How To Use DJ System

By Landon Porter


The DJ system is also referred to as the Disk Jockey equipment and anyone can learn to operate them without many hassles. On the other hand, after learning how to use these systems you would still not be considered a professional. The latter requires non-stop practice and high levels of commitment coupled with discipline and skill.

A few equipments such as a couple of turntables, laptop and mixer are considered as very essential in this regard. Learn how you can work with these systems; no matter how basic it is, if you are to be skilled in using it. By committing to improving your skills in this regard, you will soon be a highly sought-after Disk Jockey.

Put in efforts to learn more about the DJ equipment. Improve your expertise in mixing and playing tracks on two different turntables at the same time. Your skills in playing the mixer should be worked on properly. If you desire to know the way to control the volume, tempo, filters, pitch and crossfader, you need to know how to work with the mixer.

Although it has been stated above that the mixer is quite important, you cannot become a top DJ if you make the mistake of ignoring crossfader. Several leading and skilled DJs use this tool to create beautiful mixes of music. It is important to know how to use the tempo tool to evaluate a track's BMP.

The ability to cut bass, middle and high signal in a track is one that is made possible through filters. Having learnt this, the work of separating bass from one track with harmonies from another one becomes simpler. As the Jockey plays around with the track using filters, it gets easier to match music using BMP.

After learning how to use this equipment, the next step is to try to mix a music track. While this is going on, the crossfader should be kept strictly at 100% on the first deck. As this is happening, play the deck two and listen to the track using a piece of headphones rather than on the main speakers.

One should not be certified as able to use a DJ system without learning all details regarding it. By sliding the crossfader, one can produce the basic mix. As one continues to practice, it becomes easier to produce mixes seamlessly. Other important aspects which need to be learnt include timing of transitions in addition to planning the mix.
