Girls Gone Vinyl: The Untold Story of Female DJs. Revealed: The Lies Bedroom DJs Tell That Stop Them Succeeding. Get out of your lazy bed and get yourself a gig – it’s the only way you’ll truly start to improve as a DJ.
Pic: Plain Lazy We keep going on about how important it is to get gigs (or shows, or live DJ sets – whatever you want to call them) in order to improve as a DJ – and for good reason: More than half of our readers (according to our latest reader survey) are still only DJing in their bedrooms. Each day we receive scores of email, PMs, tweets and Facebook message from bedroom DJs who know they want to play “real” DJ sets in public, but are stuck doing it behind closed doors, all asking the same questions about how to break out of practising and start performing. So today we list the top seven real-life lies bedroom DJs tell themselves and that mean they continue to fail to get shows – and what you can do about them if you’re guilty of any of them yourself!
NI softsynth tutorials. NativeInstruments's Channel Korg Electribe. Hercules RMX dj console. How-To Guide Harmonic-Mixing.com. The Basics Harmonic mixing consists of two elements: knowing the key of every song that you play and knowing which keys are compatible.
To get started, find the keys of your songs. You can detect keys with a piano, a good ear, and a background in music theory. To save time, you can use professional DJ software such as Mixed In Key. Mixed In Key scans your MP3 and WAV files, and shows you the key of every song. The First Mix To help DJs learn harmonic mixing, Mark Davis created the Camelot wheel, a visual representation of which keys are compatible with each other: On the Camelot wheel, each key is assigned a keycode number from one to twelve, like hours around a clock. For the first mix, we recommend mixing two songs that have the same keycode, like 8A and 8A. The Professional DJ Approach Many professional DJs move around the Camelot wheel with every mix. To select a compatible song, choose a keycode within one "hour" of your current keycode.

Candy Bar girl L'il Jo / DIVA Magazine Lesbian Lifestyle. When I was fairly young I realised that I wanted to avoid a mid life crisis and so made the decision to have my wild and crazy years first, then go and be sensible when I'd had enough.
I've certainly done the crazy bit - moving to California, living on desert islands, partying with rappers and models, DJ'ing for celebs and at fashion shows - but now I'd like a bit more stability in my life. One of the main problems that I face as a DJ is boredom during the day. All my friends work and unless I make solo trips to galleries and museums (which I do and now have a pretty good catalogue of potential date days stored up) my brain will rot. I've always loved kids, I get on well with them and relish the idea of having the opportunity to inspire and change lives. Time to take my two career choices into the ring and fight it out...
