    Yes, it is possible to DJ using only one turntable, though it definitely limits your options in terms of mixing and scratching. You can still beatmatch manually by listening to the speed of the track in your headphones and adjusting the pitch control accordingly. You can also perform simple scratching techniques like chirps and stabbing, but you won’t be able to do any double-side scratches or back-to-back juggles. In terms of equipment, you’ll need a turntable, a mixer, and a pair of headphones. You can also use a DJ controller instead of a mixer if it has a built-in sound card. Additionally, you might want to consider using digital DJing software like Serato or Traktor, which would allow you to beatmatch and mix tracks on the fly.
