Join Phil Morse of the Digital DJ Tips DJ school as he answers another batch of student questions about their DJing.
In this edition of our Your Questions podcast, we tackle how to start a DJ podcast, figure out whether to stream music or buy it, and get to the bottom of how DJs really get booked.
We also cover the controller vs. standalone debate, how relaxation is the secret to better scratching, and the best set-up for DJs who also run quizzes and karaoke nights. It's the usual mixed bag of absorbing questions from our wonderful community. I hope you enjoy what we've got for you this month!
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 real-time 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.
