DJ Bible Summary (= magic potion!)
Dear fellow DJ's,
Read through this thread and you will be pouring DJ-ideas into your brains that will constantly remind you of HOW TO BE A DJ.
Although I'm a new DJ, I've been extensively studying this site for quite some time. Especially the DJ Bible was extremely useful to me. So, to anyone who wants to become a DJ, one advice: READ THE BIBLE!!!!! That's your basis from which you can build further on.
Reading good threads (from which the Bible is composed!) gives you a confidence boost. Adrenaline flows through your veins when reading how a DJ should think, act, talk, etc. You feel like the Man sitting behind your computer, can't wait to put it into practice. But the moment you walk out that door to go into the field, you start losing the DJ-feeling. You can't remember all the good advice.
In order to practice, you should know the theory, and the theory is the Bible. When out in the street, you should have a clear overview of DJ-theory, then select a topic and practice it.
How do you get this theory in your head? By STUDYING.
So, how do you study? If you're going to college, you know you don't learn an extensive course of quantum mechanics in just one day. You should study it over and over. In order to pass your exam, you should have studied it at least three or four times, and still... Than make exercices over and over until you play with it.
The DJ Bible is an extensive and structured course of DJ-ism. Studying it over and over would take a tremendous amount of time. What do you do with such a course? You make a summary that contains the most important ideas of the course.
The result would be a compact structured list of main DJ-ideas. It would only contain about 10 pages. When you would read through it, you would be bombarded with confidence boosting truth, each line would give an impact on your mental state, remembering you "Yes! That's how a DJ is. That's how a Man is. That's how I am!!". Everything you should remember is poured into your brains at a high rate, like a magic potion giving you sudden strength (ever seen Asterix & Obelix? ).
The big advantage of this summary is that it would be compact, easy to read, structured and a quick locator of ideas in the Bible, in case you want to read more about some particular topic.
So guess what I did I read through the Bible, each day a few topics (something EVERYONE of you should have done/be doing!). While reading, I took notes of the most important ideas, advices, techniques in the text. Doing so I reduced the threads to their essence.
Now, I will be giving this summary in this thread, chapter by chapter, so the structure is conserved.
Of course, this summary reflects what I think is most important. I stress you should also read the Bible itself in order to have a more complete view.
Once you studied, you can start practicing...
Enjoy it!!!!
