Skank Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 does anyone from the forum give lessons on dj'ing at a more intermediate leve and reside around sydneyl. i know dj warehouse does a a course but thats like $750 im looking to brush up my skillz Quote
tramonte Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 I think your better off just to continue practicing and attempting new things, see if something works or doesn't work...Most of the courses are just to get you started imo Quote
pride Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 I dont know if I would bother with lessons.I honestly think your better off finding someone who does mix well and mix with them.I used to go record shopping with mates and my bro and then all head back to my place and go nuts on the decks.people have different techniques etc but you can always 'Steel With Pride' How long you been mixing? What stage are you at? Can you beatmix etc? Quote
tubby Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 best courses cost about $40. that's for a case of beera few mates together, mix up randomly, try shit out and learn from eachother. Quote
pride Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 best courses cost about $40. that's for a case of beera few mates together, mix up randomly, try shit out and learn from eachother.Do that 3 - 5 times a week over 6 months and watch your skills grow. Quote
tubby Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 do that 3-5 times a week and watch your beer gut grow. wait, that's how I became tubby. Quote
pride Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 do that 3-5 times a week and watch your beer gut grow. wait, that's how I became tubby.ok so lets be sensible and say beer 2 nights and tequilla 1 night a week Quote

pride Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 There are video's that you can buy online and from central station etc that walk you through the different scratching techniques like the chirp and the fade etcDemonstrates how to hold your hands and what to do with the fader etc.Which brings me full circleget some beers and the video / dvd and your mates around and go nuts.

Skank Posted January 21, 2009 Author Posted January 21, 2009 have to give it a go ive tried scratchin from online tutorials but its not the same i think im gunna try find a crew to hook up wid and mix wid, none of my mates mix thats what makes it hard Quote
DJBANG Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 my technique listening to a lot of music, i mean in a normal day i listen to around hundred songs when I'm djing double or triple that, listen to different variety, and practice practice Quote
Skank Posted January 21, 2009 Author Posted January 21, 2009 when my downloads reset ill link up a few mixes see what the feed back is like i think we need a mix comp **cough cough caleupe* Quote
tubby Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 qbert did some good dvd's, he shows a sratch, then pauses for you to try it, then he does it again and so on.not sure what it cost but seemed an ok place to start Quote
tramonte Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 I've got that dvd,It's pretty good, but personally I've stopped scratching for a bit to try to improve my mixing, and attempt scratching at a later time. Quote
Skank Posted January 21, 2009 Author Posted January 21, 2009 i recon scratchin in an electro set sounds sick can set you apart aswell Quote
pride Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 As long as its not too over the topie: Over every track Quote
