The more you learn about how to become a dj the more credence you will put on sound quality and the pursuit of perfect sound, in this post I share an experience I recently had that is almost impossible to explain – but it is that amazing it has to be shared so I’m prepared to give it a go!
Let’s say you go into a recording studio and clap your hands, the clap sound you would hear back would be considered as the true sound with no reverb or delay – essentially it would be a sharp, crisp clap. This is because studios are designed to be sound proof and as a result any reverb would be absorbed.
The reason I tell you this is because just recently I went and saw the future of DJing and it blew me away. My hope is this story will inspire you to take the fundamentals you learn from DJ Master Course on how to dj and look at your own DJing future and its possibilities from a different perspective. Before I break my experience down I want you to remember this: The only limits in life are the ones you put on yourself. Read on…

The lion’s share of all DJs now use CDs including the biggest DJs on the planet. These days it is beginning to evolve even further with countless superstar DJs now using laptops, and as each week, month and year passes it is fast becoming the norm, at least it certainly seems things are heading that way.
