Join Phil Morse and the students of the Digital DJ Tips school, as they look at three burning topics in the world of DJing.

EPISODE NOTES
Beatgridding your music has been a necessary evil for digital DJs who want to use features like sync, loop, beattied effects, accurate hotcues, and so on, for many years. However, while beatgridding 2.0 improved on beatgridding 1.0 by handling songs with slightly varying BPMs a little bit better, not much has changed over the years – until now, that is – because new software is now able to use AI to basically kill manual beatgridding entirely. People, beatgridding 3.0 is here – and we talked about it in this pod, and what it might mean for DJs.

We moved on to talk about audio engineering for DJs and why it’s important for DJs to have at least a basic grasp of what audio engineering is, and how they can use it in their hobby. Whether it’s simply tidying up individual songs or making DJ mixes sound better, or going further and extracting audio from bigger pieces of work for use as a DJ, knowing your way around audio editors, audio repair software, and even audio routing software is a surefire way to improve what you’re capable of doing… way before you get to your decks.

And finally, this month we looked at motorised platters, spinning jogwheels, and asked the question: Why? They haven’t gone away, which you might expect to have happened since turntables stopped appearing in DJ booths, and – lo and behold – now even turntables are on the way back. What is the enduring appeal of having something spinning on your DJ gear? We came up with some answers.

As ever, this pod is supported 100% by the students of Digital DJ Tips, and it was recorded in a live webinar with lots of student feedback. If you enjoy it and you can, please do give us a fivestar rating on Apple Podcasts. It really does make a difference.
