nice set up , well in gear im not expert im a cdj 900 + djm 800 + rekorbox .. user
are u taking the Digital Controller road or CDJ Road or both ??
creating a mashup is not cheating , its just a way of making a sort of remix .. i suppose its recorded .. i encourage you to try it
you got the same target audience as me , if they dont like house electro , try the electro house music remixes of the dance chart music, that way they can smell how house electro format is cool then slip some pure electro 😉 create some balance for your audience , a dj go deeper in music because it’s his life , but regular ppl NOT , so take this in mind
for creating live mixing and mashups just PRACTICE PRACTICE AND PRACTICE , plus the sync button on VDJ will help alot from preventing the frustration from trying to mashup and mix and beatmatch .
the real deal is with song selecting , titles remembering …
while mixing i find the best way is to find the next song or 2 if mashup 1st then how I’ll mix it , not the other way around
i learn and still learning by practicing and experimenting at home everyday like crazy , i used to have 3 girlfriends but now i don’t have not even a social life anymore , (beware from that , create balance .. but go crazy some time 😀 )
*****the 4EVER GOLDEN RULE***** :
RECORD WHATEVER YOU DO
while mixing u hear different , you are verry much logical about bars and phrases key …etc u loose the inspirational side as a beginner, but when u listen to the recording , u find some bullshit that u didnt caught 1st , and some Really awesome transitions and live mixing as u say 😉 that are Super awesome but didn’t realize it awesomeness 😀 so i can improve it
