If you have a DJ practicing a lot, it isget an idea of what to go with which tracks. Schedule your tracks carefully and remember, boot from the CD quickly caught the attention of the heavily.
Use fresh new songs that make you have potential, but are still played by a few people. Avoid the use of simple melodies and played all the disc jockey for 6 months.

3. Produce it perfectly
By this I mean you'll have to record at optimal levels, make sure that the volume levels are consistent throughout the mix, check there is no distortion and burn the CD at optimal level.
Many people record with Sony Soundforge which is perfect for almost any audio recording. Its wide range of attributes mean you can optimise what you've recorded very easily and apply effects where necessary during editing.
For example, you may decide your sound needs sharpening up and the volume needs increasing: all this plus more is possible using Soundforge.
4. Set up your recording properly
This part is easy of course, but many people still need it explained to them. Hook up your decks to your mixer, and the main output of your mixer to both your PC and your amplifier. Your mixer should have a main output and a recording output. You'll need some RCA cables to hook them up to your amp and your PC. Most likely, your soundcard 'in'.
This means you can hear your mix through the amp to mix properly and record yourself through the PC simultaneously.
5. Make a great cover for your DJ promo
The CD cover is important not only for the image of your CD but also for your image as a disc jockey. Remember, you your demo could end up in the hands of someone fairly influential.
When you compare a bare promo CD without any cover or with a stylish, classy CD in a case with your logo name on it, I don't have to tell you which one makes the best impression.
Use a CD printer to customise your CDs and send them to you. It'll cost you a few $£EUR but will be worth it.
You will need to design the cover yourself, or get a friend who is skilled in graphics to help you.
