I’m only about a month into spinning, but it feels like I have always been on the path to starting DJing one day. I have some musical background but I’m no expert, friends and family say nice things about my mixes but I really have the urge to share great music and the good feeling spinning tunes together brings.

Some practice sessions I jump into a random mix, throwing different songs from my playlist together, mashing up and having fun. Sometimes I sit down and try to create mixes that really work together.

My question is, how do I know whether I’m ready for my first gig? Or do you never really know, and it’s always going to be a leap of faith? I’d love a little family gathering to get started with, but they’re few and far between in my very small family.

So, using rekordbox with Beatport streaming (I know, this is EASY without streaming but I’m new) I’m trying to record some of my mixes looking to progress.

I’ve downloaded OBS, Voicemeteer and all sorts of virtual cable things and I’m totally lost. The sound from my laptop speakers at one point got really distorted and then no sound was playing from my headphones attached to my FLX4.

I’ve uninstalled everything and now I’m good, but no closer to listening back to my mixes. Any help would be massively appreciated.

As the title says. I’ve been “DJing” for literally 1 week, but have always wanted to, so jumped right in with the FLX4. No surprise, but it feels like all the controller I’ll ever need.

However, I’ve seen loads of posts in this sub about getting FLX10s and AZs. This is a specifically beginner oriented sub so I was shocked.

Do people really outgrow the FLX4 while they’re still a beginner?! Or is this just a biased view?
