DJing

The book I read to research this post was DJing for Dummies by John Steventon which is an excellent book which I borrowed from the library. I think the main reason most DJ’s become DJ’s is their enhanced ability to pull women. It’s also quite nice to see the crowds reaction when you play a great record though. If you are interested in becoming a DJ you should have a go with someone else’s equipment initially to see if you like it. One thing a lot of budding DJ’s don’t realise is you need good quality equipment that’s specifically for that job. If you use cheap record decks or cd decks the vibration from the bass is liable to make it skip. Also at high volume it’s liable to have feedback & distortion. Also with record decks you need a good motor after all you are going to be using them quite a lot. You should certainly test them thoroughly before buying them especially at high volume. Some DJ’s skimp on the mixer which if you buy a decent one you can get special effects rather than just fading from one song to another. You should never use noise cancelling headphones in a DJ environment because you need to be able to hear any interference or distortion. These days a lot of DJ’s use an ipod or laptop to store their music which is much more portable than lugging around a load of records or cds. Also some DJ’s store their music on some blank cds in the form of mp3s. If you are burning cds or copying music onto a hard drive for music performance you need a special which at the time this book was written was £200. You should make sure any equipment isn’t liable to tip over after most of the people dancing will probably be drunk & if there’s any chance it can tip over it probably will. Established DJ’s can often demand something like a case of budweiser beer when they perform. If you are performing somewhere you need to clear up whether you will get free drink. Especially if you are starting out it will probably be each time the manager visits the booth.
