Introduction to DJing with Alison Wonderland
In a recent tutorial, renowned DJ Alison Wonderland breaks down the essentials of DJing for beginners. Her aim is not to provide an exhaustive manual but rather to share her personal techniques, introducing aspiring DJs to the world of mixing music.
Equipment Overview: CDJs and Mixers
Alison begins by presenting the fundamental equipment involved in DJing – two CDJs and a mixer. She notes that while vinyl is another option, she primarily uses CDJs, which serve as a digital counterpart to vinyl decks. Key components of the setup include the Pioneer CDJ-2000 Nexus 2 and the Pioneer DJM-900 mixer—both industry standards commonly found in clubs and festivals.
