Of how I became a DJ

I heard everyone can become a DJ these days, so I decided to try my hand in it.
I googled the net for a good dj software and came across this "virtual dj mix station". "Its quite a good software and is very good for starters", that is what a review at download.com said. I downloaded it.
After I ran the software on my laptop for the first time and played with it for a few minutes, I realized that I had potential to remix a song. This is what I did to make my first remix-

1. I took a song from the film " Dil to pagal hai" and made a loop of its beats. This required a certain sense of rhythm which I had acquired in my tabla learning days. I had to wait for a certain part of the song where there was no lyrics and then I captured the drum beats in a loop of 4 beats. There are two mixers on the software screen. I used the first on to do this.

2. I then took up the Titanic song (yes, my heart will go on..) on the other mixer and killed its treble and bass with help from the software.

3. After that I synced the song with the beats again with the help of the software.
I tried till the whole pitch and beats matched the song. To do so effectively, I had to increase the pace of the song.

4. I listened to this for some time and decided that though it was not perfect, I had created my first remix and it was time to record the song.

5.I recorded the song from the beginning with a record option available in the software. Thus was ready my first remixed song.

I have since done a lot of such innovative remixing and beat making. I guess I am more good in the fusion genre where I mix tabla beats with western drum beats. It also helps that I listen to a lot of songs and can recall well which songs contains the kinds of beats that I am searching for. After I have a good playing time with these songs, my version of the beats are very different from the original ones and seem fresh too, thanks to a few additions in the software and my enhanced skills which I have gained through practice.
I hope this article serves as an inspiration for people wanting to do something with music and also as a sort of tutorial to those who have just entered into software DJing.
