A great passion of mine is creating a DJ mix for my radio show on KPOO 89.5 San Francisco. The mix is coined the San Francisco Street Inspire House, the name was derived from me spinning live on the streets corners of San Francisco using my mini-portable DJ unit. When I was a kid and just discovering music and my interest in audio, I would use my older sisters Jean and Loray’s cassette recorder that had a handheld microphone. I would record mixes from radio station WYBC & WNHU in New Haven, Connecticut. Every weekend the DJ’s on the air would mix Disco and Soul Music. Each week I would learn from the previous week how to improve the overall quality of my recording by adjusting the microphone to various positions until I was able to gain my ideal sound, I guess would can say I was training my ear. Some weeks the recording of the music would peak with distortion. On other occasions the microphone was too far away from the speaker and the audio signal of the recording would record week. Other times, the family would be milling around the house so I was able to hear people walking up and down the stairs, or the running of the vacuum cleaner, or even the flushing of the toilet, all of these household affects was captured while I was recording the radio signal using an eternal microphone. Then I learned to close the door and windows, ensure everyone was out of the house or at lease settled down before I would try once again. After several weeks, I was able to capture the cleanest, crispest sound quality that one was able to record using a Zenith Portable Cassette Record from 1979. Till this day I hold the passion for recording my mixes as I did when I was a young lad exploring the world of audio. Although today, I use DJ equipment that extends way beyond the quality of an analog cassette tape however, I can say I gained a trained ear for audio during those sessions.

I can really say that you are musically inclined. All musicians start from scratch and until they find ways to improve themselves or their sound. I recommend if you would want a better recording, try a recording microphone and just plug it in the computer and install a music editor. It'll help you practice your editing skills and improve your recordings better.

Though I do not make a DJ mix for radio, I sometimes make playlists of music on my phone. I usually make playlists that are somewhat on the same vibe and theme of my novels. For example, I used mellow and sad music that is perfect to be played at night for one of my novels while another playlist is happy and bubbly. It's all based on the mood and the theme of the book that I'm writing a novel.

With ear training you can master tuning by ear and relatively tuning. For beginners and professionals need to keep their ear in shape in order to know what they are playing and to anticipate what they are about to play. This is best training for DJ's music.
