ZeWeX : I decided to buy the rest of my DJ equipments before July. Electrifying for [Fun]
"DJs" or "Disk Jockeys" are people who play music to the open public for parties, special events, or just plain fun. There are several types of DJs, according to setting, style, and genre of the music to be played.
Steps for playing music using CDs:
you must be familiar with all genre and types of music. Trance music, even though it is not the most important genre of music, could be considered as the best electronic dance music that could develop your skills.
1- Make sure you put out a piece of paper for requests, if people want to make requests, they will usually only do it if there is a piece of paper.
2- Begin a "set" (a list of songs to be played) before setting foot inside a DJ booth.
3- Load the first selection, and, simply enough, press play on the first side of the CD players, which will from hereon be referred to as deck 1, to begin playing the song.
4- Load the next selection into deck 2.
5- Listen to the sample of the next track on deck 2, and try to judge the tempo and adjust the pitch/tempo fader to match the track playing on deck1.
6- Start the new song in deck 2 over, and begin to find your cue point.
7- Wait for the point in the song playing on deck 1 in which you wish to begin mixing the song on deck 2 into the mix.
8- Continue to switch back and forth between decks.
And, you are Done !!
Things you need:
* A good selection of CDs within the same general genre of dance music.
* 2 professional DJ CD-players.
* A 2-channel DJ mixer.
* Quality headphones (meaning they do not distort at high volumes. This will allow you to be able to hear what is playing in the headphones equally as loud as what is presently playing from the loudspeakers).
* A decent sound system (usually two loudspeakers and an amplifier. Many professional DJs also have a subwoofer, which allows the 'thump' of the kick-drum beat to be felt by the dancers on the dance floor).
* The will to learn (this also means accepting constructive criticism from others, because you can use that to your advantage to learn as well). A good DJ does not only play the songs well, but he also listens well.
* Patience and practice.
Optional [I would prefer]: a MIDI synthesizer
Also, you could have your own Electro-Acoustic Guitar:
