Everyone is welcome!  New DJs, experienced DJs, people who have never been a DJ before but are curious, everyone!  We also welcome any club owners that want to join us and let people know that they're hiring.

What is DJ Boot Camp?
DJ Boot Camp is a joint effort being presented by two experienced DJs.  We will teach you all of the technical things that are needed to stream music into Second Life and work as a DJ at any club.  All you need for the class is Mixxx or Sams and to show up with your enthusiasm!

We will discuss the following topics:

Which software to use to connect to a stream and play your music inside Second Life. We will focus primarily on the Mixxx program due to familiarity but may discuss others as well.

Where to find a stream provider inside Second Life and how to set up that stream with your DJ software.  

Where to get music and how to build your music library - because a DJ is only as good as the music they play.

After the class, for those who are interested, we will also cover how to manage voiceovers during sets.

We're just teaching the basics, so that people will be able to work at any club after this and be able to customize their training to work within the club's rules.

And, we're hiring! So anyone who finishes the course is welcome to put in an application at the same time.

what i miss in your lines is the legal side of DJíng .. in special the, in many countries, needed double licensing before you'r allowed to broadcast on the internet (= streaming) and that privately bought music isn't licensed for use to broadcast.
