    Links to Hot DJ Spots

    There are so many places to go on the internet it's almost to hard to keep track of them. But through out all of my internet travels there are only a handful of on demand video tutorials and that includes mine at iDJOnDemand.com.

    But in light of that I grabbed a few links that I annotated and thought they might be of some help to you in someway shape or form.

    This is a nice site that explains how to master a mix. Dan does a nice job of breaking down the nuances of mastering much better than I could. To me it's more or less knowing your gear.
    Learn How To Master A Mix

    If you've visited my DJ tutorials section you know doubt clicked on the link that leads to the Foundations of Groove by Anthony Oaks. In this tutorials he breaks down every part of the turntable and mixer in plain english.

    If my article on how to choose speakers wasn't sufficient then maybe this guide will help. It gives the same information I do plus it offers a nice explanation of where to set up your speakers.

    In order to consolidate space I moved the membership login to a new directory. You can still login to the e5 members area so you can check out the raw footage. But the raw footage will only be posted for a short time. When the final vids are ready I'll be pulling down the raw vids.

    So, in order to see the final versions of the vids use this URL:

    In order to play the 'WMV' files from your desktop, using your mouse, simply right click on the file name and choose 'save as'. This will prompt you to save the file on your computer.

    Once it's saved on your computer using your mouse, double click on the file where you saved it and it will play back in Windows Media Player.
