*Number 1*

There are so many DJ’s out there who think that high level DJ’ing is all about touching knobs, scratching, using effects and doing cool DJ tricks.

Because the objective of every DJ is to make the crowd happy with their song selection. Choosing the right song and playing it at the right time, is the main highlight of a DJ set.

So techniques like scratching, using effects and doing cool DJ tricks, should rather be thought of as tools you can use to help compliment your DJ set.

So use those techniques sparingly and remember that less is always more when it comes to catering to a crowd who just wants to dance, and enjoy their music.

*Number 2*

So just because you know how to beat match songs, doesn’t mean you should always be mixing at any section you want in a song.

Knowing where and when to mix is a skill every DJ should master. Because once you understand proper song structure, your transitions will just flow.

And one way to master song structure is thru using DJ edited tracks which have 32 beat intros and outros.

Now because most songs have set number of beats per chorus, verse, bridge and outro section. All you gotta do to mix perfectly, is trigger your next song’s intro at the start of any of those sections.

*Number 3*

A common mistake I see new DJ’s make when they DJ live for the first time, is that they’re too hyper focused on their DJ’ing and getting each transition perfectly right. By strictly focusing on their performance rather than the crowd, they’re pretty much DJ’ing for just themselves.

And the crowd whom you should be trying to make happy and dance, suffers!

And I totally get it. New DJ’s don’t wanna train wreck their first gig. So they follow a strict safe playlist, but the thing is, DJ’ing is a live performance and crowd reading and rocking, is the reason why DJ’s get hired in the first place.

*Number 4*

As a DJ it’s your responsibility to give the audience the best sounding audio you can. And one pretty common way DJ’s ruin their audio is when they red line. Which means when you bring your volume meters to the red.

When you mixer connects to a professional sound system, that sound system is calibrated to the audio levels the mixer is supposed to give off. So when you redline, you may not hear the distortion or clipping, but whatever sound your outputting will only be amplified by the sound system. Making your red lining output sound a lot more evident thru clipping and distortion.

*Number 5*

You may not think this, but you can actually hear the difference between songs ripped from Youtube and soundcloud, compared to songs downloaded from DJ record pools, iTunes, etc.

You see when you rip songs from the internet, what you’re getting is baked audio intended to be played on your phone, laptop or TV.

So when you do DJ and play your Youtube and Soundcloud rips, they may sound fine in your home studio, but when you get hooked up to a professional club system, that have speakers and subwoofers the size of a car, that’s the time, you’ll really hear the quality of your audio rips.
