The Best Digital Dj Tips?
What are your best tips for a new digital dj?
If you could only teach a new digital dj one thing: What would it be?
1 tip per post please.. 
Build & tag your music collection properly.
Play good music - the only tip that matters! fail on this, then who cares!
Specifically- Learn your music (structure, timing, breaks, builds, sounds etc).
Read the Blog. Almost every question I have ever had there was a blog posted on it, in quite good detail.
A well structured/tagged (and BACKED UP!) music collection.
same tip i would give to an analog dj: do it for the love of the music.
there are better options if your goal is to get rich, better choices if you want to get the girls, etc.
Have a backup of EVERYTHING (music, 2 OSes on your machine, backup plans for sound card/controller failure..)
Be able to rock a party on any gear thatâs available, not just one controller, and at some point thatâs going to mean learning to beatmatch by ear.
Smash your laptop and buy some vinyl.
Only joking, of course! Err, letâs see⌠Pay attention to the crowd and try to gauge their reactions to what your currently playing. Then adjust the direction of your set accordingly.
Effects supplement the mix, rather than define it.
Have fun. If youâre not having fun, then whatâs the point?

Play out as much as possible, house parties, bars, throw your own parties. The more you play out the more you grow.

âThe Best Digital DJ Tipsâ
My biggest tip for new digital DJs- completely forget about key analysis software and any hype youâve read about following a Camelot wheel, it will probably only hold you back and make your song selection worse. Just train your ears and cue tracks and play whatâs right for the moment and listen if it sounds good, not what code is next on a circle.
know your library - thatâs got to be my biggest struggle; is getting new music all the time and not enough time to listen to it until i really know each track. wave forms help but you canât rely on that alone.
Grow thick skin and forget about older DJâs (like me) who tell you that it was so much better back in the day. It wasnât better it was just different - very different.
Oh, and learn to DJ on vinyl - It will make you a better DJ. 
Read the manuals for your equipment and/or software.
Less is more.
Buy less tracks that mean more. Too many djs have 23590360954874 songs and donât know what they are.
Take your art more seriously than yourself.
Get rid of the filler tunes from your tune collection.
