Phone DJ Setup Checklist for tinytunes DJ
A practical pre-flight checklist for DJing on phone with tinytunes DJ, including a 3-minute smoke test and common fixes for audio, interruptions, and lag.
Phone DJing works best when your setup is stable: audio works, interruptions are minimized, and the browser stays in the foreground. Use this checklist before you practice or record a clip.
Pre-flight checklist
- Use headphones (wired if possible).
- Enable Do Not Disturb / Focus mode.
- Close extra tabs and background apps.
- Plug in power if battery is low.
- Keep the browser in the foreground (do not app-switch during a mix).
Do it in tinytunes DJ (3-minute smoke test)
- Open tinytunes DJ.
- Load one track on Deck A and one track on Deck B.
- Move the crossfader fully to Deck A and press Play.
- Briefly press Play on Deck B quietly to confirm it works.
- Do one short hand-off (blend or quick cut).
- Record 10 seconds and stop.
If this works, your phone setup is good enough to practice.
Common issues + fixes

- Bluetooth delay: switch to wired headphones for practice.
- Interruptions: enable Do Not Disturb / Focus mode.
