What's The Best Way To Learn How To DJ? I Want To Master It In 12 Months

[SirReginald]

Hey, I never DJ'ed before, but want to learn to do it as a hobby and make money from it. I'm a tech savy guy (went to college for computers).


So, any tips?

Master something cats been doing their whole lives in 12 months.

That already tells me that you don't even respect the craft at all. Therefore I'm not helping you

All you need is two belt driven turntables, a mixer, duplicate breakbeat records to practice on, some rhythm and a good ear.

Takes years of practicing just to master scratching, and you want to learn everything in 12 months, just because you want to make money.... Naw homie, you gotta put in your own work around here

 

[blizzard man]

you can master it in 12 months

get a dj setup

practice for 8-12 hours a day, 7 days a week, for 12 months

after that youll prolly be pretty good

Y'all nikkaz are lame as fukk. Y'all know damn well dude don't mean to come off how y'all takin it.

Got damn, support tha brotha trying to get money by doing something constructive.

I started by watching EllaSkins on YouTube. He really goes thru everything and is good at giving beginners confidence.

Btw you won't master tha craft in a year but it's possible to start getting gigs and making money in that amount of time if you got your shyt together.

@IbucciMane!

You should find a country in Europe and become the "rap" DJ out there. I guarantee there are spots where if you had the allure that "this is what is hot in America or on the American underground" you could eat just by playing songs off of soundcloud from your computer

op just cop dj hero, that'll teach you EVERYTHING

If you want to learn ANYTHING quickly, get up under someone who has already mastered it.

Invest in the trainer not just the boxing bags and gloves

It takes approx 10,000 hours to master anything. If you're looking for quick and fast music like most hobbies ain't gonna cut it.

If you really bout it, you need to cop (the aforementioned) equipment and hit the decks for like 2 to 3 hours a day.

That said, you won't master it in a year unless you're some type of prodigy, but you'll definitely improve.

It's so fun.

I sold all my DJ equipment a decade ago and focused only on production since; however, just recently, I am thinking of re'copping the DJ equipment and getting back into it.
