Minimum Solar Mix
When your just starting out all you need is 2 channels, Cue control, Volume Fader+Cross Fader and 3 Band EQ's learn the fundamentals first and don't get caught up in affects and shit until you get the important stuff down
OxyKon's point about having fun for me is the main thing RichoKidd is spot on saying you need to understand how different music works together and Labrat true true transitions is the meat of the mix. I'm not really in it to play out it's more for my own enjoyment these days so for me I would say
Heart - being in the right place not having altiria motives for being a DJ (not a huge fan of show pony's) and having fun
Rhythm - If you aint got none you have no place attempting this
Head - keeping a cool one knowing how certain music fits into this jigsaw we are creating
Instinct - which some times contradicts the previous point as you do need to go into cruise control some times I find some of my best miss are when I've never heard the tracks before
Control - from hand eye reflexes from a hard snap on the fader to the mitts touch on the plater
Boys Really… I mean really ?
I'm noticing a disturbing pattern whenthe word "Crowd" being mentioned so much.
Now I'm going to have to sound like I'm falling into the later part of -
"5. Personality
dont be a dick lol"
But there has to be more to it then pandering to the masses
