Giving VDJ (is it Version 5) away Free now is an Excellent Move for New and Existing DJ’s Moving from Hardware to Software 😎

Cool :cool:;
Anytime you need a little Encouragement or Assistance let me know 🙂

Yes; I can Understand those Feelings Completely;
And I think it is Important to Continue the way you are going until you Feel ‘Ready’; or your Confidence has Built up enough; which can happen in a couple of ways;
The First would be Confidence in Yourself and your Ability; as this would put you in a position where you ‘Know You Are Good’; and the Main thing is the Feelings about Yourself; … when you do a Great Mix/Transition between 2 Tracks Congratulate Yourself and Tell Yourself you are getting ‘Better And Better’ :);
The Second (could be) to DJ with Small Groups of people; such as your Friends; at a Party; or Barbeque; but try to make it so You Know Everybody there; and that will put you More At Ease :);
I see you have a YouTube Channel; you could try putting some 10 minute mixes up on there; and you could also join Soundcloud as they allow you 2 Hours of Space; by doing this you can DJ at Home; and not feel Rushed into becoming a Public DJ 🙂

A Very Warm Welcome to You 🙂

I think that the ‘Distance’ between a ‘Good DJ’ and a ‘Great DJ’ is Very Large;
As if Depicted in a Series of Loops in a Chain;

I think a ‘Great DJ’ is a person who can be handed 10 Tracks (of Varying Genres and BPM); and Mix them Seamlessly;
However; some may see Armin Van Buuren as the ‘Top Link’ in the Chain; where for me he does Nothing;
If he were to Mix a Jazz Funk Set on the other hand I may look at him Differently;
There is No Doubt that there have been ‘Greats’ such as Jeff Mills; but I Feel that a Range Of Genres have to be Mastered before anyone can be Considered as ‘Great’;
But that is just my ‘Personal Opinion’; and of course this Opens Up another Avenue to this Thread;
‘People’ have ‘Opinions’ on ‘Who Is Great’; but does that ‘Make That DJ Great’;
Tiesto and Van Buuren could Probably (and Probably Do) Fill the Biggest Stadiums in the World; and they have a ‘Massive Fan Base’; but ‘Why’; the Answer is their ‘Brand’ (as with David Beckham); but that doesn’t make them ‘Great’ or even ‘Good DJ’s’; (I Love McDonalds because I have seen that Big Yellow Sign since I was a Young Child); but for Nutrition the Food is Very Likely to be Awful;
The General Public become ‘Conditioned’ into Believing/Brainwashed that ‘This is Good’; and ‘This is Great’;

I Understand that I have put myself ‘Out There’ to be Attacked with this Post;
But; my Honest Feelings about the Matter; are these;
If You Think You Are Great; You Are Great 😎
