A really busy Your Questions show this month with hundreds of questions from our students, the best of which feature here.

We talk in some depth about quick mixing, what it is, when to do it, and - more importantly - how to do it. We talk to a head teacher who's started to get the DJ bug and land himself some gigs, but now wants to know how to get more and more. And a student wants to know why older songs sound so bad when played directly against modern music, and what can be done about it when you're a DJ wanting to play both types.

There are many more questions featured in this packed edition of the show, so we'd like to extend a huge thank you to all of our students for asking them.

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 five-star rating on Apple Podcasts - it really does make a difference.
