Digital DJing – DJing with laptops and controllers – has made achieving the “DJ lifestyle” easier than ever.
Do you want to play in your favourite bars and clubs, instead of just going to them? Get on guest lists across town? Be “the DJ” in your circle of friends? Do you dream of playing your favourite tunes to packed dancefloors of people who’ve come just to hear you?

Of course you do! And as you’ve already guessed, digital DJing can get you all of this, more cheaply and more easily than ever was the case for vinyl and CD DJs.
Trouble is though, with all the different systems out there to choose from, as well as digital music, DJing techniques and technical skills to master, it can be almost impossible for you – the new DJ – to know where to start. What gear is right for you? Where do you find the best music? What skills do you need? How do you plug your gear in when you get to the clubs? Hell, what does a DJ even really do nowadays?
Without proper answers to these questions, you’ll find it’s costly, time-consuming and frustrating to get to the stage where you can play a DJ set in public. It often used to take years for vinyl and CD DJs to master the basics, never mind play real gigs – and while it can be easier to get going with digital, you still need to practise the right things in order to do it well enough to play out.
And the harsh truth is that without getting to the stage where you can play confidently in public on your new digital gear, you’re never going to get the success you want. You’ll always be a bedroom DJ, dreaming about it yet getting no closer to it happening for you.

I know all of this because five years ago, I was new to digital too!

I've DJed in some of the world's best nightclubs, and this course takes all of that experience and applies it to digital DJing.

Granted, I’d already been a professional DJ for nearly 10 years. I’d DJed at the biggest club in the world (Privilege in Ibiza), run and DJed at my own wildly successful UK club night for over a decade (Tangled in Manchester), and mixed on the radio (for Ministry of Sound internationally and Kiss/Galaxy FM in the UK). I was already living the dream DJ’s life I’d always wanted, and getting paid excellently for it.
But then I realised digital was the future, and knew I had to switch – and suddenly, I felt like I was back at DJ school! It took many, many months to learn how to DJ digitally. Along the way, I ended up writing some of the very first digital DJ lessons and training courses (for IDJ Magazine in the UK) – because those guys understood digital even less than I did at the time! Slowly, through trial and error, I switched to DJing professionally with laptops and controllers… and have never looked back.
Since then, as well as DJing in “normal” clubs, I’ve played in some amazing places with my controller – places where you could never DJ with traditional gear: Beach parties, pool parties, impromptu raves, even in hotel rooms!
I’ve also taught hundreds of DJs how to become a DJ with controllers and laptops, countless of whom have gone on to get gigs and success for themselves. And as founder, publisher and editor of popular and respected DJ website Digital DJ Tips, I continue to help DJs like you to learn, every single week.
I’m Phil Morse, and today I’ve got some exciting news for all beginner digital DJs!

Realistic Pencil Portrait Mastery Home Study Course

Finally! You Can Now Draw Like A Master...

Let Me Show You How You Too Can Draw Realistic Pencil Portraits Like A Master With My “Truly” Step-by-Step Guide... And Help You To Achieve Your Dream To Become A Master Pencil Artist-- Without Wasting Your Precious Time Going Through Years Of Trials And Errors...

From The Desk Of Christopher Sia
Date: 12 March 2012

Dear Artist,

My name is Christopher Sia and for the past 5 years, I’ve been drawing pencil portraits and teaching thousands of my students to draw as well.

I was a struggling so-called artist trying to learn how to draw realistic pencil portraits.

Obviously, I failed many times.

I couldn’t even draw a decent pencil portrait because I wasn’t gifted in drawing.

I spent my hard-earned money from my part time job to attend drawing courses, but didn’t learn what I needed to achieve the realism of a masterful human pencil portrait.

I can still remember the first pencil portrait that I drew back in 2006, when I didn’t really understand how to attain my potential.

I thought it was nice so I shared it with all of my friends—but they laughed at my portrait drawing.

Looking at their drawings, I felt that I was not as skillful, couldn't draw as well as they could.

Until today, I still keep my first pencil portrait drawing on my drawing table…

                                                                             

After years of trials and errors, I’m now able to draw a pencil portrait like this...

                                            

This is not from overnight success. I’ve been practicing and learning for almost every single day to attain a higher level of pencil portrait drawing.

The truth is... there was this one year period that I did not improve my pencil drawing techniques at all.

After achieving the results that I wanted, I concentrated on teaching others, at the expense of myself. 

Because of teaching others, I lack of practice time and stopped learning in drawing for almost a year! My pencil drawing techniques became stuck at the same level without improvement.

Deep down in my heart, I know that I’ve been satisfied for where I am in my pencil portrait drawing techniques and skills. I’ve been satisfied that I stopped improving my pencil portrait drawing skill.


Then, one day, everything changed...

I was invited to join an event that is organized for every pencil portrait artist to share their art with everyone.

I suddenly did not feel so satisfied anymore. I had thought I was good enough to master the art of pencil portrait drawing... until I met many masters of pencil artists who were far better than me.

Suddenly, I felt like a small fry on the floor compared to them.

And while I was inspired by them, being with these masters made me totally dissatisfied.

 It was time to do some soul searching...

I sat at my drawing table looking at all of my previous pencil portrait drawings… and eventually thought of a different way to draw, to conceive. A different way to make portraits more realistic and lifelike.

I begin practicing and drawing every day again to crack the code of going to the next level of pencil portrait drawing…

The word "practice makes perfect" is so true!

After months of practicing...

My Guitar Learning Experience - What Destroyed My Soul And What Didn't

Guitar is a famous instrument. If you can play guitar, you are so cool. Many pepole learned guitar, but they gave it up. What Destroyed My Soul And What Didn't? Now, I am going to tell you my guitar learning experience. you can learn it well like me.

roughly 6 weeks ago with a little back knowledge from previous musical ventures (I had a friend try 'teach' me which just involved him showing off and me eventually just drinking!) and after comparing the two approaches to learning I've made a few conclusions!
-------------
My first teacher wasn't much of a teacher, we spent more time discussing why I didn't know the names of every metallica song, who Dave Mustaine is or educating me because I hadn't seen Spinal Tap (I must admit the latter was certainly a lesson well spent!).
Unfortunately because my friend spent more time showing off and bragging about how amazing he was at guitar I never learned anything and lost the desire to pick up a guitar ever again - and on top of the practical failure in teaching approach I feel he didn't offer the advice he should have in selecting equipment or essential background theory knowledge.
-------------
After selling my Dean Dime From Hell Baby (3/4 size) I only picked up my acoustic very occasionally, strumming the few basic chords I knew and pretending that in an alternate reality (where musical talent didn't exist and war murdered the children of inspiration and expression) I could be a god. Trundling along with nothing more than a shabby rendition of 'behind blue eyes' and a heavy sigh I had truly given up hope.
-------------
A light at the end of the tunnel! After a whirlwind change of pace in life I find myself romantically attatched/glued/no-more-nails'd to a shit hot professional guitarist. Watching him skillfully noodle away my desire to learn and passion for the guitar is rekindled - and nearly 6 weeks in I'm working on everything from chords and picking styles to modes, legato, sweep picking, string bends and slides!.. (I now also have a beautiful baby Ibanex RG350EX who now set up properly plays like a freakin' dream - totally kick ass!) The approach to teaching that has got me this far in such a short amount of time has made for an invaluable learning experience. I've learned tips and lessons to avoid falling into common traps and pitfalls that later in my playing (as my teacher experienced) would have needed to be corrected...
I hope they benefit you as much as they have me!
In absoloutley no particular order: Things I have learned that every newbie should be told (and a very brief overview of each thing)
*Please note I am in no position to teach guitar only share the knowledge that has been passed on to me so far :) For demonstrations of anything that you don't understand I reccomend finding some awesome shred guru to take you under their wing or at least demonstrate what confuses you!
-*-*-*-*-
Equipment
My first guitar was and is ... firewood. Its horrible to play, as well made as an argos wardrobe and is painfull to use for the fingers and the ears! This guitar put me off playing and I was convinced to buy a Dean (although I was advised to get a 3/4 size due to my tiny, microscopic, midget hands - and now I'm perfectly happy with my full size Ibanez. Go full sized!) and scrap the £80 piece of gosa I started with. The better the guitar the easier it will be to play and the less likely you are to want to throw it out of the window, burning and chopped into little pieces.
Theory
As boring as it sounds, theory gets you places fast. I thought theory lessons would be long and arduous and the concept of having to read sheet music alone scared the crap out of me. Once I realised that as a beginner I don't need to understand the inner workings of a grand orchestra to piece together sweet home alabama I started breathing a bit easier!
- Scales are very very very important to any newbie who wants to play lead (especially crazy ass metal heads who want to shred as badly as I do) one day. Knowing scales also helps you understand why certain notes are in certain chords and makes scary chords like D7sus2 less scary.
Any lick or solo will be based on a scale (I didn't know this) so learning how a scale works/what it looks like and memorising them means that I now know what notes I can and can't use to make a cheesy power ballad solo in B minor.
The first scale I was shown was A minor - a scale that has become very close to my heart as well as the bain of my existance. Learning this shape meant I could play any major or minor scale on the fretboard by just moving the shape to a different fret and/or starting the scale on a different fret (If I play the shape of A minor with my 1st finger on A (5th fret) of the low E string I'm playing A minor but if I play the same scale through starting with my 3rd finger on C (8th fret) on the low E string I'm playing C major.)
- Key is also very important! If you don't know what key a song is in then how can you work out what chords or scales are used in it? If you know that a song is in A minor then you can work out what chords are in it. this may not seem important to need to know now - the tab you've just looked up shows you what chords are in the song - but later when you get bored of the same 3 chords repeating themselves and want to add a bit of spice to the song you'll need to know what notes you can and can't get away with! I found that understanding how a key works, what scales and chords are in a certain key and all that...suddenly as a guitarist I have more confidence because I understand why I'm doing what I'm doing.
- Arpeggios relate to chords. an arpeggio is the first, third and fith note of the scale and played together make a chord. They're not as fear inducing as I expected to be honest and prove very useful! You don't have to play the 1st, 3rd and 5th in that order and can play them anywhere on the fretboard you like to make the shape easier to play. This one I think makes for a fun practice excercise and an excuse to crank the amp up and really piss the neighbours off.
- Modes made my brain hurt. Not necessarily an essential thing for a beginner to know...but I suffered so I think you should too. This is my simple explanation that I hope doesn't make your brain turn to gelatenous mutant coconut.
Modes give a scale a slightly different feel for whatever style you want to play in (phrygian gives you a more mexican feel for example). Modes are major or minor scales with raised or flat notes and can be remembered as follows (this one tickled me when I was told it):
I Discovered Penis Last Monday After Lunch
I - Ionian ( Major Scale )
D - Dorian ( Minor Scale with a Sharp 6th note )
P - Phrygian ( Minor with a Flat 2nd note )
L - Lydian ( Major with a Sharp 4th note )
M - Mixolydian ( Major with a Flat 7th )
A - Aeolian ( Minor Scale )
L - Locrian ( Minor with a Flat 2nd and Flat 5th )
*Sharp = a semi-tone higher (one fret - eg, 8th to 9th fret)
*Flat = a semi-tone lower (one fret - eg, 8th to 7th fret)
And the modes are in this order because it works out that If you play A Ionian you could also say you are playing B Dorian, C Phrygian, D Lydian, E Mixolydian, F Aeolian or G Locrian depending on the note you start on.
-----
Thats all the theory my brain has been required to cope with so far but has made my progression as a guitarist far more efficient and much more understood than I ever got with attempted self teaching or my previous guitar 'teacher'.
-----
THE FUN BIT
Practical work
I found practicing before wasn't at all productive when I didn't know what I was meant to be practicing...or more importantly why. My long term goal (for this time next year) is to be a shred demon. Shred demon in a year sounded pretty impossible 6 weeks ago, but there again 6 weeks ago I didn't think I'd be starting to learn how to sweep pick by now.
I found that having lots of techniques to work on was better than perfecting only a few. I get bored easily and would rather switch between scales, endurance excercises, alternate/down picking, legato, sweep picking etc and gradually improve on everything than say be kick ass at chords and legato but not know the first thing about speed picking or bends and have messed up picking habbits.
Finding the right position for your arm and wrist over your guitar will help make playing it so much easier. If you have the wrong hand position then you're not gong to get the best sound when you pick/strum! Holding the pick correctly (NOT LIKE A PEN) has also been drummed into me.
Muting strings is a useful skill which will probably crop up everywhere! Within my first week of learning I was using palm muting to play For Whom The Bell Tolls.
Legato
I like legato. Its fun to do and once I built up a bit of muscle on my fingers and they got the idea of what was going on I didn't find it particularly frustrating to pick up. Legato (hammer ons and pull offs) seems to make everything twice as fast with half the effort. Yay!
Endurance. No point in being able to play the chord sequence for Offsprings 'I want you bad' if you have a dead arm by the first chorus. Simple :D
Timing is more important than speed. Being able to play 5 notes consistently at say 60 bpm is better than messily and out of time at 120 bpm! I constantly made mistakes and didn't understand why whenever I used to attempt anything harder than twinkle twinkle little freakin' star it fell on its face. Realising that Master of Puppets sounds better when I play it right and slowly made me realise how much stress I put myself under going for it at full speed.
Finger Strength and stretching fingers. I was given message in a bottle as a good song to practice stretching my fingers. Its really simple to play and gets your fingers used to the biggest stretch you should ever really need to pull off! Simple legato excercises over scales are good for building up strength and endurance as well as keeping scales fresh in your mind.
---------
The most important thing to remember is why you want to play the guitar! It wont happen overnight so keep your goals and ambitions at the forefront of your mind and don't let people like Yngwie Malmsteen or John Petrucci destroy your soul too much! We won't be newbies forever!
Happy playing and I hope this has helped at least one person out there become a better musician!
If you want to make money at home, I highly recommend you

Easiest Trick Photography

Trick photography is a creative way to give some zing to bare photos. By trick photography, one is able to make enliven images by maximizing photography techniques. In doing this, photographers, both amateur and professional can make stunning shots of sites and other subjects. Recently, there are a pretty decent number of trick photography techniques which can give you exquisite shots. Some of them are amply described to give you an idea on how trick photography can be done.
Imaging is a trick photography technique wherein a number of photos are depicted in just one shot. This is done in order to lever the dynamic range of portraits. High dynamic range is necessary to give luminance, and balanced lights and shadows to photos. This also helps to accentuate extra details. This technique is software-based. You can make use of Unified Color’s HDR PhotoStudio or HDRsoft’s Photomatrix Pro. In using this technique, you must first take several shots of the same view or scene, but each must have varying exposure settings. When done, load the photos in the HDR processing software. This software will then combine the photos in just one shot. You may adjust the HDR effect as you please, through the software’s tone mapping settings.

Long Exposure Trick Photography

This technique is chiefly used in taking shots by night in order heighten the brightness to be used in the portrait. This technique makes the images more catchy, dramatic, and artistic. As the name suggests, this trick photography technique is done by escalating the period within which the camera’s film or sensor is exposed to light. The long exposure to light results in light trails or makes the image appear to be in motion. This technique also creates a mystic mood when used for images of mists or fog. Photos can be taken under this trick photography technique using a digital camera. You’ll just have to use an ipod to maintain steadiness. In the settings, you just have to adjust the light exposure as you want them to be.
Reflection Photography is one of the commonly used trick photography technique today. Reflections can lead to a variety of effects. These effects can be maximized in order to arrive with some spectacular photos. This method uses reflections coupled with superb photography techniques. With reflection photography, the reflection photos may either be the main theme or simply a background for the main subject. Reflection photography is often associated with water planes portraits. In this type, fantastic images like mountains, trees, or skyscapes reflected on the waters can be photographed with perfect symmetry. To add more beauty to the images, photographers also combine it with other features like docks, silhouettes, shorelines, and the like. Reflection trick photography is often done by near dawn. By this time, the water is calm. As such, the reflection of images on the water becomes still, which is perfect for photography.

Miniature Effect Trick Photography

 

This is a trick photography technique wherein images can appear too small for their actual sizes. With this technique, one can make buses, trains, or cars appear like figurines. This effect can be had by capturing pictures through the tilt-shift lens or the perspective control lens. This technique is done by focusing on the lens’ tilt control. The tilt then becomes adjusted such that the lens literally appears to be tilted on the film or sensor’s face. This effect will enable the photographer to determine in which part of the scene the sharpest point must go. Also, the lens’ wide aperture will result to an extremely narrow focus such that only an extremely minimal part of the image will appear sharp. The rest of the image will then become blurred. The miniature trick photography technique is commonly used for subjects such as cars, landscapes, people, and buildings. Shooting on a levered area like a mountain or hill can also give the miniature look of the subjects.

Trick Photography by Perspective Distortion

 

This technique is done by faking the sizes and distance of images. If you see a photo where the subject appears to be unusually large in contrast with the objects surrounding it – such an image was taken using perspective distortion. This technique is a matter of camera trick, creative poses, and by the distance between the main subjects as against the background.
Trick photography is truly a remarkable way on how to capture real good shots, and confuse the viewers at the same time. With this technique, photographers can truly make impressive images and further enhance their skills. Not to mention the profits that may come. Undoubtedly, images taken by trick photography is now patronized a lot. It is used for commercial purposes or in sites and articles. But photographers are reminded not to exaggerate the use of trick photography. Too much of trick photography makes the image appear too loud and gimmicky.
