Customer Reviews

Great for novices and professionals alike!

I've never read one of the "... for Dummy" books before so I was unsure of how basic they break down a topic. "DJing for Dummies" was thorough, from selecting equipment to beatmatching, from demo creation to club management relations. It is an EASY read but doesn't "talk down to the reader". I have been DJing for 12 years and, although I knew most of the contents of the books through self teaching and experience, there were still many tidbits of information that I 1) never knew, 2) forgot or 3) wasn't doing it per the book's recommendation. If you are a beginner, this book will certainly help you get on your way into the business. If you're a seasoned DJ, this book can still be a great reference for you. Hey, it even inspired me to splurge on a new MIXER !!! : )) Highly recommended!!!!

Fantastic resource

Like me you may have a love of some kind of music. You may see a live DJ and think to your self "I know I could do that" but really not know anybody in the industry or with the same fascination. I found this book to be informative and a great introduction to the concept of DJing. I am reading it for the second time. It has helped me along on several different levels, invaluable really!!!

just a DJ

This book is very usefull for all DJ starters, a very comprehensive book with a clear explanations

perfect for the begining dj

this book helped me go from a bumbling idiot to a dj that is now playing out in a matter of 3 months! best purchase i could have made. HIGHLY RECOMENDED!!!

Pick up this book now. Great for any level dj. Read it more than once. You'll learn something

I picked up the book a week ago. You know what? I liked it a lot better than "How to Dj Right". For the beginner dj the books explains in detail what a lot of us might be embarrassed to ask. The first few sections of the book seemed a tad slow for me. Maybe because I've already got my gear and know the basics. After a few days I decided to re-read the first parts of the book and what do you know, I learned something new. Worth every penny
