TIP OF THE NIGHT: If you really want to learn how to DJ or produce to the next level, start by experimenting and just create rough ideas with whatever app or device you are using. Do not limit your starting point! We have learned that by just getting your hands dirty and pressing every button usually will show you what the app or device is doing. Hey, you can always reset your app or device to its default position and start over. Have fun learning!
