Press Release March 2008: Essential
DJ Equipment...
|
Absolutely Essential DJ Equipment
So you’ve decided to explore the art of DJing. You’re probably already
a music lover looking for a career change, a little extra money on the
side, or a hobby that will entertain your friends. Whatever your
motivation, as a DJ novice you’ll need some equipment to get started
and learn the basics of mixing, cross fading, beatmatching, and
scratching. Every DJ requires four essential pieces of equipment –
becoming familiar with the functions and use of the equipment is your
first step to discovering your inner DJ.
|
| Amps and Speakers
Without a good set of amps and speakers, a DJ might as well go home
because no one will be able to hear the music. A traditional setup
involves powerful amps connected to separate speakers. An easier but
more expensive alternative is buying speakers with built in amps – this
saves time and space since you won’t have to transport a lot of
different pieces of equipment. If you’re just starting out and money is
an issue, most stereos come with an auxiliary socket that can double as
an amplifier and speakers, though it’s best to buy your own amps and
speakers as soon as you can afford it.
|
| Mixer
A mixer is what makes a DJ a DJ. Mixers help DJs transition between
songs without stopping the record (or CD or mp3 file or whatever) and
interrupting the continuous stream of music. For beginners, a two- or
four-channel mixer is all you need. Through a mixer, you can accomplish
two different styles of blending songs together: scratch mixing and
beat mixing. Learning at least one of these blending methods is crucial
because there’s nothing worse for an audience – or a DJ – than a blank
stretch of silence. Your mixer will come with a variety of stereo
channels; each channel has a few components that you need to understand
in order to effectively DJ:
• A gain, which changes the pre-amplification of the signal before it
is sent to the volume fader
• An equalizer, which weakens or strengthens the signal in a certain
frequency range
• A volume slider, which changes the volume of your mix
• A monitor, which sends the sound directly to your headphones
• A balance, which controls whether you hear the left or right stereo
channels – not usually necessary when mixing • A mute button, which
mutes the sound
In addition to these features on each channel, mixers also have cross
faders to transition between songs, and volume monitors that change the
volume of the speakers in the room, the volume of the speakers next to
you, or the volume in your headphones.
|
| Dual Audio Source
The last piece of equipment essential for every DJ is a dual audio
source which allows you to play two songs concurrently. At this
juncture, you have to make a decision between traditional,
variable-speed record decks, CD players, or mp3 players used with your
laptop. Most die-hard DJs will say that records provide the best sound
quality and that DJing with any other media just isn’t “cool.” Not so
today – CDs and mp3s create the same quality of sound as a record, and
mixing techniques are often similar. The only advantage to the
traditional art of DJing using record players is showmanship – it’s
much more interesting to see a DJ grooving to his headphones while
changing records than it is to see someone tinkering on a laptop.
|
| Extras
Now that you have all of the basic DJ equipment, consider a few other
key points before you start your DJing career. First, a DJ needs to be
well versed in a variety of music — not just his own favorite genres.
Remember that DJs play for crowds, and if the crowd isn’t happy, the DJ
isn’t doing his job.
Secondly, being familiar with a wide variety of music isn’t enough –
DJs need to have their own music libraries, too. Though building your
music library can be a significant added cost, a good DJ must have an
extensive collection of “crowd-pleasing” music. Indexing your music by
genre, type, and “sound” can take a lot of time on the front end, but
having pre-selected transition songs ready and waiting will improve
your live performances immensely.
And, as with most things, always practice, practice, practice. Messing
up your set in front of a group of people can really blow your
confidence – DJs need to polish and refine their skills just like
professional athletes or musicians. Turn your love of music into a
valuable and entertaining skill – all you need is the right equipment
and the right attitude.
