10 DJ Streaming DOs and DON'Ts For TWITCH -

[@staffordalvi1929]

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 🙏

[@jd3radiovoiceover565]

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!!

[@derekjohnston6182]

You nailed it. These points are exactly what is important to remember when streaming

[@DJDRFUNKJUICE]

I love this video I wish a lot DJs paid attention to this it will help them become better live streaming DJs. Keep up the work 👊🏾❤️.

[@stever3048]

Good stuff…still relevant in 2024!! Thank you!

[@NotesNNotes]

Thank you! This is so helpful. I probably won’t ever really DJ live cuz no controller and no skills haha but this video is great ❤

[@dyad2382]

The MOST VALUABLE TIPS EVER!!! Thanks so much Terry... I'm streaming on TikTok have been worried about the numbers. 😅Have FUN and show it💯🎶🥳💃🕺

[@wassembly]

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.

[@Ninja_Gaijin]

yeah I hate 3D animated crap on screen

[@househeadspeakz]

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.

[@wlkr_tejas_rngr]

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.

[@AngelD68]

Awesome video my guy. Better late than never catching these tips....

[@DavidJSullivan8]

You are always on point. Was getting discouraged. Thank you. I needed that pep talk. All the best to you Cleveland Terry. Be well and safe.

[@djwrahfael]

Thank you very much for your tips. Now my streams will sound and look much better! 🙏🏻

[@bryanketler9354]

Thank you. Very informative and down to earth for us newbs thinking about streaming on Twitch but literally have NO clue.

[@MrSkully93]

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.

[@mocairo8084]

Respect... the most humble and straight forward advice I have ever watched in years. Thank you for the great content

[@mocairo8084]

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

[@ClevelandTerry]

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.

[@mocairo8084]

@@ClevelandTerry Yes you are totally right

[@kerrithurman7282]

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!

[@DanielleKingdjdinosaur]

My broadcasts do not involve talking and where i am that might be difficult so it just a mix of music and visuals

[@ygrpz]

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.

[@djnutt5950]

Thanks Dj this will help me out a lot with my streaming your help is much appreciated

[@MrInternationalSound]

#1 for me.. no followers on twitch but its such a great feel to play music without watching if your gonna get kicked for copyright

[@mickaelcoralie6710]

Thanks Terry, you give me more motivation to start directly on my phone 👍🏾 🙏🏾 😊

[@phatdutch1029]

I like your advice, I'm trying to start my stream journey so this was very helpful....thank you!!!

[@nightbt]

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.

[@rossvisualss]

Awesome video! I have automated lighting and a concert sound system in my studio! I usually have it jamming. Should i not have the live sound going!?

[@DJMissMilan]

Your videos are always so good! Thanks! biggest advice is "DONT WATCH THE NUMBERS"

[@nicktaylorsound]

These are solid tips man! Keep it simple... wise words for many things.

[@cosmicseaproductions]

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.

[@allanturner-ward3980]

Thankyou Terry 🙏

[@tankerock]

Great advice and straight to the point.

[@djtrepound2407]

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.

[@DJMARINKOx]

great info - i just started streaming and i found this info very useful

[@liamosheauk]

Great advice. Thanks for sharing

[@djbrentcarson]

Hey Terry.... loving this interlude music! Haha!

[@richardg8687]

Love your content!! Great video

[@necroneko8088]

that's pretty much on point!

[@emajen_music]

Great video thanks very much for all the tips and advice :)

[@djtrish724]

can you please tell me what I need to buy to start off with at the beginning. I am hearing two computers, one camera, irig2. Do I have to have a sound card please thank you

[@darylng904]

Thanks Terry! It all make sense. Thank you

[@OJamesHicksOfficial]

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

[@kumara3993]

This video was extremely helpful! Thank you sir!

[@geraldfer]

I think my biggest concern is.. is it 100% within doubt that if I use OBS.. I will be able to use a mic and be heard on a stream instead of making a path for Rekordbox to be heard... I hear myself in my studio on my DDJ 400 by way of my audio interface.. where is the truth with this interface issue.. BTW... I'm still not sure if I'm broadcasting out with my mic 🎤🎙️

[@rsx4989]

Thank you

[@DanielleKingdjdinosaur]

like i said i have my ipad on showing my stream and sometimes my partner will watch the stream via her under table computer and projector which is how i found out about the time difference between my performance and what everyone sees .This matters because at first i used to finish my show then look at it after and the end would be chopped off and thats because of the delay between what i am doing and what gets shown so now i monitor my ipad to be sure i am finished there before i sign off.

[@djdub63]

Thank you for sharing your insight it is appreciated.

[@videorat]

Another great video. Thx CT

[@MrOldSkoolMan]

Great tips Terry! Good stuff 👍

[@gispydanger6351]

Love your points

[@Yungmonte]

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! :)

[@donsmooth514]

Definitely on point with this top ten. !!!

[@Junglejunkeeyyz]

Great video! Nailed everything I was doing wrong

[@flash89music]

Legend thanks brother

[@bfastier]

Thanks bro 👊🏻 you said what needed to be said..

[@ItsLumiVR]

Solid info here! Keep it up!

[@MoEnyce]

great info....was thinking of getting on twitch but I'm hearing some chatter about a possible crack down coming to twitch

[@ClevelandTerry]

Chatter is chatter. I've been hearing "chatter" for 6 months. Don't sweat it until it happens.

[@Keif_Stoned]

Awesome advice.

[@velanche]

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.

[@playmu5ic]

Thanks for the tips Bruh !!

[@uncleo9336]

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!

[@DJAdrian.Esparza]

A very good and insightful video.

[@clesiosc2245]

Hello, I don’t have 2 computers, I only have a MacBook Pro 2016. Can I still stream OBS and dj on the same laptop?

[@DJIronMIc]

Thank you very helpful tips

[@expdwilliams545]

Good job homie

[@coxwagan]

Thanks for the information just describe to your channel.. I'm an old school DJ from back in the day this is my hobby and one of my passions I'm a collector of music I have all types of genres . I'm trying to understand how I could buy a record back in the day and play it at a party without copyright infringements but if I want to scream it even though I own the record not the art it seems that I'm not allowed to on twitch for copyright reasons so how do DJs get around these guidelines and reference to being able to scream music because the meaning of DJ is this jockey someone who plays music from their collection

[@BeckfordCourtney-vf9we]

Hi I'm just trying to start all day but my quality is not good I tried a irig but didn't give me that quality and I am only using a virtual DJ on my laptop

[@ClevelandTerry]

Use whatever works best for you.

[@freqcity]

You are the realest bro

[@djwhizz8565]

Good tips brother! Thanks!

[@marcthemilitarydj.thevideo9379]

Great video!!

[@Manuelportraits]

Do you have a video that discusses being an affiliate and playing DMCA protected media? I see so many Djs playing music and can't understand how are they able to play and receive bits/donations when it's against rules. Thanks for your time an advanced.

[@ClevelandTerry]

Twitch doesn’t care.

[@Manuelportraits]

@@ClevelandTerry 🤣🤣 Fastest reply I got from any one. I just received an invite to be an affiliate and the legal stuff got me thinking.

[@ClevelandTerry]

Nothing to worry about. Welcome to affiliate.

[@Manuelportraits]

@@ClevelandTerry Thanks I look forward to express myself to the community through music. Keep spinning and educating love your vids.

[@djtinytenerife]

Hi Cleveland - who did your intro video....looks slick. Could do with one myself

[@ClevelandTerry]

I actually did that one myself.

[@DJSTOEK]

💘

[@djbigton5761]

you rock thank you

[@sergiopalalane9729]

awesome tips

[@mr205live9]

Awesome bro

[@DanielleKingdjdinosaur]

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.

[@DJ-Daz]

Thank you for these excellent tips, as I've just finished my first ever livestream, I won't panic or worry about the trivial stuff, I'll concentrate on the music.

[@TechSupreme1]

I keep running across your videos and at this point, it's disrespectful not to subscribe. All the videos have been fire.

[@ClevelandTerry]

Much appreciated
