Join Phil Morse and the students of the Digital DJ Tips school, as they look at three burning topics in the world of DJing.
Three big DJ topics, recorded in front of our live student audience straight off the back of a few days talking shop with industry people in Munich.
First, how a £300 plastic box became the default DJ controller for pretty much everyone who isn't a working pro. We go back through the gear that conquered the world before it - Technics 1210s, the CDJ-1000, the Vestax VCI-100, the Numark Mixtrack Pro, the DDJ-1000 - and give five reasons the DDJ-FLX4 now sits where they used to.
Then, why bigger isn't always better. The Hercules T10 launches today with 10" platters, and it's got us talking about the DJ obsession with jog wheel size, full-size gear, and what actually matters when you have to carry, store and live with the thing.
And finally, three things AI can never replace in DJing - the unteachables - with plenty of input from the students watching live.
