DJ Lighting, Using Headphones Only, Trance Mixing [Podcast]

Enjoy this latest edition of our podcast, where digital DJ students get to ask questions across all the big areas of DJing and get answers in our live community.

Episode Notes

This time around we started with a question about the best way to mix in just your headphones (out of the two most common methods), before moving on to talking about something that comes up again and again and doesn’t get any easier as our lives get busier – finding a way to fit DJing into your life!

With the cost and capabilities of modern DJ lighting both moving in the right direction nowadays, it’s no surprise many DJs are dabbling. We talked through your options as a DJ when it comes to adding lights to your set-up, especially if you really feel you want to concentrate on the music when DJing. And finally, we talked about how to keep techno/trance sets exciting, with the added twist of performing online with no visible audience.

As ever, this pod is supported 100% by the students of Digital DJ Tips, and it was recorded in a live webinar with lots of student feedback.

If you enjoy it and you can, please do give us a five-star rating on Apple Podcasts – it really does make a difference.
