Record a 60-Second Practice Mix in tinytunes DJ
A step-by-step beginner guide to recording a 60-second practice mix in tinytunes DJ, plus a simple listening checklist and common recording fixes.
A 60-second recording is the fastest feedback loop: short enough to repeat and long enough to hear what is working. This page gives you a simple step-by-step and a quick listening checklist.
Do it in tinytunes DJ (step-by-step)
- Open tinytunes DJ.
- Pick two easy tracks (similar vibe and speed).
- Load Track A to Deck A and Track B to Deck B.
- Start recording.
- Play A for 15-20 seconds.
- Start B quietly and do one short hand-off to B.
- Stop recording around 60 seconds total and save it.
Listening checklist (quick)
Listen once and answer:
- Did the volume spike during overlap?
- Did the transition feel early/late?
- Did vocals clash?
- Did anything stutter or glitch?
Pick one improvement for the next take (timing OR levels).
Common issues + fixes
- Recording is too loud: lower deck levels and keep overlap short.
- Recording is too quiet: raise output carefully and confirm system volume.
- Clicks/pops: close background apps and reduce multitasking.
- Lag while recording: restart the browser and keep fewer tabs open.
- YouTube track fails mid-take: swap tracks and keep a backup set ready.
- You do not listen back: force one listen; it is the whole point of recording.

Do I need special gear?
No. Keep it simple and focus on clean levels.
What should I fix first?
Levels first, then timing.
