Opener is front to back by buku. I loop and eq a small section from the end and it goes perfectly into the next song for a bit when sped up to 130 which is the bpm of the next and most songs there after.

Thank you! I will give this a try!

I also love music.

But yeah, you're right lol. One of us is working and the other is passing the time.

I used to fuck hot girls for free all the time. Now I make 6 figures a year doing it on the side.

Things are a lot better when you get paid to do them.

IDK why but the biggest thing messing me up right now my first track is 85 BPM and then I jump to 130 to mix in the next track. I then turn beat sync off and put the 130 bpm track as master. For some reason sometimes the BPM will just randomly change to 125 or 128 when I'm loading on tracks and it does it with or without sync on. Trying to figure out what's going on. I wish there was a way to lock every track in at 130 after I start playing the second track. Sometimes it does lock in, sometimes it doesn't. That's pretty much the only thing that's throwing me off. I'm making the mix on a FLX4 at home.

I'll come back to this post a year from now and let you know how things are going for real. I think there's a way to set a reminder on reddit.

Many successful DJs become millionaire's from the indsutry although they are also music producers usually as well. I believe I can do the same or I wouldn't be doing it. I don't do SoundCloud lol. My original plan is to make the mix, put around $5000-$10,000 into paid ads with laser targeted demographics and then have the plays pay back the investment over time. I know this works I literally already do it in another indsutry lol. I know people talk a lot of game but my track selection is insanely good and I'm confident on the mix being something people listen to multiple times. Obviously it's all mixed in key etc

I already have domains purchased under my dj handle all socials synchronized, branded etc. I did all this before I ever bought a deck.

I'm honestly surprised more people don't approach it as a serious career. I'm here to tell you, you can absolutely make far more than 6 figures a year if not more touring and performing. You just have to know what you're doing.

We might have different long term goals here.

I am super new to DJing but I'm not new to building 6 figure businesses from scratch (I've built 3, they now run themselves for the most part). I know if I have a perfect set that people actually enjoy listening to over and over, that I can market it in a way that will bring me in work. Rather or not I can execute that same set perfectly 100% of the time is up for debate, but there's a reason a perfect set is one of my first goals as a DJ. I'll build the skills over time through repetition. My immediate goals are to market my end product and start booking gigs. I love to DJ but not as a hobby. The juice has to be worth the squeeze for me financially.

Keep in mind, most everyone in this sub is a DJ. We all care about the skills. Club owners care about profit and how big of a crowd you as a brand can draw to the venue, and the crowd only cares about how good the music sounds and how it makes them feel. You can be the best DJ in the world but you won't ever be anything without marketing and branding skills.

I've been to hundreds of nightclubs and festivals. 99% of the crowd does not care if the mixing is being done live. Only Djs care about that. I have a solid plan in place. The question I posted here was about the best way to go about a small technical step in a much larger big picture.

My end goal for 2024 is to DJ full time for a living for the next decade or so. I wonder if any of the people downvoting all my comments have an actual successful career in DJing.

Tbh I'm going to attempt to make a career switch into DJing. I watched a lot of interviews and when people play at the big big events, they have a perfect mix and they just hit play and half ass pretend to mix because venues that large don't want any mistakes in their performance. I love to mix live and have fun with it but I need a solid portfolio of branded mixes and that's what I'm attempting to make.
