DJ Lesson #5: The Loop

/0 Comments/by

Today we started with checking if this time my USB stick works. Since the first DJ lesson, I have problems with the TDK 2.0 USB stick. The CDJ-2000 does not recognize the playlist, but if we plugged the USB stick in a Macbook with Rekordbox, everything is there. We could not found any problems. This time I formatted the TDK 2.0 USB stick with a MS-DOS (FAT) structure and marked the option: MBR (Master Boot Record). Nevertheless, it did not work. We are out of options, so lets buy new ones!

Never the less, the music was on the stick (without the database), so the lesson could start!

For weeks I looked forward to this moment! Today I had my first official DJ lesson at the Pioneer Pro DJ school, location Amersfoort. It was awesome! My teacher, DJ Mike Lewis, taught me a lot during my the first lesson. He’s a really great DJ teacher. I have luck to have him!

I’ve had lessons on a big professional Pioneer DJ set (CDJ-2000 Nexus and DJM-900). Wauw! Check the video to see me in action.
