Getting Kids Into DJing, DJing With Disabilities, Small USB Controllers [Podcast]

Enjoy this latest edition of our podcast, where digital DJ students get to ask questions across all the big areas of DJing and get answers in our live community.

Episode Notes

A broad selection of questions today, including producing music when half deaf, worries about DJing when visually impaired, keeping children interested in DJing, why the hell your software needs to have a database (and whether that database looks after itself), and lots of other questions across our big areas of DJing – gear, music, mixing, performing, and success.

As ever, this pod is supported 100% by the students of Digital DJ Tips, and it was recorded in a live webinar with lots of student feedback.

If you enjoy it and you can, please do give us a five-star rating on Apple Podcasts – it really does make a difference.
