I'm sure the only way you can learn how to mix is just do it yourself and keep trying but I'm sure it's entirely possible to learn some useful tips on programming and "the business" by reading a few books about it - the more input you get from as many people as possible the more chance you have of becoming a good DJ surely? What I don't like is reading books telling me how to become a "successful" DJ - I don't need to be told what music to play and how to get gigs in big clubs - surely most people DJ because it's fun, not because they envisage a career and a jetset lifestyle? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 23, 2002 4:44 PM To: Langsman, Marc Cc: 313@hyperreal.org Subject: Re: (313) Essential reading...
I laughed at first but then... the authors are the same that wrote "Last Night a DJ Saved My Life" which is a fantastic book on the history of the DJ - without seeing the book in person I'd assume it's probably not too bad.
