Is tech making DJing HARDER?

In this edition of our Inside Track podcast, we answer three questions that have been coming up among our students this month. First up: "Is technology actually making DJing harder, not easier?" Recently, some high-profile DJ software failures have left DJs unable to play gigs, but is that the whole picture? We look at how far DJing has really come, what is and isn't more technically complex today, and why the things that matter most for DJs haven't changed at all. Next, we answer, "How do you create viral DJ moments in your sets without selling your soul?" We'll break down what those flashy transitions you see on TikTok and Instagram actually require, why you shouldn't feel intimidated by them, and how to prepare just two or three of them to drop into your sets for maximum effect.  And finally, we cover a question that comes up consistently: "Is it okay to copy other DJs?" The short answer is yes, and we explain exactly why here... 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 real-time 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.
