DJ Mixing Taster Course

Experience Code: TRS622

Description

Ever wanted to be a DJ but didn't know what was going on in the booth? This DJ mixing taster course will teach you the tricks of the trade with a one-on-one lesson in our inner city underground record store. Learn beat mixing, blending and track selection from DJs with years of experience!

Whether you just want to know how it's done, feel the urge to dabble or are seriously considering DJ'ing as a career path, there are a few fundamental things about mixing which remain relevant across all musical genres and formats.

During this DJ mixing taster course you will learn these things exclusively on vinyl records. Mixing was invented on vinyl and you can only truly understand the basics behind DJ'ing by using it, without any digital readouts to distract or help you! Knowledge and skills gained while mixing vinyl can then be easily transferred to digital media.

You will spend your two-hour one-on-one DJ lesson in a real, live record store, surrounded by the latest releases.

This is your chance to put your hands on real records and mix them, all the while gaining insights into where and how mixing came about. You will learn what BPM is and why certain plugs must go certain ways. You will learn about what the industry calls train-wrecks, crowd pleasers and much, much more!

Your teacher is a working Sydney DJ with years of experience. He will explain not only the mechanics of mixing, but also the ins and outs of gigs, music buying and the DJ lifestyle.

So come and learn DJ mixing with people who are passionate about music, mixing and vinyl and share their knowledge and experience of this exciting world.
