The DJ /Mentoring workshop started with an introduction of each participant's name, age and future aspirations. This ensued with a quick mentoring discussion. We discussed the concept of Focus, self-belief, dedication, hard work and commitment and how these values can translate into creating success into a youth's journey in life.
After a very constructive discussion, questions & answers, we, then proceeded to discuss what the DJ gear represented. They learnt about the aspects and function of CDJs, controllers - mixers - DJ Software & Hardware and were explained how the gear is set up before any DJ gig.
The youth also learnt the basic principles of mixing by: Selecting a track on the computer loading it into the software Pre-listen the song through the headphones Adjusting the BPM/ speed of the track if necessaryPress play - pause – stop
