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!!

[@donsmooth514]

Definitely on point with this top ten. !!!

[@allanturner-ward3980]

Thankyou Terry 🙏

[@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.

[@djwhizz8565]

Good tips brother! Thanks!

[@tessalexander1885]

Legend thanks brother

[@bfastier]

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

[@bryanketler9354]

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

[@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

[@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 ❤

[@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!

[@marcthemilitarydj.thevideo9379]

Great video!!

[@DJMARINKOx]

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

[@ItsLumiVR]

[@paulboogle2743]

You are awesome. Well said. I appreciate you brother bless

[@sergiopalalane9729]

[@mr205live9]

Awesome bro

[@Keif_Stoned]

Awesome advice.

[@expdwilliams545]

Good job homie

[@davidalexander4724]

You are the realest bro

[@djbigton5761]

you rock thank you

[@tofunuggets1]

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

[@mbgarrison2279]

thanks really helped

[@MarcusHart]

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.

[@woahdaniel]

liked this with 2 accounts, thanks for the helpful tips! just got into Djing so let's get it

[@mr205live9]

Really inspiring

[@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.

[@fuckingmodels247]

thank u!

[@DjDiamondLee]

so good

[@jaxonyagrownfolksdj5607]

Great tips

[@djsarumawashi]

Thank you for sharing. GREETINGS from CABO VERDE ISLANDS CHEERS🤩

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@BillyLane916]

10/10 solid advice

[@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

[@DJMissMilan]

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

[@thegoldenscript]

I appreciate the twitch tutorial. Thanx

[@chillerinthemix1]

thank's Cleveland

[@DJFurious619]

Dope video! Man... why you clowning homeboy with the close up cam?!! We know who you talking about! LOL! Good stuff!

[@ClevelandTerry]

I have no idea who you’re talking about. 😂

[@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.

[@DanielleKingdjdinosaur]

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.

[@HypnoticMadameJade]

you're great and funny.... I love it... I need big time help setting up.....rrrrrrrr

[@ctrlartdel]

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!?

[@djjamad1416]

Great

[@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.

[@DJSTOEK]

💘

[@DanielleKingdjdinosaur]

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

[@DJDainjazoneLive]

solid advice brotha 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.

[@Gelenkbusfahrer]

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.

[@djraytheonearuba6480]

Super good info.🔥💯

[@DanielleKingdjdinosaur]

i dont look at how many are watching at the time of the stream because i am using one computer for everything and its a beast but its still pushing what it can do all at once to the limit so im too busy making sure that everything is working as it should.I usually do a pre broadcast run just freestyle to make sure the connection is good and that im not getting any crunching lag or stutter which can happen if things are not set up right and i also keep a fan on just in case.If all is running smoothly then i take a five min break before i go live and then the broadcast starts.All during that broadcast i have an i pad showing the stream and i monitor that and everything else as i go.I look at numbers later.They currently are not good.Thank god that none of this is my living as i would be homeless and starving by now.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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! :)
