DJ Science

[Zzzptm]

I'm looking at upgrading how I do my radio show and started messing about with Virtual DJ.

 

I was wondering if I would find it easy or difficult to work with. There's lots of information and things I could do, but also a clear starting point and easy things I can try out as a beginner that get my feet wet and hands dirty so I'm ready for the next tip and trick. Although I don't have to do any mixes or remixes for my shows, I still messed around to make some for personal use, using the software to match BPM on several electronica tracks and strip one of vocals so I could do an overlay of one song on top of it. Cher's "Believe", "Gonna Make You Sweat", and the Matrix Lobby Gun Fight Scene music all set at 132 BPM made for some interesting remixes/mashups that I had a great time making up.

I'm an old dog, but this is definitely a new trick for me. I've got some years before I retire, but maybe I start a new career as a party DJ when I hit 65...
