I think these tips are invaluable. I only get 20 to 30 people watching my streams but I truly appreciate those people tuning in to watch me and I always acknowledge everyone on the stream. You're right, I don't worry about the numbers because they have gradually be going up. Thanks for the encouragement 🙏
Great video. This is everything I have been thinking. I’m about to get started streaming and I’ve had DJs I know telling me “What all I need”. I’m like bro…”why do I need all of that?? I’ll just use my iPhone and GO!” Seeing your video confirmed exactly what I was saying. Time to get started! Thanks!!
Dope advice as always. Another thing I think is worth mentioning, don't go crazy on the visuals/animations. No matter how good it looks in your view in OBS, Twitch and streaming in general will compress the video a LOT and make it look a mess. Keep the style clean and simple for the most visual impact.
Yes!!! Cleveland Terry nailed this one. I would like to add another one. Just have fun. It is not about money or having a fan base. Those things will come in time. I enjoy playing and learning more on the live stream. I also check out another DJ live stream (like CT). Since I am under 2 Radio stations umbrella, I have more freedom to promote and play on my 2 shows (working on 3). Also, promote your shows so people know where to find you. For example, I and my DJ partner are part of a family reunion at one of our radio shows next week. It's going to be a weekend event and I've been promoting it mostly on FB.
even though I consider myself good techie person I have been struggling doing proper live stream on IG as this is where most of my fanbase, and your calm and straight forward way helped me a lot, I hope this streaming hype won't last for long and all DJ's artists, Musicians return back to where they belong "Festivals, Clubs, Events, Concerts, Theaters etc...." and let us do what we do best "Creating & Performing Music" instead of juggling 8 balls in the air : D
I think there will be both and you’ll get to choose which one works best for for you. Streaming is not for everyone just like club DJing is not for everyone.
A great vid! I think so many people get caught up in the barrier of entry! Been a longtime music fan, and was gifted a controller. A friend literally said "I think you'd be amazing at this, here's my old rig". Am I a great DJ? no. Am I pretty to look at on camera? Also no.. Buy I have fun and even in a short time I have a bunch of friends that look forward to it. I hope your video inspires lots of people to give it a try.
Great video. Ur helping to get me ready for Twitch. I just wanna have fun and have others have fun with me. I want people to see and feel my passion for music. Soon come!
I bypassed the need for an audio card by rigging up Voicemeter Banana using a 'virtual line' and selecting an audio setting in Serato that allows the audio to pass through to the stream.
Always good advice. I have no Idea who those djs are that you mentioned. Probably not my Genre. I'm a Latin dj. I mix salsa, Bachata, Cumbia, Merengue, and Kizouk. I PRIMARILY follow DJ SOLTRIX out of Tampa. Anyway keep bringing that great info.
I'm not sure how I found this video, but thanks for the information. I've been considering DJing on Twitch for a while now and your advise makes me feel a little better about taking the leap. I just subscribed here and I'll go look for you on twitch in a sec.
I get them all except the numbers section. Remember, that if you have 25-50 viewers consistently viewing your stream there are over 6 Billion people on the planet so the odds that all of them will be in your city let alone State are rather thin. This is why having 2 friends you have coffee with tell another 2 friends they have espresso with tell 2 friends and so on is so important. If you can get all of those friends in the club for coffee and an espresso you are golden.
Thank you for the videos! I appreciate the information as I'm just getting started in the streaming world. It's a bit overwhelming to be honest but it loos to be a lot of fun.
Hi! Great video thank you so much for the insight! I do have a question: I'm currently djing as a hobby and have dj'd at a couple of small friend/family functions. I'm using soundcloud through Serato rn and don't currently have the funds to get into record pool subscriptions or purchasing all of my tracks. I want to start streaming on twitch. Is it ok to use soundcloud feature on serato to dj on twitch? I'm not fully educated on all of the legalities. Thank you in advance! :)
some very good advice but I think No.5 IMO is not true. Most people dont give a shit in clubs about what the DJ is actually doing and its the same on Twitch. Playing good sets, being open, talking with people or doing silly stuff to entertain them is way more important. And this is why beat sync is your best friend on Twitch.
Thanks B. I been on this streaming journey since Ustream and its been rough getting it right. I'm gonna concentrate on the 10 things but I still wanna get a proper camera and a Stream Deck. I'm gonna invest in a new laptop and use my new one for streaming and the old one for bearing or should I do it the other way around? I'm dream of the day that the work flows swimmingly!
Wow we’re thinking the same way. I literally did a FB post to my fellow DJs about all these same points. Gonna share this vid to follow up on that more. Great content as usual! A video I’d like to see in the future is about emotes and subscriber tiers, the benefits of the path to affiliate and partner on Twitch. I’m still learning how to add my own emotes and just a few steps away from Affiliate. Thanks for your videos bc they got me from 3 people now to almost 90 in a few weeks.
Where did you get that background that’s behind you? I’d rather have something like that for livestreams than dealing with cheesy backgrounds over green screens.
Would you still recommend DJing on Twitch since they've started cracking down with DMCAs? My channel is only tiny and I only stream to share my passion & since it feels more like a real liveset, not really for the possible fame, but even so I don't see the point if my channel could be taken down..
They actually haven’t really been taking people down. They are working with the labels to make it legitimate. It’s just going to take time. It’s not just DJs that are the issue. Gamers use commercial music all the time.
Update .I had a simple dirt cheap Behringer and at first i thought it didnt work but i found out it was a dongle issue .New dongle and it worked great.Then Serato brought forth a virtual sound card meaning less wires and less faff and behold a better stream was had by all.I recommend this approach.
my stream personally has never about money .When i did and still do music mixes on youtube the ones that manage to stay up.Its never been about money.I just put stuff up for fun and broadcasting is the same .I sometimes get someone listening and watching my stream and that makes me happy..I would like more but money is not the issue .A lack of listeners, followers ,viewers is
The audio is good i am using cdjs with time coded cds and that works great .I want to get some Rane 12s mk2s at some point or failing that the Denon 6000ms look good .These would remove the need for time coded vinyl or cds which in the long run i think would be better.
Not sure if you will see this , BUT i NEED to know how you got the camera angel at time 4:20. Ive been trying for months and thats how i came across this page, Pls tell me the height you have it and how far back you have it and anything else needed to get this shot PLS P)LS PLS

Love your content!! Great video
Cleveland, Thank you!
Great advice and straight to the point.
My broadcasts do not involve talking and where i am that might be difficult so it just a mix of music and visuals
Thank you for sharing.

Hey Terry.... loving this interlude music! Haha!
Another great video. Thx CT
liked this with 2 accounts, thanks for the helpful tips! just got into Djing so let's get it
Where did you get that background that’s behind you? I’d rather have something like that for livestreams than dealing with cheesy backgrounds over green screens.
Legend thanks brother
Great tips Terry! Good stuff 👍
I keep running across your videos and at this point, it's disrespectful not to subscribe. All the videos have been fire.
Much appreciated

Thanks bro 👊🏻 you said what needed to be said..
Four color Zack started by playing dope music for Bboys at the War room in Seattle. That was before anyone knew who he was.
I wasn’t talking about his DJ career, I was talking about his twitch career.
Awesome bro

Really inspiring

Thank you very helpful tips
5:14 any idea how to mount an overhead camera?
great info....was thinking of getting on twitch but I'm hearing some chatter about a possible crack down coming to twitch
Chatter is chatter. I've been hearing "chatter" for 6 months. Don't sweat it until it happens.
Good job homie
Great video!!
awesome tips
Thank you!
The audio is good i am using cdjs with time coded cds and that works great .I want to get some Rane 12s mk2s at some point or failing that the Denon 6000ms look good .These would remove the need for time coded vinyl or cds which in the long run i think would be better.
Not sure if you will see this , BUT i NEED to know how you got the camera angel at time 4:20. Ive been trying for months and thats how i came across this page, Pls tell me the height you have it and how far back you have it and anything else needed to get this shot PLS P)LS PLS
Thanks Terry. TH-cam vs Twitch streams? Which one is more recommend for live set from your experience
Twitch 100%
@@ClevelandTerry hehe ok :) Any specific reasons?
thank's Cleveland
so good
I appreciate the twitch tutorial. Thanx
