wondering about DJing

I was thinking about learning how to dj at my parties and friends parties but i don't know how to start. if anyone can help me out and let me know what software i need to start learning let me know here or in game as Indis Lindley thanks

Here is how it was explained to me by my friend Robert; if anyone sees any mistakes be sure to point them out! I haven't actually had time to DJ myself either.

go to http://http.apache.org/download.cgi and go to the "Apache HTTP Server 2.0.55 is also available" area, download the source
you'll find the DSP there
[http://www.shoutcast.com/download/broadcast.phtml]
the DSP plugin for winamp that is
oh yes, you'll also need shoutcast server from the site too, so you'll have to get that as well
easy enough to find by navigating the site
get the GUI
or rather, when installing pick the gui version
then in program files > shoutcast open the sc_serv.ini and you'll probably have to edit the max users and bitrate stats


Wish I could be a little clearer, but this is just a transcribed conversation, and hope it at least helps you get started!

Step 1: Obtain a DJs liscence from your respective national government and pay the dues needed to the various liscencing orginizations.

Step 2: Do not proceed to step 3 until step 1 is complete.

Step 3: Learn how to DJ.

Just connect with me inworld ;o)
