And remember, we were all beginners once.

If you are a club DJ, I get it. You need to beat mix an keep the floor full with slow breaks to let them get refills. But for the rest? When I was in the game I did mostly weddings and parties. Beat mixing was rarely a requirement so I never really got into it.

The first thing I tried to do is find out what the customer wants. After all, it is their event, not mine. Part of that is getting as many details as you can including the venue. If there was anything in what they wanted that I did not feel comfortable with or could not do I would let them...

Listen to Scott Hana about the right to play being venue specific. Technically speaking, if you or the venue is not paying the royalties on the piece then you are not allowed to play it in a public venue. Now, what is a public venue? That question allows the DJ to squeeze through the loop...

With all the wireless mic channels being gobbled up, what's your solution? Honestly, I loved the freedom to be able to walk around a venue and basically speak from anywhere, but, have DJs become to dependent on that? Sure, I was speaking from "anywhere" in the venue but my speakers were where...

As Homer would say, "Doh!" :banana:

I know you will do well.
