We also cover how to improve the sound quality of DJ gear when DJing in clubs, and whether producers should mix in mono or stereo.Plus, one of the school's students convinces host Phil to reveal some of his favourite features on the new AlphaTheta XDJ-AZ. This question comes at the perfect time, as we're about to release our much-anticipated feature-length video training tutorial for this popular standalone unit. 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.
