Djing is fun

Djing can be a great way to escape from it all during this pandemic.
With everyone sheltering in place and it seems as though there is nothing to do. There is something to do. You can DJ.

I made this short video for newbies who never have even mixed before with Ableton. You may have thought it was for something else. Maybe you thought it was just for mashups or doing remixes or producing or whatever. I am here to tell you it is just as perfect for doing your DJ sets. Or Djing parties when the quarantine is lifted.

Newbies need help too

The video is for newbies only. If you have been a DJ for some time you will not learn anything in this video as you already know it.So if you are a newbie and need a quick tutorial have a look at this video. Also, id love to hear your mixes so follow me on Mixcloud.
