An idea for help for those of us that are hopeless :P

Hey all, I was believeing that some sort of DJ "University" (for lack of a better term) could be done around here...not any sort of advanced teaching, just the basics but maybe focused more toward traktor (as that seems to be what most around here use) but rather than have the focus be all mixing "tricks" maybe more of a heavier focus on proper deck a/b mixing (like how to eq properly, placing mixes, dropping tracks in quickly) this also would be very self serving for me as I live in the middle of nowhere (western OK - trust me, it is devoid of dance music) so I don't have any DJ buddies to guide my progression...just an idea, maybe get some of the heads that are "skilled" like Tekki, Jester, PhotoJojo and anyone else that could maybe help develop curriculum...just an idea

there are a lot of good tutorials and live mixes that are great to watch and take notes from. The rest is hours of practice and perfection plus finding your own style and gear that suit or enhance your ability to perform. A dedicated section would be nice but its mostly practice, practice, practice

edit Also .. "Pantsless"

09.09.2011		Exactly, not much to it really besides practicing and listening. No 'university' or tutorial will help speed that up.

Stop trying to "fast" track everything and just take the time and effort to learn it.
