When contacted me three months ago, the organizer KOPPETZKI EVENTS from Berlin to DJ's for the mega event MUNICH DANCES to organize during the party line GERMANY DANCES , I myself was, unfortunately, already scheduled. More than 10 areas with over 20 DJ's & Acts were for last Saturday 15th May 2010 at the Olympia shopping center (EET) planned - Bavaria's biggest party!
After addition of yours truly now my beloved HK LUCAS 1000 in the years come and found me more and more difficult, I decided to switch on time for my 37th birthday tomorrow on newer DJ Equipment . About 1800, € I invest in the decorative particles in this picture, the HK Audio LUCAS Performer . In this scale there are few better systems on the market, either phonetically or by the performance here and certainly not what the simple handling concerns. HK AUDIO is there really to the needs of mobile discos, entertainers and solo entertainers. From dinner-party atmosphere to the climax can be emotional, but make everything here, if required, punchy.
The specifications are almost the same, so a bass with 500 watts and two top units with 200 watts of power, but all in all a bit easier. :-)
To this valuable transporting mobile high-end system, there is also good to have the right Schutzhüllenset and of course aluminum tripods and Speak-on Cable from Add-on Package . So I'm well prepared for the coming summer and the aid already high (time) 2010 season.
DJ skills: Beat approximation, mixing, and smooth transitions
Dear fellow behind the mixing desk,
this contribution is raising his finger to all the "entertainers" out there who dub themselves as cocky " Disc Jockey " , but not even know how to aligning beats, mixes properly and creates smooth transitions.
The decisive event for this is my first tour as DJ on board the cruise ship AIDAvita , where you had asked me before signing the contract, but a week to stay longer, because that one week in the fall of 2010 as " About -30-Party-Tour " was sold in the Mediterranean and me two " would remove professional DJ-colleagues " work. As a special Incentive for them to tour the beautiful Barcelona and Ibiza were even "overnight" visits. What the organizers, however, it thought the party island of Ibiza a week after the end of the season (!) And Barcelona to run on a Monday I ask myself today. * * Kopfschüttel
According mau the postings, just 300 had almost 1200 guests on board the ship because of the Ü30-Party were posted, the rest of the score was more than tea dance-Ü60-society. & # 160; After I had briefed my colleagues on the ship's technology and I took the time to listen to because once I knew why. The well-paid men who then should take some of my gigs at the pool deck and in the Anytime Bar were allegedly in the trade, from which only After brief reflection, it occurred to me then, was
The department, or the drawer of the first Plattenschubbsers & clear? # 160;. "Übergangszerlaberer" and the second "Random Mixer ;-) What's that?
- is the "Übergangszerlaberer" These are the kind of wannabe radio host who give to each individual have your butt in high-minded, because they simply do not check - Category 1 how hinbekommt a smooth transition. And that's just this kind of new German Schlager Disco Fox is not really difficult - it all sounds the same, and before the beat comes off the assembly line. Instead of just a little pitch to , the beat to match and hit at the right moment the play knobs then a sentence like: "... and the next song is originally performed by Whitney cough ..."
- Category 2 - the "Random Mixer This guy is a kind of part-time MP3 collectors , which has already discovered the computer as a tool for themselves - only with the numbers next to the three magic letters " BPM " he can just start anything. Hint: It means " beats per minute ," is like so much in terms neumoderner music from the English and stands for "beats / beats per minute. songs in which are about the same speed, you can align with corresponding DJ software but also with professional CD players to the pacing and mix so seamless transitions. Something like hear the guest on the dance floor very happy! ;-)
What there is still DJ-types in terms of transitions and mixing? Oh, you wonder will ...
- There is still would be the notorious "and hide" of the faders on the mixer with really every track used and so that each piece of music, whether it needs it or not, a clean and hides .
- Then there is the "laptop DJ from the Stone Age" who looks only to the age-old portable computer into the Excel database nachzuschauen on which neatly numbered CD of the title being sought on it is.
- The next step would be the " I-play-by- DJ Hero "which takes place with two notebooks and cloned iTunes his title through headphone jack on the large investment and is surprised about noise. Also a little tip: There are good, external sound cards, professional DJ consoles and special DJ software for little money. Look here:
Here are some links to the most popular DJ software that is as stripped down or is trial version for free download Virtual DJ Internet mixers "that suck up on platforms such as Soundcloud or Letsmix their great mixes - sounds pretty perfect, but a real DJ can not spend hours tinker at the perfect DJ set, he played live and in color in public and must Can there be, and often prove even under time pressure. And sometimes even the most sophisticated DJ is set not as expected by our guests. deserves from an alleged professional DJ which his living with music, but I expect a little more. Accordingly, I was already on the second night, both from various guests, as well as from operators Lufthansa City Systems and iMusic.tv , and my boss asked entertainment to take our program. Finally, there is turn a little revenue. The simple formula: the better the mood, the longer it gets, the more is drunk ... as simple as that! course, there is also the total -flying full-time professional superstars and vinyl fetishists
, which hang in the club and preferably only from disk, since there is nothing better. These guys and gals can scratch and then conjure up no end, but carry quite a lot of equipment for even more money through the area, unless they are already live on Serato Scratch
, the different musical genres and knows and dominates the transitions with some sensitivity and some drivel on the speakers does not go unrewarded. Even a little feel for the audience and a bit of confidence - not Selbstverliebheit - because help immensely. Anyone who has already organized one or the other party knows it ... Finally, I just want to find only the following: Each DJ gets sooner or later the audience that he deserves - I had on Saturday the 10th 9th April 2010 at HDW-Festival in Wörnsmühl incidentally, the best audiences in the districts Miesbach, Rosenheim and Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen and could not go home without a half hour encore. What more could you want? ;-) your Party and Wedding DJ Dan
