I enjoyed the series as well and did learn alot as far as actual dj’ing goes. like what mixes to use, when to mix, and how to apply each mix. those were the most informative for me personally.
Now for some constructive critcism 😉 again this is just my personal view on things and what I think could and will help Phil out in the future.
I guess it wasn’t “exactly” what I was looking for when I spent $47 on the course.
I’m a complete noob, straight up. but alot of the information given in the first few sets of videos was information that was readily and easily available on the ddjt blogs. hardware, software, headphones, speakers, beat matching, etc…
Thats not to say that I didn’t learn from it or it wasn’t worth it, because its still great information. But probably more so useful for someone who very recently entered the world of dj’ing without doing any research on their own. and in my humblest, honest opinion. if a noob has made it this far into the site, chances are they’ve figured out most of that stuff by now lol.
But I understand you have to cover your bases and make sure you start from the Tippy top to please everybody including those absolute beginners. so not a big problem at all, except that I expected the mixing content of it to go into more depth and detail than it had gone.
I was thinking more along the lines of say volume control when mixing, looking at driving rhythms, examples of mixes that dont work, common problems you’ll run into while mixing, how to go about fixing or hiding them, more on samples/ loops, mapping, or maybe stuff that I have no clue about yet.
However, I do hear that the intermediate videos are coming out eventually so maybe thats more so what I’m looking for and i should just shut my pie hole lol.
I just hope that its not going to have to cost me another payment (or even worse, more money than the first). I believe returning customers should be offered some sort of compensation.
Hope I didn’t come off to harsh, I’m just being honest. and what’s a dj who can’t handle a bit of criticism right? =)
As always, love the site, forums, and constantly updated djing information.
