    just use your real name monikers are so fake . I thought about that a couple months ago and a friend told me a Dj name is not going to help you what you do behind the decks is what counts and he is rite so I am who I am not trying to change it.

    I play country rock urban hip hop and heavy metal and that is what I love to do is rock the crowd but there are times that the crowd does not feel like being rocked. They wanna relax from a stressful day maybe they don’t feel good. But being a good DJ is realizing that it is not all about dancing. It is about the audience if they don’t want to dance they won’t. If they want to dance fast to slow songs they will and slow to fast songs they will. It is they’re night out you are just the entertainment.

    I dj for rock pop urban country contemporary gospel and stuff like that. Most of that stuff is key mixing from one song to another in the same key. slow fade Transitions get you a copy of the Camelot wheel and it will tell you what keys work good together like Dm and Am work real good together. Also you need to use songs together that fit like a soft song going out and hard rap does not fit together. And what ever software you get I would suggest mixing in key software also. virtual Dj if I remember correctly has the key to each song on the line with the name of the song. BPM do matter but not as much as key mixing I brought in songs that sounded good together 30 or 40 bpm difference they say do not go over 10 bpm difference but it depends on how the song starts out . If it start out balls to the walls yeah don’t go over 5 to 10 but if it starts mild and the sound wave is very flat looking then you can get away with it cause songs like that usely build to a climax.

    By the way the 80’s and 90’s is my favorite time in music and that is what my main focus is going to be on as I start my career in dj’ing . So all the help in that area would totally help .

    So Question then how much of a song do you useally play specially if the crowd is digging it like if I am playing journey don’t stop believing the song is 4min and 10sec long at 4 min the singing starts to fade but there is not much of a brake anywhere close to the end of the songso I am needing to figure out the best place for the trantion… I am new to dj’ing but not new to working in the sound industry I worked 5 yrs as a sound man in local churches helping in the setup and eq’ing of theyre music and doing acoustic installation in churches to absorb the sound and to bounce in other directions
