Well, to clarify: All I'm saying is by the time one gets to the point when they want to DJ themselves, it's the norm that they've been to a good number of parties and saw enough DJs in action to understand how it works. I'm not saying it's so easy that anyone can just watch someone and be able to do it. It's a question of attention and interest. You either "get it" or you don't. If one "gets it" they should be able to pick up the rest by reading books and/or watching tutorials.

I'm not against anyone taking lessons. I was trying to get across that he doesn't need to wait for someone to show him how, just to get started. Especially if he already has all the gear!

Go and get some music and get to it son.

How's that saying go? "The magic was inside you all along" ;-)

Now that is what I'm talking about. It never hurt anyone to step in and help someone out in their learning the tricks of the trade.I have been almost entirely self taught, but I knew alot of people that spun when I got started so that helped. I have since helped a couple of people define and clean up their own sounds.

Nothing but love and props for you stepping up and offering to help even more so because it's not necessarily your genre. I hope that you both learn something.
