution in combination with DJ software and a laptop or computer.

To spin records with a DJ controller, you need a computer or laptop with DJ software. Some DJ controllers work with a tablet too. Your child can play their own MP3 songs with the DJ software. The included software is often a demo version. If you like this version, you can purchase the full package. This contains all the functions, like recording a DJ set. As a result, you can listen to the first mix of your child at any time.

The challenge of DJing is to blend 2 songs together neatly. You want to be able to hear this transition before you play it over the speakers. That's why DJ headphones always have rotatable ear cups. Your child can listen to the next song with 1 ear already. With the other ear, your child can listen to the sound playing over the DJ speakers. As a result, your child can test whether 2 songs fit well together.

Your child can't wait to start DJing. Make sure you have the right accessories to connect the set, to prevent disappointment. A DJ controller includes a USB cable in most cases. Isn't this the case? Order one separately. With audio cables, you can connect the DJ controller to the DJ speakers. You can often connect simple DJ controllers with a tulip (RCA) cable.
