the acapella is too quiet and it sounds a little jumpy. not in key. it could have potential though, finish it first!

indeed, check out remixes, mashups, transition tracks, extended mixes of songs. i know that feeling because i’d been practicing on some progressive/electro house tracks but my gigs right now are limited to top 40 and i’m still learning that! i’ve been learning a lot by going to clubs and listening to what the DJs do there. my tips: hotcues are your friends, extend the track with loops and bring in the other one, filter/backspin-smash to the next song, search for good cutting in the songs (eg DJ Fresh’s Gold Dust and Hot Right Now have a backspin effect in their intro)

i don’t know which browser you use, but try pressing ctrl+s and save the webpage somewhere. i also found this application: http://www.upload.ee/files/2765013/Tap_BPM.exe.html – just download it to your pc and you have it.

a birthday party, i got 15€, but the amazing feeling after a successful gig was better 🙂

overlapping 2 acapellas won’t work man.

here, study this:

http://www.upload.ee/image/2752690/vdj2.jpg – in virtualdj, right click on that [title / artist / …] bar and select those two i marked in red. and the green box – click there twice to view the numeric key. now only move 1 step up or down (or stay in the same key) when you select the next track (when the key diff down there shows 0 they mix together well).

other general tips: listen to more mixes, dj mixes don’t necessarily have to be 60 minutes – they can be 30 or 45 as well. viel glück!
