How much Practice time do you guys put in DJ'ing? Do you sit at home and practice 1 hour a day? or 1 hour every 2 days? or at least 2 hours a week? or more?

This question goes out to every member in this forum. What do you practice the most? Scratching? Beat Juggling? Beat Mixing? Talking on the Mic? Reading a crowed?

Well i'm a pure beat mixer, but when i "practice" i work more on technical aspects like beat juggling, just in case i get frisky one night!

55+ hrs of work/week, and eye live with my girlfriend...so that does not leave too much time to red liner (5hrs on a good week).

But when eye do, I'm all over the place. I really like listening to music in general and I do what ever the hell eye feel like doing on any given beat!

A few beers and a phatty usually help keep it loud and interesting.

around 2-3 hours a day.......
i try to practise both on vinyls and cds...every alernate day....(damn i need a cd turntable BAD!!)

basically i'm good at beat mixing, juggling .....it's the scratching that i have started practising alot
(it ain't even close to skilz on the ps2 that's for sure).........by the way skilz when is the ps2 coming out (exact date??)

I get in about an hour and a half a day, though its broken into 15-20 min sessions usually...I find it helps me be more creative then just doing long blocks. I also practice juggling far more than I do scratching, as its always been my stronger suit. I have a couple new styles of juggling that I havn't heard people use yet, but I have trouble pulling one click flares. :>

I practice about 5 hours/week. Usually 1/2 hour each day during the week, then on the weekends I play at least 2-3 hours, cuz usually i got ppl over and they want to hear music. I only do beat mixing. I got 2 PS1's and I've tried practicing with my scratching but with those units, it's just so damn hard!! When I get my PS2's that will be a whole other story though...

2-3 hours. If theres an upcoming gig, then I double the practice time.

I try to get 1 or 2 hours of play time a day. I dont have any gigs for now. Except for my work partys of 600 troops. Military!

I practice, mixing, skratching, and juggling all at once and for reading the crowd; When Im living in the baracks for deployment, I wait for my roommate who seems like hes having a bad day at work. Ill mix and try to see if I can get him going. I try to read him and that, is actually the challange for me. If I can change his mood, then I know I can read a crowd!
