DYI DJing for beginners
This workshop will focus on DJing off of your laptop. There are a lot of myths and memes about the laptop DJ, but for some (read: many) who don’t have easy access to CDJS or turntables, its the only way to get started or to practice with any regularity.
Plus it also has its advantages :)
The workshop is really for beginners and will involve learning about a couple of different types of software (Virtual DJ, Traktor, Mixx), becoming more familiar with the interfaces, mixing, looping, using effects, building a set, recording your mixes, setting yourself up if you want to play live, and a few other things you can do on the software.
For this first workshop we will NOT be using controllers.
Please come with a laptop with Virtual DJ installed and a pair of headphones. We will also do our best to have the software available for sharing via usb or hard drive if need be! If you don’t have headphones/ a laptop let us know and we will try and sort some out for you!
Registration via this form, there are a few questions to fill out, please answer them all!
