Wow, thank you for that Daniel!
I will really take on board what you’ve said – I agree that actually sitting down with some hardware is the best way to advance so I’m looking into that currently. I understand that taking yourself to a professional standard takes a long time and a lot of practice, but I think I have the patience and a musical knowledge good enough to make quick progress. As for ‘relatively inexperienced’, I mean that I’ve been learning the basics by playing around with mixing on a laptop for a while (not the same I know) and researching DJ techniques without finding the time to invest in it properly (although this shouldn’t be a problem when I finish school). I also think a book would really help point me in the right direction by teaching one step at a time so thanks for your suggestions – your post helped immensely.
I am going to university next year, Arnaldi, and given that I’ve been wanting to get into music mixing/production for a while now I thought the holiday I have coming up would be the best time to tackle it.
Apologies if there was already a thread on this subject – I haven’t found it, but I also thought it was worth asking myself. If anyone could post a link to it I would be grateful.
