How to Be a DJ: The Complete Step by Step Guide to Getting Your First Show

This book is a bit of a cash-grab. 44 pages long. That is a very small book!In terms of the info, a lot of it is very specific to the time it was published, and contains links to products which may or may not be available by the time you read this.Also it recommends using Spotify for DJing which is a non-standard tool and something I would not recommend for a number of reasons. The recommendation to use bluetooth speakers is a huge mistake in my view, bluetooth and wireless speakers are not something you should use in a professional AV context when there may be a lot of wireless traffic and electrical noise around!I did learn some things from this book, that's why I gave it 2 stars instead of 1. For example, the suggestion to have a card holder at the DJ booth for mobile events is quite a good one, so you can distribute business cards. The recommendation to use sites like TaskRabbit to get mobile DJ gigs is quite a good one, I hadn't considered that kind of gig economy app to get bookings before - have always relied on booking agents.There are much better books out there on DJing though.

Every visited link points to hardware tested only for Mac OS.No really useful tips, 'cause there were no tips in using vinyl and CD but only software-djing.Some tips were useless, because they were not practicable in Germany (no permission to use Spotify for music-business).

Good basic information and easy to read.

Perfect for getting all essentials organized before your DJ event !

Waist of money, the book don’t tell you, how do you Learn to mix music I do not recommend this book
