Are you speaking from experience? 'Cause that's not even vaguely related to how any of the DJs I know (including a couple of professionals) got started. The prime motive for most DJs is sharing cool music, and Casio keyboards don't do that..

    No. Not from experience at all. I saw a small documentary once saying DJs remixed and sometimes create almost entirely new music and that they used computer based audio tools to do so. I'm probably thinking of a different profession. My ignorance, sorry.

    All good, was just wondering.

    I do DJ (non-professionally). I generally think there are two skills with DJing:

    • Taste, library management and music choice, which is not a technical skill, but does take a bit of effort in preparing for a set
    • Actual technical mixing skills, which many DJs (including me) barely have, but some take to a level that is on basically a form of musicianship.

    I don't think AI can really help you do either.. but I guess it could make a mixed set and you could pretend to play it, like a Casio keyboard
