Splosh 0 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Firstly..... Great SEDA Meeting last night..... Gary you looked great and so helpful as usual... Bleeding Root beet tho... Was 'having wind' all the way home.......!!! :hurt: Right, the main topic... Ages and Ages ago i spoke to Mr Mole and Mr Ansell about mixing.. They set up a couple of 'breif' (Crash doesn't describe it well enough) Mixing nigts at Seda meetings, but the one thing that really rung in my ears was Brian saying that doing a DJ Mixing course really was the catalyst for his success up till now... Well everytime i now see Brian i hear those words in my head, and although i didn't get to speak to Brian last night, i heard those words and the phrase 'do a dj course, you wont regret it' again... So, I have been looking around for a DJ Course... This is where i would like some peoples views... I never really looked into doing this sort of thing, i am much more of a personality jock, but acknowledge that having some "better that very very very basic" mixing skills could enhance my own performance and boost my confidence in areas such as 21st's where i don't feel anywhere near as confident in my use of tracks and their atmospheric punch through mixing as i do when working at Weddings (my main source of work)..... The main problem is finding a course that fits into my spare time...... I have found a weekend Crash Course from Subb-Bass DJ Academy in London that looks good, and would like to hear from anyone that has been on a course with this company... Although i have seen some other websites, nothing has grabbed me as much as the subb bass one and to be honest, very few that i have found are in london or the south east (meaning Kent Really) Now i don't begrudge travelling far, but are there any courses such as weekend courses in Kent???? Basically does anyone know of courses that run in Kent or london that may be beneficial. I don't have a lot of time or money and although that excuse is poor, it is the truth, and travelling to london is not exactly a 30 min / £5 job, so a weekend course means staying away really and costing a lot of money... ideas? thoughts? reccommendations? criticisms? all Welcome... Thanks Peeps... Splosh. Splosh Web: www.2jsroadshow.co.uk jon@2jsroadshow.co.uk Link to post Share on other sites
mikeee 0 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Perhaps Mssr's Mole and Ansell could run an evening somewhere. Hire a village hall for a Tuesday night or whatever. You and nine others paying a small remittance to cover costs. Just an Idea. ..playing all the hits for you... ....whether you may be.... Why can't I see what i going on???

RichardP 0 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 For self-help there appears to be video tutorials on yoochoob (eg. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=t_nBo9p1gb0 ... I haven't checked them out but maybe that would be a start? Also on the self-help front, there appears to be a good clear chapter of how to mix in the excellent How To DJ and I see from the synopsis there's a section on mixing techniques in DJing for Dummies smile icon For hands-on, I'm currently a bit rusty having not been active for some time, but would be happy to help out if Mike's suggestion is followed up. <a href="http://www.djassociates.org"><img src="http://www.djassociates.org/anims/compres_banner.gif" alt="Join the DJ Associates Disc Jockey Association" border="0" width="468" height="60"></a> Link to post Share on other sites

Dukesy 0 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Mikeee makes a good point. This idea has been bounced around for quite awhile (especially in SEDA) but apparently due to lack of support, the potential was never fully released??? When I attended the recent BPM show I think there was a listing in the program about mixing from SEDA reps so probably the best source of general information / for your needs is really going to be back via SEDA channels, especially regarding your areas mentioned!
