Join Phil Morse of the Digital DJ Tips DJ school, as he answers another batch of student questions about their DJing.
This one was recorded on 4 July, but despite the date, we still had a busy show answering questions from students about a wide range of topics.
We covered the fallout from Pioneer DJ deciding not to support older controllers in the latest version of Rekordbox.
We talked about the right way to promote events and why, despite loads of advertising and hard work, most of the people at one student's event were just people they already knew.
We talked about whether it's ever okay to play parties with DJ monitor speakers, or whether you should always use speakers that are correct for the job.
And, we covered the idea of playing tune-up gigs to get you ready for playing important shows, and many more questions, including lots of valuable live feedback from our student community.
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.
