it took me 2 years of practice before i first played out. but no matter how long you've played for there's always room for improvement

Took about a week.
No not really, just wanted to beat Robbie Jay :) I'm having enough problems with the one shitty deck I have now. It doesn't play 45 rpms unless you give it a little push  But it's got about 20 years worth of playing time behind it, so I don't blame it.

Well, for me I have a lot of bad days......Wait make that......Out of the 4 times I've used my friends turntables I've had 1 good session.
I reckon thats alright consider I don't don't actually have them.
Practise is the key!

I've been learning to DJ now for about 7 months.... and I'm not the best beat matcher in the world. I can see definite improvements though. Mate of mine who's been DJing for about 8 years reckons I'm not bad considering I only practice for about 2 hours a week lol... however, no matter how good I get there'll always be room for improvement

been mixing 3 years in the bedroom - took me a about 6 months to learn beatchmatching and mix arranging, now im all sorted, got a residency at a new hardcore night in plymouth - but there is room for improvement - im not as good as a couple of my mates.....
ive got a pair of numark tt1910's here at home, and im forever ****ing up on em cos they are shite and have been battered, but when i get on technics or just better decks in general, im fine.

hmmm...i'd say about 4 months - but i've understood the concept of DJing and how dance music worked ever since i was a nipper which may have helped. Started off a year ago with an aging copy of Virtual Turntables and my also aging P200 PC. Although many regard PC DJ programs as
