I need a raise.

We had about two minutes of PVD before we ran away!

PANTS PARTY!

You could probably remap the X1 to be a mixer as well… or there might een be a TSI floating around.

The built in speakers use the on-board soundcard in your laptop. You’ll need to use external sound systems with the Mixtrack.

But; to answer your Question More Respectfully; Unfortunately ‘Nobody’ will Tell You Everything ‘They Know’ through Fear of you ‘Taking Their Job’ in the Future;
I also think it would be a Wonderful thing to have a Person Teach You ‘What They Know’ (or are Willing To Share); and I Believe there are probably people out there who ‘Believe’ They Have The Skills and Will Happily Charge you;
But the Truth is; when I bought my CDDJ Decks I didn’t even know ‘How To Operate’ them; but I knew from listening to DJ’s on the Radio that these ‘Hero’s’ of mine got from One CD to another CD ‘Some How’; and I had to do the Same (Some How); and it Literally was ‘Trial and Error’
At that time; if there was YouTube I didn’t know anything about it; so had no Reference Point Visually to Follow;
The Main thing I Learned from the Radio was the 1:2:3:4 of the Kick Drums had to Line Up (Somehow :));

But; I am Happy to Teach Anyone Anything (apart from ‘The Secrets’) about DJ’ing; but of course as I mentioned earlier; I can Only Teach ‘What I Know’; and another person would Teach You ‘What They Know’;

On my YouTube Channel I have built up Playlists containing Hundreds of Videos about DJ’ing; and I am Always Adding to these Playlists (they are Public Playlists); however; we can Never Know Enough; and I only Learned the Potential of an Auto Filter Two Weeks Ago; and I have been DJ’ing for 10 Years;

The Whole Point of this Rambling Reply that isn’t really going Anywhere;
Is that ‘The Most Important’ thing is for you to get from One Track to Another Track; and Once you have done that; you Practice with a Different Track; But; Always (in the Beginning) use Tracks with the Same BPM; and if Possible; within the Same Genre; and then; Once You have Built Some Confidence in Yourself and Your Abilities; you start Twiddling With Knobs to see not only ‘What They Do; but ‘If’ the Knobs can Improve Your Performance :);
One Major thing with DJ’ing that I have Learned is that ‘Our Personal Learning Curve Cannot Be ‘Rushed’ 😎
Whatever Software or Hardware you Choose to Use; I can Guarantee to you that DJ’ing is the Same :);

You shouldn’t be worried about divulging secrets. What separates you from the padawan is your talent and experience. They can’t steal that! 🙂

EDIT: These days, Oakey should be paying *me* £35k for DJing lessons!

The 32. 🙂
