The Digital DJ Tips Podcast

Kids & DJing, DJing with disabilities, USB controllers

Episode Summary

Join Phil Morse of the Digital DJ Tips DJ school, as he answers another batch of student questions about their DJing.

Episode Notes

In this month's show we tackled a wide range of questions. We spoke about producing music when half deaf, worries about DJing when visually impaired, keeping children interested in DJing, why the hell your software needs to have a database (and whether that database looks after itself), and lots of other questions across our big areas of DJing, gear, music, mixing, performing, and success.

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.
