DJ Tips: How to Prepare a Backup USB Stick
MUSE INC.'s DJ Tips series continues with another great tip for DJs pursuing a career in the profession.
Every event you play has its own atmosphere. But what if something suddenly goes wrong with your main USB stick – corrupted files, tracks that won't load? That's right: DJs should always have a plan B, and that means preparing a “backup” USB stick.
How do you do it? Digital DJ Tips has broken down its advice on carrying a backup USB. You need to make sure of a few important things: check it thoroughly so your USB won't fail while you're playing, and set up a playlist for each genre – don't cram too many tracks into one playlist…
Want to practise this with a teacher? The beginner DJ course (Level 1) takes you from the gear to your first set in three weeks, on the school's CDJs and controllers.
