Becoming a DJ is the dream of many young people. However, many are stopped by the fact that in order to achieve their dreams, it is necessary to accumulate a large store of knowledge about complex musical techniques. This is a DJ controller, popularly nicknamed "turntable". Fear of this unit is easy to dispel by step by step studying the process of the DJ's work.
Instructions
Step 1
Pick up music. In fact, this is the most important stage in the entire DJ job. Music is not written by him directly during playback. A DJ controller, mixer, and other gadgets are only needed to tweak the sound and correct some arbitrary sound effects such as scratching.
Step 2
Examine your controller. Depending on the price, the turntable can be single or double, which allows you to smoothly switch from one composition to another. Also, the cost affects the quantity and quality of switching of various effects. Typically, the standard set includes echo effects, overdrive, bass, midrange and treble controls. If your turntable is a "naked pancake", buy a separate mixer, as it is on it that is responsible for most of the work of the DJ.
Step 3
Learn to navigate among all the "lotions" available to you. Play and improvise. The more you scroll through the tracks and add your additions to them, the faster you will learn how to do it automatically.
Step 4
Get ready for anything. Remember that the style of music also determines the effects that you need to own. Working in the club, you will have to work with a very diverse genre repertoire, ranging from D'n'B to the dance version of the 90s.
Step 5
Hear the DJ gurus play. Focus on those who have already reached the heights of professionalism in this matter. Pick up the original tracks, listen to what the DJs contributed and try to repeat. You need to get a feel for the music so that you get a coherent composition, not a set of squeaks and clangs.
