An introduction to studio mixers used by Deejays

A studio mixer, as hardware, is primarily a mixing console by Deejay. This electronic device is meant to combine the multiple sources of audio inputs and mix these signals.

The mixing is done through various combinations of EQ and channeling among others, to produce either a monophonic or stereo signal in the form of a quality sounding sonic image usually referred as a mix. Deejay studio mixers are used in numerous recording situations including professional studios, PA or sound reinforcement, broadcast stations and for post production in the film industry.

New equipments used by Deejays

Top recording studios usually include the high end massive consoles as their preferred recording studio mixers. Size does not matter anymore in current times with greatly improved circuit technology and reduced sizes of studio mixers used by Deejay. The ultra compact and portable recording studio mixers are without any compromise in quality. As the Digital Signal Processing technology advances day by day, the ultra compact recording studio mixers used by Deejays are making their presence felt with their affordable price tags yet with superior quality that is usually expected from the high end studio mixers as Musica has changed. With increased connectivity options, including Firewire and USB outlets, promising high speed transfers, these compact Deejay studio mixers are able to interface with computer software, further enhancing their highly sophisticated features. A Deejay studio mixer can also refer to certain software replicating the functions of the electronic hardware, and this software is commonly found in digital audio workstations.

The future

Although studio mixers used by Deejays can be regarded as a necessity for any recording studio- home or professional, there are some audio engineers who choose to go mixer less as a matter of personal choice or due to the amount of audio equipment available. For other sound engineering enthusiasts, recording studio mixers can meet their needs whether as a budget studio or a more advanced and established studio.

Which come with only one pair of input outlets and another pair of output outlets. A recording studio mixer then gives these sound engineers more options in channeling the audio signals to achieve the expected level of recorded sound. The better established studio with more audio equipment need the recording studio mixers either to be used as front-end to the audio interface or as the back end. Though some studio mixers can be used interchangeably, not all recording studio mixers function as both.

Budget studios require Deejay studio mixers to increase input outlets to record more audio sources rather than having to keep changing cables to the basic soundcards. expected from the high end studio mixers as Musica has changed. With increased connectivity options

Are you ready to experience the exciting lifestyle of being a Mobile DJ working Weddings, corporate events, parties and more?  Well, in this article, let’s lay down some rules for you and your mobile DJ business. The following Do’s & Don’ts of Mobile Deejaying are designed to help save you time and money as you go out and grow your business.

Mobile DJ Don’ts

Let’s focus on the “don’t” first. When you are on the event, DON’T show up unless you are prepared for the music playlist that you are going to play for them. All parties were not created equal (and neither were their guests!)  so it would be a great alternative to you ask the client for a specific list of music that they want to be played on their gatherings.  You must PREPARE before showing up.  If the host doesn’t give you must to work worth and you are left to decide yourself, ask some follow-up questions like what type of party is it, or what are the age ranges of the guests.   It’s a heck of a lot easier to choose what genre of music you are going to play when you know the ages of participants.

DON’T interrupt people when they are on the dance floor. Be professional when you are going to have an announcement. Never voice ruin the flow or momentum of the event.  You can easily follow the flow of music and turn the volume slowly. That’s your chance to start talking. Also, don’t talk in that cheazy DJ voice from the 1980′s!  Everyone hates that!

DON’T Show up Late or Leave early!  The last thing a client ever wants is the added stress that her party may be ruined because the DJ hasn’t arrived.  ALWAYS arrive early and never thing of sneaking out before the night is done.

Mobile DJ Do’s

Now, the “DO’s” of Mobile DJing.  You must DO a necessary double-check of all of your equipment and tools before leaving for your event.  There is no excuse if you arrive at an event unprepared without the proper accessories.  In fact, have extra cables, power cords and speakers for emergencies.

DO organize and categorize your music.  When requests (or inspiration) arise, you need to be able to easily grab what you need without thinking.  Create a system for easily organizing all of your music.

DO be on time always!  I can’t stress this enough!  In fact, be early!   Never be late and be sure to arrive first than the people who are going to attend. You know you much thing to do when you arrive at the venue right? So being early is a wise choice to prepare for more. When you are early, you don’t have to rush getting ready.

DO ask you clients a feedback of your services.   Not only will this feedback help you to improve your skills and services immensely, these positive reviews will serve as testimonials for your website!  This is very effective marketing!  Just don’t be afraid of a little constructive criticism.

And finally, DO thank your client for choosing you to DJ their special party.  You are working in a large sea of competitors, you need to show your appreciation for their business.  And don’t forget to kindly ask for some referrals!

DJ’ing has become very popular in the last few years especially since technology has allowed a non-technical person to become a Pro DJ in a few weeks when equipped with the right Digital Scratching Tools available on laptops. This article will teach a person to DJ and what equipment they will need after the purchase of a laptop to start mixing beats like a pro.

Purchase a laptop. Look for a good brand Laptop that you know will not crash during a gig. If you are looking for a PC, I would recommend closely looking at customer reviews, talk to electronic store sales people, and even ask your friends what laptops they may recommend. The great thing about a PC is that a consumer can get a phenomenal computer with all the bells and whistles for a very affordable price. The problems PC’s face are viruses that infiltrate that operating systems and crash the hard drives erasure program, music, and important data.

Consider a Macbook. They are absolutely more money and don’t offer all the bells and whistles the new PC’s are coming out with, but they do offer stability, consistency, optimal performance, and are not nearly as susceptible to the viruses a PC can get.

Demo (trial) DJ Software before you buy it. You can get a bunch of free DJ programs to start with BUT these programs do not offer what the paid programs do. There are so many free programs that they are unnameable at this point but the ones that you should look into are Virtual DJ, Traktor, etc. These are programs that must be bought but offer things like, playlist controls, beat mixing features, sync mixing features, skins that look like real mixers, etc. The free programs will not do what you really need to do as a laptop DJ.

You can stop here if you just want to practice before getting into the equipment you’ll need to start DJ’ing gigs. You can even DJ smaller partied with good laptop speakers any time you want. To become an advance DJ with good sound equipment, move on to the next section.

You have your laptop and DJ Software, now you need a mixer. You have to plug your laptop into a mixer of some sort. You will output the speakers from your mixer. Mixers are fairly inexpensive and can be bought at your local music store. A 4 channel mixer would be fine. Some DJ Software Programs offer an USB external sound card. These sound boxes allow for separation of the Left and Right Channels. If you do purchase a usb external sound box you would run a 1/4″ cable out from the LEFT channel to channel 1 on the mixer. You would run a 1/4″ cable out from the RIGHT channel on the box to Channel 2 on the mixer.

IF you DO NOT have an USB external sound card, then you will be using the “OUT” or “Headphone” jack and run an 1/8″ out of the computer to 1/4″ into Channel 1 on the mixer.

You have your laptop, DJ program, Mixer, now you need speakers.To keep you set-up simple but still powerful, invest in POWERED (Active) speakers. (Speaker that you need to plug in to get to work). If you get passive (non-powered speakers) you will need separate amplifiers connected to you mixer. Powered speakers are more expensive but will punch/kick your music better and your dj set-up will be much simpler.

The female end will get plugged out from the mixer and into the speakers (Left/Right outputs). Buy 2 Speaker stands if possible.

You have your laptop, dj software, mixer (optional usb external sound card box), 1 1/’4 – 1/8″ cable, powered speakers, 2 xlr cables, and speaker stands. You just need your favorite music and you are ready to start practicing to become a pro DJ on a laptop.

Who wants to DJ on an iPad? Apparently millions of people do. From Records, to CDs, to Big MP3 Controller Units, and to laptops, the industry has been revolutionized one step further into the future, with a small thin electronic tablet called the iPad. Pretty good applications have been developed for DJ’s who want to experiment how to dj on an iPad.

Some of these applications include Baby Decks, iPad Kontrol, Mixr, and one of the originals, PadDeckX. As thousands of applications are being created for the new iPad, many more DJ applications are being developed as well. Along with the thousands of good applications being created, consumers have to beware of the ones that will be a big waste of money. Always keep your eyes on consumer reviews before purchasing an iPad application. If it’s free, might as well download it and try it out.

As a DJ, I am extremely excited to get my hands on the iPad and start playing around with many of the music applications. With that being said, I will not be replacing my current set-up to only dj on an ipad.

I will be using the iPad as an add-on tool to play loops, samples, fast mixes, and other cool effects. Currently, I am using an iPod Touch as a back-up mp3 player on my system. I even have a pretty effective sampling program that I mess around with while using my Denon HD2500 to play my main mixes. I feel like the iPad will be a fantastic addition, making it much easier to play samples on that large beautiful screen.

The applications to be able to dj on an iPad look similar to media DJ controllers used for physical cd and mp3 units. The difference is that there are no rubber or plastic buttons to push, no faders to control, and no physical knobs to turn. Everything is controlled with the touch of human fingers tapping and gliding across the hard plastic screen. When I am turning knobs, moving sliders, and pushing buttons, I feel in complete control and connected to my equipment and my music. When I use the iPad, it feels cold and I feel disconnected. I also feel like it’s cheating and get a little frustrated knowing that any kid can now do what it took me years to learn and perfect. It’s cool, it still will never look as cool as a dj using actual physical turntables or scratch wheels.

There are still drawbacks to only using an iPad to DJ. One of the most important elements in dj’ing (beat-mixing) is being able to cue a song (listen to one song in the headphones ONLY, while playing the other song (ONLY) through speakers. At this point the only way to play music out of an iPad is through the 1/8″ headphone jack. There is no way to separate the sound. Laptops have sound-card audio capabilities and dj mixers have that capability as well.

For hobby dj’s and just for fun, I think these applications are fantastic if someone wants to dj on an iPad. They can scratch, and beat mix, and play samples, load thousands of beats and sounds, have really cool interfaces, and are getting much better as new applications are developed. At this point, however, nothing can replace the trend in DJ’ing with the laptop and media controller.

Laptops have incredible storage capacity, high processing power, extremely mobile, and most Dj’s that use a laptop connect a media controller (ex. Vestex digital controller, Behringer, Cortex digital music controller, Denon HDN-HC5000 or HD2500, Pioneer SEP-C1, and the incredible Numark NS7.) Serato Itch, Traktor, PCDJ, and other high-end laptop software like Virtual DJ used with USB Digital Controllers, make DJ’ing on an iPad look like child’s play.

Kudos to Apple for creating the iPad. As technology evolves and other devices get smaller, I think Apple had the right idea with the iPad. As awkward as it may be for a professional dj to dj on an iPad, it serves as a practical device with many useful music applications. As for now, it’s may appear to be just a fun toy, but who really knows what the future holds for the Dj industry while the iPad is growing in popularity and capabilities.

While you may have all your equipment and technology, make sure you have all your important music for your parties. Technology may evolve and make previous equipment obsolete, but good music will always be good music.

The label Music Phone alludes to a genre of mobiles that are dedicated primarily to the functionality of music. The appellation becomes a misnomer if the tag is applied to just about any phone with a Music Player. Music Phones form a league of their own. Like other phones they can possess abilities aplenty. These may include imaging, messaging, calling, entertainment, etcetera. However, the defining character of a Music Phone is its reserve of dedicated music capabilities.

The phenomena named Music Phones began post the conception and success of iPod’s. Apple, harbinger of the iPod technology accorded users the latitude to carry and hear music at their own convenience. Mobile manufacturers took inspiration from this and integrated the feature in the body of the phone. The act was propelled by a mounting aspiration to package as many technology based applications in a mobile as possible, and to make these devices completely indispensable. Portability and compactness became the unique selling points of dedicated phones.

Magnates of mobile industry launched products with enhanced music functionalities. Sony Ericsson launched the Walkman series. The catalog enlists some of the best models in the music phone category. Nokia added state-of-the art music features and added the title Music Edition to their Music Phones. Motorola launched the ROKR series. Each of the brands innovated brand specific technologies. For instance, Nokia catapulted the Nokia Xpress Music feature. Phones laced with this feature can play songs in multiple formats. They can connect to radio stations and play audio-visuals. Such phones have large storage and can provide quick access to songs. Sound clarity and musical effects are of the highest order.

Sony Ericsson’s Walkman phones have customized features such as TrackID, Mega Bass, Play Now, and Music DJ. Music Phones such as these have keys dedicated especially to the task. They expedite access to Playlists, genres, and formats.

Headphones can offer you many solutions to your audio world. They allow you to listen to your favorite music privately, without disturbing anybody. They let you watch TV late at night without keeping anybody awake. They can even reduce the amount of outside noise with select models. So obviously there are many reasons to own headphones. The problem is there are as many models available as there are reasons to get them. So when it comes down to making a purchasing decision, you must think about what you will be using the headphones for.

Below you’ll find a list of things that our product specialists recommend our customers to look for when buying headphones.

Jack Compatibility: Make sure that the headphones you plan on purchasing will work with whatever you intend to use them with. For example, if the headphones you purchase come with a 3.5mm mini plug but the stereo you plan on using requires a full sized output, your headphones wouldn’t work. Of course, you can buy an adapter for this type of situation, which often isn’t too expensive.

Comfort: Since you might be listening to your headphones for long periods of time, it is important that you find the style that is most comfortable for you. You might want one that fits directly into your ears, one that goes over your head, or one that goes behind the neck so you can preserve your hairstyle. Note that listening to loud music with headphones for prolonged periods of times can lead to hearing loss.

Sealed or Open Design: If one of your main reasons for getting headphones is so that you don’t disturb those around you, consider getting headphones with a sealed design, as less sound will slip out. This is due in part to the fact that the headphones “seal” around your ears, keeping more of the sound waves in the headphone cups compared to the open design.

Wire Length: You’ll hate your headphones if it requires you to stay abnormally close to whichever device you plan on using them with. In order to prevent this, check to see how long the wire is on the headphones so you won’t have to keep your device too close. If you can’t find headphones that have a wire long enough for your needs, consider getting wireless headphones, which can give you more range than wired headphones.

Outside Noise: If you plan on using your headphones in noisy and distracting areas, consider getting noise-canceling headphones. These work with small microphones, which pick up the noises outside and then play a signal that cancels them out. This lets you listen to your music in peace, without any annoying outside noise.
