So for the past 5 years I've been the worlds worst DJ. Originally due to a lack of turntables to practice on, and then due to a lack of records that were within mixable range.
To solve the problem of not having enough records I got myself Torq with Connectiv (thank you christmas bonus). Now I have plenty of things to mix and to help me learn to beat match.
Before I start taking advantage of the really crazy stuff that Torq will allow me to do I'm forcing myself to get my bread & butter DJ skills down so that I could still DJ on a system without Torq.
Since I still have problems hearing the direction of the drift, I still have problems beat matching. So I hit upon an idea that might help me out.
The idea is to start of simple and build up the sonic complexity as I learn.
First I will create a few simple drum loops (with my FL Studio) with no real backing music. Export those as mp3s in a load of different BPM. Open these up in Torq and randomly choose two to mix, when I get the mix, hold it for a bit, then load up the next file... rinse and repeat.
Thoughts?
