Chip Ervin started his career as a DJ when he was only a child, performing at a local super skate. Since then he has gone on to perform at many venues, including weddings, private parties, proms, underground raves, and more. DJing is a craft that takes time to develop. Doing well means refining your abilities. Here are a few tips to help beginner DJ’s get better:
- Beatmix Tailoring: For beatmixing, it is important that both of the tracks you select are compatible for the mix. The best tracks for beatmixing are ones with steady beats, and a long enough steady section for you to perform the mix. It is also important to make sure that both of these tracks are running at the same speed. The synchronized tracks make for a better finished product.
- Keep Kick Drums Aligned: A kick drum is a steady bass that dominates a vast majority of music. In order to prevent a mix from being off-beat, make sure to keep the kick drums aligned to prevent a sloppy sound. You can achieve this by nudging one kick drum forward and another back. Just remember to keep the tracks at the same speed.
- Have Fun: The best DJ’s got that way because they are passionate about the craft. Remember to never be afraid to experiment, put your own spin on music, and have fun with what you do.
